Head Full of Nonsense
Ruh-roh. Did I promise a longer, better blog this week? I did, didn’t I? But…! I’ve been very busy building a shiny new Pet Trouble website for you! Very important! Shiny and new! It’s not quite ready yet, but hopefully I can unveil it next week…and hopefully you’ll like it! I’m pretty excited about it, and so is Sunshine, since it’s fairly unabashedly All About Her. ;-) Makes sense to me!
I’ve also been recovering from studying for Jeopardy! Man, it is WEIRD for a few days afterwards! Practically everything makes me go, "ooo, I should remember that for Jeopardy!" and then I have to be like, "all right, brain, calm down and switch off study mode already." I’ve heard that some contestants don’t study, but I totally did, because I can usually stuff a lot into my short-term memory. And then promptly forget it all a week or two later, which is finally starting to happen now. 🙂
But it is really strange in the meanwhile…what do I do now with all this goofy info in my head? When will I ever need to know the capitals of all the countries in Africa, or the names of random characters on 1960’s TV? What should I do instead of playing geography games while I watch Bones?
Build a website, that’s what. And maybe write some books. :-) Turns out I have deadlines aplenty looming in front of me. Oh my goodness! How did that happen? Where did April come from all of a sudden?
The very exciting news is that there will be two more Pet Trouble books, bringing us up to at least eight. And! You guys get to VOTE on which breed I write about for book #8!!! Oh BOY! There’ll be an online poll going up in September sometime, so I’ll make sure to point you in that direction once it’s live. Dogs dogs dogs! Yay!
I also have LOTS of TV to catch up on, since I’ve been watching "educational" television instead for the last month (and by "educational" I mean the John Adams miniseries plus old episodes of Gunsmoke and Dragnet and Happy Days. Don’t laugh! That kind of thing totally comes up on Jeopardy!). :-) I also managed to watch the recent Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy!, starring my favorite champion ever, Larissa Kelly. She’s AMAZING.
So I still don’t have much to yak about this week. But NEXT week…next week will be really exciting! ;-) There might even be free books involved! Seriously! Come back and see! 🙂
