Just a Thought


*  This is Helm's Peep.  Seriously, enough said!  *dies*

*  On all those crime dramas, why don't serial killers ever come back with a hangover and some advil?  Why does it always have to be with a vengeance?

*  And why are they so pissed off on television anyway?  I mean hell, they're getting serious press!

*  What kind of woman lets her grade school children watch Titanic?

*  Is it bad that she enjoyed the solid half-an-hour of "I need you, mommy!" after the sobfest at the end?

*  Oh, tiny dog, I now know why you didn't need to be walked today!  (Hint: That's not chocolate!)

*  How much time can a time suck suck if a time suck could suck peeps?

*  When the dog is sniffing at places we're walking by, is he identifying his friends?  "Oh, Jimmy!  There you are!  I'd recognize that piss anywhere!  And oh, *sniff*  that must be the Samoyed with the nice tail!  Think she'd give me some?  And omgLOOK!  It's CRAPZILLA!"

*  If we could train the dog to sleep with the kids, do you think they could all be trained to sleep SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT OUR BED?

*  It's hard to stick to a diet when my brain is consumed with the ever-present dialog between steak and chocolate.  Steak is winning at present, but chocolate has made a good case.

*  Everyone wonders why the dog loves me best.  Here's a subtle hint: It's because I take him out to pee most often, and he THINKS THAT MEANS I LOVE HIM.

*  I just had a FB chat in German.  My human translator was awesome, but do you think Bing would like a thank you note for offering help on the side?

*  You know you've done good when your publisher sends you a contract along with the e-mail, "I hate you!"  Yes.  Angst achieved.  I've made someone cry.  I'm gonna go eat chocolate now in remorse.  #notsorryevenalittle  #wellmaybeforthechocolate

*  Jack Reacher is a kick ass hero, both in the books and in the movie.  But in the third book he's 6'5" tall, 250 lbs. of sheer muscle, and was described as "a condom stuffed with walnuts".  I'd like me some of that, even just to slash.  Jack Reacher, watch out-- there's a man out there for you!

*  I saw The Last Stand last night, and while it was typical gory Swartzeneger, complete with exploding brains and squishy sound effects, it was also solid action entertainment.  Of course MY favorite part was when the Hero in Need of Redemption gave a manly hug to the Deputy in the Red Uniform through prison bars.  HelLO plotbunny!

*  I'd like to declare the nap that will follow this blog post as part of my creative process.  And any knitting that comes with it.

*  And once again I'd like to thank Steven Spielberg for Jurassic Park and a movie my kids can watch that I can analyze and say, "Yeah.  It stands up."

*  Off to go snuggle with dog and sleep.  #Ineedthis

*  May we ALL have a happy and productive week:-)

Pete W I would love to read about a 6'5" 250 lbs. of sheer muscle fall head over heel with maybe another 6'3" badass dude... Oh wait, that's Ty & Zane :PP

But seriously, I think you could do something wonderful with a 6'5" ex-military loner type who couldn't understand why he wouldn't stop thinking about another guy :D.

LOL-- Thank you-- I seem to have touched upon a fantasy;-)


Plainbrownwrapper "6'5" 250 lbs. of sheer muscle"

Waitwaitwait....I'm falling over laughing hysterically at the thought of comparing this description with Tom Cruise....

Right? But I have to say, Cruise did a good job with the attitude-- sort of made you overlook the missing seven inches! Wait...

He **wishes** it were only a seven inch difference. Officially Cruise is 5'7", which means he's probably about 5'5" in real life. LOL!!

You could always get my brother to play the part of Reacher. He's 6'9". But then I guess I couldn't perve on him.....

OMG-- for some reason, I kept thinking he was 5'9". Wow-- that IS a difference.

And yeah-- nobody's brother. You want someone you can perv on...

LOLOL-- deal! Should I ever slash Jack Reacher, I shall call upon you first! (And I've already gotten suggestions for how that picture could be improved with some drink stirrer bows and the cunning use of sugar scruff!)

Kaje Harper One could go on embellishing for days but I think it says it all already.

The name alone did it for me!

Jai Oh, we've got a mind meld going on ... I rewatched "Jurassic Park" this weekend, and boy has it stood the test of time. Still a great movie.

Now, Plainbrownwrapper, tell us more about this brother of yours ...

hee hee hee... She said 6'9" and my first thought was Xander... and Bracken!


Plainbrownwrapper Yup, 6'9" of mountain man. Currently has a beard like ZZ Top. Plays guitar, teaches Tae Kwan Do, and is also an attorney. Doesn't that sound like a romance novel hero?

Unfortunately for lovers of mm, despite the fact that his best friend is gay and that he often plays (guitar, get your mind out of the gutter) at a gay bar in Nashville, he also has a female SO of more than 20 years. Sorry about that! ;-)

Amy Lane *sigh*. He sounds awesome, but you're right--I'll have to go write my own;-)
