Fortune Favors the Weird

Jess1 Comment

So, I collect "interesting" fortune cookie fortunes. I don't put "in bed" on the end when I read them out loud...mostly because I've gotten some impressively awful ones over the years.If you're feeling down, try throwing yourself into your work. Or anywhere other than work, because what the fuck will make you feel LESS happy… Continue reading Fortune Favors the Weird

Saving People From The Wrong Dangers: Epic Fail, CDC.

Jess3 Comments

Apparently, the CDC had to issue YET ANOTHER warning to stupid humans who have a penchant for making out with chickens. Oh no, this isn't the first time people have been warned about the dangers of kissing chickens, and that makes me a little sad for the human race. Except, maybe they'll eventually take themselves… Continue reading Saving People From The Wrong Dangers: Epic Fail, CDC.

Be Careful What You Ask For?

Jess2 Comments

Every once in a while, people who aren't COMPLETELY horrified at the stuff I think up wonder where the hell I get some of my story ideas. I had a nifty example today...While sitting in the girl-doctor's office waiting room, no less (before being mildly annoyed that my appointment was being cancelled via phone while… Continue reading Be Careful What You Ask For?

JessLeave a comment

I'll admit it. I wasn't sure about this one.Despite having read all of the Original Sinners series and most of the short stories/novellas set in that universe, The Bourbon Thief back cover copy didn't catch me. And so, foolishly, I started it at 10pm the night I got it.DUMB DUMB DUMB. You'd think, after reading… Continue reading Review: The Bourbon Thief (Tiffany Reisz)

Cheaper Than A New Body Part?

Jess1 Comment

A year ago my husband and I separated. Contrary to everyone's expectations, we've managed to do so not only amicably, but actually remain close friends interested in each other's welfare and happiness as we've each ridden the emotional (and practical) waves that come with the end of a marriage.We still hang out often on weekends… Continue reading Cheaper Than A New Body Part?

JessLeave a comment

Today's most fabulous headlines from various news sources: Scientists Have Created A Fuel Cell That Runs On Pee - I suppose I should be glad it doesn't run on farts. Does it have to be human pee? Yes, You Can Rent Out Your Eye Socket For Money - Well...hmm. Amusingly, this headline was immediately beneath the pee-cell article.… Continue reading Eyesockets and Pee-Batteries (alternatively titled: WTF Headlines)

Two years ago, the Starbucks nearest to my house hosted a demon on their drive-through shelf.As most bad pennies do, he turned up again on Wednesday last week after a snowstorm. I mean, sheesh...evil soul-swallowing snow monsters and their regeneration, right? How exhausting.The Desolate One, ThwartedSadly, Samael (The Desolate One) was no match for the… Continue reading The Return and Demise of Samael

But, What Kind of Person Deflowers COCONUTS?

JessLeave a comment

You know, people REALLY overuse the term virgin.Today, I got spam advertising 100% Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.Sigh.Let's ignore the fact that I can't really imagine how someone grows inorganic coconuts, since coconuts are plant life and therefore BY DEFINITION they are organic. Ok, so you want to argue "organic" in this case means grown without… Continue reading But, What Kind of Person Deflowers COCONUTS?

The Moral of the Story: Never Enter A Battle Of Wits with a Welsh Grandma?

JessLeave a comment

Not all myths are heroic journeys or great love stories. Sometimes, a simple scene houses a battle of wits. And sometimes, the small battles have long consequences. I found this while looking up a town in Wales because of a Netflix show. I do adore wise woman tales.A thousand years ago, the Devil decided to… Continue reading The Moral of the Story: Never Enter A Battle Of Wits with a Welsh Grandma?

It’s Getting Crowded in Here

So 2016 is my "finish a goddamned book" year. It's not a stupid resolution I won't follow after a month because cake inevitably kicks the gym's ass: it's a self-imposed deadline to get ON my proverbial writing buns, sit my ass in front of the keyboard, and finish something.At some point, I might learn not… Continue reading It’s Getting Crowded in Here
