((I'm going to take a moment here to rant a little, okay.
Because #1 did you know there was a movie? I DID NOT. #2, and this really pisses me off, CALLUM KIETH RENNIE'S FACE IS NOT ANYWHERE ON THE DVDS. NOT THE CASE, NOT THE DISKS, EVEN THE SEASON(S--they're calling seasons 3&4 the same? wtf?) WITH RAY KOWALSKI, RAYMOND VECCHIO'S GRUMBLERAH FACE IS ON THOSE DISKS. CALLUM'S NAME IS NOT EVEN ON THE BOX EXCEPT IN TIIIINY LITTLE LETTERS ON THE BACK NEAR THE BOTTOM. UNNACCEPTABLE, MARKETING PEOPLE. YOU FAIL AT CHRISTMAS.))
Also got Naked Heat, the book by "Castle." Ohhhh my godddd it's soooo baaaaaaad. I'm bring it to my writing club so we may mock it forever. SO BAAAAAD. Example with commentary in bold:
She had just straightened the wheel passing Cafe Lalo when a dog darted out in front of her. Heat slammed on the brakes. Coffee sloshed onto her lap. Short sentences make exciting writing. It was all over her skirt, but she was more concerned about the dog. Tell your audience, don't show. Wait...
Thankfully, she didn't hit it. She didn't even scare it. The dog, a small German Shepherd or husky mix which are known for being small dogs, boldly stood there in the street right in front of her, not moving (as one usually does when one is standing boldly), staring at her over its shoulder. Nikki smiled at it and waved. What the actual fuck. And still, it just stood there. As opposed to waving back. That stare unnerved her. Really. It was challenging and intrusive. What a rude dog. The eyes were sinister, piercing under dark brows and a permanent frown. As she examined it, something else seemed off about the dog. Like its unnecessary personification. Like it wasn't a dog at all. Wow, good thing she's a detective! Too small for a shepherd or husky (damn straight), and the coloring of its rough coat was tan mottled by gray. Incomplete sentence. And the muzzle was too thin and pointed. Is it a cat? It was more foxlike. Is it a fox, then? No.
It was a coyote.
*SPASMS OF GLEE*
I also, (homg) got a present from
pennyplainknits , who tricked me into giving her my address under the ruse of sending Christmas cards, but in actuality sent CHOCOLATE AND A CARD AND A WEE TEA BALL WITH A CUPCAKE ON THE END. ALKSDFJFLAKSD. WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE YOU, REALLY???
And these:
FREUDIAN SLIPPERS. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
Bonus pictures of my dogs being adorable. Because it's Christmas.
So merry merry Christmas, bbs, i hope yours was fantastic, no matter what life had to throw at you. *sprinkles you with pfeffernusse*
