VACATION!!!
Dec. 1st, 2006 07:35 pmwoo!!! i'm on vacation and shit! i don't go back to work for like forever!!! in the mail: South Park: the Complete Seventh Season (i just couldn't live with that gap, yeah...) and in bigger news, that story of mine that's going to be published is also going to have a rejection posted (maybe printed too?) elsewhere! it's this crappy magazine called Alin Skin (i'm sure it sounds like i'm being bitter, but i'm not...it is objectively crappy, more on that later...) they do this thing where if something's rejected you can opt to have it "zapped" where they post their rejection, usually they go overboard in trying to be humorous or whatever...well, i really submitted (before i subumitted to the one that is publishing it) there more to be zapped than accepted (it seems to have a sci-fi bent anyways...obviously with a name like that...) anyway the things they say in previous zappings have been pretty dumb, just the way they say it...(and that's not even touching on the bad writing and grammar issues, etc...) see the funniest thing is, and i just found this out after they emailed me last night to let me know and i looked it up, they give you a shirt if you're zapped as a consolation prize kind of thing...well, the shirt i'm getting (i'm going from memory so the wording may not be exactly, but) says "the alien's have landed"...the apostrophe usage most definitely being present...i just find it humorous that they can't even get the grammar right for their one sentence slogan on their own t-shirt...i'm actually pretty excited about it, they say it'll be up saturday night so i'll post the link when it's there...i'm proud to be publicly rejected and can't wait to see what they actually say...but anyway i'm on vacation now and must optimize my chillin' or something to that effect...
