Write If You Want Jerk
This below is, unfortunately, relevant today. But I've learned, when a person or a day shits on my head, to take steps to deal with it the best I can -- take the best possible shot to solve things -- and then I can at least feel good about my behavior.

Which I currently do. Whatever happens. As per this Pin on my Pinterest page, mostly of funny quotes from the book.

It also helps that my boyfriend is very supportive. When the chips are down, he's right there with a new bag of chips. (Though not literally because he knows I'll kill him if he eats a starchy carb -- lest they kill him eventually.)

Oh, and because no blog post the week before my book gets published is complete without a "Please buy my book!" link to "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck":

The book is discounted from the $14.99 retail price to only $9.48 at Amazon and $9.67 at Barnes & Noble.

Come to my book launch party June 3! If you live close to LA, it would be so wonderful to meet some of you, especially longtime blog commenters. There's a book launch party/reading at Diesel Books in Brentwood, at the Brentwood County Mart, on Tuesday, June 3, at from 6:30 to 8 p.m. (revised time!)

Come a little early! Wine and snacks will be served (thank you, Gregg!).

Please invite people!

Diesel Books, Brentwood Country Mart, 225 26th Street, Suite #33, Santa Monica CA 90402, (310) 576-9960

Also, if you live out of town and want to order a book signed by me, call Diesel by Tuesday afternoon (make sure it's the Brentwood one above), buy a book -- or a stack! -- and leave them the message about what you want me to sign.

Some people like the message I signed for my friend Jill, Mickey Kaus, and a few others last book around: "I'll never forget your huge penis." I'm fine with that. Also, if you want "medium-sized penis," perhaps out of modesty, I'm happy to oblige.
