Still no check from the distributor.

But I'm still reeling from the rave review for MID-SUMMER DREAMS on hotsapien.com. And if that's not enough, my BLATHER column has been previewed on outinamerica.com. It will move to a more adult-themed site next time.

I worked on filling medium-sized and small orders all day.

When Philip got back from the renovation house he and I had dinner and watched REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER and some news shows talking Martha Stewart having been found guilty on all four counts (fraud, , insider-trading, lying to investigators, etc.) today. I hope she is vindicated in appeals.

I also saw Ethan Hawke talking about his painful split from Uma Thurman on 20/20. He seems to have real artistic integrity... and thus doesn't like to be part of the "Hollywood" game. I totally identify.

Martha is hurting, Ethan is hurting... We're all hurting. I hate to see people in pain.
