"Happy Birthday"Altered Images |
] |
I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to lack of interest on my part in posting, I get this way sometimes.
House of Shock cast meeting was Sunday, it looks like this year is going to be really good, and we were given some really cool information on what may occur this season, details pending.
A while back I sent a short story The Barrens to a UK magazine and they quickly responded saying they loved it but they had only a few slots and many submissions yet to read. The editor informed me that since the deadline for the next issue is June 29th, I should be hearing back in the first few days of July. I think of all "writer woes" its the waiting game that gets to me most.
We got the plane tickets to NY for October the other day, so I'm really happy that I get to see the family and stuff, hopefully there will be enough October goodness to keep us entertained (and may the weather be nice as well).
The novel I was working on, I'm afraid, had to be put aside, I had lost the story and am not quite sure how to get back to it, so it got cast aside and I started another, simpler novel. We'll see how that turns out.
And that pretty much catches me up.

"Crows"The Gothic Archies |
] |
Last night L and I went to see Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, a movie that I think I would have loved, had I been able to see or hear it. The theatre was filled with idiot teenagers who were screaming so loud and chatting on cellphones to the point where I heard maybe 20 minutes of the film. What's worse, every three seconds the theatre was filled with light from cell phone screens because people can't go two hours without sending a text anymore. (Have I ever mentioned how much I hate texting by the way) The final insult was the idiot behind me that, every time something happened in the movie, shoved his cell phone in my face so he could record it, meaning I saw absolutely zero of the horror set pieces. I have no idea what happened or why.
Oh yea, and before the movie even started the people behind me decided that "they aren't going to watch the movie anyway" so they read what happened online, which they discussed LOUDLY, ruining the ending for me.
Yea, maybe when the movie comes out on DVD I'll be able to see it...

Thank God for independent cinema. Last night L and I watched Eric Stanze's Ice From the Sun, a movie that I've been looking at for ages, but was never able to find without buying it, which I finally did.
Oh
My
Dear
God
Sure,the budget was around zero(which I expected) and the acting,while decent, was obviously of the "friends and family"varity,but man, what a deep, powerful and downright scary movie. There were two death scenes that made me flinch and one segment that gave me that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, you know the one, where you just saw something you wish you hadn't.
If you don't mind non Hollywood films (or if you're like me and prefer them) and have a strong stomach, check it out. I give it a 5/5.

"Spiritual Cramp"Christian Death |

Its odd to me that many people don't own VCRs anymore. I know DVDs are better, but c'mon, what about the excitement of finding some obscure tape that will roll and pop when you put it in? Especially when dealing with horror (and extra especially when dealing with underground horror) DVD just seems too sterile and professional.

"Cry for the Moon"Epica |

The novel stands at 7500 words now. I wrote 500 good (at least I think they're good)words today.
We got the t.v, and its a very nice one, I can't imagine how I've even played video games on an eight inch television up until this point.
That's really about it, just checking in mostly. I can't wait to see Voltaire next week. Also, American McGee has said that he is making a sequel to Alice which I also anticipate greatly.

"Generation Aliens" Lizzy Borden |
] |
I'm up to just over 7,000 words on my first attempt at a full length novel. This is now officially the longest thing I've ever written.
In other news, last night we went out to buy a new TV with L's birthday money (as we've been suffering with an ancient 8'' for years now). Alas, it seems that every store in Metairie was out of anything that was not either A. Beyond our price range or B. Too small and cheap to warrent a purchase. Hopefully tonight will bring us better luck. Our search last night was not helped by the fact that at some point yesterday I threw my neck out to the point where I was having serious dizzy spells and bouts of nausia throughout the day. I'm much better today, just a bit off.
That is all.

"Rocket" The Smashing Pumpkins |

L and I went to see Watchmen last night.
All I can say is... BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Seriously, this movie completly blew Dark Knight out of the water. Though I've never read the graphic novel that its based on, the movie managed to entertain me, disturb me, make me laugh and most importantly, make me think. I can't think of one negative thing to say about it.
