    Liz Hanks or (EA Hanks and she prefers to be called) is the worst. I had to sit through a dinner with the Vassar grad while she pontificated about the YA novel she was writing about a dog-- she said she was about (drumroll please...) 1/3 of the way through. (so I figure that's 30 pages?) then went on to say she was getting ready to meet with 'many agents' that were interested in repping her writing. That was a year ago...wonder how the book is coming? Papa Tom looked on v. proudly through all of this.

    ugh

    @Maria Hanson: In fairness, all sorts of writers yack endlessly about their own stuff. And some of Hanks' coworkers (who didn't hesitate to diss others) told me she seemed pretty sharp.

    @Ryan Tate:
    Ryan, you're absolutely right..I didn't add the detail of the other people seated at the table for dinner. Several literary luminaries, Tony winning writers and a couple of Oscar winning filmmakers. My takeaway was that she really felt that she was the most interesting person at the table--(since she never shut up) and she clearly wasn't.

    Um, oops?

    If the Puffington Host [TNR, natch] won't pay, don't write for them.

    Especially when they value the ego of rich people's children over your actual work.

    Leave, stop writing, now. I guarantee you'll not lose money.

    thus was it ever, except more so

    Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer-except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. Perhaps this was partly because there were so many pigs and so many dogs.

    ... Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse-hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.

    I have known professionally for almost ten years. Quiet, hardworking, got engaged a couple years ago and didn't turn once force anyone in the office to look at bridal mags with her. Leave her alone. I wish my uncles had that kind of money - All they have as far as trade in is old Harleys, mountains of weed, and a few six packs of Coors.

    isn't the girl pictured in this post the annoying girl with the grating voice who keeps popping up on VH-1 specials (on the lifestyles of the rich and famous and top fifty lists and whatnot)


    she's a real expert on lindsay lohan.

    MYSTERY SOLVED:


    if their uncle fronted all or part of the money for the apartment WITHOUT taking an ownership interest in the apartment which reflected the pro rata share of the purchas price paid by him THEN it qualifies as a gift under federal and state tax law and has to be taxed


    (any gift to a relative worth more than $10,000 per year gets taxed under the "gift tax" unless it is to pay for schooling or medical care)


    I'm going to email the IRS right away to find out what is really going on. If this guy and his neices are trying to skirt the gift tax law they all belong in jail.

    That explanation seems as sincere as a Brooke Shields eulogy at a pederast's funeral.
