I’ve never been a fan of clothes shopping. I hate it, in fact. Clothes serve a utilitarian purpose, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all. That means two things. One, I usually look like a bum. And two, I never spend extravagant sums of money of fashionable clothing. Well, almost never. My one vice
A couple days ago I saw the mock up for my novel’s cover. It is looking really great so far. I can’t say much about it, but it has exceeded my expectations. Hopefully pretty soon I’ll see a finished version, and not too long after I’ll be able to do the big reveal. Things are
It’s sort of like the Monster Mash, only when it’s over, prizes are given away, new friends are made, and more than one limb will be devoured. By me. I was on my near-daily trek of Google Reader when I stumbled over to Milo James Fowler’s site, where (to my surprise and delight) I found
They have a liquid center. Chewy on the outside, soft on the inside. How about a nibble on my little finger? It’s like a pretzel stick, only not as salty. One of the best parts of any holiday (for me anyway) is the food. Oh glorious ambrosia! Sweet and decadent morsels of the gods! *Ahem.*

I always manage *something* (usually a scarecrow and some wooden headstones), but the top-tier haunted house displays were always beyond me. In usually fashion, I went to the dollar store and bought some decorations That looked better in the bag Than

I used to simply grab three or four movies to watch on Halloween (or the night before, depending on my plans), but as the years have progressed, there are simply too
First, a short announcement: I received word today that work has officially begun on the cover art for my novel. Exciting news to be sure. Other than that very general news, I’m keeping the other information (like *who* is doing the artwork) close to my chest. And now back to your regularly scheduled program. It’s
Like many others, I went into this movie expecting something of a B-horror screamer. Instead, what I found was a comedic, theatrical play (with sets, lighting, and all) about love. Yes, there are demons. And the demons do have their moments of creepiness (I wouldn’t necessarily say any of it is scary though). Mostly they’re
I woke up this morning with an itchy ear. I shoved my pinky into the hole and worked it around, trying to relieve the tickling sensation, but it proved just out of reach. To the bathroom mirror I went, moving my jaw around as if trying to make my ears pop after a long flight.
Someone pointed out to me that I have been–quite unintentionally–posting every day of October so far. You might say, “Big deal, it has only been five days,” to which I might respond, “Shut up!” and stomp off to my sad chair. I’m not going to promise I will post every single day of October (like
