If global warming will make extreme weather that means the population will prolly be cut down. Less need for industry and a halt to global warming. Equaling out

Happy birthday to me!

Updates

I've updated My Bibliography over on Authors Den to show some of my best work, and delete dead links.

I've started submitting Letters of Introduction (loi) to a few markets. (Hey, I'm here. Look at me *Waves Wildly*)

I also added a new gameboard to Etsy. Alice in wonderland. Always loved that story.

Back to Writing

It's about time.
I've been working, off and on, on a couple of projects. "Curse of the Mermaid", (paranormal romance novel), and a few non-fiction pieces.

I published Top Five Tearjerkers: Movies that Make You Cry over on AC.

I'm also working on getting "Scarecrow" published. It's a horror/paranormal sort of story, and flash fiction, so placing it will be a little more difficult, but worth it.

School is out for the summer, and I've yet to decide if I will be returning for next semester. I do need to take three classes, but with work it's been difficult, and if I am going to devote more time to writing I may not have time.

I say give myself the summer to do the writing, and if I start to get some sales I'll hold off on the college for another year, until I can cut back on the "real" job.

So I tried something new for my Etsy. Some book marks with my artwork on them... They are kinda cute, and I like using them myself. They are a perfect size, and thickness. Don't bend the spines on my books or anything. Plus they stand up to repeated use a lot better since they are laminated.

Haven't sold anything on Etsy in a long time... but I at least had fun making them.

New Zombie Movie?

I'm a big fan of zombie movies, especially Resident Evil, and Shawn of the Dead... so wasn't it a fun surprise to meet not one, but 3 people who had just finished filming a zombie flick nearby.

The first one came into the Chevron and mentioned how hot it was. I asked if he was on vacation, and he said "No, actually we just got finished filming a zombie movie. Ya, I got to be a zombie and was killed three times."

Apparently he was working in the background, but they ran out of extras so they slapped some makeup and zombie bits on him, and killed him a few times.

The other two came in later. She had an ID from New York, and I'd never seen one before. They bend, which I thought was interesting. So I asked them if they were on vacation, and they mentioned working on a film as well.

"Oh, the zombie movie?" I asked.

They were a little surprised that I'd already heard about it.

I'll have to keep a look out for new zombie movies. I have no idea what it was called, though the first guy did say it was a major production, not just a fan film. I can think of several nearby places that would make interesting filming locals too.

Saw this at the truck stop the other night...

Evil Children

Evil children seem to be a running thing in many movies. Children of the corn, and Resident Evil come to mind.

I always loved this scene from Barbarella... Not only evil children, but dolls too. Makes me understand why some people HATE dolls.

So Tiered

Grave yard shift is rough on a person. I'm not sure why, but I've been getting even less sleep then usual. I suppose it doesn't help that this morning, instead of going home and crawling into bed, I met an old friend for star bucks....

Ah well, I'll survive... somehow.

My Favorite Food

As suggested by Monika Dubska

My favorite food? Well... I love food. Chinese, mexican, seafood...

I think my absolute favorite has got to be the Sea Food Borrito from Paradiso's I had back in North Dakota. That was simply amazing, with this wonderful white sauce, and filled with all sorts of sea food bits like shrimp and crab. Loved it. Never had anything quite as good since.

And it was HUGE! I usually ended up eating half that day, and taking it home to eat the rest the next day. Well worth the trip.
