I’ve received some Frasier comments in my day. I try to go the baseball route instead and say my name’s Maris as in Roger Maris. My parents are baseball fans. They have a dog named Mookie.

Simon, not sure what kind of nonfiction you’re into, but eMusic has a nice selection of science books. I’m eager to listen to Richard Preston’s The Demon in the Freezer–I remember being utterly transfixed by Preston’s terrifying description of the ebola virus in his #1 bestseller, The Hot Zone. Now he turns his attention to smallpox… Fascinating, though not for the faint of heart.

Dorothy, the coffee machine is reassuringly familiar: eMusic uses the same yucky Flavia that they do at Simon & Schuster. Why does Flavia have a monopoly on gnarly office coffee?

Is the coffee machine a good one or one of those single uses crap shoots?

Awesome. Now can you do something about eMusic eating my audiobook downloads? Or maybe nudge your tech department about answering the e-mail I sent them days ago?

Non-fiction! I need more non-fiction audiobooks! There’s no chance of me signing up until you have more non-fiction to choose from.

Hello maris. OH NOES — “Foreskin’s Lament” unavailable for download in Australia. Oh well, it wouldn’t be an authentic eMusic experience without a couple of those now and then.

I got the John Hodgman “The Areas of My Expertise” which I am enjoying alot. It is abridged, of which I disapprove, but on the upside its read by the author which adds delicious nuance.

For my second credit I’m holding out for the Eric Clapton biography read by Bill Nighy promised in the press release. Due for general release on Oct 9 and I refresh Oct 20 so hopefully it doesn’t take a fortnight for it to be added.

Thanks, Maris.
How many Frazier-related jokes have you had to endure over the years?
