I have officially killed my projected word count dead on Vineart 1 (by about 15,000 words, which for me is scary-crazy). Thankfully, I am told there's deadwood in the first half I can go back and prune, which I will be doing starting this weekend. And since it never rains but it pours: my revision notes for HARD MAGIC just landed, as did the copy edit for BLOOD FROM STONE

Eeeeeep.

For those in need of a bitter but funny laugh: SF/F book covers reimagined. Owch. EtA; and Part two! Take a guess at who "My Pretty Pony Goes to War" is spoofing... Ooops. We kilt it.

From dailyKos, my favorite robocall message: [Beep!] "Hey, Biden here. Gosh, I'm sorry to interrupt your breakfast but, look, God love John McCain...I love him, he's a good guy but the he's acting like he just escaped the funny farm on a pogo stick, ladies and gentlemen. That's number one. Number two, if your greatest accomplishments are flip-flopping on a bridge to nowhere and building a pipeline to nowhere, you shouldn't be a heartbeat away from the presidency. That's just the reality, ladies and gentleman. And number three, this message was paid for out of our petty cash fund's petty cash fund."

and for a good bout of WTFkery:
check out Jon Stewart's take on "Real America" versus "Fake America" (I had a YouTube link for the excerpt but it went byebye) because sometime the best joke writers in the world can't match the surreal WTFkery that comes out of politicians' mouths. Stewart's expression after Palin's speech is just beyond priceless.

Stewart's pissed. And he has every right to be, since real/fake america is just crap. The Seattlites I talk to at the campaign headquarters are also a little miffed by it. Partisan fearmongering... it better not work.

Apparently someone took exception to the covers. I find a "This account has been suspended."
