Jason R. Koivu

Thanks for accepting my invite!

Thank you for the friend

YO! All that sweet talk is gonna make me blush! ;) It was super fun to meet you too, and don't be a stranger. <------I mean it. *nods emphatically*

LOL, unfortunately, that is indeed a process of aging..... or so I'm learning.

That and having less tolerance for youngins ;)

Just dropping by to say, your new profile picture is awesome!!

Hope all is well :)

Bingo! This was at the Modern Art museum in LA, probably a couple years back. I call this piece "Spaghetti con Koivu".

You avatar with the yellow strands reminds me of an art installation I saw a couple years back.

You should know by now how easily I am confused. I saw your new avatar and was like who is that dude?

Evil Wiener that's who!

Mawahahahah!!!

Why thank you for the friendvite, Jason :)

I have been review stalking you for awhile now, nice to make it mutual :D

Those were my thoughts.

I had to make it politically correct! Can I meet you halfway and call you a transient?

I look forward to reading about your Oaxacan adventure!

for the book, muchacho!

Thank you for the friend-vite, Jason. Your GR page is the most entertaining I've come across on GR.

Dice shaming.

The "cheese fries" that I've had usually come smothered in a blanket of something like Cheddar or American, whereas the Parme..."

Sounds amazing, definitely will want to try soon. And yes, I tried truffle fries- I still prefer curly or cheese. But any potato related food will satisfy my cravings:)

How are the parmesan fries in relation to cheese fries?

Thanks for the friend request! I love The Tao of Pooh, I hope you do too. I have already added to my TBR, thank you. I look forward to stalking your shelves.

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Jason. I did a review of EL's Rum Punch you might want to check out.

There have been many great Khans throughout history, I'm the only one with an H at the end of her name though.

This sloth mug is great for drinking. And you can even drink things besides coffee out of it!

James Franco is wearing his Spritzerville cape!!

I also have Steve Lowe's address. Since he lives in Indiana, I'll probably stop and stalk him for a while on the way to your place, but don't worry, I'll get to you eventually.

Keep checking those bushes!

Spritzerville,…Ohio? is here!

Thanks for your address, Jason. It makes stalking that much easier.

Thanks for the friend request - i've been following your reviews for so long I thought that had already happened.

I'm so glad to be connected to another Patrick O'Brian fan. I want to reread the Aubrey/Maturin series again one day soon.

To books!

When I hit puberty. :) About a week ago.

When did these changes to your page happen?

My head stopped swelling when I got into college and realized I didn't know jack sh!t. Before that though, I had cauliflower ear issues from scraping them on door frames every time I'd walk into a room.

Putting out a book, for me, has been a humbling experience thus far. Sending your work off for others to judge would take the pride and arrogance out of the most Mr. Darciest of authors! But having people actually like your work, to praise it, take it seriously and want to read more, that makes me weak in the knees so much so that I doubt I could stand on any self-made pedestal even if I wanted to.

As for spam…I'll still fry it up and eat it now and then, but I don't like to foist it upon others. Perhaps at some point it'll become necessary, but I won't do it willingly. I'd love to rid the world of junk mail, telemarketers and salesmen of all sorts. I really don't want to add to it.

Checking in on you to see if your head has grown any since you are now an author. Nope looks the same to me. Where's my dang author spam from you?

He's unique all right.

Only diamonds are forever. Vacca is a diamond in the rough.

"Forever" in Vacca terms means a coupla weeks or so.

I swore off this site forever back in November, and then two days ago I decided to come back and start all over again.

Richard, I saw where things were headed and I just decided to beat mother nature to the punch.

If other examples are anything to go by, the proper sacrifice would be quality - I need to pump out at least a half dozen "books" per year…which dear moneyed reader are available for purchase on *da-dah-da-DAAHHH!* -->> AMAZON!!!

Dan wrote: "You must appease your alien clam overlords!"

Scientology? I'm getting a very clammy feeling. Keep your skull smooth and hairless, Jason; then when the aliens try to invade your mind, their messages will just bounce off. By the way, my skull will one day look like yours, only I won't have to shave it to get it that way...

You must appease your alien clam overlords!

Dan wrote: "Since your a Goodreads author now, don't forget to spam the shit out of people."

Oh man, when you turn to the darkside it becomes all about the spamming. Immediately they're like "Start a blog!", "Do an event!", "Promote! Promote! Promote!". It's the kind of pressure probably felt by new recruits to Scientology.

Since your a Goodreads author now, don't forget to spam the shit out of people.

Not a problem buddy :)

Hello Jason, thank you very much for your friend request, I am most delighted to accept after having followed with great interest your comments here and there in common GR friends' reviews.

I forgot to say how much I LOVE THE DRAWINGS! No shit, dude, this must be made!

It definitely will! According to my math, you're already 12/2 way there! I'll keep my eye on it and make sure I get the word out to peeps who still think I'm a decent person! (i.e., the bums on my street corner!)
