I did an interview today with Korea Daily News, which will be written in Korean, though I gave the interview in English because my Korean is embarrassing. Seriously, I’m only comfortable speaking in it with my family because they know exactly what I mean, even if I’m just spouting off nonsensical words.
“Fire on the table tennis! Three branches and a moth!”
“You hungry, Anne?”
See what I mean? It’s like I’M SPEAKING IN SECRET LANGUAGE.
Anyway the piece should run either Wed, April 4th or April 6th. Lots of choices there. Sukie Park is the name of the reporter, and she’s really awesome. She’s got gumption and integrity, I like that. You know what I don’t like? Gatorade. It tastes like sweat.
In other news: The book comes out tomorrow officially! Apparently it’s available in some bookstores, and a person named Anne who is actually NOT ME emailed to tell me she had purchased the book last week. Whatever. I am going to go to Barnes and Noble tomorrow and ask the clerk, HEY DO YOU HAVE HAPPY BIRTHDAY OR WHATEVER BECAUSE I HEAR IT’S LIKE A REALLY REALLY GOOD BOOK. WHOEVER WROTE IT IS A GENIUS. SOMEONE SHOULD GIVE HER A BUCKET OF CASH. AND A PONY.
Also reminder: Barnes and Noble Astor Place reading/Q&A/signing goes down on April 10 at 7:00 PM and there’s a party at Crocodile Lounge on 14th St between 1st and 2nd Ave. There will be FREE PIZZA.
I just got MIT Coop’s last (only?) copy
I bet they only ordered one and it was free.
I’ve had it preordered on Amazon forever and ever, and they still haven’t sent it to me. I suspect someone in shipping is in love with your book and is keeping my copy hostage.
Not only am I coming to the kickass astor place reading on my birthday, but I’m coming with a date, a really hot girl named doretta, and i’m going to bring her a corsage. it’s pretty awesome. it would be more awesome if i was into girls that way, but since no boys asked to be my reading date and doretta did i figured hey, what they hey? this presents me with a dilemma though. since history has shown that certain jackasses have difficulty keeping annie and doretta straight, and since i have on more than one occasion acted like a jackass (not in that way, but in others, like when i fell off my bike in front of the king kullen the other day - supercool)…anyway, here’s my problem: I don’t want to be rude to my date, but what happens if i pin the corsage on annie on accident and then all night long i can’t figure out which one of you is my date? is there any chance annie you’d like to join us on our date? nothing would really be required, and i’d even spring for two corsages (in different colors so that i can tell you guys apart)…anyway, let me know.
This is tough because I get myself confused with Doretta all the time…or is that Annie?
