First, see this halloween costume?



There's a bit of controversy over it. Here's the article.

I seriously think people have a major stick up their ass. I remember doing something like this when I was in junior high. It was funny.

I lived in southern California then and there was the same problem with immigration then as there is now. I don't think anyone was offended, and that included my best friend and her family who happened to be Mexican.

What's your take on it? You can state whatever you want. I won't bite your head off. I just want to hear someone else's opinion on it.

And on a lighter note (or not, depending on what you think of horror anthologies), I just discovered FEWDIO.com. Here is their youtube channel.

The shorts run anywhere between one and a half minutes to just a little over six. (one, titled 'Marie' runs for about 11 minutes).

It's just a little bit of 5 minute heaven (well, hell, to be truthful) in every short. some are dumb and some are brilliant.

This one is one of my favorites, just for the last line alone (the punch line if you will). Oh, and check out the cthulhu statue on her nightstand at 4:13. LOL!



I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I am actually not a fan of gore. I like a good suspense mixed in with my horror and then the punchline to be hard hitting. Some of these shorts understand that and rely on that and it works. Some don't and they fall flat on their face. And some have to have just a wee bit of gore in them in order to convey what is going on. The ending just makes me laugh at the irony of the conversation she had just had.

Okay, when I'm caught being wrong, I'm man (or woman) enough to admit it.

I might have jumped the gun a bit yesterday.

Apparently during a Larry King interview, the boy might have let it slip that this was 'all for the show.'

I'm not sure. I didn't see the interview but I heard that the father went a few shades of white.

So if this was a hoax, shit, I don't care what they do to them (the parents). This just makes it all the harder later when a kid really does go missing.

I guess my emotions ran away with me yesterday because it had to do with the disappearance of a 6 year old boy and I just wanted everyone to shut up with the speculations.

Now it looks like the speculations were true (I think - I'm not saying anything more until I get the whole story and the actual facts).

Like Barnum said, 'there's one born every minute.'

I usually pride myself on not being one of those people, but yesterday, I had been born again. LOL!

Although, I wonder if P.T. would have appreciated the complexity of this one?

Ahhhh!!!! *pulls hair out*

God, I really do hate people sometimes!

Have you seen the news today? The major headline today was about the little 6 year old Colorado boy who had floated away in their mylar balloon.

He was found.

Article

Yes, he was FOUND.

I repeat. He was FOUND!!!!

I'm putting that in all caps because this is a GOOD thing. A very very GOOD thing.

I really shouldn't read people's comments but I do. I'm drawn to it like a moth to flame. Like a big gullible, stupid moth to a stinking hot flame.

But I do.

First people were talking about how the parents should be investigated. That maybe the kid didn't climb in the balloon and that they did something to him and are now covering it up. They were talking about how they were a bad family and CPS should be knocking at their door. They talked about how the father had anger issues, blah blah blah. Only a few people said I hope this kid is found and everything is okay. Stop blaming the parents. Isn't it enough that what they're going through is horrible as it is.

I concur.

Now! now, the kid has been found and you would think people would be laughing about it. He was scared. he knew he was in trouble and was HIDING. LOL! But oh no, people have to come out and start talking about billing the parents for the search and rescue efforts. About how this might be a hoax, blah blah blah.

They're even talking about how they should charge them with criminal charges and take the kids away.

Hello! First off, the parents denied it and the rescue workers are agreeing that the parents really were worried about their son.

I'm just so fucking pissed off right now.

All this speculation and the kid was hiding. People should just be relieved and leave it at that.

And yes, I do have a point. Unless it was an orchestrated hoax, and I saw the father and mother on tv, they had not been acting, then yes, a different coarse of action should be taken.

But even when people said it probably wasn't a hoax, the parents should still be billed had me REELING. So let me get this straight.

If you have a kid and he/she goes missing, you better be damn sure that the kid is no where else because if you even call the police and they start a search and rescue effort, if the kid is found alive and there was nothing to worry about it the first place (which in my mind, stupid I know, is a GOOD thing), then the parents should be billed...for doing what they should be doing! Doesn't this mean, that if you start up this very DANGEROUS precedent, that people might not report their kid missing for longer?

*mutters profanities at the public*

Sorry if this is a big jumbled mess...

I couldn't wait for the DVD version (well, let's be honest, the only version of this movie as WB didn't release this gem in the theatre) of Trick 'r Treat.

Patiently I passed the time until the movie came out with things like, you know, RL and whatnot and then the day finally came! The movie was finally released!

I thought about actually not watching it as the hype may have been
just that, hype. But oh how I was wrong...:)

( My review because I was a little long-winded )

I just posted on Facebook about Curriculum Night but I'm limited to 420 characters.

You know me. I'm so freaking verbose.

So yeah, if anyone is looking for a Victoria Secrets model, she's teaching Donovan's kindergarten. She's seriously cute, a real sweetie, does her job well while taking an interest in each kid's learning and loves Donovan.

Direct quote: "He's so precious and well-mannered and polite. I just love him."

So there you go. :) And he of course loves her. I started off the visit by letting her know she was now his new favorite person.

You guessed it. Out came the face tilt and the happy face with the adoring eyes. Still I like her and this is the kind of teacher you want for your kid's first year.

Rowan's 3rd grade teacher reminds me of...oh you'll love this...Mia Farrow. But not Rosemary Baby's Mia, but Woody Allen days' Mia. Still, if she ever gets pregnant and cuts her hair, I'll...well, I'm not exactly sure what I'll do. Squeeing seems childish and inappropriate. But it would be very cool. I like her too. She seems to have a handle on the kids while being pleasant at the same time.

I saw one of her teachers that has been helping Rowan in reading since first grade. We're pretty close now. She was letting me know how well Rowan was doing and that one day, she told Rowan she was so cute and sweet, she wanted to take her home with her.

LOL! Rowan said, 'but I have a home. And mom would come looking for me.'

We both had a good laugh about that.

Because the thought of me, looking for Rowan, bearing down on anyone who would take her, is not really funny, but kind of scary.

You know, like horror movie scary...

I can almost hear the movie trailer guy's voice for the movie. LOL!

Oh! And I mentioned this to sevigny I think. I met the mother of one of Rowan's classmates and she's a female Viggo! I walked into Rowan's classroom and there she was! Sitting in the chair right next to the one I would have to sit in. Our kids share the same table.

She looks at me (and she was wearing this lovely burnt orange sweater, the clone of one I had almost bought and this wonderful scarf - which I had almost worn myself) and says, 'oh hi!'

We chatted politely but it was so hard to look at her for too long, especially in the eyes.

Can a woman be so strikingly handsome that it's hard for you to look at them for too long?

Anywho, a good night all around.

Next up - Griffon!!!

Okay, I know I'm posting like mad right now, but...

Oh. My. God!!!!

I absolutely fucking love this new keyboard Joe got me!

It's amazing. I used to type this fast but then I slowed down because of the laptop and then he switched me to the imac and that keyboard slowed me down even further. But this...

It's so FREEING!

I feel like I've taken 30 caffeine pills or drank 10 coffees! I talk super fast after I do that (well, more like 3 coffees).

This is the same thing. I think I could actually write again now that the keyboard issue has been resolved.

Oh my God...

I've been having fun on Facebook lately.

I've actually hooked up with some people from high school.

Which is weird.

I left that place back in 1981. I left a lot of places behind. And now it seems to be coming back to me.

Like old high school friends and a person who I worked with at my first real job when I graduated from college (he was also my best friend in the last few years of university).

I think this is a good thing...

I don't know. I'm just such a different person now. Anywho, I posted some pics there but I thought I'd post them here too. :)

A few pics of our summer (most of them are of Rattlesnake Lake which is right near our house). We spent about 3 days out of the week at the lake (especially when it was uber hot).

( pictures of the kids - well, 3 of them at least )

So there you go.

And once again, if you would like to join me on Facebook, which really is a different animal than here because you can only put one or two sentences there, then give me an PM or let me know here and we can play together there.

Here's that zombie fic I promised.

I'm just on one of those horror kicks. And no, this is not crack.

It's angst. Like to the power of 10.

Title: And now, here, at the end of it all
Pairing: Brian/Justin (natch)
Summary: Based on the movie Dawn of the Dead. What would be the one thing the great Mr. Brian Kinney would regret the most when faced with his own mortality?
Rating: R
Warnings: It's a zombie fic - character death
Timeline: Between Season 4 and season 5

Disclaimer: I do not own the boys. Cowlip does. I do not own the idea of the flesh eating zombies from the Dead movies that can be taken down with one shot to the head. George Romero does and oh how we love him for that. :P







( I repeat, this is not crack - you have been warned )

Remember last year, how I spent the whole day of my birthday in the ER because of Alex?

( Joe and Maria's excellent ER adventure )When I was home by myself, after visiting hours, and I couldn't sleep (you would think I would have hit the pillows and not emerged till the next morning but my constant worrying might have had something to do with not sleeping - after all, I am quite attached to Joe you know) I was writing.

Horror.

Because that's what I do when I'm in a dark mood.

I wrote three standalones - each one with my OTP.

A zombie fic with Brian and Justin, a ghoulish one with Sean and Orli and another one - a Lovecraftian kind of thing - with Orli and Sean.

I might post them. I don't know. You might lynch me if I post the Brian Justin one and you might commit me if I post the last one I mentioned. LOL!

So that's where I've been.

How's your week going?

Hello there.

As you might have guessed (well, probably popped up in your email), it's my birthday today.

*sigh*

( cut but its not really that long )

I have joined facebook. If anyone would like to be my friend there, please comment below with your email so I can invite you or send me a private message if you wish not to disclose your addy.

I would like to thank 1islandinthesea, fansee and spike7451 for my virtual birthday gifts. That was so sweet of you guys!!! *kisses*

I'm getting around to responding to any comments that I received for the past two months and also to any birthday wishes.

I hope to get enough energy going to start writing again. Seriously, my brain is just plain tired.

And remember, soylent green is people.

So I just saw this movie Friday night and I have so many questions and thoughts regarding it:



If you have a chance to see it where you live (it's like playing in one theatre per city), SEE IT!!!

Like I said, I still have thoughts and concerns about some of the plot. If you have seen it and wish to talk about it, send me a private message. I don't want to get into it here because of the spoilers.

Hubby and I are still talking about it and have come up with all these different scenarios.

Seriously, if you are looking for a movie to watch, GO SEE THIS!!!

I hope everyone's 4th of July was good for them. We usually have a 5 to 6 family gathering with a HUGE picnic and fireworks my hubby buys. He puts on quite a show. This year, because a BIG family illness with my neighbor and because the flood took out most of their grassed in area, my family just kept it to our property and ourselves.

We still set off mortars and some huge fireworks, (with the little fireworks for the kids to play with) just not the usual but it was kind of nice all the same.

And now regarding my opening topic, I will be in New York around the last week of August for anyone who might be interested in getting together one day. Just a thought.

Being a child of the 70's, I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and all of the other pop sensations that came out at the time.

With his sweet voice and killer smile, Michael was one of my favorites.

I enjoyed his new look and sound in the 80's, but his persona from the 70's will be how I always remember him.

And here is my favorite song that he performed for the horror movie Ben:



Hope wherever you are, you finally have the peace you wanted.

Here is the sixth day of the Brian/Justin "Where should we fuck next?" series.

( Old men and their war stories )

So this Where will they fuck next series seems to be a big hit. LOL!

I've got lots of ficlet ideas so don't worry, more stories are coming. I might even get to post one tomorrow morning after all. So go me!!!!

I need to get me one of those internet wives. I finally finished responding to all my feedback. No - I don't want someone who'll answer my fb - that's just wrong.

It's updating my fic list and memories that's a bitch. LOL!

Actually, maybe it's not a wife, but an admin.

I still feel weird. Daughter #2 is graduating tomorrow and I feel...I dunno...not old, just as if it's all passing me by.

Don't get me wrong. I spend lots of time with my family so I don't feel like I need more time, it's just the passage of time that's getting to me.

*gets more into my belly button*

*sighs*

EDIT Duh! I almost forgot - here are the prompt words altogether! LOL!

( All the words given to me so far )

That's quite a list! I'll probably use more than one sometimes like I did on day 3.

Here is the fourth day of the Brian/Justin "Where should we fuck next?" series.

The prompt is 'boat' supplied by girloftheburbs.

Also, for now, I'm not taking any more prompt words. I'll work on the ones I have so far. If I need more, I'll open it back up again.

I will respond to all the rest of my feedback from yesterday (and of course today's feedback) sometime today. I have quite a busy morning ahead of me but I still wanted to post something. :)

Also, I might not be posting anything tomorrow.

Megan will be graduating from high school, you see. *sits proudly in front of computer and beams*

That's two down and three to go. *gets tired all over again*

( A night at the park )

First off, I just came back from seeing Terminator: Salvation and I actually really liked it! It made me nostalgic for the first Terminator movie though. I even liked the kid they got to play Kyle Reese (still, no one will ever hold a candle to Michael Biehn).

Also, I will finish getting to all the wonderful fb from my latest chapter of Justin's Baby.

Okay, so here is the help I'll need.

It's very interactive as in I'll be asking you all for prompts. I want to write a series of very short ficlets (not drabbles as I can never keep to 100 words). I can do one a day, and since they'll be short, I can churn them out pretty quickly.

The reason?

They help me think better and I can edit the stuff I already have written (my sci fi fic and Justin's babY).

So from all my BJ people - and didn't that sound just a wee bit dirty - I need you to supply me with one or two words. No story ideas, no plot lines. Just a few words.

My story idea is based on little game Justin wants to play with Brian during Season 3 when the backroom is closed (during Stockwell's little reign of terror). Justin and Brian need to come up with a different place to have sex every day. This will go on for a month. So go ahead.

Supply me with one or two words here and I'll write a VERY SMALL FICLET around that word. It's not just a challenge to see where Justin and Brian will have sex next, but for me to come up with something clever based on the word.

And of course, which ever word I use that day, I'll give the person who said it originally credit. Duh...

And I will write something. I can do this while doing my paperwork or working on inventory status.

So ready, set, go!!!
