A Few Notes, Announcements, Innuendos, Requests for Bawdy Tales Involving Tavern Wenches...

Yes, It's my Monday post... At a fucking ungrateful hour of the day, but you know you'll read it anyway if you're the type to read it anyway...

Please let me know if that made sense.

* Jobless
Still don't have a new temp position, but you know, as long as I score one within the week, I'll be fine financially speaking. I actually could even not have one until next Monday and still be okay. All things considered, however, I would prefer to have one sooner than later. It's a thing.

* Broken Lizard's Club Dread
It's a movie. It has Bill Paxton as a washed-out Jimmy Buffet could've-been who still gets miffed that people remember Margaritaville and not his own Pina Coladaberg, which was recorded seven years earlier. That's about the most clever joke in the whole film, honestly. Well, that and the unwilling voyeurism sequence, which actually produced audible laughter. In any case, it's a pretty bad movie. I described it to qkellie thusly - take the very worst players from the very worst years of SNL, and ask them to write a slasher movie. They'd probably come up with this.

The film also holds the distinction of containing one of the world's fakest British accents. You know the kind, the stiff upper lip, drawn-out vowels kind of English accent that abso-fucking-lutely nobody has. Sure, the character's a prig - doesn't mean he has to sound completely unbelievable.

* Writing
I've been not writerly lately. Angstily so. I keep trying to write, but I just don't have the drive... I can't put one word behind the next...

So I've decided (on good advice from airawyn) to take a break. Like a concentrated, "I'm not going to think about writing; I'm just going to work on other aspects of my life" break.

I'm a writer. It doesn't mean I have to be, you know, a Writer. That's not fair to me, to identify myself so closely with it. And frankly, it's way more pretentious than even I'd care to lay claim to.

So, yeah. Other than my Angelathon entry and journaling adventures of all varieties - I won't be writing for a while, until it comes back to me to do so.

* The Monster Legacy Collection
Farkin' rocks. Buy the whole thing. It's a bargain, yo. I watched the entire Frankenstein series consecutively. It was of the good. Also, I love the polystone busts that came with. I could, however, do without the featurettes where Stephen Sommers explains how he raped the old movies to make Van Helsing.

* Icons
I, uh, made some new ones, and decided to stop with the crop jobs and just have Photoshopped icons again. I could become pretty good at it someday, maybe. Or I could just make dopey little ones. There will be a seperate icon post in _callmelanky_ about what's sharable and what's not.
