The worst thing about that stupid 50 Shades of Grey book is that there are 2 more, and I'll probably buy them.

Remind me why I don't write BDSM novels, again? I could write the HELL out of that shit. (As evidenced by my smoov prose stylings in this very post. Yo.)

Removing the pre-existing conditions clause would do wonders, in and of itself.

Didn't people used to at least give lip service to caring about other humans and not wanting them to suffer?

Maybe they were only pretending. I'm 100% serious. They didn't say what they were really thinking until the tide shifted and made it okay to voice the morally bankrupt shit they've believed all along.

Steph, yeah, 50 Shades of Grey was Twilight fanfic originally.

Lip service at least, but there's been such a shift to actively not giving a shit about people, especially from certain politicians, that I think they don't care about lip service anymore.

I think you're right about that, Steph...but what I'm wondering is, did the tide really turn?

I mean, I think the tide churned up some ugly shit, but it seems like there's a huge push back. Komen, then the Limbaugh stuff, the state congressdude getting mocked by all his colleagues about the girl scout cookies...

The Dow hit its highest mark since 2007, so I'm still sitting here waiting for all those predictions about the Marxist Black Panther party coming to steal my white girl ass from my home to force me to breed super-socialists as predicted by a bunch of dickheads. Still hasn't happened.

Maybe next week?

I'm only on the second paragraph of that article and they're getting stuff wrong. "Romantica" does not mean "sexy romance novels read on e-readers." Feh.

I can't even think about health care and insurance. Too infuriating. And it's too nice out to be enraged today.

Also, I would like to refund the taxes he's paid for the space program. I'll write him a check, today. In exchange, he must turn over his electronic devices and not use any technology derived from NASA, ever.

This, right here, is a perfect example of why I love Allyson.

I don't know why you aren't writing them, but please do. Because the BDSM "retelling" of Dracula I found was dire. It turns out I get really annoyed with kinky vampire smut that is boring and badly-written.

"Romantica"

That's a genre?

If I can't make the protagonist a sparkly vampire, I don't think I can.
