Classic Blog Post: Book Is Released…Sort Of! Also, Tales of the Grandmonster

Original Publication Date: 7/09/08

‘allo everybody!

Yes, the evil from Hong Kong is amongst us.  More on her in a moment.

And now a word from our sponsor:
Andy Stevenson Vs. the Lord of the Loins is ready to be delivered from the printer!  There’s a tiny hitch with the cover for the reprint of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to My Sexual Orientation, so that won’t be ready until Friday (it’ll be added to Zumaya’s site at that point and will be showing up with “Andy Stevenson” on Amazon.com).  Then, of course, both get sent to the publisher who then sends copies out to bookstores and anybody who pre-ordered.

And let’s face it, aside from your own personal library, these would make terrific birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, Christmas gifts, Valentine’s Day gifts, Sweetest Day gifts…circumcision gifts.  Trust me, you’re getting a lot for your money.  Heck, buy an extra copy and donate it to your local LGBT organization (Note: I said “extra” copy there…as in more than 1).  I swear, leaving all the brainstorming up to me is so unfair!

Now, let’s talk Grandmonster.

She arrived…safely…again.  Pookie came home the weekend previous and ran his skinny-but-delightfully-adorable rear end off taking her out to shop and then back out again so she could return it all. She thinks it’s charming. I have another word for it. In fact, I have several.

The silver lining appeared to be that he was going to take her to Toronto this past weekend for the 4th. I attempted to invite myself along. He disagreed. I disagreed with his disagreement. He switched tactics and suggested she come out to Phoenix to stay with him since that’s where he was working that week. She agreed.  I thought I lost.  I was wrong!

Now…it’s 113 degrees in Phoenix. I figure that if God wanted me to be in that kind of heat, He’d have installed me with internal air conditioning. He didn’t, though. 113 degrees doesn’t really bother the Grandmonster much. Why? Let’s be honest. It’s usually MUCH hotter in Hell.  Anyway, she arrives, takes a look around and tells Pookie “I’m bored.  I want to go to Las Vegas.”

The Grandonster Ruling The World From A Hotel

He drives her 5 hours to Vegas.  They eat at a buffet, take a few pictures, argue about whether or not she’s been to a particular hotel, then she’s bored again.  heh heh heh  Ah, the time with her I didn’t miss.  Senility…it’s not just a game, it’s a sick and twisted game that’s fun to play.

My time with her will be tomorrow night.  Wish me luck.  There’s already a good chance she misplaced that voodoo doll of me and hits/sticks with chopsticks, so we’re on a roll here.

Hug noises!
