A 1930s movie in a 1930s Art Deco theater

I went to the Markay theater to see Frankenstein (1931, Boris Karloff). It was fun seeing it in the theater and it was free. All you have to buy is a snack. So I'm there thinking I have a kernel in my teeth only to realize I lost a quarter of my molar and swallowed it. Pout. Was talking to my brother later in the day, I lost the other quarter of that tooth. OMG.

Hopefully I won't have to wait weeks like last time just to get into the dentist (If so I might find a new one) I will have to have it temporarily fixed but the last time that lasted a couple years. I've already had one crown this year so I can't get another one until January. My teeth better stop falling the fuck out.


It would help if I didn't grind them into oblivion. I wish I could do more to reduce stress but with it looking more and more likely my university is going to fail, I don't think stress is going anywhere but up.

Anyhow I DO love that my little town has stuff like the Markay. That was fun. And I love that we now have a brew pub and a cool place to eat like Arch and Eddies where I was yesterday for a Birthday party.

I think someone doesn't want me to find those Buffy stories. I found two discs from ten years ago but both were corrupted. I will say I'm not too interested in joining the forums etc. They seem SO angry and I don't need that.

Writerly Ways

I Could Use Help! Seriously. I need 10 freaking blog posts about Blood Red Roulette. I seriously need ideas for them. I have THREE which I need to turn in tomorrow. I have Vegas as a setting. Luc's reaction to being in Vegas. Luc's homophobic family. ELD had some interview questions for Arrigo but I could use them for him and Luc. I know I need an Arrigo centric post. Being the villain is female, I don't want to use one on Eleni.

So the interview can be number four and Arrigo centric number five and me taking 20 years to write this can be number six. I still need at least four more and I need to be writing them now.

So what would you like to see from gay vampires in Las Vegas? Seriously, throw out anything. I would appreciate it. Might even have ARCs for the reading if you'd like one. Some of you have already read parts of Blood Red so help if you can!


Not a lot of links this week because I'm trying to get these blog posts done.
