Obama and Smelling Good

I'm not someone who discusses politics often. In fact, every time I DO discuss politics, I tell you how I don't discuss it often. ;)

BUT

(oh c'mon, you knew it was coming)

Obama is the talking-est President we've ever had. I don't care what your political inclinations are or where you feel he's been awesome or awful, that man loves to hear himself talk.

If he has an opinion, you're going to hear about it. If he blows his nose, you are going to have a verbal dissertation on the quality of the chunks and the forecast of all future colds based on the consistency of his snot modules.

What amazes me most is that he can talk bullsh*t like no one I've ever seen. Without a blush, he gets up there and spews propaganda as though it's truth. I won't tell you how I voted, but I'll tell you I was not displeased to see him elected. Now? Holy shite does that man have a blowhole!! I really, really, really, want him to shut the f*ck up and stop giving his opinion.

Okay, I'm over it.

And also, today in Mia's current news (because I have a blog and my opinion is so much more valid than the opinion of the President of the United States of America...? Shut up). I'm working all day today on stories and such. Oh yeah, and ordering fun things for the Authors After Dark contest.

Ironically, I have two scents created for me through Valerie's Uncommon Scents (dot com) and one of them is "Mia After Dark", the other one just being, "Mia". I wear them all the time and the After dark takes the base scent, "Mia", and expands on it with richer sexier tones. I love them both and I'm having tiny sample vials of them as giveaways at the conference. If there's interest in non-attendees to try them out, lemme know and I can reserve a few of each to send you.

You interested or is that a no?

Authors After Dark

Do you know about this? It's going to be AMAZING! A bunch of authors, editors, publishers, and readers will all converge in New Jersey (thus making it the ONLY reason worth being in the state *snarrrrrrk*) for a convention. There will be panels galore and book signings and contests and prizes and editor appointments and schmoozing.

Alas, there will also be cameras which I shall have to break systematically if they level on me.

I'm pretty excited about the event. Plus, I'm rooming with Bronwyn Green and Kris Norris!! And plus-er Brynn Paulin will be there and so will Carol Lynne. And even PLUS-ERER there are a slew of people that will make me all awash with awe-sparkles because they are The Ones. One day, when I'm a big girl author, I want to be a The One too.

*sigh*

Now back to my real world again. I'm sipping my coffee from a HUGE mug. It's gone cold but I care not. I've answered all my emails, save the one I'm critiquing for a friend. I'm printing off paystubs from my publishers because I have to keep things organized like that so tax time doesn't get insane.

Then, I get to work on Knight Moves some more. I really like that story because of the misunderstood Andy. He showed up in Reasonable Doubt as a sleezoid, but he wouldn't let me keep him as a sleezoid and wound up becoming rather likeable. Andy seemed to need his own story line so he's getting one and in it...all will be revealed! Besides which, it turns out he's kinda really okay and the guy he's into is everything that Andy needs. I love happy endings.

Back to work!
