stinglikeabeeAs parlance noted, it's National Novel Editing Month. Bloody hell. I'd given up on that ages ago. There's nothing like re-reading your hastily written work and cringing at every ill-thought sentence. And that's why I'm watching Smallville. If I can't bear from reading my own crap, I can watch someone else's crap and mock it. Heh.
Ah Smallville. I miss your slashiness. Instead you're stuffed to the brim with angst and wtf moments. Kryptonite in Stride chewing gum, whaa--?
Talk about product placement, yeesh! The show's holding a contest to make 'your own DC comic' for a chance to win an all expense trip to San Diego Comicon. The way it works is through a voting process to choose the next scene in a digital comic, twice a week. Whichever scene wins the highest amount of votes is then added to the comic. Oh and you win a year's supply of Stride gum.
I thought it was bad when the show was backed by Toyota. There was a digital comic of Chloe in her Yaris, and she frequently mentions it in the show. Seriously, enough with the product name dropping. I've got a Yaris too, and wouldn't constantly drop it in my conversations. How stilted and weird would that sound in real life? BTW Chloe's Yaris is a hatchback, mine's a sedan. Sedan people are cooler!
