Hey, just because it’s a four-day week, doesn’t mean alot of stuff can’t happen. Monday, I slept in and hung out all day long, not writing (almost defiantly), despite repeated inquiries as to when my next book is coming out. I think we all know that I can write however many pages a day I want, but only the Gods of Publishing know the answer to that elusive question, so I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I need to just LET IT GO and stop obsessing. I did spend part of the day learning more about Banksy, an anonymous graffiti artist whose work I like and who is becoming hugely popular. If you want to learn more about him, you can click here to see a cool video. And, if you want to annoy him, you can click here to buy an "I AM BANKSY" t-shirt. Funny. But I digress.
On Tuesday, my book got mentioned by the New York Daily News as a "Sizzling Summer read." Again, FAN-TASTIC.
By Wednesday, Gawker was talking some smack about me which I chose to strategically ignore, because frankly, most of it was made up, and my foot hurt. However, I guess you haven’t lived until you’ve been snarked at by Gawker, so let’s just chalk that up to "interesting experiences." They also mocked Claire Danes, Tina Brown, and Rosie this week, so I feel special.
On Thursday, I got what I think is my MOST AWESOME REVIEW YET, in the form of an email, which I will quote here:
You’d think that this would be the highlight of my week, and frankly, it was. That, and finding out that my friend K. got a totally great job that everyone was rooting for her to get, so THAT was just awesome. Today turned out to be very hilarious too, though, as I just checked my MySpace account, and got an email from Dr. TATOFF’S OFFICE, saying they liked my blog. Yes, I mean THE Mysterious Dr. Tatoff from last Friday’s post, when I wondered if Dr. Tatoff was perhaps Eastern European, and already had that name before he decided to choose "tattoo removal" as his specialty, or if it was a name made up strictly for cleverness and publicity purposes (either way, a fantastic and funny name). They read my blog and liked it, and want me to come into the office. Which, I’m sure you know, I am totally going to do, just to see what it’s like so I can write about it on here.
