Well, I finished my short story and just emailed it off to the gracious editor who gave me the extra day I asked for. I don't know if I managed to pull off what I wanted to do with the story, but if she doesn't want it, so be it. It'll go into the files and maybe get a second chance some other day.

I have to work late tonight, and I am already sleepy. I should see if I can take a little nap, but whenever I do that I am always afraid I won't wake up in time. Heavy sigh. At least tomorrow is a day off.

As I said, I am trying to use the month of October to get all my little odds and ends finished up and done so I can focus fully on Chanse V once November 1 rolls around. I am also very pleased with myself for getting this story done--trust me, the last thing I've been wanting to do these past few days is write and revise, but I put my nose on the grindstone and got it done. Sometimes you just have to make yourself do it, you know?

Alas, I have to miss Project Runway tonight, but hopefully I can catch it tomorrow before the VP debate. I am wondering if I should bother to watch it; the last few weeks even the sight of John McCain and his skanky lying ass on television (even when he is being mocked or his lies being pointed out) makes me so angry I have to leave the room. And while I mostly feel sorry for la Palindrome these days, she is still capable of making me angry. At least their poll numbers are dropping faster than the Dow these days.

Excuse me, Senator McCain. It might be a good idea to stop blaming Senator Obama for everything and start acting Presidential if you want to salvage the disaster that is your campaign. I know this might come as a surprise to you, but nobody likes the idea of a hot-tempered cranky old man having the launch codes to an arsenal of nuclear weapons. And I doubt very seriously that the rest of the world is comfortable with the idea either.

And by the way, someone (sorry, I am too lazy to look up the link) has now proven what I've been saying all along--that Sarah Palin can't see Alaska from her home, her hometown, or Alaska's capital. Apparently, there is no lie that woman won't tell.

Maybe it was the witches! Maybe they've possessed her!

Fucking freak.

If she's in Alaska, I'm pretty sure she can see Alaska from wherever she is in the state. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Now, if you're talking about the quote, "I can see Russia from my house," that was from a Saturday Night Live sketch. Palin herself never said it. Tina Fey, who is doing the best political impersonation that stage has ever seen, voiced the line.

What Palin actually said, in reference to Alaska's proximity to Russia, was "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." There is a possibility that, from one of the western islands near the Bering Strait, one can see the eastern tip of Russia.

Of course, being able to see Russia from an island means as much about Palin's foreign policy experience as my ability to see a plane from my house gives me piloting experience. You can dislike Palin for many reason, but unfortunately, this quote isn't one of them. Now, since I've seemingly defended her. I need a shower. In bleach.

Edited, because missing words are bad.
