Here&#8217;s Bad Lipreading with their take on Gotye&#8217;s video. Be sure to hit the captions button for the full effect.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YcQfiYUXrtI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Work in Progress News ~<\/strong><\/span> Working on my pilot story. I had a few thousand words in, then decided it needed to start at a different point in the story, so I started over. This is where plotting might help. Still, now that I figured out the problem, I should be able to go full steam ahead!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Industry News ~<\/span><\/strong> It looks like Target is going to stop carrying Kindles in their stores, citing &#8220;conflict of interest&#8221;. This means that likely many shoppers visit Target to see and touch a device, then purchase from Amazon anyway. Also, Microsoft and Barnes and Noble are teaming up. Imagine Windows on a Nook, folks. That could change the tablet wars as we know it, and consumers win!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~<\/span><\/strong> Nothing too entertaining, but this one made me smile: &#8220;beautiful saturday status&#8221;.

I&#8217;m not sure what it is about historical m\/m stories that just make me autobuy. This one is wonderful, with a great plot. Robert Court is an inspector, trying to debunk Oliver Marsh&#8217;s claims of psychic ability. He doesn&#8217;t expect Oliver to suddenly spout clues to a murder close to Robert&#8217;s heart.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Hero Quote ~<\/strong><\/span> So, sorry about last week&#8217;s quote. That entire scene was cut, so it&#8217;s no longer there. I don&#8217;t have anything new for him yet either, at least nothing quote-worthy. So here&#8217;s a quote from Mario, from <a href=\"http:\/\/oliviabrynn.com\/flipped\" target=\"_blank\">Flipped<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Tiny Tim? A complex? The only complex that boy will ever suffer from is the Napoleon kind. From his overblown cockiness, I could tell he had more dick in his personality than he could ever have in his pants.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s it for me.
