A Dark Labyrinth of Silly Putty

[jackshoegazer]

Ta-dah! Everything is back to normal. Mercury quickly retracted all of his evilness and put everything right. How much longer until I can go back to normal thinking?

The only lasting effect is that I was forced to spend six hours sitting in a coffee shop editing the Book. I got 130-something pages done, which puts me at over half done. (Remember, these are double-spaced pages, so it's not as thick as it sounds. We're looking at a 250-275 page book when when published.)

I was playing around on Photoshop last night and designed this Book cover. I've probably done close to twenty different covers. This one is probably close to my favorite. We had the idea of releasing the Book with multiple covers, each gaged for slightly different target audiences, plus the collectors who would buy every version. (Because it's that good, you know.)

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm kind of bored and lonely today. My roommate is at band practice for I-don't-know-how-long. Ethan and Ben (my roommate's son) have a couple friends over today for a sleep-over, so they're all occupied. The house is full of rambunctious boy noises, which seems to amplify my boredom. I can't seem to settle into anything, let alone folding my laundry, reading or even editing.

Did you ever see the episode of South Park where the lesson learned was that marijuana is okay, but it makes it ok to be bored when you could be doing something else or learning a new skill? Yeah, I'm bored and I can't even make it okay to be bored.

That's a lot of Nair. I hope you get a discount for bulk purchases.

i get the bear rate. they give it to large gay men and me and my fellow grizzlies. they have to heat the wax with a blowtorch in a bathtub

Maybe I'm prejudiced, but bears with blow torches just sounds like a really, really bad idea. I thought Smokey the Bear was supposed to PREVENT forest fires?

smokey the bear has no stated policy on hot wax bathtub fires.

Whateva! You're all a bunch of salmon-eating, picnic-basket-stealing, bee-harassing, honey-addicted hypocrites!

i would watch my back if i were you, we have a strategic alliance with kittycats. they get rid of our problems discreetly and we leave them salmon guts.
