Warning: Some Violence and Much Strong Language.HE WROTE: Random Thoughts as opposed to Deep Thoughts
Yes, ten worthless Moot points on the Master Po of Kung Fu. Jenny had to look it up. For me after I called her grasshopper several times.
Of course, "I am Spartacus" is really taking one of the team.
I think the Moot stamp is PERFECTLY FINE just the way it is. Since I'll be the one manning the Moot stamp since my handwriting is AWFUL and all I'll be doing at the signings is scrawling an approximation of my name (and if I make a mistake and write R.J. Doherty since that's the pen name I've been signing for like seven or eight years now, suck it up and MOVE ON) and stamping Moot in green ink, I think I get the final say on that. Enough said.
We got the 15 second TV commercial for DLD today and Jenny is seeing if we can get permission to post it here.
Chocolate covered cherries are very good.
And no, not that way. I know what you're thinking, you over there. Geez.
I don't think posting about being a 25 year old virgin--well there's a whole Seinfeld episode covering that, but Jenny told me I can't quote Seinfeld any more in interviews which I tend to do. Did you see the one about the coffee table book that turns into a coffee table? That was sort of the inspiration for the camo cover on the inside of the dust cover for DLD.
Hey, a new House is on tonight.
I'd love to do a book-signing in the Keys. But SMP probably isn't going to go for it. If I went out my backyard, into a boat and turned left and kept going, I'd end up there. That would be cool. I've always wanted to go down there. When I get some time I will. In the mythical year of 2007 which Jenny and I talk about when things slow down.
Meg didn't comment on the commercial spot which means she's really, really busy on something because she's always on top of commenting. You know, that's the other thing to remember in this business is that agents and editors have personal lives too and that sometimes when they don't get back to you, sometimes they're dealing with personal stuff. Or sometimes they're dealing with some other business stuff that's on fire that needs immediate attention just like you want them dealing with your business stuff right away when it's on fire. So chill, grasshopper, says Master Po.

You know Bob- if your handwriting is really bad you could wear lipstick and just leave a lip kissy print just above the moot stamp. Chicks dig a man in a skirt and lipstick.
Bob, are you just trying to set yourself up for an out of this world book tour? All that talk of chocolate covered cherries, mythical time travel and Seinfeld.
Sign the books however you want, but I don't recommend signing them 'Spartacus'. If you open the whole 'take one for the team' discussion, you'll be in that venue all night!
Not a surprise you like House.
You might want to check for the closest fire extinguisher at each tour location. I think you might have some 'fires' that Meg won't be able to take care of for you on this tour.
(And notice how hard I tried not to even bring up the whole sharpie, thigh, skirt topics.)
Mh in ok
Bob, you are making me very jealous, walking out your back door and kayacking down the coast to the Keys! Bring Moot WITH eyelashes and lips on the tour, I plan on getting my stamp in K.C.
Maybe someone shouldn't bring up "lip kissy prints" when we're still dealing with the thigh/sharpie situation. Of course, I'm the one "over there. Geez"
I love Seinfeld. I guess I need to get over that :/
Of course chocolate covered cherries are good. Most things chocolate covered are, don't go there, unless you are one of those people who likes raisins and chocolate but won't eat chocolate covered raisins (but I digress).
And, I wasn't thinking about it that way until you mentioned it. Sheesh.
Enjoy the new episode of House. I'll be watching Stargate SG-1 DVD's with O'Neill -2 L's, because it's just not the same without him - and trying to figure out why I hate CSS.
Huh ... why would I mention this? Guess the anonymity, had to look that one up, of blog posting sometimes is too alluring.
Thigh sharpie lip prints? Too bad that would eradicate the possibility of plausible deniability.
Of course I went there. I always go there. It's beyond my control, really.
Whenever I see "I am Spartacus" I think of Guy (Tom Everett Scott) in That Thing You Do! saying, "I led you here, sir, for I am Spartacus." Is it odd that I don't think of Kirk Douglas?
And we could always ditch Moot's accessories and have you wear them instead. Just a suggestion...
Cool - a House fan.
Love Hugh Laurie. Loved him from Blackadder days and as Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster with Stephen Fry. They were hysterical.
Of course down under we've had 2 weeks of House repeats because of stupid Commonweath Games coverage. So I'll be watching a new House tonight as well. Live for Wednesdays. Of course NCIS follows as well and Mark Harmon - well what can I say....can eat that man with a spoon.
Anyway - I digress and am drooling on keyboard. Not a good look. But your started it wqith all that chocolate covered cherry stuff ;-)
Hi downundergal. Commonwealth Games, now there's something I haven't thought about in ages.
I love Hugh in Jeeves, we get those re-runs on PBS, he's such an adorable doofus. So different to the cynical doctor (that guy reminds me of my ex-husband, 'nuff said.)
Bob, do you remember the soup episode on Seinfeld? My 25 year old daughter called from a bar in Hollywood a few months ago to tell me she and her friends were sitting at the bar with "soup guy" from Seinfeld. They ended up partying until the wee hours and when I asked what his name was she said "soup guy." Oh, to be young again, and twenty-five. Hell, I'd even go for forty.
Bob, I personally think you should be allowed to quote Seinfeld. It makes me feel less like a moron because I quote lines from "The Hunt For The Red October". So quote away! :-D
Oooh, Jenny has Bob using the caps lock! Don't think we've seen that before...
Chocolate covered cherries ARE very good. The ice cream store near my house makes a flavour called Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate. It's really reeeeally good. Damn, now I want some.
Here's a random PR thought: Instead of auctioning off "Dinner with Jenny & Bob," how about auctioning off "A Stroll with Jenny & Bob"? Eager fans can show you their hometowns, and you can get the exercise necessary for sanity.
I am laying on the floor weeping! How could you cancel your Atlanta booksigning in April. Sob, sob, sob. Now I'll only get a chance to meet you at the RWA and there will be 1,000 people in line and I won't get a chance to tell you how much BET ME meant to me. I LOVE THAT BOOK!! And wanted to go on at length about how much I loved it. Now, I'll shoved through the line in a hurry because you will be the most popular authors there. I'm going to stop now because all I left is abject whining.
I’m looking forward to seeing you in Scottsdale on April 20th. I’ll be the one, clutching the fist full of sharpies.
Ummm. Hate to burst your bubble here, but ... in the mythical year of 2007, isn't Agnes coming out? Sounds like deja vu all over again to me.
If SMP decides on a South Florida stop, I know a great independent book seller in the Upper Keys. My friend said you can borrow her kayak. We can launch it off my sea wall into the harbor.
Oh wait. In 2007, while promoting Agnes, you'll be planning and writing the third book. The Keys would be a great crafting/plotting retreat. Plus, Jenny, there's enough weird-by-the-world's-standards stuff and people down here to entertain you forever.
The Soup Nazi was on an episode of Scrubs last night, anyway I think it was Scrubs my hubby was flipping channels and saw it. Funny. Seinfeld is the ultimate show to quote, quote away. Do we need to vote? Let Bob quote!
Your Deep Thoughts made me think of Jack Handy's. I can never use the expression Deep Thoughts without thinking of SNL.
Cannot wait for the book and to see you guys at Rainy Days!
