AHA! We have returned. And we even have comments fixed, because Verve Hosting rocks, and helped me even after I got really mad. BUT ANYWAY.
Okay. So I have to put together a big post of news of what happened today (or has been happening for three months), but while I work on it, I will give you a few clues.
A book! You have a book, with the cyrano/jacket guy, about reality tv - am I right? Did I win a cookie? I hope I am - it would be beyond awesome to see you in bookstore shelves.

[ link ]You dumped the jacket guy, goy help from the e-Cyrano guy with your personal ad, got matched up with Donald Trump ('cause Melania isn't that into him), and now the two of you are getting hitched and putting together your bridal wishlist on Amazon. Duh.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Hmmm.
Jacket-guy -is- e-Cyrano-guy, and you're not only still going out for all-night coffee and sushi dates (with your jacket on inside out; his, too) but now you're writing a book together.
And with all that going on, you wondered why you were waking up at 4 AM?
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]I'm completely mystified by those clues, but also really excited that Frolic and Detour is live again.
Hmm.
- Something happened today after three months of...something.
- It partially involves books, but mostly involves boys.
Aaargh. I have no idea -- except that if this development proves positive for you any way, then you sure had it coming.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Okay you are writing a book about internet dating. You and the inside-out guy are still together because he is not only cute and funny, but he is insulted by "He's just not that into you".
And you have been in recapping hell (3/week) for months.
Do I win anything if I'm right?
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]You are writing a book about internet dating and you have finally met Boyfriend Bill from the Apprentice.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]I have no doubts that, whatever the news, it will be well-written, and not a little bit snarky. (I do hope that it positively involves Jacket Guy; that story made me well up). Please post news soonest.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]I think: You're writing a book about internet dating - a topic you have experience about via jacket guy - which was a whirlwind romance, so no time for blogging, but in the end it turned out you just weren't that into each other.... and you have also been overwhelmed with recapping three shows at once this spring.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Not a bad guess based on the clues I provided, but I am not dating the Inside-Out Jacket Guy. You can consider that Clue #6.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]
You are writing a book for Amazon.com, and lying all about it (hence the e-Cyrano.. who is known for having a large nose.... hence the lying)
you are a lying romatic for all of the reality-TV lovers of the world, and you'd sell your ass to get it sold like Trumps hoochies last season.... 5 dollars without the autographed "boy-shorts"
In your book you expound on the events of your life that got you here, like the inside-out jacket guy... a move first perfected by "The Fresh Prince" of Bel-Air
and some book about dating that Triumph wouldn't even poop on.
yeah, I know I'm close.... because I'm old-school and know my stuff.... !!
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]So I had to take a guess...
Inside-out jacket guy told you all about the fun he had at e-cyrano, so you went and played around out there, met a guy who is a crew member on The Apprentice... he emailed Trump copies of your recaps and Trump personally called to invite you to be on the next Apprentice and you've got a 5-figure book deal to write about your experience.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]OK, all of my guesses are lame, so I'll keep them to myself. So glad your site is back up and running, and I can't wait to read your explanations of the clues.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]You and the inside out coat man, who you met on e-cyrano, have co-written a dating book that is the antithesis of "He's Just Not That Into You". It just so happens, that he is the producer of the site "The Apprentice Rules",and in a virtual tornado of self-promotion, tonight Donal Trump will make the PR plan for this book the task on The Apprentice. You, of course, will make a cameo appearance with Caroline and George.
Can't a girl dream?
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]That's actually by far the closest guess yet, I would say, despite the fact that I will not be appearing on any Trump productions any time soon. But the upshot, that is it.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Inside out jacket guy is Evan Marc Katz, the founder of e-cyrano, and you were writing profiles for them, not using them as a dating site. (Because, really, e-cyrano's claim to fame is writing a personal ad that makes you look compelling, and I REALLY can't imagine you needing help with that.) Or at least he's another counselor.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Does it have something to do with the fact that Tales from the Scale is about to come out? Not sure what that has to do with the jacket guy or the Apprentice, but I know the book is scheduled to release in May.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Nah, I have nothing to do with e-Cyrano. That's just for you to meet Evan. Or read this:
Why Evan Was Originally Known As Online Dating Expert Guy.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]You've been working with Evan to produce a book called "Y'know... (a collection of recap asides)", which also contains your beige soup recipe.
Ah, what the hell, I'll go for broke:
Carolyn has written the foreword, and George has agreed to mention it as often as possible on the upcoming 5-hour A3 season finale, during which America will vote for a contestant to 'win' an additional apprenticeship.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Well, darn. I was rooting for "got engaged to Jacket Guy while writing a snarky book about The Apprentice as a guide to life."
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Too bad you won't be on the Apprentice -- I would especially love to see side by side facial expression edits of you and Caroline whilst the Apprenti made some particularly ridiculous error in judgement.
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]I know you're really really busy (with all of those awesome recaps and more), but seriously, come back and tell us what's going on soon. The suspense is killing me!
at 05:02 PM on 04.01.05
[ link ]Sorry to double comment, but I came up with something:
You and inside-out-jacket-guy Evan (of e-Cyrano) are writing a book about Internet dating (the opposite of "He's Just Not that Into You," called "Skirting the Issue: Intellectual Horsepower." Or just half of that title. And it will also include a guide of how NOT to act as a woman -- all about the women of every season of "The Apprentice."
