I Don’t Know Anything
Posted on | May 29, 2008 | 12 Comments
Tired now. Went to a networking lunch thing yesterday. It was very good, we made good connections. People were quite lovely and open to us. And Miss Frayn and I are HOT HOT HOT. Didn’t sleep the night before, or the night before that or the night before that. Am beyond tired. So really, I have no idea if the following video is funny or not.
All I know is that I’ve scheduled this post to pop up in the morning, and by the time you read it, I’ll be on an aero-plane on my way to my homeland. That great country where driving one’s SUV a few blocks is not just forgiven, but encouraged. A place where cans are thrown away and the only way to tell a woman’s age is by her hands. A place where the sun shines.
If anyone needs me, I am NOT in Malibu. I am NOT anywhere near a television where I’m watching home improvement shows and Project Runway. I am NOT lounging on a deck and saying things like, “who the fuck deigns to drive a car made in 2007? I ask you, WHO?” I will not be eating at Lily’s in Point Dume and I will not be going for walks on the beach with a teacup lab. I will be working and diligently mourning the loss of gloomy weather. NOT.
Here’s a video that might or might not be funny.

If that doesn’t suit you, here’s a very cute sweater that I knit and I’ll be wearing while I’m collecting free books and drinking on the publisher’s dime working hard in LA.

OMG! You have time to write everything that you write, read books to review, take care of a little guy (and a big guy), test recipes, bicycle around town, AND KNIT!?! WTF?! AND you are good at it, too, damn you. OK, must get off my ass and go do something productive…
Have fun in cali.

I love that sweater!!! I can’t watch the video right now because I’m sitting in the car with a lap top that doesn’t have sound because everything we own is just a little bit fucked up and besides, Charlotte is sleeping in her car seat so I don’t want to wake her up with what would no doubt be my laughter.
I’ll watch soon! Promise. Luv ya!

I wonder if you’ve met Robert yet? Also, did you know Alison Hallett is there?
Are you guys all hanging out together and talking shit about me?
Haha. Ok, I’m not paranoid.
BUT ARE YOU?
