Initially I was disturbed by it, but rereading it, I think it succinctly reveals that what Bishop says is not how she feels. At the same time, it breaks the sentence dismissing her loss as a non-disaster, isolating the final two words so they scream how she does feel: "like disaster".

You've been promoted, so you should be able to post now. Welcome aboard!

You have to go to logout in order to log in. Its in the left-side toolbar under 'other.' I am looking forward to hearing about Perillo, old man. No, its not obvious.

I'll say a little bit about Perillo's book when I figure out where I go to post on this thing. Maybe, since I can't figure that out, I am too stupid to be on this here blog.
