B is for Banshee

No Comments »

B is for Banshee
An omen of Doom.
There’s no use in hiding,
Upstairs in your room.
See, a banshee won’t kill you.
That isn’t their style.
But Death will come knocking,
if you just wait a while.

Danielle turned to me earlier this week and said, “I was gonna make my Facebook status ‘Rolling a big katamari’ but then I decided most of my coworkers would think I was getting high.”

Lately I’ve been mulling over updating with tweets, but I don’t have a reliable phone or mobile device with which to tweet.  Also, I’m not sure my moment-to-moment thoughts are worth sharing, but everyone who’s thinking of tweeting says that.

I read The Regulators by Stephen King as Richard Bachman.  It was one of those odd King books.  I realized most of the time if I don’t enjoy a King book its because his ending was rushed or hollow.  Like he had a great idea but no resolution in mind when he started.  But then again he’s the most successful author in the world or something, so maybe I just need to be less anal about my endings and write as often as he does.

Addicting video games and cooking aside, the week’s been slow.  Work moves at a glacial pace, but once I get home the day zooms into bedtime territory.  I’d be frustrated if I wasn’t so frazzled.

I know! I know!  The last two Wednesdays you sat at your computer sobbing uncontrollably, your gut clenched around a cold pit of fear and confusion.  Where IS he? you asked yourself. What could have happened? I thought we had something wonderful, but he’s GONE!

Well I’m back, baby.

I’m posting this now as opposed to next Wednesday because I don’t want my failures to claim 3 updates in a row. As for an explanation, I can only say I was stupid.  I fooled around.  I thought I could get what I want from someone else, but now that I see what we have, what we share, I know I was an idiot to ever want more.

I’m referring to Mass Effect of course.

This is how the last two weeks went, basically:

Played as  renegade, didn’t cry for Kaiden when I let him die, and managed not to kill Wrex. Yay.

Read this in a day and loved it.  I wont say more.

Watched Danielle play as a paragon and scoffed at her, then played as a renegade and had sweet, tattooed lovin’.

It’s been a while since I binged on video games.  Some folks, in their college years, drank themselves into oblivion, but I would marathon games of various kinds, steamrolling through on the easiest setting so I could find out WHAT HAPPENS.  Since I put off purchasing a game until it costs as much as a Happy Meal as McD’s, I got a lot of “You haven’t played Halo yet???” because I knew what would happen.  the same thing that’s happening to me right now.

I played through two games in a row and now I need the third.  I NEED the third act, man.

This behavior wasn’t restricted to electronic games either.  Books series, pencil/paper RPGs, musicians, I have a problem with portion control.  I find something I like and then I DON’T STOP LIKING IT until my world is so full of it I can’t remember when it wasn’t around.

Maybe it’s best I don’t drink.

A is for Abominable

Footprints can show,
when a yeti’s in town.
They live in the mountains,
but sometimes come down.
They don’t need a muffler,
or snowshoes to roam.
‘Cause when you’re a Snowman,
the cold is your home.

Today was a snow day!  I was excited to have the day off and eagerly awaited the snowfall, to no avail:

It didn’t start until much later than anticipated.  So I sadly put down my mug of cocoa and got to work in the studio, like a good drawing monkey.

I used the time to reorganize and set up more of the scraps of paper and doodles I have lying around.  Some stuff I found is more than 5 years old.  I plan on leaving no scrap behind, and I’m probably going to turn every doodle, every icon, every note into something awesome.

I also saw Jason and the Argonauts for the first time, and couldn’t stop grinning at the skeleton fight.  How AWESOME was that?  I was completely blown away, and have begun to harbor a desire to animate.  I also got email from my wondrous coauthor regarding our rewrite-in-progress and must address these concerns.

Alot has been going on lately, but most of it has been good!  More letters in the alphabestiary are incoming!
