RTBTCKI (Will it or Won't it rain edition)
May. 6th, 2010 11:02 amTry 2 since my word program ate the first one.
The weather is iffy. If I go out and start yard work it will rain. If I stay inside and work, it won’t. Yes, I can control the weather with my actions.
Peter saw Iron Man 2 and enjoyed it. Unfortunately one of our favorite scenes from the trailers is not in the film. But overall he gives it a thumbs up.
Peter came up with a theory about LOST that makes me feel a little better but not much. It is getting harder to watch it these days (I am asking for vagueness in your comments and lets avoid spoilers right now.)
I want to answer a question that was posed to me the other day. If you buy a book (say you bought Interview with a Vampire in Hardcover when it first came out) and then sell the book on E-Bay, you aren’t breaking any laws. You purchased a physical book and it is yours to do with as you want. If you make a profit on the book, more power to you. But scanning it and putting out on the Internet is wrong. Using the library argument is so wrong that I am not even going to start explain why. You have one copy of the book and if you sell the one copy, then you have none but someone else has the one.
Peter signs various things that he wrote from free because he feels that you have already paid for the book or comic or fill-in-the-blank and the least he can do is sign it. But scanning in one of his books so your friends can read it robs us of royalties that keep the lights on and put food on the table. Lending the physical book or comic to a friend is fine because again it is your copy to do with as you will. And maybe that person will then buy some of Peter’s other books. But if they can find everything online for free, where is the incentive to buy anything?
Supernatural is wrapping up with a big bang. We’ll see how this plays out.
Mets are apparently are trying to lose 8 straight after winning 8 to balance the cosmic scales or something. The number of games going into extra innings is getting absurd.
Well the weather is improving so I think outside is where I am going for a bit.
Also I can feel the coffee kicking in so Have a great day.
I am grateful for people who buy my husband’s books, comic books, and other things.
