I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure

I'm really intrigued by the way you talk about Summer, Kate. Like she's not you. Do you actually have the real Summer Devon locked up in your garden shed?
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice cover.
Thanks Bonnie and Sam. I like Sammy's covers and I especially like the current trend in ebook covers. Thank the gods above that posers are over and done.
ReplyDeleteAnd Tumperkin, here's the truly sad part: I compete with Summer all the time and the bitch beats me.
Yay Summer! Nice cover. Love the dragon tattoo.
ReplyDeleteOk, Kate, close your eyes. Take deep breaths and say it with me: 'I am Summer and I deserve Summer's success; I am Summer and I deserve Summer's success'.
ReplyDeleteRepeat those words in between each breath. When I tell you to open your eyes you will wake up feeling peaceful and brimming over with creative energy.
Open your eyes.
Now get in the garden shed and finish writing that goddamn terrapin-soup-orgy-scene!
