Good Going, Random House

I was signing into my blog thing moments ago, intent on telling you all about the turkeys in my yard and my horrible tooth. But something has caught my eye. Something that, quite frankly, bewilders me. Here, look:

Silver Lining

Having your heart repeatdly broken, evidently, can be rewarding. Congratulations to our very own Breakup Babe. She just got a book deal with Random House based on her blog. The book will be called Breaking Up, Blogging On. Well done!

Yes, well done indeed, Breakup Babe. And well done, Random House, for carelessly dragging the wretched world of blogs into the world of printed books. Don't get me wrong. I am impressed and happy for this "Breakup Babe" and am proud of her for scamming Random House. For that is the only way I can imagine that they would want to actually make a book out of a blog. Especially a book with the psuedo-word "blogging" in the title.

It also makes me wonder who on earth, besides Breakup Babe's friends and family, Random House thinks will buy such a book. I mean, really and truly. That's just mind-boggling to me.

It also makes me wonder when our OMGJ Blogs will get published. Because our sporadically updated bullshit has to be at least nine thousand times more readable, on an enjoyable level, than a diary of some girl who got dumped. Right? RIGHT?? Am I right?!

Jesus.

Oh, and also I saw a lot of turkeys this morning. Wild turkeys. Like 40 of them. They made gobblegobble noises and looked like umbrellas that came to life. Also my tooth hurts when I use it to chew food. I fear a cavity or some other unaffordable dental situation is going to arise. But that shit's so meaningless now that I know some girl is getting her blog made into a book.

I can't believe it.
