Hey everyone!
Just a quick update tonight. I’ve been wanting to blog for a week now, but between my Pookie coming home last weekend, preparing for the Grandmonster’s visit (yes, shields up, phasers charged, photon torpedoes armed, holy water in the squirt guns and crosses on the doors and walls!) and now I’ve got the galley for the reprint of the first book, I hast noeth timeth.
The Face of Evil (Grandmonster) with the Face of Goodness (Pookie)
There is one funny thing I can share with you. When I went into panic mode because the “Andy Stevenson” file hadn’t been sent in and I was told I’d miss my launch date, I decided to visit the Library of Congress site myself and see if there was something, anything, I could do. Well, first I said *EXPLETIVE* when the whole thing happened, then I looked at their site. All for nought. *EXPLETIVE* However, I did find the link in order to send them an e-mail. *NON-EXPLETIVE*
I believe I asked if there was a fee I could pay to expedite the process, someone I could plead my case to…how much suction they required from my lips to their derriere…that sort of thing. I needed an answer in like 5 minutes, that’s how panicked I felt. So, I hit the “send” button and a little message popped up that said something close to this:
“Your mail has been delivered to the Library of Congress. A response will be sent in the next five working days due to workload.”
*EXPLETIVE* *EXPLETIVE* *EXPLETIVE* *EXPLETIVE*
So, anyway, I’m going to sit down and start on the galley tonight while listening to a couple of CDs I received for my birthday. And, laugh as you might be inclined to, I just watched the new Special Edition of Xanadu that was released onto DVD this week. There’s something magical about the film…and gay…that tickles my muse…who’s gay. Cool pattern, eh? I just find it interesting that nobody bothered to interview Olivia Newton-John or Michael Beck for the documentary on the disc. Actually, I think I know why; cheap ass studio didn’t want to pay them. Typical.
Oh, and don’t waste your money on the new Deluxe Edition of So I Married An Axe Murderer. There’s not a damn extra on the disc. What exactly makes it a Deluxe Edition then? I’m stumped…and I plan on writing the studio about it, thus ends another episode of Mr. Bitch Goes to the Video Store.
One last thing. I’d like to wish my honorable adopted little brother from Hong Kong who’s dating a Vegan Buddhist gweilo a very Happy Birthday tomorrow (June 26th)!!! Happy Birthday, Eddie! May your legs remain crossed, your non-virginity stay intact and your dirty thoughts stay unfulfilled…unless they’re with the aforementioned Vegan Buddhist gweilo.
Til’ later!
Kage

Kage Alan lives in a suburb of Detroit, MI with his partner, Pookie, and their fish, all of who are affectionately named and answer to the word “fish.” Don’t tell his partner, but after years of watching bad copies of The Exterminator, he finally ordered it on Blu-Ray. He wouldn’t have, but on the way over to Hong Kong recently, he read a story about it in a genre magazine. The struggle to use willpower not to pick it up was lost at that point. Kage is the author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to My Sexual Orientation, Andy Stevenson Vs. the Lord of the Loins and Gaylias: Operation Thunderspell.
I do NOT know what you are talking about! Grandmother looks as innocent and sweet as a baby lamb. But…well…just in case, keep that holy water nearby. LOL…
