two girls on a moth

Yesterday, I did 857 words on "Bradbury Weather" and thoroughly rewrote the pages I did on Thursday. That brings the total up to 1,669 words thus far; I expect this to be a long story. Yesterday, it required me to spend some considerable time researching Spanish profanity, specifically from Panama and Puerto Rico. Oh, and I got an e-mail from Bill Schafer at subpress threatening my life if I dared to change the title, so I guess that I shan't, as Spooky is rather fond of my life. I will try to do a solid thousand words on the story today.

It's a peculiar piece, a little Raymond Chandler, a little Zane Grey, a little Philip K. Dick.

Did I mention Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on the Cartoon Network? It's my new favorite television show, after Farscape. I think I have a crush on Frankie. It wouldn't be my first cartoon crush.

Last night, Spooky, Jennifer, and I watched Hellboy on DVD (I saw it at the theatre, loved it, and have been waiting on the DVD to see it again). This DVD contains one of the absolute best "making of" documentaries I've ever seen, as well as a few missing deleted scenes and such. But the documentary was great. Afterwards, I played a couple hours of Crimson Skies (I have reached South America, after that Maria tralk betrayed me), but managed to get to sleep at the relatively reasonable hour of (roughly) 3 a.m. I woke to The Rebirth of Mothra. Jesus, Moll and Lara freak me out. If only they wouldn't sing.

Don't forget the HUGE eBay auction, now in progress. And because Saturdays are slow and every book we sell is one less book we have to move to the new place, from now until midnight tonight (midnight Pacific, 3 a.m. EST), every "Buy It Now" purchase will get you the free Nyarlathotep CD plus a free monster doodle.

And now I should go. Brush my teeth. Exercise. Write. You know the drill.

Just wanted to point out that the extras we're offering apply to everything we have listed. I may be listing a few CDs later today, with an option to "buy it now", so watch out for those.
But first I must gather ingredients to stew.

Well, I am Puerto Rican and use frequent profanities, so...

I found the best ever "making of" documentary to be Highlander: Endgame's. Not because it was so informative, but because the producer (I think) in the director's chair with the blue Solo cup that must have contained Miscellaneous Very Strong Drugs was quite so funny.

Aw, crap. I bid on Threshold (and am so far the winner) and didn't see I could do the buy it now for Threshold lower down on the list.

Someone outbid me so I can get the other copy!!

Uh... sorry! I bought the Buy It Now one. Unless there's another.

Here's what you do. Simply retract your bid and buy another copy.

[hewet-ka-ptah.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'm not seeing where to retract my bid. 'Sides, so long as I get the book, I'm cool. Just felt like a DOLT for not seeing the other copy at Buy It Now so I could avoid waiting with baited breath to see if I am the Winner.

I only caught about 30 minutes of the premier movie, but I liked what I saw a lot. And yes, Frankie is sexy as frell. (I find myself wondering if she'll turn out to be imaginary... I could see someone dreaming up a friend like her).

Hmmmm. I hadn't thought of that.

Ah--that reminds me: If you need any more copies of the _Spirals_ EP for the eBay auction, just let me know....There are quite a few more here at the Lab, and you're welcome to as many as you like!
