Been a little while since I wrote an actual post (as opposed to a quick snippet about something) so I thought I'd share some updates on what has been happening recently. Most currently, I just got over being really REALLY sick thanks to a burger I ate at a party late Saturday night. The trouble began with violent vomiting around 3:00 AM Sunday morning and then diarrhea for the rest of the day, all while I was staying with a friend who had just cleaned her bathroom the day before. Making it worse, I actually missed the toilet on the first try, mostly because I thought I was going to be sitting when the trouble started and then subsequently tripped over my pants when trying to twist myself around to lean over the bowl. Yeah . . . not one of my finest moments. Even when standing properly for subsequent episodes I occasionally missed, the gagging so violent that it totally threw my aim off. Very gross. And it didn't end there. Once back at my parents place (it was, after all, Mother's Day) I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening pissing from the ass, the liquid bowels so fierce that I did eventually start to bleed come Monday. Now, thankfully, I'm all better, though very VERY worn out.
Wait, did you say party? Yes, I did. It was a fun one too as you can see from the picture below :) Now if just hadn't eaten the hamburger . . .
In addition to the party and food poisoning, this weekend saw the release of an author interview I gave Ray Wallace last week for his newly designed website. Now, unlike other interviews, I actually stuck to the truth when answering questions this time around, so, there will be no stories about my fleeing rabbit Koala bears in the outback or fighting giant squids from the side of a cruise ship. Such fictitious tales, while fun to spin, just didn't seem right this time around. I also didn't include my very true tale of the disastrous climb up Everest that saw my being forced to eat a Sherpa. No reason not to tell that story except for the fact that it is just too soon to talk about it, thus I shall save it for a future interview.

Let's see, what else have I been up too. Well, there was that thing with that girl, but that probably isn't appropriate here. I also already shared a picture of my lady friends roasting marshmallows on my burning chest from the week before -- can you believe I've gotten hate mail for that? People have also said no educated person would do such a thing, which must mean my college degrees were all scams. Oh well, there are very few people whose opinions matter to me, and most of them were involved in the fire play. All the others thought it was pretty cool when seeing the pictures.
Ah, I know something relevant to an update here. My three novels are now in print. Yeah, yeah, they were supposed to be out last month, but getting the right professional look for the books was a bit tougher than I imagined it to be and since I'm never one to settle for a standard below that which I set, I kept going back and working on them until they were just right. Well . . . until I thought they were just right. The final copies I ordered last week once the books went live did not match the proofs I had ordered, the proofs being better, so now I'm trying to figure out what the deal is. As of this morning I'm pretty sure it was fixed, but won't know for sure until more copies arrive (at the rate I'm buying proofs my books should all be bestsellers by now!).
So, that's about it. Nothing much more to update. Talk of making JIMMY and TEXT MESSAGE into movies has started again, but I'm not sure if that will get off the ground. Having mentioned this a few times, however, people have started asking me who I would pick to play the roles in the two books. Answering that isn't easy, though I do think it would be cool to see Tom Hanks as Mr. Campbell from TEXT MESSAGE :) What are your opinions on this. Also, who do you think would make a good Jimmy?
