Unbirthday

So tomorrow is my birthday, but let's not make a big deal out of it, okay? Because I am going to be 38. And that is just wrong. I'm sorry to any 38 year olds out there that I might be offending with this. But to me, 38 seems old. 37 isn't old. 37 is […]

BECAUSE NO ONE CAN GET ENOUGH ADVICE

Well, I made it back home after my long, looooong book tour. I am still coughing—hacking up a lung is more like it—and I seriously have like 40 hours of TV shows to catch up with on my TiVo, not to mention about four feet of mail to get through. Not that TiVo is more […]

Every Boy’s Got One Tour Days 13-17

Well, my airplane cold turned into full-fledged flu, and I can't say I'm feeling all that great these days. It turns out they weren't kidding when they urged us all to get flu vaccines this year. This thing is serious stuff. And I should know. It's been kicking my ass all week. On the bright […]

Every Boy’s Got One Days 9-12

So I knew it was going to happen. It always does. I mean, ALWAYS. I tried everything I could to stop it. I washed my hands so much, my knuckles got chapped. I downed Airborne and Emergen-C every night. I went to bed early, instead of staying out drinking with all the old college buds […]

Every Boy’s Got One Tour Days 6-8

Dear Paris, Hi. You don't know me, but I've been staying in a lot of your hotels lately—well, I guess they're your dad's hotels. Or your grandpa's. I must admit, I'm not that familiar with the Hilton family tree. In any case, I just thought I'd write and say good job with the hotel thing. […]

Every Boy’s Got One Tour, Days 3-4

Dear Betty, the Lady Who Patted Me Down in the Security Line at Memphis International Airport: Hi, Betty! Remember me? I'm the passenger who asked, hopefully, “What does it mean when they punch a star into my boarding pass? That I'm going to get STAR treatment all the way to Louisville?” And your boss replied, […]

Every Boy’s Got One Book Tour, Day 1-2

Dear Delta Airlines, I was cool with it when the plane I was supposed to take to Atlanta–and then on to Memphis two nights ago for my signing yesterday–broke down, and you left us sitting on the tarmac in Key West for an hour before telling us to get off so you could fix it. […]

Things I’ve Been Obsessing About Lately

1) Geoff Ritchie. Who is Geoff Ritchie, you ask? Don't tell me you haven't heard of him! He's the guy with the huge portwine birthmark who they featured on three, count them, THREE episodes of “Extreme Surgery,” one of my favorite shows, since of course, I WANTED to be a doctor (okay, a vet) but […]

Meg Reviews Smallpox, the Made-for-TV Disaster Movie

Psych! I didn't really watch Smallpox, so I won't be reviewing it here. I STARTED to watch it, but it was all scary and good, and I got freaked out and had to turn on Extreme Home Makeover instead. Made-for-TV disaster movies are only good when they're bad. Do you know what I mean? If […]
