My book is FINALLY listed on Amazon. After weeks and weeks of waiting, I finally found it. Although the book is not to be released until October 1, it's already listed there. You would think, however, that you'd be able to pre-order it. NOPE! There's no price (even though one was supplied to them, I am told), and no pre-order button, so I cannot promote it at all. I've e-mailed them, but we all know what good THAT will do: NONE.
In other news, my instructor (who is also my advisor) ticked me off so bad that I have posted all my notes to the class I took from him last year. I warn you: you might not get much out of them except that maybe I should have been paying more attention. I still got a good grade, though.
The band is not practicing, and we still haven't recorded the album. Supposedly, this is going to happen in a week, but I am not holding my hand over my ass waiting. Assuredly, someone will find a way to screw it up. AGAIN.
Today, I went shopping with my Mom. While there, I started chewing a piece of gum. While at the checkout stand, I bit down on the piece of gum, and suddenly, this horrendous pain hit my lower right-hand second-to-the-back molar. It was a pain unlike anything I have ever felt before. I blacked out (but I did not fall down or go to my knees or anything) and my ears started ringing like nobody's business. The pain lasted for hours and hours. I have taken 12 painkillers and half a tube of OraGel, and it still hurts from time to time.
Which brings me to another rant: Why are dentists so expensive? I do not have insurance, and cannot get it through my state, so paying for medical or dental practices is out of my reach. But my teeth are killing me. But does anyone care? Can I get a "Hell, NO!" from the audience? Nobody gives a crap whether your teeth are falling out of your head. Nobody cares that you are in so much pain that you can't even lift your head without crying hardly. Grr.
Which brings me to another rant: Why won't anybody pay for web design services? Everybody I know wants a professionally-designed web site, and, yet, no one wants to pay me to do my job. Why on EARTH would they think that I should do something for the for free? Would a DENTIST do it for free? Can I get a "Hell, NO!" from the audience? Then I am not going to either. I charge a lot less than other web designers. So, freaking PAY ME already.
