Sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.
And tonight the heart wants picante chicken ramen.
Oh, wait. That would be what the stomach wants.
I’m OK with that.
The scariest Hallowe’en story EVER
I’m writing the scariest Halloween story ever. It’s about a writer who writes the scariest Halloween story ever and dies just before hitting SEND.
Do the Plot Twist!
I may need to write a story sometime about a writer who inadvertently starts a new dance craze called the Plot Twist.
Sleep behaviors
Dogs twitch in their sleep sometimes. Cats extend their claws. I just had a demonstration of that by the cat who was sleeping in my lap.
Clash of… Clams?
I have been seeing ads on Facebook for a game called CLASH OF CLANS.
It makes me want to design a video game called CLASH OF CLAMS. Picture it: a sandy beach, and clams in competition with mussels, crabs, lobsters and starfish for ULTIMATE BEACH DOMINATION.
Embellishments
Summer floats a slice of cucumber in my water glass;
Fall, a red maple leaf in my dog’s water bowl.
Pinball wizards
I’ve figured this out. My cats are the pinballs in the pinball machine that is my house. Imagine a 15 pound furry pinball careening around, claws out, randomly knocking things over, and you get the idea.
Another road less traveled by
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And I took the one paved in brick to match
And that is how I wound up in Oz.
The Non-Essentials
I am now working on a script about the Washington shutdown called THE NON-ESSENTIALS, to star Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And Joe Pesci, who gets the line “I got your pink slip right HERE, pally!”
Make it last
You may be a redneck if you fix your worn flip-flops with duct tape because it’s October 3 and they don’t need to last much longer…
