Is this Bronx Terrier the new Benji?

This weekend our beloved Stan will be filming a little something for Comedy Central. Surely he will then move on to bigger rolls leading to great fame and fortune. At least, he better, what with the $600 vet bill he racked up yesterday at a routine checkup.

Basically, if he doesn't soon become America's sweetheart we're going to need to go to Congress and beg a pooch bail-out or put a stamp on his fuzzy ass and send him to Obama's daughters. "Hey, here's your new puppy -- wait, why are you crying? "

Today I did a guest post on Word Wenches about being a romance author's daughter. Check it out, why doncha?

Now you see me.

Now you don't.

I've got to finish some writing projects. Back soon.

I like the above image I snapped this weekend because it leads one to believe my life is terribly calm, folksy and meditative. So go ahead and believe that, whydoncha?

Anywho, tomorrow -- Thursday -- I'm a guest on DeVore and Diana, Maxim Radio, Sirius channel 108 @ 9pm e/p. So catch that if you can.

And if you miss me here, it's a snap to find me blogging over here.

Oh and next week I'll be doing a guest post over here at Word Wenches about what it's like to be a Romance author's daughter. That will be more fun than a barrel of fun things, won't it?

Speaking of it, that's about it.

Nighty night.

Not on TV Tonight

Going back to old rule of never telling anyone when I'm on TV. Between schedule changes and cuts, it's too traumatic.

See me This Thursday @ 9P e/p on truTV



I write the ads, I'm on the show, is there anything I can't do?*

In the meantime, check out my stupidity on dumbasablog.com

*Play the tuba. I am afraid I can not.

Another Day, Another Friend Who Is an Author

Add my old college friend Lara to the growing list of amazingly talented friends and family who are published. Her blog, "Cooking Up a Storm" lead to a book deal and the title is coming out very soon. She and her co-author even got a fabulous write up in the Daily Mail. Lara and her husband (another fab friend) are both Americans who now live outside London. Spending time with their family was a huge highlight of our last trip.

So buy the book Fresh Eggs Don't Float! There it is! Buy buy buy! One for each eye!

Me on TeeVee



I'm on a new episode of "Not Just Another Cable News Show" this weekend and they are replaying it a LOT.

The episode airs this Saturday and Sunday at 7 PM, 9 PM, Midnight and 5 AM. Here's a clip from the last "NJACNS" I was on if you're interested.

Note: It airs on CNN Headline News (CNNHNN) which is different than plain CNN

UPDATE/CORRECTION:
Thursday 10/30 (not tomorrow) I'm psyched to be premiering as a comedy talking head on: "The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest" which airs @ 9P e/p on truTV (formerly Court TV).

Then many Thursday's at that time you'll see me on more premiere episodes, and I'll keep you, dear TV viewers, apprised.

Benji & Jake's: The world's most awesome pizza joint.



And that there is their lakefront vista. Wow, right?

Click here for the scene I spied directly opposite this sunset, an incredibly satisfied customer scarfing a slice with a tofu crunchie chaser.

Appeared on a radio show yesterday. Was tons of fun. Here's a snap in sepia as proof. For more 411, check into this dumb blog next week.

Gotta run. Cue: Showering, walking dog, getting a bunch of stuff together for Salvation Army, heading to the cabin for 24 hours of nature.

Ta!

New Year, Same Old Me

Last week my pic was in the Daily News here as part of a story on "Heebsters" in New York City. I've been too busy to brag about this out of the blue event to anyone other than my family and 400+ of my closest online friends.

Hooray, hurrah!

But really, it's amazing how much one does, and how little relation what you do has to the press you get. But still, it's press, and you just learn to take the sun when it shines on ya.

Speaking of more sun to come, Friday I think I'm doing a spot on an excellent morning radio program. Stay tuned for the 411.

And soon, very soon, a barrage of dates will fly at ya about two fabulous shows on the TV contraption that will feature me. Stay tuned!

Got to run. And by "run" I mean have a sip of wine, walk a ratty little dog named Stan and go to bed.

Happy New Year to all my mishpucha. Here's to a sweet, healthy and downright sexy 5769, why not? Ya, Sexy New Year to you.

My Day, Made

So I'm performing again, after a self and then life-imposed slow down. But now I'm back on TV, soon to be on two shows on different nets and there's a small possibility I might be doing some amazingly exciting comedy event on the road. Details to come, if they come.

However, I sometimes feel rusty. Work is awesome but I simply don't have the time to do those excellent but grimy unpaid shows you should do to keep oneself sharp.

Anywho, just as I was thinking I'm a rusty ol' sow, I found this by accident. It's an interview with Chris Hampton, amazingly talented creator and curator of the long-running, amazingly awesome (yet dearly departed) WYSIWYG talent show. Here's the part that made my ego sing:

BH: Now that WYSIWYG is entering its fourth year, I imagine you’ve seen a lot of talented people perform. Do you have any particular favorites?

CH: Hmm. Maybe Susie Felber’s story from a show about summer camp experiences. Her mother was one of those touchy-feely moms who think ALL children are special — so she innocently and cluelessly signed Susie up for a camp for “special” children. But it’s REALLY hard to pick just one!

Yes, this made me very happy. Thanks Chris, Google and even mom who, in the 70's, thought "special" meant "gifted."

My friend Bob has a new book out -- again! It's gotten stunning reviews. Here's a video featuring Bob himself, currently being shown on TV.

Isn't that awesome? Fer sure.

Buy a copy or five of Dinosaur vs. Bedtime right here.

My mother, the romance author, sent me a pic today, snapped by her own camera, in her own kitchen, with a message. Both below.

Subject: Not a holy face...

But this russet potato is meant for someone you love!

Wisht you wuz here.

Yes, it's a highly romantic tater! Carbo-loading meets carbo-loving.

Thanks for the mash note, mom. (bad pun very much intended)

I hope you all in Internet land share it with someone you love, too.

Very Hard At Work



No time for personal blogging, other than the above animation of awesomeness, of course.

Find me here. I'm the chick they call Susie who also looks like me because she is me.

She May Not Have Time for a Social Life Outside of Facebook, Life May Be Overly Dramatic But the Trains Are Sure As Heck Running On Time and That's Something Now, Isn't It?



Been hard at work doing fun stuff. That sounds vague, but more info once I'm on a roll and have clips to share.

You can see some of my work blogging here, I'm taping for that TV thingy mahoob again in September and also, if you're interested in my sprog, we're just wrapping up this little blog here.

I've a lot going on in my life but nothing I can talk about that isn't plain too personal for the WWW. So I guess I'll just get sharey with my dog. He's cool with it.
