TV, batshit a-holes, what I'm working on.
Sep. 15th, 2012 04:46 pmFinally started watching Breaking Bad. My brother loaned me the first season, and I'm gonna watch the season finale tomorrow. Odd to be getting into a new show just as the fall TV season begins, but that's just how it worked out. Walt's wife is a vile bitch.
In further TV news, I'm now getting paid to write about this season's Dexter, American Horror Story, and Boardwalk Empire. This means that ALL of our cable is now a business expense including HBO and Showtime), instead of just the internet. So big Yay for that!
Commissions are still trickling in. That's great and all, but if I ever want to see the inside of a dentists office again, they'll have to send a lot more work my way. I do like PayPal's record keeping interface thusfar.
In my own news, I'm about half-past give-a-shit with certain kinds of fuckery. I was actually called a liar on the internets recently, and told that I was making up mean things about a certain religion because I hate certain people and want to destroy them. Sadly, this comes from someone I actually know in real life who went as far as to say How am I supposed to explain to my children that you hate us???. I suppose the same way you explain all the other crazy shit you've hallucinated. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be any crazier than animals on a boat not eating each other on a long voyage.
I can only conclude that they've gone batshit, or that they've always been batshit and I just never noticed. Even though I'm pissed about it, I don't see a point in trying to convince anyone that it isn't true. Not only do religions need no help from ME to sound batshit, but the religions themselves are all equally annoying--the variance comes from the practitioners.
Fuckery #2 would be the whole Show and Tell with the Family Finances bullshit. I'm amazed at how many people think "discussing my writing career" means I'm supposed to tell them all about how much money I make, what my contracts say, or what my cut of this or that is. On what fucking planet is that considered polite discourse? And I'm certainly not giving that information to anyone with the audacity to ask me to borrow money. In the end, I'm torn between wanting to be understanding and compassionate, and telling people to quit being such selfish assholes. Plus I have that weird issue where if I think someone is trying to impress me, it makes me want to punch them in the face.
Writing: The Finster Effect is off to the publisher who is putting a hawk-eyed editor on that shit. Edits to A Stabbing for Sadie begin soon since they want the manuscript by the end of the month. KMLYLM edits will be next, and pretty minimal.
Gonna try to do a new Stig and the Puppetman comic every month. If you've not downloaded the FREE comic it appears in Resilient Brainforest is up for the grabbing.
Also gearing up to write my first non-fiction book, which is largely shrouded in mystery. Gonna NaNoWriMo that shit, just as a matter of scheduling convenience.
