Off writing in my cave...

THANKS-Dr.!

Click here if you are interested in reading it

Also--she is having a  giveaway -so be sure to hit the copter while you are there.

"I'll be back!" (said like Arnold in the Terminator)

Racing-Freebies and more

Big News!

Okay fine it’s NOT that big of news-

Forgotten Time is FINALLY FREE on Amazon (for a limited time) - so you should really snag a copy like soon. Seriously, who knows how long it will last…with Amazon you never, ever know= crap shoot. 

Click here to snag one for yourself.

Also I can’t believe I forgot – PREAKNESS is Saturday!

For those of you not familiar with Preakness – Preakness is a Horse Race-and not just any race- it is the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown – not as fashionable as the Derby but still an event worth mentioning –

If you are venturing for the first time to Preakness and have decided to hang on the infield (I highly recommend this) you will become one of the masses. Shopping carts + coolers = highly lucrative day’s work for some. 

Rules to live by for Preakness – never, ever use the JJ without a blocker, seriously, I am not kidding or the triple J’s will get you- yeah, they exist, they are the Jiffy John Jokester’s = lame name + not enough caffeine = brain is constipated

It’s true, they will descend upon an unwitting victim and flip the Jiffy John over on the door side while you are inside, leaving you trapped, with hundreds, thousands, of feces pouring forth from the stink hole from hell. Seriously, I am not kidding it does happen. *I’ve seen it* (whispered eerily like Haley Joel Osmet from M Knight Shyalaman 6^th sense “I see dead people”) yea like that. So consider yourselves warned.

Moving along through the masses, you will stumble i.e. trip over several squatters these are the people who have become too drunk to move back to their designated area = square + patch of dead grass + police tape = your home for the day. The best course of action here is to = cop a squat yourself or simply take the long way around= they won’t move…ever. 

Also if you are a male be on the lookout for the exhibitionists = drunken females + topless + playing chicken = happy, happy, happy men.

Needless to say Preakness is an event like no other  = fun people+ frosty beverages + good food + racing + unspoiled crowd

= one not to miss 

List of contenders ie Horses

List of Stars showing ie eye candy 
How the race will play out...maybe...

First - Orb
Place - Goldencents
Show - Oxbow

My underdog pick for Preakness 

First - Oxbow

Place - Orb
Show - Governor Charlie

Happy Friday!

A little bit of everything

Before I get into my normal/ or not so normal blog post -

I want to  give some props to Canada

-apparently, they are digging my Gargoyles-

YAY! CANADA! YAY!

Thank YOU!

You ROCK!

xoxo

And speaking of people that are seriously awesome - 
I want to say a gargantuan THANK YOU!
 to the - Librarian Mouse  -Alaiel for her review of my book Gargoyle 
you can read the review here if you're interested.

And not only does she have incredible tastes in books *obviously* o_- 

she has some really cool stuff going on her blog as well. So you should really check out her site here whenever you get a chance.

Also she is having a really great giveaway right now  for a new release that looks (I'll be completely honest- * freaking amazing*) -the contest ends really soon -so hit the book to time warp through the blogosphere and enter now. 

Speaking of time -warps...guess what movie is hitting the theaters May 17^th?

Oh yea, you guessed it. 

Let’s face it, when this movie first came out, and as a prequel no less, I have to admit I was leery. I am in no way a die-hard trekkie, but I do enjoy a well-directed/played out sci-fi from time to time.

 Even, hard-core Trekkie’s, have thrown some much deserved props to JJ Abrams on the last/first movie. Not only did he take away the normal - prequel (oh great I know how this is going to end), he kept us guessing at every turn without ruining the integrity of the original movie.Go Spock!  

Can JJ pull it off... again? + Time will tell + I am hopeful =

*Fingers Crossed*= "V" = "Live long and Prosper!"

Misadventure Monday

So anyway, for Monday, since it is usually gets a bum rap and is touted the most miserable day of the week…*poor Monday* I decided to write one of my many misadventures-you know to give my readers a chuckle or not = a crap-shoot.

Anyway, back on track with the story… 

So I used to work in a high-rise office building; mind you, used to (being the operative word) does not live there anymore.

Every Monday I would walk into the steel, glass-encased building, with a crowd of well-dressed people, barreling across the lobby, carrying coffee in one hand, phones in the other, while, balancing a briefcase, bag or purse with a newspaper on the side = The White Collared World in a nutshell.

All with the same, singular, purpose = Get to the elevators as fast as you can and …wait, and …wait, and …wait. (You get the   picture)

Some pace back and forth, others read, some will apply makeup and other’s like myself, will stand stupidly still and stare at the floor, actually at yourself in the reflection of the high-polished floor = everyone in their own world.

That is, until the elevator dings = Personal space ratios will be obliterated as an imaginary drill sergeant will seemingly bark a command = in unison they + me, will all pile onto the elevator at the exact same time- moving as one, pivot and turn, facing towards the doors again. = nothing short of amazing.

Silence will descend like a fresh blanket of snow…until… the one-day the silence is broken...

Not by a cough, sniffle, or random throat clearing, no, the silence will be broken by the distinct and unmistakable emergence of the air - biscuit = fart

The pungent aroma of someone’s quickly eaten breakfast burrito will force out any other scent of expensive cologne or perfume in a matter of seconds.

I, of course, am not, accustomed to this form of restraint. I literally choke back a hysterical laugh, which makes me cough odd, then I start to gag, the scent is overbearing and yet not one other person has done a thing, not even flinch. The elevator dings indicating we a slide by yet another floor, without a stop and I can barely stand on my feet any longer for want of falling over with laughter, and revulsion, simultaneously. Finally with no other alternative, I look upward, only to discover the ceiling is mirrored and the rest of the people inside the elevator are doing the exact same thing… except they are looking at me, like I am the guilty air biscuit dispenser. 

I want to speak up-defend myself, at least whoop loudly with laughter because it still is funny.

And yet…somehow, some way not one person laughed, not even a chuckle = white collar etiquette = WTF?

Farts are funny.

Case + point =   White Collared World = not for me.

Happy Monday!

*Sorry if this offends some of you, but this is how I roll = not quite straight. o_-
