Okay, continues. Let’s be honest here.
I had a very frustrating couple of days dealing with the mess from the CG Flash Fiction contest. There were a lot of cheating votes – better than 20% of the total votes had to be tossed out. This is the 2nd year we’ve done the contest, and both times there were cheaters. It really pisses me off that a few people just want to ruin it for everyone. If we do the contest again next year – no guarantees – then it’ll probably be judges deciding the winners. No more open voting – I’m just sick of dealing with the crap that comes with it.
On the positive CG side, we got a good number of entries to the SiMF contest, and some good ones too. Plus there were plenty of submissions to the Invasion issue. That’s always nice to see.
Tonight we leave for the cottage for 4th of july weekend. Even though we’ll be doing a lot of submission reading out there, I’m looking forward to the relaxing. Plus, fresh, locally grown fruit & veg. NOM. And the weather looks clear. Yay!
The following weekend is ReaderCon, where we’ll get to see a lot of friends! Plus a drunken party to follow. W00t!
Two weekends after that, we’re going to the Cape for a couple of days: Hanging out with family. Hopefully with decent weather, yikes. I can’t really remember the last time I was at the Cape, and Kay’s never been.
And then the Saturday after that is W.Ink Day!
And the Friday after that is Kay’s birthday!
Did I mention that we’ll be wrapping up the SiMF contest and building/releasing issue 21 in that time too?
*DIEZ*
Other note: still loving my iPhone. The screen is amazing. I’ve been reading a TON the last few days and my eyes aren’t strained at all. I’m looking forward to recording some HD video at the cottage this weekend! (And I could care less about the still-only-alleged Verizon iPhone. I’m not so enthused by their service, and when they get slammed with 12 million iPhones all at once their network is going to lag, too. Plus AT&T will have a few million iPhones come off their system, which can only improve the service.)
Let’s end with a quiz! Today’s the 30th anniversary of the movie Airplane! I got every question right and I haven’t seen the movie in ages. How will you do?
