Apparently, Unzipped Monthly is interested in interviewing Todd Gregory. I got an e-mail yesterday from the publicity department of Kensington, and apparently, they are all about Every Frat Boy Wants It. This, of course, is quite pleasing to me--let's face it, the glossy national gay porn magazines have a bigger circulation than their 'newsy' counterparts; and some of their readers might actually read the articles. (When I worked for that Unnamed Publisher, I always encouraged my authors--or tried to, anyway--to suck up to the porn mags, and insisted to the Marketing department that ads in those magazines were most likely more effective than in other, more 'mainstreamy' type gay mags; not, of course, that anyone ever listened to me. After all, what do I know?)

I'd intended to work on the Kansas book yesterday, but didn't. I know, I know, bad Greg, bad Greg. What can I say? I slept in, got up, went to the gym and Melanoma Center, ran some errands, came home, cleaned for a while, and started reading Graham Green--and then got sucked into a whirling vortex of incredibly bad television. When Paul got home from playing tennis, we then watched Anne of the Thousand Days, starring Richard Burton and Genevieve Bujold. After the movie was over, I found myself having to explain to Paul the whole 'six wives of Henry VIII' thing--and the lineage of the current Queen. As I was 'splainin' all this to Paul last night, I thought, hmmm, this would be an interesting and informative LJ entry; thank your lucky stars that I am not in the mood to go all Tudor on your asses today.

I also have to work today; no big deal, of course, but man! I wish I could stay home. In fact, I wish I was independently wealthy--in which case I would never leave the house again. My grooming has kind of slid lately; I need to reshave my head and I need to shave my face. I had planned on doing all of that this morning, but I find myself lethargic and overly lazy. Big shock there, correct?

I also paid the bills and balanced my checkbook yesterday; which was a HUGE mess. It's straightened out now, but lord. It is amazing how many times I deducted the same thing from my balance twice. Granted, that's better than forgetting to deduct things, but still, it took quite a while to straighten out that mess, and dealing with finances always puts me into a foul mood. I'm not sure why that is.

Okay, I need to get cleaned up and start my day.

Edit Oh! I have been meaning to share this for a while....A&U magazine is doing a story on Saints and Sinners; one of the photos they are using is of yours truly, posing with none other than timothyjlambert and (GASP) markgharris.

Are you ready for your close-up, Mr. Harris?
