Tahu Mbulet

Di daerah perumahan kota-kota besar di Jawa Barat dan Jabodetabek kini lagi bermunculan penjual tahu bulat. Biasanya dua orang dalam satu mobil bak terbuka. Karena dua mobil dengan satu orang bakal terlalu akrobatik. Satu orang tentunya pegang setir. Seorang lagi duduk di bak mobil, siap sedia di depan wajan penggorengan. Sampai saat ini sih, saya belum pernah memergoki ada penjual yang multi-tale Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Isman H. Suryaman (?)

“Finding a life partner is like choosing a bed. You need one as a friend either in times of health or sickness. Freshness or weariness. Happiness or sadness. And we can be certain that we've picked the right one without having to sleep with it first.”

“A wise man (or the first comedian in history) once said, "If you wish to make God laugh, tell him your plans." This is why during praying, I occasionally slip in my business plans. If there were an internet of somekind in heaven, my story would've been forwarded to everyone even before lunch break.”

I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

Thanks for the friendship, Isman!

Here’s wishing you a nifty new 2008 filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

I thought I'd let you know that my novel “Vacation” has been nominated for the best Horror Novel of 2007 in the Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll. So far it's ranked 4th.

In case you're interested in voting, feel free to visit the website here:

Thanks again!

-Jeremy :)

Happy Kutrifiguth to you too Abdyka. And everyone else.

Kutrifiguth is a day when we can take breaks from daily routines to celebrate life, contemplate, or show our affection openly to people we care about.

Because let's face it, most Holidays are like that. Serves as excuses so we can break through our self-inhibitions, to stop and smell the roses, to view how far our journey is, to set new destinations, to realize who else have been supporting us throughout it, and to thank them (or ask them for forgiveness).

And then carry on. Living the life.

And you know what, everyday can be a Kutrifiguth Day.

Happy New Year 2008

Happy New Year to you!
May every great new day
Bring you sweet surprises--
A happiness buffet.

Happy New Year to you,
And when the new year’s done,
May the next year be even better,
Full of pleasure, joy and fun.

Bang Isman..aku baca Jangan berkedip , lebih cepet dari Flash Gordon :) Buku abang selalu punya hal baru yg menurutku sgt inspiratif! Dari BAM aku pertama kali kenal esai comedywriting . Dan dari buku ini bikin aku tertarik utk nulis flash fiction. Karena selama ini aku lemah (syahwat) dalam nulis fiksi ! Thx for being such an inspiration...
