Those who have Facebook are probably sick of me writing about this, and I promise I won't post this more than once a week, but for those who may be interested: [image: Support independent publishing: Buy this book on Lulu.></a></p> <p>I gave myself a summer project and am self-publishing a book. At more than 90,000 words and more than 200 pages,]<http://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=7486361> "Proud Peacocks And Other Endangered Species (A Lazy-Eyed Look At Television) <http://stores.lulu.com/marousek>" is a collection of my writing about the world of television, some of it about my days working in the industry, and a lot of it more recently written as my contribution to this website and message board. [image: cover] Some of the hard-hitting questions I've tackled include: - Can a person still give a studio tour ten years after being an NBC Page? - Will watching an entire week of Fox News cause the human brain to implode? - Is Oprah Winfrey crazy as a soup sandwich? - Why is Jimmy Fallon hosting a comedy show when he isn't funny? - Why do people watch "24"? - Why do people pay for cable when they can watch Hulu instead? - Will Shannen Doherty ever agree to a date with me? - What is the point of industry conventions and conferences? - Why David Hasselhoff? I attempt to answer all of those questions. Plus, I slap readers upside the head with a ton of commentary about the media (because a ton of bricks costs money). While I do attempt to make people think, mostly I'm just out to make people laugh. Being slightly insane, I don't expect you to agree with every point I make -- I'd be worried for you if you did. But I try to take some measure of pride in being able to convey thoughts and ideas in a unique and entertaining way. If you agree, or if you just want to help me pay a utility bill, I ask that you follow the link below and order a copy of the book from Lulu (or order two and give one to a friend, or order three and give one to a friend and one to someone you don't like very much). It is a handsome looking paperback with a freakish cover of my own design. Neatly bound, it can be kept in a bathroom for easy reference, or in an outhouse where the pages can be torn out, wrinkled/softened and put to good use (some might choose to keep it on a book shelf... whatever). At $19.99, it's a steal at twice the price (you can even order a digital download for only $9.99). So please buy my unnecessarily long titled book. You'll be helping me out, and getting something in return. And thanks for being my friend.
