I was looking at the cover art I had done for my last Halloween contest attempt, "A Hollywood Secret." (Someday, I'll realize I need to work on these a little bit more than a week before they are due!)

I was looking it over when I asked myself out loud, where's the sexy?

A quick investigation and I discovered I used an earlier version of the main picture as the final, and I just didn't fuckin' see I had used the wrong version! So I have corrected that, and the version I actually wanted to use is now there.

I know, you're probably hoping for a next chapter of "Mayhem in a Pill" update. Well, so am I.

I'll get back to that today. I have time and no plans... You slave drivers!

Woo hoo! I have taken a bit of a break from writing for today since I've been up all night and I'm still functioning. Not well, but functioning.

But for my treat to myself, I took a gander over at the Most Popular list on the front page. (Look for it, y'all will find it!)

Guess who's on the top of the list? Go ahead, guess.
No. Try again.

Hey, wait a sec, are you trying to be funny?

To be on the top of the list is a great thing, and for being away soooo long. It is awesome, and I thank every person for reading. I know it's been going on for a while, and I know there is a lot. But I do thank you. And I promise not to have y'all wait for so long.

I am working on it.

Trust me.

I guess I can let the cat outta the bag.

The next chapter of Mayhem in a Pill has been submitted for posting and should soon be available for all you little animals to enjoy.

Now. If you'd all excuse me, I'm on a good run with the next chapter. I shall return to that one.

Sleep? Who needs that?

Tee hee.

So, how's it going, y'all?

I've been kind of out of it for a while now. I do apologize, but I got hit with a hard case of the lazy. It was a pretty big case, and I'm still in the middle of it, but I reached the end of the latest chapter. I was quite surprised when I realized I had reached the end of the chapter.

So it is what it is. I have sent the chapter to the first editor, and when it returns, I'll send it to the next one.

I'm guessing about a week or so before y'all can read it for yourselves.

Just letting y'all know.

I was a little bored after I had just finished a few more pages of Mayhem in a Pill, and I decided to give myself a present and continue my umpteenth reading of Refusenik's "Island Mine." I had just reached the part of the story where Waylon was selling his first batch of gold mined by the aliens inhabiting his body when he went over the numbers for his first cashing in.

Seeing as how this story was originally posted in April of 2013. Oh damn, has it been that long already? I wondered what it would be as of today.

Hello Google!

So Waylon handed over 48.895 kg of gold to Whitestar Metals, pocketing $2.65 million in the story.

But in today's prices, that 48.895 kg of gold would bring home about $7.37 million.

Whew!

To paraphrase a line from one of my personal favorite movies, "That's a huge Twinkie."

Okay, back to work I go!
