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.

 

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.

 

 I will try to cook up an interesting post for later 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.
