Newest Horror

Okay, in the midst of almost taking a new puppy, we decided maybe we should take care of our dog first. Seriously, in a house full of three little kids, the dog gets zero attention.

So, although she's been biting at her tail the last month, we chose to ignore it. She'd been attcked by some unknown animal upstate, and we just figured that was the problem. She 's not going to the vet unless she's half-dead.

Well, we caved and brought her yesterday.

Our worst nightmare was confirmed. The thing is infested with fleas. Yes, the dog at this point is being reffered to as "the thing".

My skin literally crawls when I think of the fleas in my house. The damned animal lies in my bed half the day!

So now begins the tedious cycle of bombings and sprayings to erradicate the bood sucking bastards.

So, adios puppy....hello, old flea-bitten hound.

The Wendy Williams Show

Okay, I have watched this a couple of times. I should be slapped for the return viewing. I do not understand how this is on prime-time .(okay, it's channel nine, I have no idea what the network is anymore. Nor, do I really care)
I thought Tyra Bank's show was cheese ball...but this one. It takes the proverbial (cheese) cake.
Little paper cut-outs of Kardashians...why?
Are these people that interesting...?

Is it me, or does Wendy have Carmella Soprano's accent?

I liked her better the radio, she seemed to have more edge. Her ragging now, is the same stuff we hear over and over again...about people everyone is sick of hearing about.

Come on, Wendy...get raw. This show isn't for you...you need late night.

NO WAY!!!!

Holy crap! I have a follower! Life is good...life is good.

Movie news!

Did I mention the wonderful Chris Keaton has decided to adapt my story, "What's Your Poison?" into a screenplay, and then try to get a short film deal! He sent me a copy of the screenplay and I was delighted. He didn't stray from the story, at all! So far, it's getting good reception at Zoetrope. Next stop Sundance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween

Okay, every year this is a dilemma. The costumes.
Okay, now, these kids told me they wanted to be Mario and Luigi...deja vu of two years prior when Jack refused to participate in the Halloween Parade because people laughed at his costume. The old "They are laughing with you, not at you" speech went absolutely nowhere.
So, here we are again. Me, thinking I'm the smart shopper, decided to get the Luigi costume ahead of the price hikes. This year, dammit, I would be prepared!

Well, he now he has decided to be Pikachu...
Great. Monkey wrenched thrown.

No matter what happens, the kid will be miserable in the parade...After 3 years of experience, I know what's to come. So this year, he will be sad Pikachu....
and now, I have to get rid of this damn Luigi costume, which btw hasn't arrived yet...

On top of all this, yes, this is alot, Johnny's dinosaur costume is in no way, shape or form going to fit him.

sigh


Did I mention story, "Smashng Pumpkins" has been accepted to House of Horror, Issue #6?...
yep. That makes me feel better.

I was accepted into The Dark Fiction Guild :) I am dark, really dark :)

Okay, so I'm excited...

One of my stories is being adapted into a screenplay for a short film. He is in the process of converting it now. Hopefully, he will be able to find someone to buy it :)))

Links :)

Here you will find links to some things that have been accepted. I encourage you to read all the stories on these sites, these people are good :)
