Wow, is it June already?
Let's see…..
Blogs neglected? Yep.
Emails not answered? Yep.
Phonecalls not really returned? Yep.
Computer infected with a strange virus that keeps
popping up, but that I don't really have time to deal with? Yep.
popping up, but that I don't really have time to deal with? Yep.
So, I'm sure you really want to come over to this
blog to hear about how busy I am, but I really am! I got involved in this
rewrite of a new book project, and I have all these other work projects to do,
and like, the other week I went to the dentist, and my dentist is getting a new
website, and now I'm doing an SEO project for the dentist, dude. I have this
sickness called "I can't say no to work," which I think serves me well at times,
but has just meant an exceptionally busy May, and now June. So, apologies for
the lack of updates. I would take some time off, but if you're a creative type,
"taking some time off" usually translates to "I don't have any work," so I guess
I'll just put my head back down in my computer again and be grateful to be so
busy.

On the "strange but true" front, I was asked to be
one of the "Career Day" speakers at my old high school last Friday, and I went,
and it was actually awesome! At one point, I did look out into the faces of
the students and realize that when my friends and I were graduating from that
high school, those kids were either being born or hadn't even been born yet, so
that was a little odd, but overall I had a good time and everyone was nice.
Actually, about four of the students had book projects they were working on, so
I found that impressive. Did you have a book you were working on while in
high school? I didn't.

in the week once I've wrapped up this rewrite and sufficiently apologized to everyone who has been waiting for me to return emails from mid-May, but for now, how about this totally absurd photo of an abandoned
gynecologist's chair that my friend Rachel found in front of her office
yesterday? Wow– so, you were done with the chair, but you didn't call the
"medical waste disposal" company, or even the trash company like you're supposed
to, eh? Just left it right out there in the street, huh? This is strange on
so many levels, not least of which is that you wouldn't think a gynecologist in
Santa Monica would have to leave in such a hurry that they'd just go ahead and
discard their chair, right there in the street. I like to make up stories about
mysterious things, so this one really entertained me yesterday.
I wonder what it’s like to reflect back in my high school years. Ah, the future is so far away…
Oh my, someone should give a yelling to the gynecologist. I mean, you would think they would be aware of the hazard because they are smart enough to be a gynecologist!
Oh, my contest just ended so I will send you the addresses of the 5 winners soon!
I’m happy to say I was one of those faces in that high school crowd. I thought you gave a very interesting presentation of your work and as soon as that grad money starts rolling in, I’ll be at Barnes and Noble to pick up a copy of Celebrity Car Wash. Come back to sign it! I’ll be following your blog now!
