I'm drinking some big ass glasses of local ( cheap ) wine while working on the outline to my next book and would like to ask a favor of my fellow idiots. If you've read my book, can you take a moment to go to Amazon and leave a review? Unless you hated it of course. But I'm trying to bulk up the reviews which not only help people decide to take a chance on an unknown author, but apparently the more reviews a product has, it increases the visibility to people just browsing Amazon. I appreciate the assist. Here's a little thank you: Spoiler [SPOILER/]
I have to laugh at the people freaking out about the postal system being overwhelmed by possibly sending and receiving one ballot per person when they seem to be doing just fine with the 16 election ads that were in my mailbox this morning.
Zeta is now a tropical storm, and also we're apparently on Z's now? Forecast to become a hurricane in the gulf, still aiming at NOLA mid next week.
The greek alphabet doesn't go that way. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, ZETA, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega
I JUST GOT HOME, GOD DAMN IT. We have like 1100 people working on Laura/Delta, and if I have to go right back....
sounds like a tropical storm or low category hurricane when it hits so shouldn’t be too bad, but the area it’s supposed to hit (NOLA in the center of the cone) has already gone 12 rounds with mike tyson so anything at this point is gonna suck tldr: you’re not gonna be home for long
This is one of the reasons I love home, every now and then you get to take a bridge into an ominous cloud.
Every damn vacation we take, we bring rain with us. 2017 - San Diego - 3 days of rain 2018 - Las Vegas/Utah/Arizona - torrential downpour that flooded some parking garages in Vegas and had to reroute some driving due to a snowstorm. 2020 - Longer vacation in Virginia, so we're dragging a whole hurricane from the gulf up here I mean, wtf? Next time I'm going to plan according to the largest wildfire and head there. Maybe I can use this power for good instead of evil.
I made a vat of bean heavy chili and a plate of deviled eggs. I can already smell the impending farts.
I testing harsher horror movies on the daughter this October. The 1978 Halloween got a big approval. “Scary, just not as scary as Jaws.” Tonight an 80’s cheese classic I love: Silver Bullet. A horror movie that for some reason is (as a film) not very good yet is always very watchable and fun. And that “wheelchair” made us all wish we were crippled for a for an hour or so.
She watched poltergeist three years ago. Exorcist... nah. She’s twelve, she can watch that with her friends at a slumber party like all kids do. I’m not “explaining” scenes in that film to her. “The Gate” is up for tomorrow. It’s the most perfectly-designed horror movie for kids ever, because it throws in everything but the kitchen sink. And stretches a $2 million budget like no film ever has.
