I LOVE this country SO VERY MUCH. Have I said that, lately? Here's the latest, again from the LA Weekly:
Meanwhile, an email seen by L.A. Weekly suggests that Barrus is already attempting to parlay his newfound notoriety into a tell-all memoir. In an ironic twist, he calls the new work a novel.

I am Nasdijj. I am the author of several critically claimed books and I am a PEN Book-of-the-Year award-winner. My work has appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, and I have been nominated for a National Magazine Award. My books have been published by Random House/ Ballantine/ Crown. WWNorton. Houghton Mifflin.
You MUST click on that link! You must do it RIGHT NOW!!! I have to go now and continue rolling on the floor in hysterics.
Meanwhile, over the weekend I talked to Mom and Dad last night about my Strategy. But one was watching "Law & Order" and the other was half asleep, so I think that's why they didn't quite grasp the GENIUS of my Plan. Hmm, you know maybe I'll turn that into a blog entry. Past Tuesday, I'm out of freshness...
