I am going to SPARE you!! (sort of)
Good god, did I have a disgusting dream just before waking this morning.
Do you ever want to carve a hole in your brain, right where that dream-image is, and permanently get rid of it??? Destroy it, smash it, explode it????
ick. The whole top of my head gets tingly just thinking about it. Let's just say it had something to do with 3-headed black worms and one of my bedroom slippers.
it was very Black Swan -ish.
Okay!!! On that happy note...
The jazz concert last night was UNBELIEVABLE!! They are always great, but last night was just jaw-dropping. It was a tribute to Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Buddy Rich. It honestly blew me away from start to finish. I really didn't want it to end. I love Big Band music anyway, but these guys are just the very best.
More good news, as always!! Except that I still can't go into too many details yet. I begin writing that crime novel this weekend (see post below), so if you thought it was hard to get me to answer an email before -- well, need I say more?? (I'm sorry; I'll do my best! And if you put one of those red exclamation points in the subject line (!), I promise to answer right away.) (But don't abuse that. Don't put one of those red exclamation points in the subject line (!), and then just say hey, how you doin'? Because it will just look like a paper-thin attempt on your part at tricking me into answering your email and then it might backfire; you might actually fill me with contempt once I realize I've been duped into opening your email by that red exclamation point in the subject line (!) !!)
Oh, I am just SO kidding -- I hope you know that!! It will be business as usual around here: Write to me and I'll answer you as soon as I can!
The other good news is also too soon to discuss in detail, however... M. Christian and I will very soon be sponsoring an annual literary award. It will be a monetary award (meaning money will be given to you!!) (No, not you, that guy right behind you, sorry...) and will almost probably also include publication of your novel! (Well, that guy behind you's novel, sorry...)
Isn't life fun, gang???
On that merry note, though, I really gotta go brush my teeth and act like today has begun around here, okay? (I've only been up for 3 hours already, might be nice to brush my teeth...)Thanks for visiting. Have the best post-St. Paddy's Day Friday ever, in the known history of the world!!
(Oh, and PS: There's a really cool excerpt in Vanity Fair this month -- an excerpt of an upcoming biography on Robert Redford, The excerpt focuses on the making of All the President's Men.Check it out!!)
See ya!
