Southern Fried Chicas

On the weekend, I finally got around to watching Final Destination 3. I love this movie franchise; it delivers scares as well as laughs via the creative and outlandish deaths, and it’s so cheesy Velveeta should have product placement in every scene. But this final (heh) entry into the oeuvre?  Didn’t love it so much. [...]

Happy New Year! I almost forgot it’s the first Wednesday of the month. So what to blog about? I was drawing a blank and then I remembered something that happened recently. The other day on twitter someone asked what peeps did with e-books they knew they’d never read again—delete them, or have them archived (I’m [...]

Remember Susan Boyle’s magnificence performance on X-factor last year. I was reduced to tears every time I watched the video on You-tube and had to stop watching it because of that. Needless to say when her CD was released last week I was in the store toot sweet.  Now the singing on the CD is [...]

We green bin the organic matter and blue bin the paper, plastic, glass. Buy the big 5 liter bottle water instead of the case of 24 500ml bottles, and turn off the water while we brush our teeth. But how about writing? Do you re-use, renew, recycle there? I know I do. It usually goes [...]

It’s 9pm Tuesday night and I just realized I have a post due on Wednesday (today), so bare with me, I think I’m about to repeat myself here. What pulls you out of the story? I’ve been reading a romance, first time in a couple of months and I was (am) really enjoying it. So [...]

Apologies for this sorry excuse of a post. As usual month-end is crazy at work and I lost track of time. I woke up this morning are realized I needed to come up with a topic stat! Anybathering… In the last couple of weeks I’ve found myself vegging out in front of the TV watching [...]

Ahhh… l’amour, l’amour.  The language of love.  I’m not talking about French.  I mean the  particular words and phrases that  are used in romance. They’re familiar to every regular romance reading and work as short hand, signs or signals.  Some times they achieve the needed affect.. But sometimes they cause derision.  For every person that [...]

..with an electrified fooling machine.   Heh. Just had to finish the quote (TM The Simpsons)  I’m going to do a little riff on Raine’s most recent post about characters you’re not interested in reading.  Let’s talk about being given the ole switch’eroo characters.  A bill of sales, for a protagonist not quite what you expected. [...]

I got nuthin’.  It month-end at work, I just did a big push to get my wip done, and a to do list that I’ve been putting off and is now critical, plus my aunt cherry is in town. So here’s what I go.  A few weeks ago on Romancing the Blog, someone had a [...]

 Guilty Pleasures.   You know you should only have a scoop. Once and awhile. Preferable the low-fat version.   Yet you come across your favourite flavor in all it’s calorie busting glory and omg, someone’s deep-fried it, added chocolate sauce, sprinkles and whip cream!!  You should be sick just at the mere mention; your thighs should explode just [...]
