today's update, from command central (i.e., my bedroom)

Today I have been at home conducting press interviews in my pajamas (the Virginian Pilot and the Penn State Collegian), cooking split pea soup, and sending out contracts for a test-prep book I'm editing. Here's some new stuff:
  • Tour information for Norfolk has been updated here.

  • I posted to my own comments here, and my mother posted here.

  • Someone invited me to join a MySpace group called "We HATE cut dudes." It's full of a bunch of gay guys. Um, thanks!

  • I sent some fun girly items to female soldiers in Iraq because Bust magazine told me to, and one of them wrote back! More on this later.

All press interviews should be conducted in my pyjamas. I think it should be the law. I'm sure it would make chat shows much more entertaining.

The word pyjama or pajama is borrowed from Hindi, which took it from the Persian for 'leg' and 'garment'. I've also heard that the phrase "the cat's pyjamas" is used to describe something that is strictly a luxury.

Wait! Fun girly items? I'm going to have to come back later to find out more.

Assuming that all press interviews would be conducted in your pyjamas, hoverfrog, I admit that I am having difficulty with the logistics. I mean, let's say that for whatever reason that I can't now think of (but work with me here), I am being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo.

Fine.

Now, it's been a while since I were a yute in my Doctor Denton's "footies", and I happen not to have worn pajamas since, but if memory serves, um, pajamas come in two pieces, right? Kind of as in most happy marriages, I would suppose, there is a top and there is a bottom. So what I'm wondering is, how, exactly, does this work? I get to look at Maria's tits while my dingus is flapping in the breeze? That sorta thing?

Yes, yes, I realize that you may have more pajamas than Hugh Hefner, and you may be willing to dole them out to the various media outlets the same way that I took some old coats to the police station earlier this winter. Still, there's the peripatetic Chuck Schumer to consider.

(Ah, hadn't thought of that, had you? Sorta puts the old turd in the punch bowl, doesn't it?)

Look, no offense, but this is never gonna work. It's great on paper, mind you, but we don't live on paper. So it's also completely impracticable.

I must admit that I wasn't considering the logistics of PJ properly. I was merely considering the amusement value of having all interviews undertaken in relatively comfortably attire.

It is only now that I realise that I don't own a pair of pyjamas. While this would undoubtedly make any interviews I were to conduct at least partially amusing I fear that I may be the object of the amusement rather than the cause.

I do have a trusty dressing gown. Perhaps this would suffice in a pinch.

No. Back to the drawing board then.
