I wish Jay Sherman was here.

I have the week off from the day-job and thought I might want to see about seeing a movie. When I checked out the box office reviews at Rotten Tomatoes, I was so sadly amused that I screencapped their current goings on just so I could show the all of you's.



I know, right?

In other news, it seems that I'm not the only person at the day-job for whom the word "toxic" was bandied about during review season. You know when The Daily Show shows a bunch of clips of everyone on FOX news (or in the media in general, depending) all using the same buzzwords to enforce a specific dialogue--and then pretending like they aren't? It kinda felt like that.

Working on edits of The Finster Effect. Just a few little things I think will help the reader along. Planning to send a query to Tor, while not really thinking they would take it (that's the spirit!)--it's my first choice right now. Once I hear back from them, next up is Permuted Press. I would love, Love, LOVE to get in on their deal with Audible.com. TFE is gonna be damn difficult to cast as an audiobook. Speaking of which, new podcast ep drops this afternoon. Mixing it in a few minutes, in fact. Off I go then.

Oh, buzzwords. Buzzwords are the cliches of the business, broadcast, and marketing worlds, which means that if anything, we should hate them more. I'm guessing that if you ever wrote a cover letter when submitting your resume to this company - assuming a cover letter was required - they rated it not on the basis of its overall message, but based on how many different buzzwords they could spot in the letter. "Oh, hey, there's another one! That's another five points on her score!"

Ha!
