i am cross
OK, what’s the deal with Gawker? They allowed the world’s most annoying banner ad ever to be posted on the top. You know, the Microsoft-box-lookalike one that shakes to the point of making the viewer epilectic, with the ultra-sincere “Cograts, you have won our hourly prize” headline. Uuugh. Just the very sight of it makes me cross.
I hope they’re being paid well for the privelege of allowing their Gawker brand to be schlocked like that.
But on a positive note, Gawker thinks the person who wrote that awful, dreadful, disgusting, sanctimonious, self-pitying, lame-ass rant for Salon about how it sucks to be a “serious” mid-level writer is… Amy Bloom.
Schadenfreude. Works for me. Works for these fine authors too.

Wow. I kind of felt bad for her.
