pulling the wings off bunnies

[freckles_and_doubt]

The cruel universe randomly woke me up at 6.30am yesterday. On a Sunday! How rude! Miffed, I crawled out of bed, flung myself into the embrace of hot water for a while, and then with self-flagellatory zeal embarked upon book updates. An almost uninterrupted 8-hour burst of manic energy resulted in the death of the penultimate chapter (pop culture), which I have to say is a purer, higher, stronger version of its former slightly shoddy and badly under-researched self. As a reward, The Horror That Is The Bunny has received mitigation: I removed the wings and The Claw, so it sits here tweely clad only in a cheesy plastic crown. (With the full consent of the perpetrators, I might add, although I notice that motivational rewards only go so far: the bastards kicked my butt at Magic again last night. As usual).

Today I have been assailing the Disney chapter, which I am forced to admit is somewhat over-endowed in the frothing and unnecessary gnashing of teeth departments. Bits of it are indefensible and completely crap, although there are some moments of sense. Have been judiciously nurturing the latter while weeding out the former. I may end up with something which delicately suggests that Disney is a bit shamelessly manipulative at times, which is something of an improvement on the old version, which pretty much had DISNEY IS THE ANTICHRIST! up in giant flashing lights.

Come the dawn, i.e. the Giant Birthday Celebratory Party to which you lot should all have received e-mail invites by now, I was planning some appropriate celebration of the book completion. This should entail borrowing the Evil Landlord's second-biggest anvil and dropping it on the bunny, but it seems a bit ungrateful after Bunny has sat here all these months exuding Motivational Field. Not sure what to do. Advise me!

Obligatory Random Linkage: those of you who enjoy Girl Genius might like Othar's Twitter journal. Pleasingly silly.

no. do not mash the bunny. rather find a new home for it, on the nice warm desk of someone else who needs extreme motivation... in a few years you will be selling movie rights to the story ;)
