Trying to Remain Calm

I’m feeling a little stressed out.  The pub date for my book is March 10th and I’m doing everything I can think of.  What is today?  (I never know.)  February 27th.

What else could I have done with my life?  Not that it’s a bad life, in fact it’s mostly great, but I do find that I am regularly put in the position of having to do things I’m not good at.  Or, is that everyone’s life?  We all feel like that?  I want so badly for this book to do well.  But we all want things, and as that saying goes … damn you Rolling Stones!!

I took this picture the last time I was down at the WTC.  They were putting up these posters all around the perimeter of the site.

I ordered the Loki pendent!


I’m so excited! The minute I saw the necklace Mickey Rourke was wearing at the Oscars I wanted one!   It’s the one with the picture of his dog Loki on it.  I just read on Gothamist where you can get one custom made!

They’re made by Betina Wasserman and you can order one on her Etsy store Wicked World. On a side note, I’ve always wanted to figure out how to place two pictures side by side.  I can’t believe how easy it was, but I stumbled on the method by accident.  I should have been able to figure it out though. Anyway, I’m going to have Finney on one side and Buddy on the other. These are the shots I sent her.

The Sun is Out in NYC

Passed this by on my way home this morning.  Want.  Not sure my picture captures the prettiness of it.

American Idol:  I only really loved the 16 year old who sang the Heart song.

Dudes!

Finney was using my laptop as a pillow.  I had to close it up because he loves to pick off the top of the keys.  Usually I can snap them back into place, but he mangled the caps lock key so badly it won’t go back on.  Damnit.  I want a new laptop anyway, but I can’t afford one right now.  But man.  Just for the new screens alone!  I want that new 13 inch aluminum one.  Well, a girl can dream.

Anyway, at least they’re not monkeys ripping my teeth out.  CHRIST.  Did anyone read that article in the Times??  It’s hard to imagine little baby blanket-riding Mel from the previous post doing that, but point taken.  I will never buy a monkey.
