jackshoegazerIt took almost 5 hours to print a complete copy of the Book. Now, I'm sure you're thinking, "Damn, that's a big effin' book!" But you'd be mistaken. Even this copy, which is double-spaced for the Editor, is only 477 pages. Unfortunately, the printer kept grabbing extra pages, so in say, a bundle of fifty pages, one gets skipped while the backs are printing and voila! Suddeny page 133 is opposite 139 and that's just wrong. I ended up having to print it in bundles of ten to twenty pages at a time so prevent sticking and extra page-grabbing. Bastards.
However, the long and arduous night is over and Wednesday I'll be delivering the Book to our Editor and thus begins what I refer to as the Book's college education. My co-author and I birthed it, raised it and taught it through it's entire life and now, it's moving out for the first time. *sniffle* I suppose I'll have to write another story to keep empty-nest syndrome at bay.
In other news, I have a cat on my lap named Mr. Loki Peepers who just yawned at me with a big blast of cat breath. My roommates son has a fever and I'm playing caretaker today. Because of the printing fiasco, I didn't get to bed early, as I'd hoped to, so I'm quite tired. I have a doctor appointment this afternoon and I work tonight, so catching a nap may very well be beyond my means and strength to manifest.

nitemarehipigrl's post entitled Amusement, I played with more rhyming and wrote this silly blurb:
With a giggle and a gaggle I'll run around with a star-spangled banner getting fatter on a platter of horseradish and peanut butter splattered on my tattered rug like a bug in the mud so I bathe in a bucket of suds on the run from the police at least I'm done.
Yes, I'm done.
