apocalypsosOverheard on the radio last night while I was driving to work, between two DJs talking about Bruce Willis putting up a $1 million reward for Osama bin Ladin:
DJ 1: But isn't he against the war?
DJ 2: Oh, noooo. He's a staunch Republican. He's one of the good guys.
DJ 1: *somewhat awkward pause*
Good guys?! *smacks him upside the head* As if I needed yet another reason to hate Jumping Jeff Walker, aside from the part where he's a bitter, arrogant moron who hasn't told a funny joke or one-liner since 1986. (If you've never heard this asshole, think about the most annoying dipstick working at the cheesiest Top 40 station in your area. Now imagine he's triplets. He might not be three people, but it sure as hell feels like triple the pain to listen to.)
In other news, I've been rereading The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre (or at least, the parts I've got done) and I think I am going to do something really stupid, considering how far back I am on my Vampires of Vandling word count. I think I'm going to rewrite the first chapter. Yeah, I know it's less about quality and more about quantity, but the quality of it is giving me writer's block. So, starting tomorrow, I am going to reorganize and rewrite that first chapter like a madwoman. (Which might actually improve the quality, come to think of it. I just need to get into Sean's frame of mind, which -- if I were taking "write what you know" literally -- would involve drinking half a six-pack, eating an entire bag of Doritos, playing video games for three hours straight, hitting something with a tomahawk, and blowing up a car.)
Of course, I need to get through one more night of work to get there. *whimpers*

"Um, Abdul, look! Bald American actor has added another million to the reward for Osama!"
"Another million! Well, that clinches the deal. Now I can afford to buy that private island AND a lifetime supply of hookers! Let's get out of this snake filled gaurd house and get the bastard!"
