Normally I would leave this to Dan, but...

My buddy Steve brought over the most delicious pizza last night. It's an "off the menu" item from the pizza place he delivers for. I won't mention the name of the place so I don't get him in trouble. Anyway, it's a medium pizza crust stretched out to a large pizza so it's nice and thin without being crackery. Then you take a can of Hormel chili (no beans) and use that as the sauce. You cut up some kosher hot dogs and throw them on there with some onions and pizza cheese. Top the whole thing with some cheddar and bake. When it comes out of the over, you slap a little mustard on it and devour. It's like putting trash in your body, health-wise. But man is it tasty.

It's almost the end of December, which means I'll be back to writing soon. I'm also going to get more serious abut promoting Sadie and Cat's Apprentice. I need to get some signings and make some serious sales happen. People are responding so well to Cat's Apprentice that I'm feeling more comfortable asking for reviews and generally hyping the book. Right now I'm just reading over the Serial Killer manuscript so I'll have a better idea of what needs cutting when I get back to it in a week or so.

The Xbox, I have decided is not just a game system. It's a computer made specifically to play games on. But you can do regular AIM and internet stuff on it. Plus you can play games with people from all over. I'm kind of surprised by how much I'm enjoying this thing, since I've never considered myself a hardcore gamer of any kind. I think today I'm going to download a puzzle game. Also, I changed my Gamertag. It is now Wednes Fri. I hadn't realized you could use two words, but my brother is White McWhite (not sure why, I need to ask him).

I was over at imdb last night, being pissed that they are remaking Pet Sematary. I think the old one holds up just fine and you'll never do better than Fred Gwynne as Judd. But I digest. The imdb site said I couldn't get the info about the movie because I don't have imdb Pro. Of course they offered me a "free trial", but why the hell would I pay to use imdb when I've been using it for free all this time? I can understand when the guy from wikipedia wants a donation, they don't charge people to be on their site. But imdb does charge people to have pics on their profiles, and now they want to charge me too? I don't think so.

Hmmm, sounds like an interesting pie!

Yeah, it's really quite good.

I fucking hate the original Pet Semetary. I think it pissed all over the book worse than The Shining. Most of that was due to miscasting (Herman Munster aside). I would be well up to see a remake.

Interesting. I would love to hear your specific complaints. I did not care for Denise Crosby as the mom, but other than that I enjoyed the cast.

I guess plot-wise and thematically, I don't know what you'd really want to change about it.

Randomness here....

You digest? How my sweet Wednes do you digest a movie? Were you gonna digress? I kinda figured so. lol

I just saw that and it made me giggle.

PS - I like the old one just the way it was. They don't need to make a new one and I am really not liking how they tend to end Stephen King movies anymore. I personally think that he leaves them with an "open ending" so you can be more creative...the Mist is a PRIME example of that. omg that ending in the movie pissed me off no end!

Ha! Saying "I digest" is indeed a joke.

I remember you saying how much you hated the movie ending of The Mist. I liked it very much, and found it much braver and much more disturbing than the book ending. And since I'm aware that it was King who suggested that ending to Darabont, I was totally cool with it.

I hated the ending of The Shining though, even though I normally love Kubrick.

haha im just full of jokes.... lol

Agreed ~ it is much braver...and more disturbing. I guess being a mom, and seeing the way it ended...just really pissed me off. I was not aware that King suggested it ... but I still hated it.

With The Shining...yeah that ending was just ... dumb.
