The FSU Opera is doing The Barber of Seville in November and Xerxes in March. Who's in?

Coming Soon: Oprah's Get-Rich-Pilates-Sudoku Calendar

I found my eleventh grade English teacher on facebook recently, and she wrote a note on my wall that said, "I keep waiting for your first publication--have I missed it?" Sigh. No, Mrs. B., I haven't technically accomplished anything with my life, although I did beat my high score on the Home Movies flash game.

Most of the time I feel too discouraged to even submit anywhere. Also too lazy. I figure what I really need is a great title that'll ensure tons of book sales, and then the rest will take care of itself. Possible ideas:

-Who Moved My DaVinci Code?

-The Five Sexy Teen Vampires You Meet in Heaven

-He's Just Not That into Your Parachute

-Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Zombies

-The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Zombies

-The Prayer of Zombie Jabez

-Tuesdays with Ann Coulter (that one is also a zombie book)

-The Time Traveler's Sisterhood Pants

-Who's Looking out for the Sweet Potato Queens?

-Julia Childs's Joy of Sex

Today I overheard a (presumably) sane, college educated person say the following: "I mean, I'm not saying the moon landing definitely didn't happen. But there's enough evidence to question it."

new painting

If I were always as productive as I have been the past week or so, I would probably have some sort of career by now. I painted the above animal porn, revised two essays, and finished two of the books from my list of shame, Bleak House and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

And for anyone who came across this post by Googling "animal porn" and got nothing but a stupid update on my reading list, I sincerely apologize.
