addendum: ghost colin was drinking ghost iced tea
day 633: publisher makes surprise visit to see what we have so far. isn't very happy with our efforts. take him to beach and finds out how awesome it is. gets drunk and takes colin's place in beer pong
day 667: katie comes to visit. meets my new girlfriend. asks me to introduce them to each other. finds out I don't know girlfriend's name. girlfriend leaves. chase her to pier to try to explain myself. tell her I have amnesia. she buys it. awesome. OBX is still frickin' sweet.
day 668: matt's new girlfriend dies. take him to swing on the porch swing at sun spot. learn that the jefferson's are staying there. matt strikes up a conversation with lucy jefferson, the hot daugther. moves through all of the stages of grief within first 5 minutes.
day 690: it's my birthday and went to get ready for dinner. walked in on ghost colin and ghost what's-her-name making out. happy for colin. apparently ghost what's-her-name was doing it to make me jealous. call ghost busters to make her leave
day 693: bill murray ends up showing up. apparently, ghost busters aren't real but he is. brings his karaoke machine. drink too much. have a lot of fun.
addendum: bill murray ends up living with lucy jefferson. turner doesn't notice for two days
day 695: I go to pick up Lucy for surprise date. find bill murray being friendly with her and notice his toothbrush in her bathroom. kind of upset but then I bring up the fact that he did garfield and she dumps him. he still hangs out with us because he respects me sticking up for myself. Bill murray's really good at beer pong.
day 748: tomorrow's paul's birthday and I don't know what to get him. Bill Murray gave him a bunch of money, kyle the "exorcist" gave him a stuffed dolphin, ghost colin got him nothing because he doesn't have any money, and lucy got him the newest nerf gun. so I don't know what to get him. maybe I'll just ask him what he wants. this place is still awesome
day 749: everyone threw me a really great party. it was unseasonably warm and we had a bonfire on the beach. katie sent some bacon from her farm and lucy made it for us. everyone got me really nice presents but turner's was my favorite. he got me a 24 pack of labatt. he always knows just what to get. obx, still great.
day 760: second research extension denied. Bill murray offered to pay for us to stay down here forever. appreciate offer but look for jobs instead while we finish up the book. find out that CheerWine bottling plant is looking for manager. send resume. *fingers crossed*.
day 778: turner gets job as cheerwine manager. publisher gets back to us on book notes. advanced word on the street is that it's going to be huge. he calls it the 50 shades of grey of travel writing. not sure if this is a compliment or not.
day 779: clouds look nice today.
day 780: did laundry today. clouds looked nice yesterday. really enjoying job as cheerwine manager. paul really likes it because I get all the free cheerwine i want. movie studio calls to begin casting for movie on book that hasn't been released yet.
day 782: they want to cast jesse eisenberg as me. i guess i could see it. i'm still holding out for michael cera, though. i doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference.
addendum: good news! bill murray has just been cast as himself!
day 787: find out that Rob Brown, the black kid from Finding Forrester is going to play me. don't know what to think of that. on the plus side, joss whedon is directing it. this could be interesting. lucy made me the best grilled cheese today. we made out. obx is awesome

day 801: we convinced Jimmy Fallon to host the show on our pier because we don't want to leave this place because it's so awesome. he agrees, along with questlove. filming begins in a week, a day after the book is released. very excited. am thinking about asking lucy to marry me. kinda nervous though
