Guess What? Dewey's Back!

I'm working on a bigger, promise-you'll-be-entertained entry for later today, but I wanted to tell you that Dewey is back and I always feel like I'm in a race with East Coast time when I'm announcing news so--

Dewey's Back!!

And while this fundraising/bookraising drive is going on, I'm going to try to update pamie.com every day. Not Twitter. Not Facebook. Right here. Like it's 1998. THESE ARE THE THINGS I DO FOR YOU. Because I love you. I do. We've known each other a long time, people. ...

lots of updates and cool stuff

I'm sorry I've been away for this past month, but I was writing. Just not here. I went out with a pitch and a spec pilot and a book proposal so there's lots of "me" that is currently "out there," which took time away from right here. Actually... just blame Twitter.

First, I need to remind the people of Athens, Georgia, that I'm fixin' to come round your parts (dirty!). Join me and the Classic City Rollergirls for a weekend of books, beer and bruises. September 17th, 7pm at Borders...

Sometimes My Cat Likes to Stand on My Neck.

Usually without warning. This time I had a feeling it was coming.

And then what happens when you find another girl's bra in your apartment.

[Setting: Twitter]

@pamelaribon -- I just pulled a bra out of my drawer and put it on, only to realize... this isn't mine. I don't shop at Victoria's Secret. (...is it yours?)

@Glark -- Stop crowdtesting your new novel Pamie.

@Mjfrig -- Yes, I have man-boobs, okay! Stop rubbing it in. #idontreally #onlyajokeiswear

@auriflamme -- It's mine, yo.

@matt_fuqua -- How embarrassing. I'll get it next time I see you.

@SaraMorrison -- What does it look like?

@pamelaribon -- @SaraMorrison...

What happens when you find another girl's bra in your apartment.

(there's some language, just in case you're at work.)

First this happened. And then this:

Where I had been and what I will have had happen.

Let's see. I went to Bellingham and that was fun. I got to meet superfan Teecer, who was extremely sweet and had all my books, and superhero Jen, who was awesome (Thanks for the review, Jen!). Lots of people came to the book signing, a homeless man won my box of Kleenex, and someone in the audience asked if I ever thought about being a performer, which made my friend from college sitting in the back laugh his ass off.

Last weekend I went back to the east coast to visit friends and family...

UNICORN!

I see that the link I put in the Korean Spa entry to Unicorn didn't work. Forgive me, I wrote that on a plane that had complimentary wifi (thanks, Alaskan Air!), and completely forgot to go back and check the link until just now.

Here's Unicorn. I can't even click it without missing Bangkok times a billion.

Live Chat with the Readers of Tomato Nation for Going in Circles

I Saw a Lot of Ladyparts and Now I'm Soft.

So Tara was coming to town and mentioned she'd like to get a massage. I'd recently spoken to two different friends who had just come back from a place called Olympic Spa, and they both said to me, "I go whenever I can." One of them lives in Hawaii. If you wake up in Maui every day and there's a place in Los Angeles you dream about? It's got to be pretty good.

Going to Olympic Spa would hit on several things I enjoy at once.

1. Koreatown.
2. Massages and scrubs.
3. More stories about being...
