Mega death

[cornerofmadness]

That's the name of the sauce i shoved on my lunch, a mix of cayanne and habanero. Let me clarify. I have no actual lunch break on thursday. I usually drink a diabetic shake in front of the class. We also have a young student buying his way into our good graces by making lunch every thursday. Today he made a crock pot full of chili dogs. I am powerless in front of a Coney Island dog. i had two then and one later (bye bye diet). But since chili isn't hot enough, I grabbed the megadeath sauce. Saw a friend and broke off a piece of dog for them...i think I may have killed them with this. My stomach still isn't sure what the fuck I did to it but my brain is happy.

I love Big Bang Theory tonight (well not Bernadette's part). I had to tweet about it. I don't normally share my tweets since well i kinda find twitter pointless but here you go: @wilw and @BrentSpiner both on Big Bang Theory at the same time? My night was totally made. Mom called and said DID YOU SEE THEM? That was so funny. Old fan girls are the best. And I can relate, Sheldon. I still remember Adam West not showing up as Batman at a con in the 70's. I cried my little eyes out

check me out. I’m guest blogging It would be nice if you dropped in and see what these authors have to offer.

and check out this cool blog post on the use of the skeptic in fiction.

I still very challenged by getting this big bang up to word count with all else i have to do this month





Well not this, this was just a very cool tree monument



but the graves it watchs over are disappearing fast



The ground and the tree are conspiring



you can only read his first name

*LOL* Your poor friend.

I have a cousin who can eat Habanero's raw and never even blink. He/she has completely freaked out waiters numerous times doing this.

they're good stuff

Not according to my stomach!!!

For some reason I am continually fascinated by deteriorating graves. Those are always the ones I seem to gravitate to.

There used to be two little graves by the side of where the Loop 43 went through in Phoenix -- they've since moved them, and I still drive by there looking for where they used to be--I never stopped and looked at them, and I often wish I had. I can only assume they were left from when Phoenix was pioneer country, but I always THINK about these people...

(This is one of the many reasons I'm a writer.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i hear you. Obviously I share the fascination. A l ot of character names come off the tombstones

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I sometimes pull names from the credits of the shows I'm watching...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you can get some great ones there. i wish i could steal some of the odder patient/student names

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Just mix up surnames and first names.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have been known to do that.

A grave-eating tree monster! I wonder if it's kin to Charlie Brown's kite-eating tree.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is what happens when kite-eating trees go bad

Your lunch for today sounds quite yummy, but I feel sorry for your friend, haha.

I enjoyed reading your guest blog! Total agreement over research for historical fiction. I actually had done a couple historic novels and I would at least do some research. Too bad they're badly written and I already deleted them, LOL.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was yummy.

thanks. glad you liked them. Too bad about your stories. I love doing the research

That looks like Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette on that last stone. That's funny. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort it really does

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Trust me to notice that....

Good post on sceptics! ← We like to spell it like that in the UK.

I have your guest blog on paranormal fiction open and am going to dig into it on the train.

Re. Big Bang - I'm experiencing similar feelings of pressure. My new teaching schedule is kicking my ass and I'm not so great yet at setting aside time to write and getting back in the zone after the chaos of the house move (tho producing some fun small things for fmagiftexchange has helped get me back into the writing headspace, thanks ELD!). I was toying with asking to host a week of gsd_rtfn, aka Get Shit Done Right the Fuck Now. It's a weekly 'get your words on' cheerleading thing for people writing Big Bangs, check it out. Let me know if you're interested.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is and that looks so wrong, like someone misspelled septic

hope you like it

I totally understand. I was going to say it's good just to see you commenting again. I figured the move and the work were kicking your ass. I'm even having trouble with the gift exchange mostly because I have two other writing deadlines and one of those is a different gift exchange so....

not to mention I still haven't finished all my lectures for this semester in that new class and it's mid-terms. shoot me.

i'll check that out

I love Brent Spiner! I have only recently started watching BBT - normally I avoid network sitcoms like the plague, but a friend recommended it. I am a little on the fence about it so far, but I can see how it could grow on you.

That grave disappearing into the tree is kinda freaky. What would be really ironic is if the family of that person had planted that tree there, or even if they picked that spot so he could be under that tree. He's REALLY under it now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I love him too (oddly he was on another of my favorite sitcoms in the 80's). I love BBT and I can count on my fingers how many sitcoms I've liked in the last 30 years

it's very possible they did plant it or at least picked it. Nowadays you can actually have your ashes become tree fodder. My new plan for the parents. They seem okay with that

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

What other sitcomn was he on? He made a great guest appearance on Frazier (one of my favorite sitcoms. The hubs and I have been re-watching it recently, and I have been appreciating all over again how truly well-written and witty it was.)

I hadn't heard about the tree fodder thing - that makes a lot of sense. I'm sure it's cheaper by a long shot than the "make 'em into a diamond" option, too. *lol* I don't think anyone around here offers any kind of green funeral options. This area is so backwards.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

He played a recurring role on Night Court as a bumbling foreigner. And yes Fraizer/Cheers are on two of those fingers of mine.

Mom's still hinting about the diamond thing. I kept mentioning that if she likes Pawn Stars so much she might find herself in vegas one last time

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

Mom can get mineral immortality, AND her fifteen minutes of fame, all at the same time! What more could one want of the afterlife?!

I had forgotten about Night Court! Yes! He was great on that one, too - and a recurring role, whereas the one on Frazier was a one-off. It was such a great pairing, of him and Lilith, I almost hoped they would do a spinoff featuring them (as much as I usually loathe spinoffs.) I always loved Lilith's character anyway.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

she would be happy with that

For some reason I was thinking about Night Court the other day, no clue why.

Lillith was a great character
