Rabbithole Quartet: the McCain & Palin Song

Gillian,

BRAVO!!! Absolutely awesome job. Clever lyrics, and particularly fond of the Palin cameo with her "hunting." I've forwarded the link along to a couple friends. Hope all else is well. THanks for the laugh.

Gillian--fantastic! I, too, loved the Palin doing the aerial hunting, and the rabbits were such fun! Loved the lyrics--they worked!--and the music was sweet. I forwarded it to my friends who have turned from the dark side, those who never were tempted by it, and those who are still in the twilight zone. Thanks!

Gillian,

Well, I couldn't get YouTube to play smoothly either after about 2 minutes because of buffering problems. However, what I did see and HEAR was wonderful. The animation is so cute and the singing is great. If you are the lead, you are very good. Nice harmonies. Great work Gillian. Of course I expect no less from you. So very nice to hear from you.

Here's a bit of news. I insanely signed up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) which starts tomorrow. You may already know that means I am to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. Ha Ha. Wish me luck.

BTW, Serial Fiction has been resurrected. Please drop by. We have a really cute ghost story going that you might be interested in.

Geoff -- thanks so much for your comments, and I'm glad the rabbits made you laugh. ( I guess I should thank Sarah Palin too, of course -- she should feel very proud that she's god's gift to humorists everywhere! ;)

Part of the reason I thought to send you the link is because I just found my unfinished copy of Fire Bell in the Night. You probably don't remember me telling you this, but I had been so captivated by the first chapter when it caught my eye in an airport bookstore that I paid for it with my last pocketful of quarters, nickels, and dimes. But just as I was getting well into it, my dad came to town and I helped him reorganize his storage space here, and in the upheaval of going through twenty cartons of his assorted books, photos and MSS, Fire Bell disappeared. And it stayed gone until last week. When my dad returned to retrieve a U-Haul's worth of stuff he wanted to ship home, I found that it had gotten packed away with his books. ARGH and hooray! Anyway, I opened to the first page so I could refresh my memory, and once again, I was blown away by your fantastic writing. ("My Lord!") This time, I'm not letting it out of my sight til I finish the last page.

Anita, three big cheers for sending it to your Dark Side and Twilight friends! That's exactly who I wanted to see it the most when I was making it. The great side-effect of putting it out there is it made me feel less helpless about the election because I felt like I *did* something besides throw money at Obama's campaign -- something personal to back up my convictions. Even if it doesn't convince any brain-washed Dark-Siders to vote for Obama because he is the only choice for sane, honest, aware, thinking, working, and caring people everywhere (*whew!*), at least I tried. :)

Also, I read your poem, "Green", before when my Gather wasn't working, so I couldn't post a comment or message, and I just wanted to tell you how much I liked it -- you really painted some lovely visions in my head! Actually, now that it's working again, I'll get over there again and post.

Tracey -- that's so frustrating when the evil Buffering villain attacks your video experience; hopefully you got to see the Pilot Palin part -- definitely my favorite segment.

And yes I DO know about NaNoWriMo! I did it two years ago -- the first ambitious writing project I'd ever done. I actually did get the 50,000 done by deadline, and it was such a great feeling! I never would've done it except that I was rushing through the bookstore one day and a title caught my eye and jerked me to a stop. The book was called "No Plot? No Problem!" I started flipping the pages and found that it was by a guy who had started a novel-writing challenge. I thought, "Oh yeah, I think I've heard of this..." And guess what day I found that book? OCTOBER 29th. I bought the book, thought about it for one day, and at the stroke of midnight on Nov. 1, I started writing. What a fun month that was! I couldn't wait to get up every day and start writing so I could find out what happened next!

I'm actually still working on that novel -- I wrote 50K words, but that only got me halfway through the story -- whoops! Since then, I finished a romance novel for the Gather Chapters contest and I've written lots of stories and essays, and NaNoWriMo kicked it all off. Your comment got me thinking, actually -- maybe I should do it again this year? Well, just like before, I've got the rest of the day to decide... You're going to have a blast!

LMAO! Luvit, Gill!

Glad you liked it, Em -- thanks! :)
