Sunlight Sucks

I’m in a funk. Sorta. I have all this stuff “to do”, but I kinda wanna veg, if you know what I mean. Meh. I’ll have to ponder that a little. While I do that, you should check out this contest on My Space. You could win a shirt from me. Or even better, you could win the candle with the vampire bites. I love that one! Here’s some info on the prizes being given away in December at Bloody Kissmas. Now, here’s my gorgeous Marcus for this Monday… oh, baby, a younger Marcus with a scruffy chin and long hair. That is MY kinda guy! Hope you have a non-funky Monday! »View More

Gah! I have to go to work. I’ve been out of time for days! I’m one chapter away from finishing the sequel to the novella I sold. This story is longer than the first one and more involved. It does feature a scene with Karl the snarky elf in the beginning. He shows up briefly once more, and then there’s a scene with Corey, the hero’s executive assistant. Just like Karl, who is a little like our own Secondhand Karl, Corey is someone you know. See if you can guess who? First person to answer correctly in comments will win… something. I dunno what yet cause I gotta run...

How can I top the Marcus mosaic I did last week? I should never have done that. I just spoiled all the future Mondays. I do have a nice Marcus pic though. I thought perhaps something rather formal was needed since we do have the last of our awards to hand out today. So here’s Marcus in a collar, cuffs, and a tie. Hee hee. It’s just perfectly appropriate that the end of Blog Reader Appreciation Week should fall at the end of the Marcus Award contest. I’m just a giving fool! And for those of you who didn’t win something, there is still an open contest at this blog. No one...

I don’t like to have someone’s loss remind me how lucky I am. Yet, every day, where I work, someone is dealing with a loss. There are places in the park I don’t like to drive past, even if Motley is in the car with me. I never meant to have a career in an industry like this. I started out my real career (if I don’t count where I was working during college or the stuff I did before that) at the Starlight Children’s Foundation. The first referral I took was for a boy of 18 who had been turned down by Make A Wish. He was too old. He didn’t fit their criteria. The...

Before I give you the regular dose of Humpday Hotness, I have an announcement. I have my first winner in my Blog Reader Appreciation Week giveaway. Since I posted on Sunday, I tried 18 times to chat with a reader on my blog via Woopra. Eighteen times my “Hello” was ignored. Now, just so you know, I wasn’t paying attention to IPs. I was just looking for the big yellow number to go from 0 to 1 or more, then I’d click on one and send my cheery greeting. Today, while I was home nursing my double vision from my eyeballs swollen with allergies… I saw the yellow number...

Over at Shiny’s Takeout it’s Blog Reader Appreciation Week. Over here, where the sun doesn’t shine, I had an email from a well known blogger today who told me that I was appreciated. It’s also Sunday, Father’s Day, a day to show appreciation to your father or someone who has served in that capacity in your life. Since appreciation is the buzzword today, and is something near and dear to my heart, I have a word for you on this day to tell you how much I appreciate all of you: PRIZES. I’m piss poor so lots of prizes is something out of my price range. That being...

I think I’m out of words. I’ve been writing and talking (well typing) all weekend. I’ve been trying to help some new writers at the Bar. Also, the horse racing sim has a new message board and I had to go figure out all the moderator stuff. I watched the Belmont. Big bust there. Posted a couple of times at the Bar. Worked on some future posts for the Bar. Worked on a piece for the Z competition. Posted a riposte at JR Ward’s message board. Created a blog for the sim’s version of the Olympics. Listened to the BTR shows… Ack. I’m tired. That being said…...

It’s Monday so I bet you’re looking for Marcus, aren’t you? Either that or you’re thinking “What? More Marcus? Doesn’t this woman ever give up on the supermodel dude?” Well, I don’t give up easily. And I dislike disappointing you all, so here is today’s Marcus picture. How can you go wrong with Marcus nearly naked holding a guitar? I’m all out of whatever it is that drives me. It’s been too hot here, and I have company. I feel a little drained and not too humorous. Whoever thought up this global warming shit deserves to live in...

It was a wild, wild Sunday on Blog Talk Radio. In fact, it was fucking Fabulous! First, there was a 2 hour Snackie Radio live from Jester’s house in NoCal. It was a VERY wild show. You can find the podcast here. After that, it was Hilly on Fab’s show, which was really just a continuation of the zaniness from her show. Here’s the podcast for Fab’s show. Next up was Turnbaby, who is REALLY fucking Fabulous. All in all, it was a wild night of BTR shows… except that there was a finale to this night that started after hours. It was a true after hours show that started...

It’s been a tough day. I had a number of decisions to make. I’m not going to go into all of them right now, but suffice to say that this blog will be a-changing! Soon. Changes for the better. The downside is that you’ll all have to update your blogrolls because a new address is part of the package. Part of the changes coming to my “Batty” blog are due in part to the fact that I have weiners, er winners for you! Yes, the tagline search has come to an end. An unexpected end. Here’s the deal: I loved everything that was offered up. I couldn’t make up my mind....

This is a media day as well as a Marcus Monday! First off, the awesome Hilly from Snackie Radio had me as her guest on her show yesterday afternoon. Below is the podcast for the show, if you missed it. We talked about all kinds of stuff from writing about vampires, where I’m from, whether I’ve seen dead people at my work, and how I almost got karled or fabbed. We also talked about Karl’s junk, because um, everyone is talking about Karl’s junk. Thanks for having me on Hilly! (If you’re looking for the podcast, email me. I’ll send you a link.) The next little bit...

I like a good logic puzzle. I do not like it when I can’t solve something or when there is no way to solve it. So the Air France thing is driving me bonkers. It has spoiled CNN for me. I mean, they play the darned commercial every half hour it seems. And no one, not one of you out here, knows how to find this guy. I’m even giving away a fanged t-shirt and no one can find the winner. Maybe I need to give away the fanged clock, fanged pillow, fanged hat, or fanged boxers instead. What do I gotta give away to get an answer? *sigh* I’m so depressed over this. I hate it when there...
