the controversies

[mamajoan]

Controversy of the new LJ posting page: I like it, actually. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that when you hit tab after typing your subject, you used to go right into the entry window but now you have to go through all those other links. Ah well, minor irritation.

Controversy of Anne Rice vs. Amazon: I have to say I just find this fucking hilarious. I've never liked Anne Rice anyway, and she has now revealed herself to be precisely as neurotic and clueless as I've long had the impression she is.

Would type more but the current controversy is "how to get baby to stop chewing on tampons" so I gotta run. Heh.

how to get baby to stop chewing on tampons

Well???

LOL. It turns out that confiscating the tampon is pretty effective.

I think the most telling part of the article...

...is where Anne Rice acknowledges that she "refuses to be edited." While chutzpah is admirable, I can think of far superior authors who recognize the importance of outside help.

Eh. Maybe she and Bill Cosby can go form a support group for celebs gone wacko...

Yeah, that was the part that stood out for me too. If she doesn't see that refusing to be edited is likely causing (some of) her problems, then she's too far gone into her own ego-trip to be helped.

I have been absolutely fascinated by Anne Rice's delusions ego style of writing ever since this was pointed out to me. My jaw drops every time I re-read it. Time cannot wither her infinite wankiness.

There are ads in the metro these days about, um, new cake thingies, which they're advertising as dynamite, because they're cylindrical. (With a part of the cylinder cut to expose the cream or caramel filling.)

So there's a big old lit fuse coming out of the top.

They look like giant tampons.
