Two Things, One of Which Involves the Today Show

1. Earlier today, I confused The Backstreet Boys with N Sync. Thanks to the reader who pointed this out. I would be embarrassed, but of course there is no better badge of honor than an inability to distinguish boy bands.

2. Also earlier today, I recorded a segment for NBC's Today Show, which is (tragically) not about An Abundance of Katherines, but instead about relationships. (I was part of a panel of men.) I can just hear my ex-gilfriends saying, "Getting relationship advice from John Green is like getting chastity advice from Madonna," but whatever. You can make that joke when YOU'RE on the Today Show, ex-girlfriends.

Anyway, I will blog about the entire experience (hints: The reporter was nice; I was sitting next to the very funny Sherrod Small from VH1's Best Week Ever; and also I spilled water on myself right before they started filming) next week, and I will constantly remind you to get up early and watch me do my goofy laugh everytime someone says something funny.

It's the weekend here in Melbourne , Oz and I always miss John's comments on Saturday and Sunday.However my blue clawed yabbie is still in her fishtank next to my computer monitor and is still trying to find her way out of it. It is her own personal labyrinth so I have named her "Alaska". Yabbies are like lobsters but they are only about 5 inches long and irrisdescent blue and are very pretty just like the Alaska in the book.

I almost bought a book called "Looking for Alaska" yesterday, but couldn't justify the outrageous cover price. I will probably try a online retailer, just so I can destroy all brick and mortar business. Sorry if that somehow affects the author's income.
