Yahoo's Launch thingy is making a big deal that the artists they get to perform for them are performing...LIVE!
No shit! Live, you say? Jeez, will wonders never cease?
Wait, that joke would be funnier if the Beatles hadn't rereleased a bunch of stuff in the last couple years, wouldn't it? And then there's the Nirvana box set, and I saw an ad with a CG Steve McQueen in yesterday...
Okay, never mind. FUNNY CANCELLED.
*clears throat*
Yahoo's Launch thingy needs a better copy editor.

Speaking of copy editors, I'd like to just point out to everyone who writes for a Certain Publishing Company that while Raistlin Majere might be on the Revolving Door O' Heaven afterlife plan, if you're going to bring him back, please follow these simple rules to make the reading experience more enjoyable for everyone.
1) When we know he has conclusively died, do not bring him back. AGAIN.
2) Do not bring him back solely to entertain a kender*.
3) Do not give him sort of a "I'm really a nice guy at heart even though I wear black robes and I love everyone even though my motivation in a different book is hatred of pretty much all of humanity" approach to the storyline, or, more importantly, the DIALOGUE.
4) DO NOT PUT RAISTLIN MAJERE IN ANY SORT OF CHILDREN'S BOOK IN WHICH HE DISPENSES FATHERLY ADVICE TO A KENDER AND ACTS ALL KIND AND SHIT TO EVERYONE. THAT IS VERY, VERY BAD, AND YOU WILL BE BEATEN AS SOON AS I FIND YOU.
*dramatic pause*
I weep.
*Especially when the kender in question isn't Tasslehoff, and is, in fact, the MOST ANNOYING LITTLE KENDER IN THE WORLD.

Ooh, a journal sort of post.
If you have to deal with me in the next couple (insert-span-of-time-here), please bear in mind that I have turned into a raving bitch and hate everyone, including little old ladies. Since I never learned patience, even though I sent away for it once, I am bitchy AND impatient.
This is subject both to change without warning and also to becoming permanent. But it's been four days. I see no reason to expect it to change.
I'm just sayin'.
