My proofreader was able to finish proofreading two books of mine this past weekend (The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue). After looking them over again, I think they're about good to go. I've still yet to design a cover for either, but have some ideas in the works. I've finished proofreading and editing a third book (LOL at the GOP - Volume 4: Guns, Jesus, Corporations, and Fetuses), so I'll have my proofreader look that over before I finalize matters. Lastly, I'm about to proofread and edit the fourth book I'll be releasing this year (LOL at the GOP - Volume 5: You Can't Spell 'Forgot To Take Their Crazy Pills' Without 'Tea Party'). Hopefully I'll be able to finish that sometime this week, that my proofreader will be able to look my third and fourth books over before long, and I can get to designing covers and releasing the books in the weeks to come. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck will be released sometime in mid-April, and the two LOL at the GOP books will be released by some point in May - probably around six months prior to the midterm elections. Well, for as much as I've gotten done thus far, I still have some work to do, so I better get to that. Unless something major happens before then, I'll make certain to update everyone next Monday on how the four books are progressing.
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...
