Well, not quite. Oh, how I wish.
But! Movie #4 was Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf, shown at the Alamo Drafthouse with Sybil Danning in attendance. This may or may not be the best of the Howlings, but it is definitely the most hilariously awesome, being full of Chris Lee and Sybil Danning (and her breasts) and more gratuitous werewolf sex than you can shake a stick at. These things make up for a lack of all characterization and any sort of plot follow-through.
And now I have Sybil Danning's autograph. We would all like to look so hot after 60. I really want to go back tomorrow night to see Chained Heat, but it's a midnight show and my need for sleep may prevail.
I really need the song from the HII soundtrack, though. It would be such a highlight in my collection of 80s cheese.

Jul. 14th, 2008 10:48 amJust a reminder--today is the last day to bid on anything at
livelongnmarry.
Also, my bonus f-list offer still stands: If you raise or donate $50 through the auction, I'll give you character art for free. So far only
matociquala has taken me up on this, so I have two spaces left. It won't happen quickly, mind you, but it will get done.
I've fallen off the picnic-march wagon, but maybe I can catch up today. It's a slow wagon.

Auction reminder
Jun. 30th, 2008 03:13 pmBidding at
livelongnmarry starts tonight/tomorrow at 12:01 AM Pacific time, July 1st.
I'm offering a website, a fictional death, and character art, all of which can be found here. And there's a ton of nifty stuff by people way cooler than me, too.
Also, I have a bonus offer for anyone on my friends list who's buying or selling:
If you buy OR sell $50 worth of something, I'll give you character art for free, for the first three qualifying people who want any. This will happen after anything I do for auction winners, so it may take a while, but it will get done.

Jun. 20th, 2008 11:38 amI think I'll spend the day working on a book that is Not The Book I Should Be Writing. Because, as Warren Ellis put it:
"Eventually, you get a critical mass of information. Datum 1 plugs into Datum 2 which connects to Datum 3 and Data 4 and 5 stick to it and you’ve got a chain reaction. A bunch of stuff knits together and lights up and you’ve got what’s called “an idea”.
And for that brief moment where it’s all flaring and welding together, you are Holy. You can’t be touched. Something impossible and brilliant has happened and suddenly you understand what it would be like if Einstein’s brain was placed into the body of a young tyrannosaur, stuffed full of amphetamines and suffused with Sex Radiation."
And that does feel pretty damn holy, so it seems the thing to do.

Because my brain is totally inundated with Hammer films, and because it got good reviews, today the boy and I went to Austin's Romanian restaurant, Drakula. I am now very full of the blood of innocents good goulash and apple strudel.
And while we were in there, we heard three different remixes of the Numa Numa song. Seriously, how fabulous is that?

May. 15th, 2008 02:44 pmWell, except Massachusetts. Wooo!
And I sent that v0 (orange) that's been my bane for the third time today, which I think means I've officially kicked its ass. I'm also two holds away from sending another v0. Since it's a much steeper overhang, I'm pretty happy with that.
I also need more climbing shorts or capris. As I feared would eventually happen, today the hems of my too-long yoga pants actually slipped over my shoe and cost me a hold. That would be such an embarrassing way to kill oneself.
My hands are very scary right now, in a revenge of the curse of the son of the mummy's hand kind of way. I wonder if I'll ever have a full layer of skin on my palms again.
Now I have to scrub the chalk and sweat off and figure out what I'm wearing to the show tonight.

Jan. 11th, 2008 04:23 pmFirst Knut, and now another baaaaaby polar bear in Germany. I suspect he dreams of chomping the loud monkeys with cameras.
Don't come between an octopus and his Mr. Potato Head.
A decomposing baby pig, time-lapsed. This gorgeous and nifty and also creepy as hell. Wait till it looks like the pig is talking and/or snarling. I've decided one of my characters needs a decaying pig as her invisible friend. Less niftily, this video reminded me of a piece of a dream I had last night that involved finding a three-legged kitten being eaten by ants. Not actually cool, sub-conscious.
And now I'm bored as hell and losing the good light for drawing. Time to scour my short stories and see if any of them have grown plots yet. Maybe necrotic pigs could substitute for plot.
