Yesterday was a good personal day off. Not that I accomplished much other than cleaning the bathroom.
I had done a global command to The Body on the Lawn when I first published it because mostly I called my main character Eli, though occasionally I wrote Ely. The command was supposed to make Eli universal... what it did was take those three letters and turn them into Eli throughout the book. As a result, believe became bElieve and eliminate became Eliminate. That has now been fixed.
Tonight is the first of 2 Democratic debates. I may watch some. My prediction is that no one is going to break out; rather, the results will point the non-candidates toward elected position in which they can do more for America. America needs to take back the power. We need to take over control in order to correct this problem and jail Mitch and Elaine for corruption. He knows it's coming. All you need to do is look in his eyes to see the terror.

I have a baby butternut squash growing out back. It's about 2 inches long. I have 4 plants grown from seeds I'd saved. So far this is the only one I've been able to identify. I'm hoping for at least one cantaloupe.
I went to see "The Secret Life of Pets 2" last evening. Meh. It had some funny parts but overall it did not trigger my "woah" button. I'm not a big Kevin Hart fan and he voiced one of the main characters. Someone, somewhere thought having a white bunny talking trash was funny. Nope. This was nothing but a bad stereotype written for adult Kevin Hart fans and nothing more.
And, who ended up with the duck yesterday?
For about 3 hours Biggie had control. It's a big duck, 15 inches long, and at one point he used it as a pillow.
I had forgotten all about the debates. I will have to make it a point to watch. There are sooooo many Democratic candidates that it worries me a bit that the party will be divided come November 2020.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, after this week there most likely only be 8 or 9 candidates left.
DeleteI'll watch the debates, though I am already over the hype that this is an all important debate. No, honey, when you whittle down that number to single digits,I'll call it important.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't wait to see that number start dropping.
DeleteOh lordy, the universal spell corrector. I think you only do that once right? I had a 500 page document where different tariff lines were referred to as "xxx ''cept tariff lines" so I changed every "cept" to "except" - which was fine until I hit the pages dealing with "contraception" - which came out at "contraexception". One time the Member states of my organization were referred to as Contracting Parties, and a global search and replace changed that to Contracting Pastries. The best one though was when one of our French statisticians threw 500 pages of A3 tables back at my colleague because everywhere he had written about "importation of furskins" she had typed "foreskins". I don't think he knew what that was but it was in the days of good old tipex and the typewriter!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the global faux pas I started speaking French... American French, that is, the one with a lot of fricative sounds.
DeleteKevin Hart is a one trick pony. He lacks the wit and acerbic humor of let’s say, Chis Rock.
ReplyDeleteAnd the debates, yes! Cheeto and the trumpanzees are ready to twist every word and Mock every mistake. Can’t wait for the russian bot army to start the misinformation campaign.
Oh and I started reading the book and never noticed the typo 😆
XoXo
The only ones who will care what he says are his base. I can't wait to see their reaction when he gets tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
DeleteAnd remember, if you like the book and give it a good review you get to be Chairman of my Public Relations Team!
I am a PROUD member of ravelry and I SUPPORT their decision 1000%!
ReplyDeletebut OMB, the fucking snowflakes and dumpbots are so triggered; FREE SPEECH, they scream. uh, no, this is a private website; the snowflakes can go form their own dump dick-licking knitting site. but they are too fucking stoopid to do that.
ravelry has 8.5 million members, so they aren't going away any time soon. thing is, ravelry has always had a left-leaning bent; the dumpbots act like this is something new.
I would LOVE to see every fucking dumpbot marginalized and shunned, like they do to women and LGBTQ and POC.
Yes, it's a private website which treats them like they should be treated... like ignorant sacks of shit.
