"And nobody, nobody knows."

Today was going to be a day off. That was the plan yesterday. But it's not as warm as it was going to be, only the low 60s F, and it might rain. So, more work, instead. Also, I slept for shit, not finally succumbing until sometime after dawn. I think that part was my fault. Vicodin and Red Bull are not your sleepy-time combo. Felt awfully nice, though. Sort of like sex, without the grunting and secretions and funny faces. And it makes any MMORPG 47.3% more enjoyable.

Absolutely perfect Fringe season finale, which we didn't see until last night. I shall drop no spoilers, but allow me a hearty YES!. Thank fuck the show was renewed for another season.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,519 words on Blood Oranges. To understand where this book's headed, you also have to understand that the task I've set for myself is, if we speak in the Hollywood "high concept," what I think would happen if Joss Whedon and Quentin Tarantino set out to write a ParaRom novel together, one in which a demon slayer (who's also a heroin addict) is bitten by a werewolf, then turned by a vampire with a vendetta. Damn, there's a good title. Vampire with a Vendetta, directed by Robert Rodriquez. That would be the sleazier film adaptation. Anyway, yes. It's going well.

If you're a Sirenia Digest subscriber and would like to weigh in on whether or not I continue the "Question @ Hand" feature, I'll be watching the poll I started last night for at least a couple days more.

I think this will be fascinating to read.

At the very least, it won't be boring.

I somehow missed that you were taking action on your vampire/werewolf musings. This news makes me very happy.

Thanks for the Sunday morning giggle.

I've set goal to read my entire "to read" list before you write your next two novels. Because I want my full attention on the next release the second it comes out: To understand where this book's headed, you also have to understand that the task I've set for myself is, if we speak in the Hollywood "high concept," what I think would happen if Joss Whedon and Quentin Tarantino set out to write a ParaRom novel together, one in which a demon slayer (who's also a heroin addict) is bitten by a werewolf, then turned by a vampire with a vendetta.
Dude, I'm stoked.

You're welcome. I'd share the hangover, if I could.

Sounds fair to me.

I knew the Fringe finale would be perfect as soon as the title credits came up in neither blue nor red, but gray tones. It's been the subject of much discussion around here.

The more you share about Blood Oranges the more I anticipate reading it. It's already at the top of my Must Get Immediately list.

That was a fine touch.

Vampire with a Vendetta

I'd like to see Danny Trejo do a complex lead vampire role.

Wasn't he in From Dusk Till Dawn?

Oh, yes, he's played a vampire, but I think 'Machete' shows he could handle more complex roles.

Snort. "Vampire with a Vendetta, directed by Robert Rodriquez. That would be the sleazier film adaptation." made me laugh in spite of feeling like utter garbage (also insomnia).
