Hah, many thanks, and I'm glad you liked Radium Baby. But more on that later… I try and stop by your blog every couple of days to check out the latest boogers. There's always something juicy. But I really like what you said, that the weirdness in life connects you to other people. I'd never thought of it like that, but you're right, we do connect with other people over our eccentricities. It always depresses me when people stop being strange. Some people just seem to make a conscious decision to be normal, and all of a sudden the person you really liked is just gone. thenewgreen recently wrote me a note that made my day. I hope he won't mind me repeating it, but his phrase was "the fight against normality". Keep that strange fire burning!
If you let it, Normalcy will spread, till you're dead :-)
