Cakes, Dogs, Wolfmen

Hi! I've kind of been on hiatus for no good reason. Well, not exactly. I mean, I have been very busy and I guess that's a reason not to write a blog entry. Anyway, I am now going to write an entry of completely random stuff.

Stuff One

I am reading "Rock On" by Dan Kennedy. It's pretty funny. It's about time spent as a marketing manager at a big record label, and a lot of it reminds me of my time (which is ongoing) doing promotions for big TV networks. These jobs are kind of funny because you do wind up sitting in rooms with actors or writers (or in his case, musicians/singers) whom you have no business interacting with. Like tomorrow I have to go shoot something with David Alan Grier. Like, what? It's a weird sort of thing.

I hope he's nice, because I actually think he's funny.


Stuff Two

I am not going to go out during the day and adopt a dog and "surprise" my husband with it when he gets home. That would be irresponsible.

Stuff Three

My friend and I turned in a new book proposal yesterday. I really do want to write it, even though putting a book out was pretty strange. You spend all this time writing it, and you feel like you are making this big birthday cake, and that putting your book out will be like taking the cake to a party and being like LOOK AT MY CAKE EVERYONE! LOOK, A NICE CAKE!

But really, unless you are famous or your publisher has a ton of money to market your book, it's more like you bake a birthday cake, and then you wait until the middle of the night, get into your car, drive out into the middle of nowhere and throw your cake into a deep, dark lake.

And the bottom is totally covered with other people's birthday cakes.

So, yeah.

Stuff Four

Seriously, I'm not gonna just go get a dog.

Stuff Five

You know, unless you guys think I should totally do that.
