MONDAY MUSINGS w/Jade Lee
1. Like so many of you, I had family here for the weekend. So let’s just get straight to the fun stuff.
Bourbon and ginger ale on the rocks is
a) disgusting
b) a gateway drug to nausea and making funny faces as one tries to swallow
c) my husband’s drink of choice
d) something I just don’t get.
Answer: All of the above! So, it’s true, I’m not a big fan of ginger ale. When you add bourbon, it just tastes alike something my cat would hack up.
2. My daughter came home for the weekend. So we immediately
a) went out for sushi and ate until we practically exploded.
b) discussed taxes, car tires, and parking tickets
c) discussed makeup and redid our nails
d) thought of the zillions of gifts they could give me for mother’s day.
Answer: oddly enough, the answer is B. Yes, that’s what my husband and daughter discussed immediately upon her arrival while I waited impatiently for sushi. But you get to claim a win if you guessed anything but D. We did go out for sushi eventually. We also-at some point-discussed makeup, and my daughter wanted to try my nail polish so she re-did her nails. As for Mother’s Day, the response is usually: oh, wait isn’t that in November?
3. And finally, as family entertainment, we…
a) went on a massive community Easter egg hung where my 6 year old niece found the golden egg!
b) stayed up until 2 am playing Catchphrase and laughing hysterically. Because let’s be honest-no one is coherent after midnight, especially after a bottle of wine because the bourbon was disgusting.
c) wrote up a handout on POV for a speech I’m giving in a month because it was due today.
d) slept a lot. I went to bed early, didn’t get up until noon, took naps, and generally lazed around.
Answer: everything but D. So want to see my short piece of Head-Hopping Point of View? The question with every sentence is who’s head are we in? So here you go:
By the way, this is an example of BAD WRITING:
Scene from What in the Hell is Happening?
Joey grinned as he watched Mary shimmy out of her shorts, the fabric feeling hot as the elastic gripped her thighs. But soon cool air kissed her thong and she sighed in delight. He straightened off the bed, thinking of all the myriad things he was going to do to her tonight. The dog Rover huffed his annoyance. He wanted out of the stifling heat and there was a strange musk in the room.
God that feels great! Hands against her breasts, the tight press of his body against hers. And what the hell is that yellow stripe? Oh my God! A shapeshifter!
Well what had he expected? Rover’s hackles raised and he woofed in a half-hearted requestto be let out of the room. After all, he’d smelled this weird tiger human mix before.
“Take me now!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll get my car keys. I’m sorry. I didn’t understand that you needed to be at the zoo right now.” Damn. How’d he get so confused? He’d thought she wanted…well clearly he’d been wrong.
Mary whimpered. “Sometimes the need to go all feral just consumes me.”
