Simon and Schuster emailed the book cover to us today. My father's expression... it's hilarious. In a good way. Happy stuff. Corny. I'll laugh in every bookstore I see it.

I'd post the cover, but maybe it isn't my place to leak that sort of thing. I'm sure it will show up on Amazon's pre-order page sometime soon.

Garden State opened in Norwalk today. I saw it again. It's just that incredible. It makes me want to do something creative. Write. I think I write more in here about writing than I actually write nowadays... if that makes sense to you.

Also, I am drained. All of the time. I'm scheduling a blood test actually. Some sort of deficiency maybe? Lord knows I eat healthier than anyone I know. I take my vitamins. Am in relatively good shape. Exercise... well I would get more if I had the energy.

Jeremy threw a balled up piece of paper at my head earlier and it came right at my eye and I watched it coming right at my eye, and then it hit me right above that eye. And then I asked... how come I didn't react at all? I saw it coming the whole way and yet didn't even attempt to move. No reaction time.

I am sluggish. Mellow. Cool as a cucumber and all of that.

But I don't want to be anymore. It's been something like a year like this. I mean, I had more energy at three hundred pounds than I do now at one-forty.

For some reason, I think I just wrote it off as a byproduct of boredom or something.

But now... even when I'm happily occupied... I'm still a snail.

So I'll be seeing a doctor later this week.
