Because everything's better when you add David Tennant.



I really wish they'd let him run the torch in for the 2012 Olympics.  Yes, it'd be a real nerd thing, referencing a episode from over five years ago that many people don't even like (and non-fans wouldn't even get the joke and would wonder why this skinny guy in a brown coat and trainers is strutting around the stadium), but dangit, I would have actually watched the the Olympics if they'd done it!  And I know they let Matt Smith run with the torch for a spell, but I don't like him, so he doesn't count.

Anyways, best of luck to the athletes, hope nobody gets accidentally hit by one of those missiles parked on the London rooftops.

Guess what?



I got a rejection letter from Mike Aloisi and his publishing company.  Looks like I'm moving on to self-publishing.

Do I really feel like screaming?  Hell yes.  I wanted to hand off all the hard work to somebody else while I sat back and collected money.  Now I've gotta set up all this stuff myself...okay, I do have some friends who are going to help me, but I'm still the one who's repsonsible for coordinating all of this.  I hate being the responsible one, no matter how good people say I am at being such.  I prefer to be the one who sits on their butt and occasionally chucks out a good idea.  But dangit, I'm also sick to death of rejection letters, especially when I have dozens of people online who read my stuff and say it's great.  So if you're one of those people (and if you're reading this, you most likely are), then come back here in a few weeks so I can beg you for money via Kickstarter.  Before that happens, though, I've gotta crunch some numbers, figure out just what I need to pay for and how much it'll cost.

Maybe if I pop a fake eyeball in my mouth, I'll feel better...
