What'cha doing? meme

I’m not sure where I got this. Oooh, I found it. I got it here!

What have you just finished reading?


Understanding Comics
A graphic novel discussing comics as an art form. An oldie but a goodie. Very well worth a read, and I plan to check it out again.

What are you reading now?

John Straley's The Curious Eat Themselves
It's a mystery set in Alaska. I basically read it during commercial breaks if there's nothing else on tv to switch to, so it really hasn't caught my attention.

What are you going to read next?

Homeplace by Beth Massie
This is a horror novel and one of those things that got onto my reading list but I have no idea where I heard of it. The first line goes like this: They waited until twilight to uncover the well.
I don't know much about it, but that line does have me hooked.

What have you watched this week?

I'm watching episodes of Spectacle, which is Elvis Costello interviewing musicians. I had no idea what an amazing singer Elton John is. Tony Bennett was fantastic because, while he was there for his own interview, he also actively showcased other musicians, bringing his own jazz pianist, whom he encouraged the crowd to clap for, and asking of Costello's wife could come up and play piano for him. I just finished the Lou Reed interview this morning. He also brought up another artist, this one a director who made a movie, Berlin, based on some of Reed's music.

What will you watch next?

The Magnificent Seven because I've been on a big Kurosawa kick and that's gotten me watching movies influenced by Kurosawa films.

Fic: She Eats Brains

Title: She Eats Brains
Rating: PG because sort of gross?
Note: Note: I'd started to write a demon. I'm not sure I succeeded but I did come up with a very creepy image.
Concrit: Please, in Comments
Disclaimer: They aren’t mine, not yet, but they will be… once I’ve taken over the world. Bwah-ha-ha!



She'll tell you, long before you're bound in her kitchen, that zombies, in the folklore, do not eat brains. Yes, zombies are depicted as mindless creatures but that doesn't mean they are inclined to feast on the thoughts of others. The story came out of Hollywood, based on a series of gruesome, unsolved murders.

Zombies don't even exist, not really. Yes, monsters exist but zombies, vampires, and werewolves are a far cry from what's really out there.

She's not a zombie, but she is a monster. She eats brains because she can cut open the skull and spoon out the brains while her victims still live. She eats brains to hear the screaming.

Putting on the Ritz

I'm not sure why he's carrying a light saber, but I do like the awareness of poverty in this video. It seems even more relevant today!

The people chasing after the falling money remind me of a job I used to have. When I bussed tables, there was one guy who would give tips to the bus”boys”. The other two bussers I worked with would circle that table like sharks, ignoring the other tables. For a $1 tip, which could buy, maybe, two candybars back then. I honestly never did understand why.
