What can I say, Google is everywhere and everything, ahead of the game even after the game has already started. A recent announcement by Google stated that by this summer they will be offering online books that can be bought and downloaded to any e-book device and any internet browser. Its called Google Editions, and people, this is HUGE. Not just for e-book readers, but for publishers like us, and readers like you. Even non-readers like you, because now you can buy the e-version of a book straight to your home computer or handheld device, giving you less excuses as to why you can’t read. Google is always coming out with ways to make even Mr. Midas Jobs shake. iPad, Kindle, Nook? See ya. Wouldn’t wanna be ya.
Wouldn’t exactly wanna be me either…I have a terrible cold and cough and it’s the beginning of May. Do I automatically assume allergies (of which I never had)? Or do I blame the F-train/my nephew who was sneezing on me/not wearing socks to sleep? You know it’s bad when you need NyQuil. Oh, NyQuil, your drug is my love (I <3 Kesha).
I’ve been holding out on my connections list. I saw Miranda from Sex and the City a few weeks ago and I didn’t even tell you. She was in the city. Predictable…I’m also pretty sure I was just with someone famous in the elevator. Rocker dude type. He was talking to other people in the elevator about writing a song for some album, and he’s going to playing with Sheila E. next week, who apparently once played with Prince. It is officially my goal for the remainder of my time at Beaufort to figure out who this guy is.
Speaking of my time at Beaufort, I have great news. I will be here for an extra month! Your favorite blogger just extended until mid-June. A big deal.
THIS JUST IN: I asked Margot who the guy is and she doesn’t know, BUT, lo and behold, there is a famous acupuncturist on my floor who apparently has A-list clientele. Margot said she’s seen an Olsen twin, and Elizabeth Berkely (Jesse from Saved by the Bell) in the elevator, and Charlie, another co-worked spoke to Sting for like a block! I will be lingering in the hallway from now on. This is bigger news than the Google Editions (times like, a thousand??).
I’ll be sure to remember you all when I become famous.
Or maybe only those who comment.
Yes, that’s a blogging threat.
