Never in my life have I been so excited about receiving work-related freebies:

   

That’s right, I’m going to the grand opening of Club Paris on Friday. Seriously, wouldn’t you, especially knowing there’s a chance that crazy heiress will be there? And who could resist a “decadent VIP section” that has a “cozy boudoir area perfect for intimate encounters”?

Today, the metro editor sent me an instant message asking my opinion on a potential interviewee, someone I lived/worked with on Cape Cod. I — in full freak-out mode — ran across the newsroom to give said opinion. Never have I run so fast while wearing linen pants.

And then I realized I couldn’t possible go to work a mustache, so I killed it. I killed it good. But first I visited Nascar.com to make the experience authentic.

Hurricane season started the first of the month. It’s my first one, and I’m pumped. And apparently the deity of your choice is so mad at me (or America, or gay people, etc., depending on which crazy person is on FoxNews today) that he is throwing a storm directly at Jacksonville already!
