Here are some things I’ve meant to share here and what better time than NOW?
(Many of these are facebook posts from the last couple of weeks that I don’t want getting buried and lost)
********
A friend told me that the reason I can never make money blogging is because I’m too erudite. I don’t whore myself out. I’m Pliny the Elder to Coors Lite, and what the masses want is Coors Lite. That’s the best compliment I’ve gotten since a longtime reader of my blogs compared my writing to Gonzo Journalism.
********
I boiled water for tea. I boiled it so good that when the water was all boiled off I boiled the pot too. Cause I have a headache and forgot I was making tea. And our car is broken and 3 out of 4 of my new shirts have ripped and my mom’s dog is dying and if Friday bends just a little bit closer to me I will grab it by the balls and twist them all the way to Sunday!
********
It was clear early on in my kid’s life that he didn’t fall far from the tree. Lately I’m coming to realize that he never really fell at all but is still clutching the familial branches. Poor kid. Or lucky kid, depending on who you talk to.
********
It is amazing how quickly you can build an imaginary person with imaginary problems and douche-pickle boyfriends and how wonderfully soothing and fun it is to concentrate on someone else’s problems instead of your own. Being a writer rocks!
********
3.4 mi rt to store on bicycle. That’s 4 times I’ve run errands on my bicycle in 8 days. I also took 2 vigorous walks in between those days. (estimated 15.4 miles on bicycle and 1 hr 20 vigorous walking in 8 days) It feels damn good!
********
My next non-Cricket and Grey book is going to be about two phlebotomists in love. Watch out for it. Coming to a (something or other) near you in two or three years of hard work.
********
Bacon flavored condoms exist. But there’s still no world peace. I think humans have got their priorities mixed up.
*******
Vodka is taking some major hits to its dignity and good taste now that people are actually “infusing” it with PEEPS and Jelly beans and serving it up with whipped cream and chocolate syrup and artificial flavorings and calling them “martinis”. But I guess you can’t expect much else in a world that has bacon flavored condoms in it.
********
I deeply dislike PE teachers as a group.
********
What to do with my day? I could sew or I could plant things or I could start writing my notes for the new book. I think I’ll start with notes, move on to planting, and finish up with some sewing.
OR I’ll end up doing none of that.
How about you all? What are you doing today?
