Oh lordy. . .
Got a text from one of my sisters this morning. She's been hiding a pregnancy and had the kid late last night. Now, I know this is pretty much all she's ever wanted, but she's a fucking shit-show who only knows how to latch onto disgusting abusive man-shaped creatures.
I want to be happy for her. Honestly, I'm worried. She was raised entirely by ( Read more... ) -
1982
I feel as though I've got back in time. I'm on every toddler's favorite ear infection protocol. Antibiotic drops are the stuff of my nightmares. They make my skin crawl.
This is just one of many reasons why I can't tell you how destructive the idea of preemies just being tiny babies is. I was born at 28 weeks. My upper respiratory system never got ( Read more... ) -
Pre-Loved Mermaids!
Dropped the basket off at Salvation Army this afternoon. Got the usual middle-aged Karen sneering at me as I grabbed the boxes of grubby dolls to see what I wanted. I looked her straight in the eye and said: If you want to know what I do with these, they all get cleaned, styled, decent clothes, shoes, and a comb. She got an eyeful up at the check ( Read more... ) -
FYC?
Last year during the Hollywood strikes, the WGA was on me about joining the picket lines. Since then, I've been getting a steady feed of FYC screening invites where they beg for my vote for industry awards.
I'm not a member.
I'm not a member of any of the Guilds, IATSE, nothing like that.
I've pitched a few things that were never picked up. That's ( Read more... ) -
Dollies!
I'm nearly done w/ my mermaid Barbies. I've got 23 done. I'm sewing 10 more tails so I've got a few on hand for whenever. The sewing machine I'm using for this project is going to replace my Morse b/c it does an excellent job w/ stretchy fabric. For a plastic princess it does a good job.
Hooray!

Good Vibes Only!
A couple of years ago, a talentless douchebag with too much money and a tiny dick self-published a shitty novel that's all about how his self-insert is autistic and that NEErooo-dyE-vErgant is an superpower!!!
The Amazon reviews reek of people (relatives, friends, co-workers) who felt obligated to say nice things. He's probably the type that gets ( Read more... ) -
Contrails
This is a story that uscathena commissioned many years ago as a bit of April Fool's fun.
Contrails
These days, sleeping was Luke's favorite activity after flying 747s between Los Angeles and London. It took him away from the absurdity of his everyday life. Who'd have thought it possible to want to sell one's soul to get back to a stinky dark swamp and ( Read more... ) -
Suddenly (1954) 4/5
This was a Sinatra film about a goon hired to assassinate the President during a whistlestop in a middle-of-nowhere California town on the route to LA.
Essentially, it's a hostage flick where Blue Eyes and his two minions have our protagonists (Widow, Father-in-Law, Boy, Sheriff, TV Repairman) held prisoner in Widow/FIL's house, the one with a ( Read more... ) -
Valley Girl Redux
