(Hey Browns – nice coaching hire. WTF?)
I know it’s just an intern/staffer, but the fact that Arnold follows me on Twitter is exciting.
They post news updates re: the activities of the Governor – lots of these are links to his press conferences.
As a fan, having new Arnold material is refreshing and seductive. I’m establishing the lines of communication, building up to asking this staffer if they think the Governor could still beat a choo-choo train in a fight.
If you’re not following me yet, go do so – today I’ve pledged to use some form of the word “tag” in every Tweet I make. (As of this writing the site is all tagged up – does this happen a lot? All day yesterday it was acting funny.)
Jim Rome had Kobe on his show yesterday, and they recalled a story wherein they saw each other at a bar on a Saturday night in the off-season, and Rome wanted to go get dinner. Kobe declined, because he was going to lift weights. He’d been sidetracked from his morning workout, and had to go get it in.
Off-Hours Weightlifting is also a thing that I can’t imagine LeBron doing ever, and when I knock him, this is why. Is it an unreasonable standard? I don’t know – I’ll bet Tiger and MJ did Off-Hours Weightlifting. I do Off-Hours Weightlifting. It is what it is.
Overall, this week has been exhausting. My eyes hurt, and not in a good way. In a bad way.
I’m going to try and keep off the internet altogether this weekend, but may pop in when my Twitter addiction calls to me. (The world is heading straight to Wall-E, isn’t it?)
Anyway, I’ll have definitely one, and maybe two more book excerpts up today. It’s tough, because I want to post certain things, but really want those things to unravel in the natural course of reading the book.
It’s written in a certain order and way for a reason, and obviously it’s not exactly a “this happens, and then this happens, and then this happens” narrative style. Because you’re following so many characters, you’re left to make certain connections for yourself, which is part of what makes it a fun read.
What I’m really looking forward to is when you guys who have bought it start sending me your thoughts. I think it’s the type of thing that should inspire tons of discussion and speculation and joke-making among fans of it.
