written about Annie Wilkes from the movie Misery

Oh, Annie, sorry child lost from my breast. Where did you step wrong walking among the mortals? Was it me they saw in your eyes when you confessed? Close your weary eyes while I absolve the rest. Oh, Dragon Lady, can you smile now your work is done? The voices you hear these shall ne'er understand. Pity to you, for ours is not the way of the sun. Almost finished now as you gently squeeze the gun. Oh horror, the atrocities and blessings performed in your fight, hobbling those of a

Back from Vacation

Well, where to begin. The trip was amazing, being up in the mountains, spending the days hiking and on horseback taking pictures was just this intensely peaceful and relaxing feeling. The first night there I arrived in the mountains too late to do much but have a campfire and cook dinner and start taking pictures of the mountains and the area around the campground. Mostly different birds and plants, cactus (cacti?) that were flowering, things like that. An osprey, (I think), some gophers , a

Story Review Featured Story: Something Unexpected

Our thanks to Wildone, who has written a great review of Hosted Author Krista's Something Unexpected. We hope you enjoy it! Something Unexpected By Krista Reviewer: Wildone Status: Complete Words: 158,336 I was in conversation with Krista a while back and she mentioned a story of hers that I have never had the opportunity to read. Something Unexpected is a very appropriate name for this great story. I debated on if to call this review a ‘before and after’ entry

alternate version of Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil"

I remember concert and marching band in high school. This was written back then in honor of and with much gratitude for our high school band director, Jeff Evans. ( a Patient man ) "Shout at the Band" You didn't play the allegretto, your notes are all flat. You say you can't play anymore! You got the sixth grade blues, your music you want to choose. If you want to leave, there's the door. You got your spit valve stuck, you don't give a fuck. And you think I don't give a damn!

A Life of Ups and Downs

I think, like most people, I don't take the time to stop and look at my life. Sometimes you have to decide if your life is going where you want it to, taking you to new exciting places, stopping you from growing, or just plain becoming a train wreck. Presently not sure. Three years ago my life altered. I don't care how old you are, when you lose a parent that changes you and your life. I had been out on my own, living a life, not a great one or a bad one, just a life. I had friends and had h

ode to a cigarette

Altered and musing on my reverence for Camels. (from long ago) like a candy box of confections I open it up to sidle my fingers through I choose a carmel beauty and slowly lift it from its shell even dormant it scents the air in the passage to my lips I light; a passionate, smooth dandy mingling his breath with mine

Enjoying nature in the city

No more reviews for today, I just want to add a blurb about seeking out nature in the urban jungle. I've realized that beyond all the technological and lines of financial detail that I go through, I actually enjoy nature. No seriously, I've been walking around the parks and private gardens of Boston and its surrounding areas in the last few weeks. I have climbed up hills to seek out arboretums filled with hundred year old trees and understand why people sought their preservation. There's

Menace Years

That Gas Station Event

So Today, I was at the gas station getting gas.I went inside to pay cash for gas. There was already a guy at the front. so at first, I thought he was buying some Advil medicine or something. He was like " Um the purple or the yellow". He took 2 minutes thinking which one to choose. I didn't know what he was picking. I looked closer to what he was picking and BAMM!. They're condoms!~ I'm like......what?.... you're taking 2 minutes just to pick condoms. He chose both of the condoms and

Laptop Fail.

(NOTE: This is basically a longer version of my status from yesterday.) So...yesterday, the motherboard on the laptop that I've had for nearly 3 years decided that then was the perfect time to quit functioning. What's weird about that is, it was working for about an hour that morning, before I put it into "sleep" mode for a little while. 3 hours later...it starts acting like it wants to turn on, but it won't. Nothing that I'm able to do makes any difference. I take it over to a friend of

Weekly Update Weekly Wrap Up!

So - June is busting out all over! Barely into the month, and at least here in California, we're totally in a summer swelter.

We started our week kicking off the June CSR - Can't Stop Reading Book club entry of Reach by CassieQ. Oh hey - maybe THIS is the great fiction I was talking about? Ya - check it out, and be sure to come back on June 24th for the CSR discus

The River Song

My Health and The Three Day Apple Cleanse

So in my last blog, I mentioned that I was having some health issues. One of the ways this manifests itself is with pain in the knees, hip, back and neck. As you can imagine, this makes it very painful to complete a range of day to day activities. Another thing this does is prevent me from exercising. Being overweight only makes things worse. Anyway, as "conventional" medicines have failed to help, I have been looking at a number of other treatments - for example last year I spent £50

WL's Review: Cabin in the Woods

Spoiler Alert: Don't read on unless you want to get spoiled, which is kind of hard to do for a horror movie that makes fun of the Horror movie genre formula Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon writing a horror movie script together for the first time, since the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. This combination is an amazing classic combination and the results...Meta.... What can you say about a movie that was made to both showcase what the horror genre has gotten right over the years

Personality Flaws

So, in my life I've realized that there are two major personality flaws about me- I can be incredibly self-absorbed to the point where I say things without really thinking about how other people will take it, and I'm quick to assume things. I try to be on guard for those traits, especially the self-absorption bit. When I was a teenager and early twentysomething, I got constantly called on the fact that I talk too much and that I'd "hijack" every conversation and bring it back to myself. I

Vent #1

There are many things which individuals do I do not understand.. why say something and make it public, I guess for those who really care, and then run away like a frightened child when someone asks you something about it.. To be honest, in the end, no one really cares one way or the other only the individuals involved.

62 years ago

In a few days, I will celebrate my 84th birthday and my wife has just celebrated its 85th anniversary. But this is not the most important event. 62 years ago, fate brought me my greatest gift: I met the girl who became my wife. We were both young and we still are. The above photo was taken during our first meetings. Time has passed but the feelings are still the same. We went through the storms of life, overcoming many difficulties, enjoyed all the joys and sorrows of all these years. We acc

Volunteer Work- Day 2

I started work on another box- this one isn't going to be as easy, because it's not filled with photo albums with dates on the front like the first one I worked on was. It's mostly scattered photographs in packets from photo development shops. The bulk of the photos I've run across in this box are from the late 1990's into about 2004, although I did find photos from 1988-1990. That was interesting for me, because I started hanging out around downtown Newark/The University of Delawa

past thoughts on the movie The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

I miss out out with a lot of horror movies. 1) I'm not a straight man. Could we have less titties in these things? Please? Now full frontal male nudity for days would be just fine. Am I a hypocrite? Fuckin' A…maybe I just like the company. 2) I am one of those sick souls who actually thrives, nay, insists on good writing, on a substantial story. (Unless, of course, we are talking creature features and then I am willing to negotiate my standards or perhaps throw them under the bus altogether.) Wh
