Shauna and I are boiling over with excitement about The Denizens unleashing next month

It's beautiful, horrible and scary as hell - pretty much everything you could want in a smalltown undead horror

They are fooling themselves if they think ANY outcome from the midterms will make him give up power. The infrastructure is set to seize power and call it vote tampering, and then change the third term law.
The point is power, & never giving that up. He believes he's the best person to weird it.

So which announcement will it be? That a dictator tyrant is medically unable to continue acting as a spoilt brat, and that his equally fascist underlings will continue blindly on, or that Venezuela constitutes such a threat the US need to go to war?
Fabricated news.

But it's not at the level of Blues Brothers "I've always loved you", I argue.

Thanks for the birthday vibes, everyone. We had a perfect day of lazy breakfasts, present openings, pucnic at a larger lake and swimming & stand-up paddling, then playing dominion and losing lol. Ive spent the day getting used to my new macbook air, which is awesome, and editing on it (fun!).

No. I knew. Playing dumb idiot male mind set. The fact that nessie has had no interaction with humans other than being elusive shows she's female - she's clever.

Finger scalping.

Finger scalping.

I'm writing a short story about a manicurist & had to research the process of a manicure. Guys, this is way more horrific than anything we can make up, times 10 fingers.
I thought i'd got a really gross idea but it turns out every manicurist is a skilled surgeon with tools that maim, slice & scalp.

See! The trauma doesn't go away! Damn cameras lost him for like two minutes where we all thought he was dead. That he'd basically made his brain mush.
And then... nope. He's all good.
