Oh. Friends have apprised me that ClearChannel only owns a few of the stations that Stern is on. Infinity owns more than 100. So he'll still be on those...for now.

Here's the link to my mainpage, with info about my novels.

ClearChannel Communications has dropped Howard Stern after being fined $495,000 by the FCC. This is a pretty big deal...I guess since this happened less than 24 hours ago, no one is reporting as of this moment what it actually means -- is he off all the radio stations he was on? Are they all owned by ClearChannel? Will he be on K-Rock Monday morning? It'll be interesting to see.

I finished reading the book. Someone told me there was a twist ending so I had to read the whole thing at once.

Woke up, put on clothes. Now I will read a book.

Woke up, put on clothes.

Woke up, got dressed.

Woke up, got dressed.

Woke up, got dressed.

Two men in the last two weeks have guiltily confessed to me that they like the new Britney Spears song ("Toxic"). Hey, it's a neat song.

Yesterday I went to the Happy Ending reading series to hear Kyle Smith ("Love Monkey") and two other readers. Smith's book excerpt was very funny. The big surprise was a great band that kicked it off, The M Word, which has a drummer who plays a garbage can and cymbals with energy that no mere mortal should possess. I was very impressed. And they did all early-'80s songs, which was great.

Thanks for all the "mazel tov" e-mails. And someone suggested "She's having my baby" as the wedding song.

In all seriousness, I did get this e-mail with the subject head "From Paris.":

"Hi,
I just find your blog... I like this recurring thing
Woke up, put clothes on, went to work
+ are your book already translated into french ?
Thierry"

Woke up, went to work, put on clothes.

Just got back from an all-night toga party so hard to blog today.

Can you believe it's supposed to snow 10 inches later?

I have to go set my radio for Bush's speech at noon...sources say it might be a resignation. If Cheney goes, too, who becomes president? I can't remember from history class.

I'm working on a novel about a bunch of codes hidden in the works of Eminem. His initials are supposed to conjure Mary Magdalene, and if you look at the tattoos on his arm, you see three of the Apostles. Also, every fourth letter in his lyrics spells out "Is there no hope for the cokehead's son."

Please do me a favor and add yourself to my enemies list at www.EnemySter.com.

The Anonymous Blogger and I are getting married tonight.

Happy April Phule's Day to one and all.

Woke up, got dressed.

A friend turned me on to this blog by a writer. I like it.

I just inputted more than a years' worth of phone numbers and e-mail addresses on scraps of paper that I kept not having time to input. Now I won't have to keep asking people for their address all the time. Hopefully I won't get this behind again. But no promises.

Woke up, got dressed.

"I get a lot of really nice comments about that show. I guess there were a lot more people watching TV back then, and there were only three networks, and we were all 14 or 15 and doing nothing but watching TV and staring at girls. It was a good time to be on TV." -- Jason Bateman, interviewed in the Onion, regarding "It's Your Move."

Well, I was about 12 at the time, but it was still a great show...

Before, a woman told me that the Lincoln Tunnel was dark during the blackout. She went through the tunnel on a bus going home from work in NY. I said, "You'd think they'd have had emergency lights." She said, "You'd think."

Woke up, got dressed. I have an old diary from when I was about 7 in which, on one page, I wrote, "Nothing happened today." That about says it.
