Monkey With a Typewriter

Spam/Poetry
We all get bombarded with these stupid spam emails, "v!agra cheapmeds!", "Extend her pleasure",etc. Today, this one caught my eye as I was about to throw it away. A poem!
I was intrigued. Usually spam is so cold and impersonal...how did they know I like to write bad poetry? Were they trying to appeal to me as a kindred spirit? I took the advice of the poem to heart, and from now on, when it comes to my wife, I will "know her from the s pza ex ivp u pvz."
I give you the amazing potery of Earlene Hurd:
"Please Her Tonite"
M- men always would like, that at them all was more, than at others
E- enlarge your manhood today and reap all the benefits
G- guys get jealous now when they see me in the bathroom
A- and now make a real step to this - buy our means for increase of the m pvz em jo be rt r
D- do not let ladies prefer dildo to you!
I- if the man speaks you, that to him all the same with what at him the si apj ze of the me kib m fqm b glz er - he dissembles
K- know her from the s pza ex ivp u pvz al side how is she i oh nsi xl de exactly.
Breathtaking, isn't it?

Man, I'm great at this blog thing...
I've looked on a lot of blogs I like, and I've noticed a disturbingly familiar pattern...the user posts about how they vow to post more often and then follow up with posts about how they've failed to post more often. I'll try to get out of that habit. Here's what I'm working on now. My latest novel is churning along nicely, I'm putting out about 500-1,000 words a day. I figure to have it done by late January/early February and start getting reviews and critiques and stuff.
Ive got an article I need to shop around to magazines, and I'm about to start trying to put together an internet play over at the Cult with some people on the boards there. It will be a fun experiment in audio, and another project I shouldn't commit myself to because I have so little time. I picked up a ton of new clients seemingly out of nowhere. Got some new sites ready to launch over the next couple of weeks, more designs to tweak as well.
I've also committed to an ultra-double secret Writer's Group (a write a novel in a year thing), which I'm going to use to rewrite Hit and Run. We'll have to wait and see what happens...
I hope you all had a great Christmas or other-denominational-end-of-the-year-family and/or loved-one gathering.
I will post again. Soon.
