My April Fool's stories go up on the website tomorrow.

I have just been appointed to fabricate a number of stories for the April 1st issue of the paper. According to the editor, he "just got a feeling" that I would be good for this.

"Just got a feeling" that I am a good bullshitter, perhaps? Ugh! My reputation preceeds me, I guess. Still, the opportunity to write anything is cooler than cool. (Ice cold.)

So, let's make it interactive. Leave your fake story ideas in the comments box. YO!

I don't know exactly what's in store, but seeing all the hard work our promotions guy has put into this, I have to believe that this is going to be pretty cool:

So, you are cordially invited. Not only do you get to see the Watson's girl, but you get to see me unwind after an absolutely hellacious week of very rewarding hard work.

Even when coming into the office voluntarily to work on my day off do I feel the need to putz around on the internet before getting around to doing actual work, thus my presence here.

I don't really have the statistics in front of me concerning how many of you are left reading this thing. I would assume that closing it up drove you all away. So since I can't say with any certainty who you are, forgive me if I'm repeating any information that I may have drunkenly babbled at you already.

Things at the job are going swimmingly. First of all, newspapers are a great business to be in, as far as advertising sales are concerned. And I think you know you're doing your collective job right when wackos try to shut you up.

Personally, it is a challenging thing. I am very busy, and, according to a quick glance at the publishing calendar on the wall of my cube, will be until May 13th. But, as I am fond of saying, it's kind of nice to be busy with something that you care about.

And I'm a day away from turning 24. I'm not sure I have anything really insightful to say. Probably anything I could come up with would sound insipid, so let's just say that for the first time in a while, at least, it feel like getting older and getting more independent are happening simultaneously. And, as I'm also fond of saying, that's pretty cool.
