I should watch it again to refresh my memory, but there is a scene in 'Pulp Fiction' where John "Vincent" Travolta and Samuel L "Jules" Jackson are sitting in the coffee shop, just before Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer come in to rob the joint. They are having a discussion about what Jules is going to do after he's done being a hitman (or whatever ( Read more... )

Here's a weird request. I enjoy writing my own murder ballads...that is, not about my murders, obviously, but about either invented stories or actual events. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share any strange stories that involve weird psychos or killers with me that you're familiar with. Again, I don't need real serial killers, maybe ( Read more... )

I really though I was doing some headway with my novel, I really did, until I started doing research tonight. Apparantly some folk believe 70-75k word count is the perfect size for a full fledged novel. From what I read, its the range that most agents are looking for. And where am I? Swimming in a whole lotta 20.5k. Darn. I need to bust some ass! ( Read more... )

Today the mall had an amazing deal on DVD's. HMV was promoting a 2 for 1 sale, where as long as you brought in a coupon from the paper, you could get a free DVD, as long as both had a white sticker on it. Obviously new releases were off-limits, but there were many holes in my collection that could be plugged up with some well-placed oldies. The ( Read more... )

I have had an amazing time in the past few days ( Read more... )

Woohoo, been having me some fun in my little scrap of the world. Nothing new on the job front, though the place I used to work at, Chapters Bookstore, is opening a branch in my neighbourhood and holding the job fair next month. Does that make me a lock? Heh, what a beautiful, naive world that would be. I think I might still give it a shot, now that ( Read more... )

Woohoo! Bruce Campbell is returning to my city! Coming straight to Chapters Bookstore around July 23 for his recent book-signing tour. With Dr. John playing out our local blues festivel, that's two celebrities I'll be seeing from a distance.

Be seeing you...

There is a good chance I have a messiah complex, but I do believe that every soul on this our planet Earth is worth something. One of my friends extolled to me the virtues of his theory recently, namely that a good 70% of the planets population is more or less "filler", who basically flesh out the stories of the more first tier, successful citizens ( Read more... )

Stand by me...yeah, melencholy enough :)

It's weird writing in this thing again. i still don't know why I bother to do it, but I feel deep down that it's important. Not so much that people read about my exciting and sexy adventures, but more for me just to get them out. Of course, if my adventures (not wholly too unlike Indiana Jones's own) do give you a modicum of enjoyment - hmmm... you ( Read more... )
