Rott and I watched the Hangover last night. We’d seen it before, but it’s funny and we needed a mindless laugh. The movie did make me think about memory and all the stuff that’s in our heads. When I speak with someone I’ve known for years and they bring up something from our collective pasts, I’ve noticed that sometimes I don’t remember the event right away. The other person has to say, “Oh, but don’t you remember that we did this…” Then they give some details and the memory comes crashing back to me. I find this happening more and more.

This is a goulash post today, a little bit of everything. My brain is a little too fried to actually come up with a topic to discuss or yak about so I figured I’d just let it wander from topic to topic as I ramble on.
Memes
Okay, so I got tagged for this Bald Face Liar game. Originally, when I first saw this meme on a few blogs, I laughed because a couple of the authors who were playing really are bald faced liars so I found it rather ironic. I never did do memes well and I prefer the truth even with regard to games so I doubt I’ll play. My friend Lisa is playing though, so if you...

Can you believe I had a blog post for today all set in my head on Saturday? Rott said something, a “Can you believe…?” thing, and we were both laughing and I said, “That’s my blog post for Monday!” and we expounded on it… and… Um, yeah. I can’t remember it. So I guess my post is Can You Believe I Forgot My Blog Post?
It will probably come back to me when I’ve stopped trying to remember what it is. The sad thing is, I know I should write shit down. Not only am I getting older and more ADD by the day, but I juggle a lot of stuff. Not just...

Maybe I need to sneak some of Rott’s Visine. Or maybe I need to not work so hard.
I wrote yesterday. I was a tad on fire for awhile. I napped too but when I awoke from the nap I was on fire again. A whole helluva lot of words later, I went to bed. It was 1 am.
I’ve done the late night writing gig before. I don’t do it as well this year as I did last year. Must be an age and stress thing. Or it could be a Daylight Savings time thing. What a crock of shit DST is anyway. I don’t have to reset the time in my car with a pen because yanno…I never turned the effing thing...

Ever get a song stuck in your head that repeats over and over for days and weeks? That would be me right now. It’s a great song but sure as hell does not go with the novel I’m working on, which makes things really difficult for concentration. My word count is down. My stress is up. I played the new Alice in Chains all weekend hoping the song would go bye bye. I’m sitting here typing and found myself unconsciously humming the damn song again! I even made a video with it, thinking I’d get tired of it like I usually do with any song I make a video with. No dice. Still playing.

At work we have a form called the Make Up Time form. It’s for those days when you’re late back from lunch or you leave early or come in late from a doctor’s or other appointment. It basically lets you work a little OT to make up for the time you were gone. It works at the office, but in your daily life… no effing way. Once the time is gone, it’s just gone. (Time is… fleeting… madness… takes its toll. HEH That was for ZAM.)
Trying to make up for lost time never happens and just frazzles us and places undue stress on already stressed out nerves. Yet,...

This Monday I’ve got some quick stuff to get to… then a Marcus!
Thanks to everyone for their emotional support. Whether you comment or not, I always know you’re there. I love you people.
If anyone knows of someone in SoCal who can help the babies get a home, please let me know. There are photos and info on Craigslist.
Holden still needs votes to overtake the 2nd place het hero at TRS’ Hero Competition. You can vote once a week with every valid email address you have. It would be such a coup for the non-het hero to do well in this. You can cast your vote HERE.

So I’m in deadline hell. I have to have this manuscript done by this coming weekend. I’m at 23K words and 30K is my target. I made some real progress this past weekend, but if Wednesday through Saturday had been like Sunday… well, this thing would be done. I’m not sure why this story has been difficult. I’m going to have to look at that once it is complete and sent to my editor.
Today, I’m playing hooky from hell. I have some other things I need to do after work, so the manuscript will have to wait. I have to reprogram the scoring program for my horse racing...

I can’t do a year end recap. I suck at recaps unless I have a gimmick like the time I posted the 22 funniest comments on my blog. I loved that post! Besides, my one year blogiversary is coming up and if I do a recap now, I’ll just be doing one again in a few weeks and regurgitating stuff you didn’t want to read the first time around. Now, if you want a good blog recap of the year, go read Dave’s. The one about the “Don’t You Know” girl had me in tears from laughing. And the one about Henry had in me in tears for another reason entirely. If I wore a hat,...

This is gonna be a jam packed week for me. Two days at work and then it’s time to turn on the overdrive to finish The Wise Guy by next Monday. I’m just under 10K words so it’s doable if I don’t procrastinate.
One thing that will keep me from writing on Wednesday though is that I’m the guest at one of the Yahoo groups I belong to. It will be my first ever official author chat. People will be asking me about my writing, the books I have coming out, and all sorts of things. You are all cordially invited to drop by and grill me if you like. The chat takes place in email...

You tell me, is it naughty or nice to look at these hotties on Christmas Eve when you’re on the brink of hanging out with family and/or friends? I mean really, if they get you wound up, won’t you then just sit through the festivities gritting your teeth, waiting until the moment you catch an O and get some relief? I’m teasing of course. All of you have much more willpower than that!
If I were to take stock this year, I would say I’ve been more nice than naughty, but I’ve had more naughty thoughts than usual. Take for instance, seeing a photo of the luscious Jason...

I’m feeling the Christmas spirit and no it’s not just the rum in my hot spiced cider, although that helps tremendously. I’ve had karma pay me back some good things this holiday season. I’ve had a few crappy things happen too, but I kinda figure that the crappy stuff is the stuff that always seems to dog my footsteps anyway. The good stuff was just weird and uncanny and made me feel really good about being an unselfish person.
So, since I am not selfish, I bring you yet another day of holiday hotties. Now, if you want my private stash of holiday hotties (the cumshots in Santa...
