This is the background story I wrote for my sculpting entry. I think I was only supposed to write a paragraph, which is what I started out to do but then it ended up being three pages long. Anyway it's a spoof of H. P. Lovecraft's work, complete with doomed sensitive young man, ineffective but solicitous Doctor, heavy-handed foreshadowing, ( Read more... )

Yay!! Frother's FINALLY announced the contest winners! Mine was in the Narrow Miss category (meaning it was considered for one of the top three places but didn't quite make it). Narrow Miss was below the top 3 winners but just above the Honorable Mentions-so Runner's Up I guess? Anyway I'm thrilled and have been doing the Happy Dance all morning! ( Read more... )

Frother's will announce the winners of their sculpting contest. After they dispense with the traditional name calling, gratuitous nudity, piss taking and door slamming. Or maybe that only applies to the committee meetings? Anyway I'm still pretty sure my entry won't be placing. Looking at the entries as objectively as I can I'd put mine in about ( Read more... )

I finally got to watch Desperation last night and it was worth the wait. Tom Skerritt and Ron Pearlman were great (as usual!) and the rest of the cast were solid too. I've been very disappointed in many of the movies made from Stephen King's works but this isn't one of them. It's a very good adaptation of the book.

There's not a single clue ( Read more... )

OMG OMG OMG! I've been pretty bummed the last few days because John gets to go back to Colorado Springs (the last place we lived and the place I really REALLY didn't want to leave-but that's a long story) for a month and I can't go with him because his per diem will barely cover his expenses let alone me and Brad's too. So anyway I went to the ( Read more... )

Last week I rented a bunch of movies including Desperation (based on the book Desperation by Stephen King). I loved the book and the DVD looked really good and I really REALLY wanted to watch it but life reared it's ugly head and I ended up having to return it before I could. Not a problem-I have Netflix! So I added it to my queue and moved it to ( Read more... )

I just saw this on archaeopteryx's page and had to do one for myself:

1. One book that changed your life?

Illusions:The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach.

2. One book you have read more than once?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

3. One book you would want on a desert island?

SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in ( Read more... )
