CNN Headlines tonite: New Immigration test reads like Jeopardy. They have a video clip. Son of a gun. It really does. I was a little bit heartened by the fact that most of the U.S. Citizens that they found on the street could answer most of the questions they were asked. I really was expecting it to sound like another Leno bit.
Elsewhere, Tom Poston died today. Too Bad. He'd have laughed 'til he cried at the story above. The man had genius comic timing.
Got a note from a publisher I had pitched my current book to. Said it was a "Satisfying Read" and an "Interesting concept". And that it just wasn't right for them.
Feel like I'm back in Junior High and Sylvia just read my note asking her to the sweetheart dance.

Immigrants have all the fun. They get here and Poof! they get to be on a game show.
Sorry about your book...that publisher is short sighted.
I wonder if the immigration video/test is in English? *rolls eyes*
Keep pitching that book. If it's the one you were telling me about last summer, I know just the right publisher will recognize and the rest of us will be able to say "I knew him when....." Maybe even fill in the blank with something completely ridiculous like "he rented a porno so DB & I could see what a quality porno really is.." Or something.
C-Mel, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what the video was. All I remember is some scene about a waiter....
