SOTU? Will you watch?

I may force myself to watch the president at 9 pm. The good news is that it's on after bedtime for my bonzo #3 so I can play:

1. This drinking game

2. or maybe the Delay version of the drinking game.

(games mentioned on www.mydd.com)

I know there's a pool somewhere online for how many seconds into the speech the words 9/11 will be uttered. Right, found it here. Heh. Funny.

I wonder if there's one about how many times the phrase will be mentioned. Or how many times the word "terrorist" will be used.

If anyone knows any Democratic Rebuttal games, feel free to post them. I expect to be toasted, disgusted and/or bored by then. (note: if there isn't a Rebuttal Game, and you devise one, I don't think the words "Abramoff" or "scandal" uttered by any Democrat should rate a full glass of anything. You'd chug the whole bottle of whatever's in front of you within a couple of minutes.)

    We're boycotting. We'll find out what we need to know from the Daily Show tomorrow.

    BTW, my wife's reading your bodice-ripper. My son had a good laugh over, "His tongue traced her lips."

    I know, I know, you are not writing for an audience of 10-year-old boys.

    Or so you thought.

    I lasted through two standing ovations. I scared the dog when I screamed at the tv.

    I had to hide my author's copies of my books. My kids kept trying to read them. They usually make pukey sounds when they see romances (some of those covers--who can blame them).

    So which of my bodice rippers did you get? And how is Karen doing? Does she need a list of good books? I swear I read all genres.

    I boycotted the SOTU also. Managed to vaccum the house though. Hey, do you think we can get him to schedule more of these? Then my house would be all sparkly :)

    And my 11 yr old daughter just discovered my collection of romance novels. Erm. Yeah. Maybe a touch young?

    It's never too young for a girl to learn she will soon become drenched with passion, her nipples hard little buttons, yatta yatta yatta.

    Somebody Wonderful, Kate.

    I so didn't watch. Blech.

    Sorry - wish I could be more articulate, but we are talking about George Dubya Bush.

    Blech.

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.

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
