My latest batch of books are shipping out for the proof copies to be approved by me, and I have to say my hopes are already low. Createspace has up the product pages already and I pray that the spontaneous gray rectangle in the right corner of the cover is just a glitch on the thumbnail and not actually going to print that way.
To cheer me up, Michael Jackson's autopsy report was released. I like autopsy reports, and that one was particularly gorey. They apparently cut out his throat organs and tongue en bloc, which I didn't even know you could do, then drained a bunch of bone marrow and eye fluid for testing. And as usual, urine in the body -- disproving that stupid myth, I don't know where it comes from*, that you piss yourself when you die.
*I suppose it could be either that old people with continence problems already -- who probably do most of the dying in this world as it is -- are the ones responsible for this "common" occurence, or alternately I can see how if you weren't found for a while and were already beginning to rot, the bladder and urethra might slime up enough for everything to leak out.
