WRITETV.ORG, KACEY IN TUSCALOOSA, FATHER’S DAY SALE, Irritating Blonde with Piece of a Dog AGAIN
Posted June 3rd, 2009 by Jill Conner BrowneEVERY morning now, I am subjected to the sight of the Irritating Blonde Perkette in the Short Shorts with her Little Piece of a Dog–and yesterday, they were BACK in the AFTERNOON as well. I’m either moving my office to the (still unfinished) Divorce Porch on the BACK of the house–or I’m getting a BB GUN!
There’s a great interview by Teresa Miller at Oklahoma State University at www.writetv.org The interview just happens to be with me–but the main thing is you get to see a REALLY GOOD INTERVIEWER in action! And this month’s blog on that site is devoted to my newest book–AMERICAN THIGHS. How much do we love OSU?!
KACEY JONES will be in TUSCALOOSA this Friday night at Brown’s Corner–go see her–you will have BIG FUN and if you’re reeeally lucky, SPQ Wannabe Martha Jean Alford will be in the crowd–she has a way of showing up for anything fun in Alabama.
We are having a 20% off everything in the SPQ store for Father’s Day–but it won’t start til later today–The Cutest Boy in the World is working on it now–so wait to place your order til you see the SALE banner on the front page of the store. You can buy stuff for your Daddy, of course, like a signed copy of THE DUMMY LINE by Bobby Cole–and, if you REEEALLY wanna make him happy, you can ALSO buy stuff for YOURSELF–because YOU KNOW that’s what makes a Daddy the happiest–seeing his Baby Girl happy! So, even if you don’t need anything for yourself–DO IT FOR YOUR DADDY–think of all he’s done for you!
All you TWITTER-ERS–I will commence twitting (yes, I know y’all call it tweeting) as soon as The Evil Henchman can figure out how to explain it to me in PLAIN ENGLISH instead of constantly deluging my e-mail with a bunch of crap written in COMPUTERESE which HE KNOWS is like dogs barking to me.
Maybe instead of a BB gun, I’ll just hit the Blonde Perkette with The Ugly Shoes every time she sashays through MY cul-de-sac! Use her for target practice and The Ugly Shoes for Ammo!

OMG !! the shoe flinging thing is just too damn funny. Maybe you should get a old fashioned sling shot~~~~I used to love those things.
And I, like you, cannot for the life of me figger out the “twitting” thing. I even begged for help from KimmyD and she did a FINE job trying to ‘splain it to me………….but I’m a fucking IGMO and have NO clue !!! I get really frustrated when I can’t figure out how to do something.

Despite being a child of the internet age, I refuse refuse refuse to give in to twitter. I got facebook and that’s a time consumin’ addiction enough as it is. But I was told by a friend who’s real big into twitter that if you can update your facebook status, you can easily do Twitter. That’s the easiest explination I heard. **shrugs**
Beyond that I can’t be of much help I guess since I don’t have one myownself.
As for the Miz Blondie, I say use the ugly shoes. Course if you toss ‘em you probably won’t get ‘em back which solves -both- of your problems.

I think I’ll tie a string around The Ugly Shoes–so I can just whack her with ‘em and then reel ‘em back in for another go!
KimmyD is NO HELP–she regularly twits with the EVIL HENCHMAN! They are in LEAGUE against me!

Well, I am just sick, I MEAN PUKING SICK that I am not going to be in Tuscaloosa on Friday NIGHT to see Kacey Jones.
BUT, I have told all of my friends(I lived there for 23 years) that I will personally kill each and every one of them if they don’t go.
p.s. they are cracking up– what am I gonna use a sling shot???

You can put a jar of jam in the toe of a sock and whomp ‘em up side the head pretty good, I reckon–they need to be skeered! Mostly, they need to go hear Kacey ’cause she’s soooo fabulous!

Since I can’t update my facebook status think I’ll just forget about twits or tweets before I ever get started. I used to want to learn sumpin new everyday BUT now I don’t.

Ellyn. We’re too GD old for all this shit. Twitter?? Is there a TWATTER??! I hope so– I think our best bet is to keep in touch by PHONE.
that old TIMEY THING!!

I KNOW–I LOVE to talk on the phone! And I can only text with ONE THUMB! ONE THUMB–do you KNOW how LONG it takes to type a message on a teenytiny little keyboard WITH ONE THUMB? GAAAAHHH!

Jill. My thumb is as big as my foot…. (almost).
I could not text a simple sentence in a day. period, that’s it?? that’s the list

Sorry, I have been so busy tweeting with The Evil One that I missed this entry until right now.
Jill Conner Browne, you know you can call me anytime for Twitter Instructions. It’s not HARD, for cryin out loud! Just tell us what you’re doin or what you’re thinkin or whatever you want– but just do it in 140 characters or less each time. Obviously, I am not OVER the Facebook thing yet, because I am still there, but I am completely ADDICTED to Twitter. It is SO flippin FUN! So get with it, already. You don’t HAVE to use your PHONE to Tweet– you can use all ten fingers and your home row keys, if you want to!
Just do it.
Love,
KimmyD
