There are lots of things that are demeaning to women. This is not one of them. James Carville's "are you fucking high?" expression is priceless. Current Mood: amused | | Monday, September 1st, 2008 | | 10:16 am |
Yesterday I went to Bumbershoot and saw Janeane Garofalo (ranting about McCain/Palin \o/), Tig Notaro, Marc Maron (to paraphrase: "I grow my hair out to look like Jesus so at Christmas I can go to the mall and walk around saying, 'No...no...this isn't what I had in mind'"), and Stone Temple Pilots, and it. was. glorious!

Self-publishers make me cry I just got this email. It amuses me.
Hi Jami,
I read your fan fiction posts in Checkmated.com and saw that you really seem to have the knack for writing. Other than your fan fiction pieces, perhaps you might have other original pieces that you consider publishing in a book. If you are interested, please feel free to reply to this email.
Sincerely,
[name omitted] Xlibris Corporation
So if I self-publish, will I automatically get a huge sense of entitlement, or will that be directly proportional to the number of grammatical errors the book contains? Will I feel the urge to tell everyone that I'm a published author right away, or will I have to sell a few dozen copies before it kicks in? Things to ponder as I plan my first novel...
PS: I would laugh at anyone who paid to read my writing. I don't even like writing.
PPS: I would not, however, laugh at anyone who paid me to edit. I can has full-time employment? D:

I just read the Breaking Dawn summary on Wiki so I can torment the aforementioned emo kid on the plane ride to Italy (I am an evil big sister, I know), and it's awesome. I almost want to read the books now. ( Sparkle spoilers ) Current Mood: *sporfle!* | | Monday, July 28th, 2008 | | 10:22 am |
Disappearing CW post? :( Aww, I wanted links to Twilight spoilers so I could torment my emo, Edward-worshipping little sister. I'm irrationally annoyed that the book is being released on my birthday because I know she's going to blather on about it all day. August 2 is too cool for sparkly vampires.

I found something in the Twilight wank that's legitimately funny! Follow the links in this link to see inksplotched trying to school ONTDers on macro-crediting etiquette. a) you don't play along with jokes of people you don't know b) she did steal the fucking macro from a friend c) i don't give a fuck whether you think it's retarded or not, you mean nothing d) i had so much fucking fun with you idiots, you have no idea e) OH SNAP, YOU'RE "DONE WITH ME", AREN'T YOU HARD
in short: you are an idiotic fuck.I filled out half my bingo card with that single comment! Why didn't someone post this to F_W instead of the other crap? | | Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 | | 9:20 am |

I know electricbird's inane little comments in the bandflesh wank have been overshadowed by all the lolarious trolls and socks, but she sure is one hardworking n00b! | | Sunday, May 25th, 2008 | | 11:49 am |
I think badeyebrows is the very last place I expected to see SPN grudgewank. It could've been funny, too. Trolls are so lazy these days. | | Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | | 7:19 pm |
Because I'm sure everyone cares... Current Mood: Catty | | Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 | | 10:11 am |
What is this Reaper show, and why does everyone on it have the worst, most out-of-date I'm-edgy-and-trendy hairstyles ever? Seriously, someone please take away their pomade.
I'm supposed to see IJ4 with my friend tomorrow, but she might be coming down with something, in which case we would have to postpone. This is a problem because I am the most impatient person ever. I want to see it rightnow omg!

I found this job listing for a copyeditor at a local RPG company (Pathfinder or something? I don't know, my RPG knowledge doesn't extend beyond Final Fantasy games), and my boyfriend told me I should write my cover letter as though I'm trying to join their party. "I'm a level 27 copyeditor," etc. I would so do it if the job listing had been any less formal. I was very amused by this, however: Ability to deal with customers and/or contributors who might be overtly hostile or impolite a must. I can only imagine.

Word of the day: consideration Wow, Heath's death has sure brought out the worst in people. I don't just mean on the internet: I was watching Headline News because they were the only ones covering the story when I turned on the TV, and I finally had to turn it off because I was so disgusted by them. It's not juicy gossip, it's a person's life. Making assumptions that his role as the Joker was too dark and scary and led him to kill himself was ludicrous enough, but when they excitedly showed footage of his body being taken away, I couldn't stand it anymore. Just fuck off. This is a tragedy. Think of the little girl who will never really remember her father and the family and friends who have to listen to this garbage while it still hasn't even been determined how he died.

The Anne Rice thing cracks me up--I mean even more than it normally would. Why? Because my grandma has told me on several occasions that she has no respect for Martin Luther, or anyone else who quits and starts his own group. Martin Luther should have tried harder to reform the Catholic Church before leaving if he was so upset about it (and what was the matter with it anyway?)!
This isn't the first time my grandma has reminded me of wank topics, either: when Katrina hit, we argued repeatedly because she kept saying that people should try to outwalk the hurricane.
It should scare me that I share genes with someone who sides with Anne Rice and BJR, shouldn't it?

Whoa, anonymous commenting is back? When did that happen? | | Friday, August 17th, 2007 | | 11:35 am |
