Well, I've finally reached the point I've been dreading - proofreading, editing, in-depth research and footnotes. While, in general, I enjoy researching, that's not really the case when it comes to books, because the process seems to last about as long as the writing did. Also, with me tackling four books simultaneously, it becomes almost overwhelming to even ponder about. But, I've finally reached that point, so I'll just have to take a deep breath (several of them, in all likelihood) and deal with it. The rough drafts of all four books are completed, so I'll start with the two general sarcasm books and see how long those take me before moving onto the two political satires. I'll be sure to keep readers updated through the process. Hopefully I can maintain my sanity long enough to finish all four! Wish me luck!
I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun
