recently I’ve been reading a lot of info/blogs
about e-readers
the fadder got a kindle
and I’ve been helping him find “stuff” online

I came across this blog: Big Al’s Books and Pals
just about the time
he reviewed this self published book

just in time
to watch the subsequent shit show
by both his readers
and the author of said e-book
that resulted in over 300 comments

the author of the e-book posted all the good reviews
she could find online for her book
in Big Al’s comments
she called people names
she ranted
and raved

ye old blogesphere has been
buzzin since
with mostly cautionary tales
about what an author
should/could/would have done…
people have suggested
she anonymously fabricated
some of the reviews
agents
other writers
other reviewers

shit show.

so let me just say 2 things

1.
if I ever get to the point
where I publish anything
I’ll not be reading reviews
cos really?
I’d likely do the same

2.
there ain’t a chance in the world
I’m ever gonna read that woman’s work

I guess I’ve been lucky to date
if people don’t like what I write
they don’t comment
they just go away
and that’s fine by me

cos really
my skin is just as thin
as anyone else’s
and this whole shit show
has once more
suggested to me
that artists
are sensitive about their shit.

besides
didn’t someone smart say
“if ya can’t say something nice
shut yer freakin pie hole”?

LoL

I woke up this morning to blood on the kitchen floor

Pixie had scratched her ear till it bled and for a little dog there was quite the freakin mess (freakin being the operative word…the last time a dog bled on my kitchen floor was the day I had to have Coco put down)

So off to the vet we went again…It’s definitely an allergy and the vet says most commonly a protein like table scraps or new treats of food…the vet says she’s not to have any animal meat or legumes or garlic or avocado or onions or chocolate…cos any of those can really mess her up (some like garlic, chocolate or onions can kill her)…she can only have her regular kibble, her regular dental treats and her regular peanut butter treat…she can continue to have celery, lettuce or carrot.

I’m thanking goodness it ain’t house dust she’s allergic to cos then we’d both be screwed eh?

So…during my 8 weeks off on medical leave…during the last 5 weeks I’ve spent $420.00 on Pixie (gawd bless Visa is all I’m saying…) she’s had a cortisone shot today and has to wear a lampshade for about a week…and oatmeal bath etc etc….poor baby…the vet also says she’s never seen a dog’s ear flop like hers at 18 mths so we’re all hoping they will come back once she’s had some itch relief…

Never a dull moment on Wallace Dr.
