Enough for now.
I have been going over the 27 pages of my book contract and it is amazing the kind of things that are in it. They pretty much dictate how I have to live my life for the year after the book comes out. Everything from how the book will be marketed, how "I" will be marketed, the number of bookstore appearances I have to make, how I have to conduct myself, etc. They even put in there that I have to give them first dibs on the next two books that I have already written, which makes no sense because I can obviously turn down any offer they make.
So I have added a few items to the bottom line... I had this entire comedy thing all penciled out, but it just doesn't seem funny right now.
Anyway, can you think of any perks I should ask for? You be funny instead. Or not.

Wow... your friend has Robert Smith's underwear? I can't decide if that is cool or creepy. I guess the real question is: boxers or briefs? And the other question i have is: did your friend rip them directly off his body? because then if would become cool
