No. But that would be super fantastic.
The New York Times has not requested an interview with me. Oh but they will. Yes they will, you just wait and see. But I have in fact been interviewed by Ryan who actually lives in New York. And I’m quite sure she reads the New York Times. So that’s as close as I’m going to get for now.
The interview is a fascinating read and was incredibly fun to do thanks to Ryan. Why was I interviewed? Oh that’s not important. But I’m sure you’ll be utterly captivated as I discuss my true love of analytical chemistry, hip-hop dancing, and how my cat Kiwi only eats nectarines ever since she was hit over the head with a rubber chicken last year on Christmas day.
So please, fly on over to Ryan at her fantastic blog, For the Birds. Then head back here (please don’t get sidetracked and feed your pet snake, clean out your fireplace or gargle) and tell me if you think The New York Times might want to rethink their practice of only interviewing people who actually do something.

Read the interview, then took a few minutes to clean out my pet snake and gargle in my fireplace, and now I'm here again to say it was a great interview. Very funny. And thanks for the hint: I now realise why I have only eaten nectarines since last Christmas. That rubber chicken attacker sure got around.
Fran – Make sure your pet snake gargles as well. It's the secret to keeping a happy healthy snake….
well, you officially don't like me. because i officially don't like cats. but that picture of that kitten WAS pretty convincing.
ah, well.

How can you not like a cat? They are cute, fluffy, sleep ALL day long, don't need to be walked, purr in your ear at night when you are sound asleep.
My cat has a bit of a drinking problem though. She's hooked on champagne cocktails which costs me a fortune.
I guess owning a cat does have a down side.
I love cats. If I'm lucky enough, in my next life I'll be a pampered house cat that drinks champagne.
Great interview…congratulations! You're "on the rise"!
Visiting from MBC.!
p.s. You made me smile
Even the word verification entry is a bit humorous "gousnop".
Thanks for stopping by S S!
I agree with you, coming back as a pampered house cat is way better than a tiny ant or one of those monkeys that play the accordion on the street.
Yer getting famouser and famouser. I'm into organic food too, and butter chicken is one of my faves. You say you're sarcastic, but sarcasm often has a mean edge to it. You're never mean, but always funny.
I look forward to checking out her blog and yours as well! Thanks so much for stopping by mine! I just responded to your comment, but realized I haven't yet added the plug-in for you to automatically get the reply. Hey, New York Times, you never know! lol
Looking forward to blogging with you!

working on that New York Times thing… wonder why they won't call me back…
Hahaha….ur too funny!:)
LOL I LOVE your connection to the NY times! Too funny. You have to start somehwere, right? Oh, and I didn't get sidetracked by a snake. We don't have one. But the turtle, fish and cats totally got me!
Hi Sweetie! Oh I have missed you! Have been out of sorts for a bit-broken laptop-and of so many annoying people pulling my covers.
I would love to share my hideous SF anniversery dinner story with you sometime. You will laugh- you will cry, you will probably get sick. Laurel's night in Laurel Heights was …well horrifying.
I am so glad I had a chance to catch up on your last few posts.
You are a BRILLIANT girl and no doubt an interview with the Times is just around the bend. Love to you Amanda-thanks for the giggles.
Oh yes Mark, famous I is. Waiting for Cat Fancy to show up and interview me.
Glad to know you don't think I'm mean. I'd hate to be labeled as that mean blogger who the NY Times thinks sucks.
Thanks Theta Mom, glad you dropped by!
And thanks to you too Nic…
I don't believe you're trying HARD enough Ryan.
Have you tried disguising your voice?
Hey there,
Just found and followed you from MBC. I'll admit I'm not a cat lover but your sense of humor won me over anyway!! Off to read some more of your posts – family has been sick all week so I could use some good sarcasm to perk me up!
I think the New York Times should definitely interview you!! I am so jealous you live in CA! Why would ever want to move?? And if you do move it Italy I will be even more jealous! How fun and very interesting!
Thanks for stopping by Vic!
And Stacey – No snake? I suggest you run out and buy one right now. Then you can tell me all about it, because there is no way I would ever get one…
Thanks Laurel! Oh my, sick in Laurel Heights? I think I read about that on your blog. Food poisoning was it? You must tell which restaurant so I can AVOID it.
Julia – What is it with people around here not liking cats? Tell me your address so I can mail you one of mine. She ONLY throws up twice a day…
Well Brianne I'm trying to convince my lame husband to move but he's got this thing called a job. He's such a stick in the mud.
Why do you insist on making me work more than I already do?! I came here to read your shit and now you tell me I have to go somewhere else!?
I'm only going to go cuz I like you but dont. push. it!
Oh Sophia's Mom, you know I only do it because I know it annoys the crap out of you!
First, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and following! Following right back:)
Loved your very witty interview! Great way to "meet" you!
No NY Times? Darn, and I was all set to be really jealous.
I have to tell you I got so sidetracked I didn't even read the article first…went straight to the comments. Congrats on the interview.
I'll read it sometime, I promise…after the cat box is changed, the kids are fed and I regain my sanity.
Great interview! There are several things that made me LOL, some made me cry (ok, I made that up), that I needed to comment on. But on my way back from For the Birds I got distracted by my pet snake. Congratulations for the NY Resident interview. Oh yeah, I do remember the last line: Too busy blogging to save the world. Classic.
Ah, here is my question if you ever let me interview one day: Why do you have a picture of red sweaty butts on your post?
Thanks ModernMom, glad you stopped by!
Oh ZenMom, someday you WILL be jealous, I promise. It may take 20 years but you will…
AA – I wish you had cried. Next time, please tell me you did even if you didn't.
And do you have a problem with red sweaty butts? I find them absolutely delightful.
Hi! I'm stalker, er, VISITING you from the mom bloggers club.
Um, I used to live in NYC and did, on occasion, read the NYT. I also eat big apples. Does any of this count for anything?
Hey Launatic! Oh my gosh, I LOVE stalkers!
I'll email you my address so you can stalk me outside of my house…
Well I liked the interview, I'm not sure The Times will be after you…hey I'm just the messenger.. don't shoot.
We have a few similarities I noticed.
