Koi oh Koi

How to describe Chuck Palahniuk? Strange, bizarre and somewhat disturbed would be a good start. His books deal with people on the fringes of society, or beyond the fringes. Underground fighters, surviving members of suicide cults, mad painters and scam artists ( in order; Fight Club, Survivor, Diary, Choke) populate his novels like beer bellies at a NASCAR event.

As to the koi; I'm sorry we're no longer on the fish market as we've just had a ceremony of commitment with a betta fish whose name so far has been: jaws, sushi, catnip, Bruce, bite-size and chum. If you have ideas for the fish's permanent name (bowl bait?) please add it in the comments. We'll decide on the name sometime next month.

the short answer is that I am VERY VERY cool...
the long and truthful answer is that i wrote him during his second window of accepting fanmail.... he promised (on NPR so it must be true) to write everyone who wrote him and to send a package.
One of my students wrote him too... but he didn't get a picture
