"Bullet Points" has a rather violent ring to it...

Feeling guilty at the thought of complaining right about now. Once you hear about an Earthquake that turned into a Tsunami complimented by a Volcanic Eruption and an assortment of potential nuclear disasters...H not cleaning the toilet even though it's his turn seems a profoundly petty thing to be irked by. Besides, all manner of awesome stuff is going on.

--The Finster Effect, while behind schedule, is kicking ass. I'lll get there. Was going to take a week off at the end of April, but now I can't. And why???

-- WE'RE GETTING A NEW BED!!! Okay, it's not really new, it's garage-sale/new-to-us new. What kind, you ask? Well, it's the Grande Dame of all beds, a King-Size Tempurpedic. Yeah, I may not actually get out of it for the first couple days. I have some books I've been meaning to fall asleep reading anyway. While it's a lot of money for an impulse buy--it's an obscenely low price. I am thrilled, and H is tolerating another of my "needless expenditures." Apparently, that crap shack mattress make of pokey springs is "fine."

-- Trick r Treat was just delightful. Creepy, scary, fun cast, great horror sensibility. Very like Creepshow hit me when I first saw it again as an adult. Brian Cox, Dylan Baker, Anna Paquin, and Helo from BSG.

-- A 400 pound Sumo Wrestler set a record for being the heaviest person to complete the LA marathon. I don't have much to add, Big Fat Blog covered it pretty well, I thought. Awesome, that's all.

-- Chapter 11 of A Stabbing for Sadie is up at the site, and Ye Olde iTunes. I also have an extra special short story coming up--one that is not available anywhere but MY podcast. I'm recording with an actor this evening, as a matter of fact.

--Have ZZN interviews coming up with Wolfman Mac, Aaron Stoquert, Bear McCreary, Russ Streiner, and a few other cool peeps. Sending out a few requests this week (*ahem* Voltaire *ahem*). If you know someone rife with zombie love who has something awesome to share--by all means, hip them to me.

--Big Love ended on Sunday. Fuck you, HBO. Fuck you. You suck, Producer Tom Hanks (Um, in this one rare instance...Sir), the writers suck for taking the lazy man's way out, and I suck for sobbing like a child as I watched one of the greatest tragedies in all of television history. I mean, I expect Tony Soprano to go through hell--but I adore Bill Henrickson. And my secret love of Bill Paxton is not exactly a secret. Bill was a good man led by his conscious and they ended up turning him into a selfish, stubborn ass by the middle of the 4th season.

--A secondary Fuck You goes to Criminal Minds and it's shitty string of half-assed cast adjustments. There's a reason I stopped watching Law & Order, dammit! I swear to Zod, if you try to take Hotch or Dr Reid from me...I can't be held responsible for my actions...at least, not according to the profile.

We have a king-size bed, and we both adore it. Plenty of room for us and the kitties. Heavenly! H will never look back.

Haven't tried that myself, but I hear it's pretty cool.

Even with astronaut-based ads, I wouldn't drink Tang. That stuff is nasty.

When we were shopping for mattresses a few years ago, we looked at tempurpedics, but just couldn't talk ourselves into ponying up the cash. We went for a pillow top Sealy instead. It's pretty damned comfy, too.

more room is good!

I've slept on double sized beds for years. Cheap ones. Plenty of room for me and my pets. Add a husband in, and well, it was too crowded for pets, sometimes too crowded for me.

My new husband has a queen sized bed. I still feel like it's too big for both of us, but I am enjoying the space right now. Most of our life together has had us sleeping alone, as we normally work different shifts. With him not working right now... that space is wonderful. No room for pets, or at least the little dog won't sleep with us when we are both in bed! (she's miffed about us both being there, lol)

I do think that a good bed makes a big difference. The one we have needs replacing, but not in the budget. At least it's big enough I can sprawl out and get comfy even if he's there, too.

Memory foam, that's what I dream of. I've got a memory foam topper on to ease the aging pains that I seem to get more and more. I'm glad you found a deal on a new bed!

Hugs,
