Thank You, Hunter S. Thompson! (Updated -- Quadrice)

You may have noticed that there’s a great big white space in the sidebar of my blog. Don’t worry. It just means that I’ve left Facebook for a while.

Rest assured, however, that I’ll be back.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll read my blog. Maybe even subscribe, if you really like it.

I’ll try to write much funnier posts than this one — really!

Just … please … don’t forget about me, okay?

Meanwhile, let’s go forward into the past!

Here’s a rerun of a series of posts I did on my dead archived retired author blog around the time I hit the New York Times bestseller list.

It’s The Further Adventures of Nick Danger, Part 1

Part 2

and Part 3!

While I’m at it, here are some interesting links I found around the Web in between reading like a madwoman, trying to peck out reviews, emails and the occasional tweet and just trying to live a normal life while being secretly tortured by a horrible movement disorder called dystonia.

Documentaries don’t come any bigger-hearted than this one! I guess.

Hey, remember Dan Shea? Good old helpful Steve Pryor “introduced” us, so to speak.

Well, Dan has tweeted the first 10 pages of his play. You should really, really check it out!

Is this justice ironic funny awesome interesting or what?

Tom Hanks is Broadway’s new kid!

Tom Hanks and I have the same birthday. Isn’t that awesome? Well, I feel like a kid all the time.

Got that?

Christa Faust’s blog is awesome! Oh, look! She even expresses an opinion without fear of being maimed or killed or whatever.

And let’s get real. A blogger must keep it real in order to market online and reach readers effectively, am I right?

Thank you, Oscar Wilde! You were awesome.

Here you go!

And another!

I’ll be so glad when I’m done with this book I have to review and trying to figure who’s real and who isn’t and just come up for air. Why me? WTF? Seriously.

I must admit, I breathed a sigh of relief when I disconnected from Facebook. Really!

Thank you, Cassie X! Those are the perfect words.

Pin these!

Finally, I was doing the teaser tonight, but before I did, I noticed Paul had posted about the latest James Bond movie. Well, that got me to thinking about the first time I met Paul on this blog, because of the Bond movies. So … really, we first bonded over Bond. Ha!

So … which do you think is creepier? This scene …?

Or this scene?

It’s just a rhetorical question, of course.

PS: Did you know that someone on Twitter claims to be (and I quote): “Uterus whisperer. Life fixer. Love gardener. $1.50 matchmaker. Author of important stuff. A doctor, but not when Tweeting. Because this is my personal account.” Yes, really! Just click the link and see for yourself. Yikes! Wow!

PPS: BTW, Paul, I’m so glad it was really you.

Young Paul!

Me and Paul at THE Brentwood Library!

And I so totally meant it when I said that I’d rather visit you than go to California. That’s saying a whole lot. Just ask my long-suffering husband, who’s been promising we’ll move there forever many years.

PPPS: Should I even be posting this? Hmm …!

UPDATE: Here’s a real thing that deserves to be posted, which I found through my freelancer’s email list. And here’s a resource for educators, because you know how awesome I think teachers are.

And, BTW, Scott, I’m really glad you liked my photos. I didn’t realize how hot you were for Nathan. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Right, Jerry Seinfeld?

So … here are some more links, that demonstrate my horrible point, which I’ll post without comment. Just click on the links and you’ll understand. I hope.

Terps attorney invokes the Twitter defense.

NBC.com hacked with citadel trojan.

60% of audiobooks are digital now.

Guess which buzzfeed piece is an ad.

Wait … wrong direction. Forward, into the past!

Barbara Seranella RIP

I only wish, Freckles Cassie. :-/ But I have to pay the light bill.

I see you’ve moved on to college. Awesome! You are real, aren’t you? :-/

I called Paul this morning, just to see if I could reach London. I managed to get through. It was so great to hear your voice, Paul. Well worth the 34 cents on my phone bill.

Well, I’ve got work to do … so I think you’re ready for these!

Six big myths about lawyers.

The first secret of success is showing up.

So … planning Operation Doofus and pulling it off are two different things, aren’t they? Especially when you’re falling to pieces secretly and people assume you’re lying, exaggerating, crazy, or being funny.

And Firesign Theatre VW Ad Battleship

Alan Alda was right.

Epiphanies should be small.

Yeah … can you pick the real zombie? Ha ha ha …

I’m sorry. Was I rambling? Feel free to just ignore the goofy blonde.

All hail Marx and Lennon!

UPDATE 2: Well … in between trying to maintain a slim grasp on reality and read this damn book for review and just live a normal life of some sort, I decided to do a little online research on Scott Clevenger. Here are the results … on Twitpic, on Instagram and on LinkedIn. Hmm …!

Scott Clevenger on LinkedIn

Scott Clevenger on Instagram

Would the real Scott Clevenger please stand up? Ha!

Finally, a weirdly appropriate quotation and tune from Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar.

“A comedian is not a person who opens a funny door — he’s the person who opens a door funny.”
– Chuck Jones

PS: To everyone barraging me with invites to GoodReads and connections on LinkedIn, please …

UPDATE 3: Thank you, Paul, for sharing this BBC article on Twitter.

Oh, the irony!

PS: I don’t think anyone was prepared for this. Thank you, Sarah Weinman, for RTing it!

UPDATE 4: What’s up Doc? Really!
