Random Thoughts

Sitting in traffic & thinking about how the Celts used to keep the heads of their defeated enemies so they could absorb their strength (as one does), I came up with a fantastic dialogue exchange for my WIP!

I do love coming up with a good turn of phrase, even if it's not something I can use easily.

Like a bit of comeback line I thought up for a character who worked as a concierge/receptionist at a luxury resort type place, who frequently gets hate and insults from trophy wives, who think she's going to try to steal their man. So she has to find ways to assure them, while also venting a little insults toward them as well.

"I can assure you, Mrs. Rutherford, that it's clear your husband has very specific standards, and I could not possibly bring myself to meet them."

I can't believe I've been here 14 years. This is the second longest I've been a member of anything.

And what's the longest?

I've been here 12 years; that's the longest I've been active anywhere. The only thing I've had longer is my Hotmail account, which I opened in 1997.

My church; joined in 1993.

I finally realized why I grew so tired of the MCU movies, esp. the ones with all the Avengers and friends. It's the constant witty banter and back and forth. It's like every one of them is an extrovert and they never shut the fuck up. It's exhausting. All this yapping and the ricocheting from scene to scene with zero time to reflect grows tiresome very quickly.

Me: Oh weird coincidence, I watched a horror movie this morning with Liam Hemsworth!

Husband: Does he look like Chris Hemsworth?

Me: He looks like Chris Hemsworth if Chris Hemsworth ate bread.

In the song "The Monster Mash", the singer only sings about "The Monster Mash" and it's dance, but you never hear the actual "Monster Mash".

Husband: Tonight Drew Mcintyre is wrestling...

Me: Yay!

H: Goldberg.

Me: Great, that should be an underwhelming 5-minute match Goldberg wins ��

So yeah, about that...

Looking at recent posts in Check It Out, am I imagining things or is 2021 shaping up to be quite hard on celebrities?

It has indeed. I fear for Betty White.

This one bothers me, because I have very clear memories of asking my mother, when I was about 6, how to say it, whether is was STEEN or STINE. I wish she was still alive so I could ask her.

This brings back memories of FrankenSTEEN vs. and FrankenSTINE.
