04/13/21 Revisions, MORGAN BAROD.
Finished a chapter, and am now waiting for the last six to be alpha-read. It has been a somewhat delayed day, today. End of marking period and a bunch of minor issues, all piling up. But we go on, we do.
Patreon!The Oddly Endearing HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD trailer.
This is something I’d stream, I think. No offense to Ryan Reynolds, mind you. But HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD is one of those flicks that only gets redeemed by its cast. Then again: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek is a cast capable of doing quite a bit of redeeming.
The 2021 Oscars Honest Trailer.
Yeah, I didn’t watch any of these, either. And now I can fake it… no, actually, I don’t really feel the need to fake seeing any of these. I dunno, folks. I laughed a couple of times, so there’s that. The MANK review is particularly well done.
The ZOMGGGGGG ARMY OF THE DEAD Trailer.
I was ready to watch ARMY OF THE DEAD, but now I am stoked. This is gonna be just fine. And the choice of music for the trailer’s at least part of it. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know, either.

PS: Alternatively, the Mad Gene Media studio just used the Rage Against The Machine song without permission. One wonders what RATM plans to do about it, though. I mean: isn’t property supposed to be theft, or something?
Ooh, they’re adapting STARLIGHT. Nice.
:narrowed eyes: They had better not [expletive deleted] it up: “Joe Cornish, known for writing and directing Attack the Block as well as writing the first Ant-Man, has signed on to write and direct the adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic Starlight for 20th Century Studios.”
For those who are unfamiliar: STARLIGHT is Millar’s take on the old Buck Rogers / ERB / Flash Gordon space adventure serials and comics; his hero is named Duke MacQueen, who had all sorts of adventures on an alien world… and went home to his true love. Only now it’s decades later, and his love has passed, his children have grown apart, and he’s old.
All of which sounds very horrible and depressing, and it is – right before a desperate plea for help comes from said alien planet, and MacQueen immediately goes back into heroic-jawed, ass-kicking heroic mode. Because, really: who wants to read six issues’ worth of whining? – And you want to watch out for the old heroes, too. After all: they’re old. I’m not the first person to point out the implications of that.
In other words, I like this comic. So they better not [expletive deleted] it up.
My Helen’s Page book listings (I write books. Buy them!)
They’re now all submitted, and all but one approved: and I don’t think that last one will have any problems being approved, either. I’m giving Helen’s Page a three-month shot, and I’ve definitely sold some books there already. Hopefully I’ll be able to sell some more. You gotta hustle, in the self-publishing business.

Chapter 22 to 24, and my wife had so many notes about the geography of Monmouth County, and its roads. I suspect I shall need to commission a map. Actually, I know I will, but I was allowing myself the delusion that I would not.
