I only write high.cYOvfI3HpKtlXQxj




You only breathe high.
I don't write high, but I love to edit high. Mostly because it's fun. More importantly, it can lead me to ideas I normally wouldn't have. But I always do the edits in ALL CAPS, so I can easily weed them out, because so many of the ideas you think are brilliant while high are actually kinda goofy in the sober light of day.

Thing is, when you find a idea you got while high, and it isn't goofy, it's often great, and you wouldn't have gotten there any other way.

That made me laugh out loud and I am not even sure why. smile

Yeah, I like to think I`m pretty funny.

What do you call a man with a rubber toe?

Roberto.

I`ll be here all week. Tip your waitresses.
I am blindingly white. And from Iowa, which is as white a state as you can get. German, English and Scottish blood, mostly. My kids, who are adopted, are hispanic.

Bloody Mary, please, bartender, with Grey Goose chaser, neat. It was one of those nights. Thank you. xxJennifer

ETA: Please, everyone, go read or re-read Losing It, my collaboration with the much-missed Mike (oceanrunner). The piece is within sight of Famous Story status and it would make Mike so damn happy to see our collaboration--my only collaboration--reach that 30,000 view mark. Yes, he still visits, and yes, he's doing well. Thank you.


I've already read it, but I gave it another view. I just did the famous story watch, so I get the excitement.

Tell Mike that Verbal sez hi!

More coffee, please. Proffer Jen a cup, if she'd like one.
I am, once again, a day late and a dollar shot. Hope you and your lovely wife had an excellent birthday!



MORE CATS! My youngest got a new cat - no pictures yet, but I will post eventually. A cute lil tortie from the shelter, and, my daughter being the empathetic sweetheart that she is, she chose a five year old cat because they have a harder time getting adopted. She is named Jinx (the cat, not my daughter). She's still kind of limited to my daughter's room, until she acclimates. Then she gets to meet the other cats.

Hey, Chris, nice to see you back in this neck of the woods.

Heyya Bill.

Thanks for the donuts and the music and the Taco Cat, Fuzz. Dig the Billie E, doubt I'll see the new Bond movie (the last one I saw was the Halle Berry one, a million years ago). Speaking of movies, I saw FIVE--count 'em FIVE--movies this weekend. Midsommar, Parasite, Underwater, Pyewachet, Zodiac. I gave little mini-reviews over on the movie thread. Thinking of starting a new thread - one sentence movie reviews. The current thread just asks you to name the last movie you saw. I want opinions!!! FIGHT ME!

I'd love a cuppa.
I saw a TON of movies this weekend. In order:

Midsommar. I really liked it. I didn't love it. It was shot gorgeously, and it had an anthropoligist`s eye when it came to observing the culture of the cult. Some really unsettling scenes. But it was a little slow, a little ponderous, and it didn't really go anywhere. Great set-up.

Parasite. I fucking LOVED this movie. Angry, savage, fast and funny, I was rooting for Once Upon a Time for best picture before I saw this.

Underwater. Ii went in expecting nothing, and it was okay, I guess. It was competent and predictable and forgettable. I don't think I've ever seen Kristen Stewart in as anything before, and she was better than I expected her to be. Plus, kinda hot.

Pyewacket. Really great little low budget horror movie on Hulu. Creepy af. It's slow and deliberate and relentless.

Zodiac. HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS MOVIE! Loved this, such control over the material,. It's kind of a shaggy story, but the movie is crisp and tight (heh). REALLY good cast, clearly having fun.

Agreed. Not everything needs to be spelled out, but damn... you can't leave those kind of gaping holes. Because the movie had so much going on, it was easy to gloss over a lot of them. But the vomiting. No way. That's your go to.

Yes. LOVED... A Quiet Place. No plot holes. Don't you dare!!! What bothered you about that flick? I think there were a few nit-picky things, not like the glaring, tanker truck-sized ones in Knives Out, but what say you?

BTW... AQP's sequel looks good. I recently saw the trailer. Honestly, Emily Blunt can just sit, stand, or lay there, and I'd like it.



The obvious one that everyone brings up is, why didn't they just live next to the waterfall?

Also. He's an electrician - why didn't he install speakers AWAY from the farm to draw away the monsters? And where does all the electricity come from? Society is destoyed! Does he have a generator? Why don't they show it? Does it make any noise?

They live on a working farm - and that corn had been planted that growing season - how do they do that silently? Cornfields are LOUD.

The paths of sand were goofy - I doubt the sand would help much.

And relatively loud noises were not bothersome, but quieter ones were. They were inconsistant with which noises wold draw the monsters.

There's probably more. I gotta work.

Okay. A few. The drop on the shoe was ridiculous. More on that shortly.

Remember where my love, Ana, walked to cover her tracks? Mud. Then she’s in the house, wearing the same shoes. No mud. No mud even on the sides of the shoes. Yet she’s walking around the house, as is everyone else, but no tracked in mud. Yet... they find dry mud in the carpet fibres? Please. Oh, how far is blood going to fly, especially the way it happened given the position of the hand and arm? Not THAT far. It could have been BBQ sauce.

Grandma. Why is she there? Where is she now? A sequel was not in the works prior to the release.

What did Nazi boy have to do with anything? It has been a while since I saw this, but there were so many under used and needless characters. One can argue red herring plot devices, but no. Not this time.

The cops would NOT let a private eye do what the PI did. It was still an active investigation, official or not.

Why did they not explain that game of thrones knife display?

I know there are more. I just can’t remember them. When we have drinks next, we can get into it more. However, I did enjoy it, but hated Bond’s uselessly, unneeded accent. Logan Lucky was a great accent.

But, besides that stupid drop of blood idea, you have someone that vomits. Use that resource FFS. You strike when the iron is hot. But super sleuth doesn’t, nor do the cops. Gaping plot hole. Gapping. Like Trump’s asshole after he visits Putin.



I agree about the drop on the shoe, and noticed it at the time. And you are right about the mud stuff. But, like I said before, I think the only obligation of a writer/director is to keep me distracted enough so I don't notice the flaws at the time (that's oversimplified, but it's got to be a big flaw for me to change my mind about the movie after the fact). Ever see A Quiet Place? I enjoyed it, but there are HUGE plot holes you notice like an hour after you see it.

The Nazi boy was part of a slight anti-Trumpian political subtext that I thought was unnecessary. I got nothing against anti-Trump sentiments, I just think they were shoe-horned into the film.

The throne of knives didn't bother me. The guy wrote murder mysteries, the throne could be easily explained, by something as simple as a line of dialogue. Not necessary - thery don't need to spell everything out to me.

If you’re not watching Sex Education on Netflix, you should start. Super funny. Super awkward. But very poignant. Season Two dropped today.

VERBS!!!

If you want to see that much sought after Gillian Anderson tribute shot, watch the opening montage for season two, set to a choir version of the song, I Touch Myself. Fu-nny.




Ah, Gillian. A lazy three day weekend begins in 7 hours, so we may get to Sex Education. Either the show or the activity. Or both. smile After watching Midsommar of course. So psyched to see it is on Prime!



Parasite and Little Women are at theaters in town, so may hit one of those too. Literaly the ONLY thing I know about Little Women are those plot details I've learned from Friends. :)

Bummer about being sick right before you head out to meet the new grandbaby, T-God.

Thanks for the set-up Tonya. I'd love some coffee.
Quote by HeraTeleia
Congrats on everything, everyone.

Okay, Bill. I'm going to ease into this slowly so as not to startle. I've knocked out a sequel to Drill Day . My tired has to go in early to work OCD self hasn't quite finished agonising over it, but I'll submit it ASAP tomorrow morning.

I've never done a sequel--but this is probably possibly maybe definitely a true story, so....it's coming. I'm rather stunned myself. Rusty Nail please, Bill.


Good to see you writing probably possibly maybe definitely true stories again, Jen. And always lovely to see your face in the deep end of this dive bar (apologies to Garth Brooks).

And...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CURVY THE UNQUENCHABLE!!! I already gushed over on the birthday thread, but a man can gush twice, can't he? Cyn's talent, her supportiveness to other writers, her editing skills, and her avbility to make a FINE cup of coffee makes her indespensible in these parts. Or any other parts. smile

Not much else to say. Work is a bit of a slog. Writing is going slowly, but it is going.

Coffee please.
Happy birthday, dear Curvy the Unquenchable Who May Or May Not Be From Wales! I think you were one of my first friends here, I remember trading emails about you taking dance classes! Anyway, it feels good to acknowledge a friend who is not only a talented writer, but also one who is generous with her advice and her support. I have gone to you as a beta reader so many times when I was stuck on a story, and you were always so helpful. You were SO supportive when I started the Shard thing and had no idea what I was doing. Your talent and your sunny charm make this site a brighter place!

Also, it helps to edge a bit as you choreograph the sex. ;)


True dat.

I say just follow your fantasies. Write about the thing(s) that turns YOU on the most - don't try to please your readers. That'll ensure it's passionate and give it a unique voice. The more you write, the more you can explore.
Quote by GraceW


Except me.



Okay. NOBODY sings about my big, long, pink ding dong penis.

But if they did they could use the tune from This Land is Your Land.

They could even use these lyrics:

My big long ding dong
Makes for a great song
Just sing it loudly
And oh so proudly
You then might realize
Much to your surprise
This Dong was made for you and me.
Sorta - I fractured my kneecap when I was a kid. Don't know if a kneecaqp is a bone or not.

Have you ever had a surgical procedure that ended up being totally unnecessary?

So just popping in
Yesterday was kinda depressing I went to my parents
and my cat I've had since i was 15 was in a bad state
It was heartbreaking in every way.. I'm not sure she'll still be alive when i come over next so i just held her and talked to her.
I wish animals could live as long as humans....

Sorry for darkening the bar...

I'm tired coffee please extra tall.


So sorry about the kitty Vanessa. Holding her and talking to her sounds comforting, for both of you.

You are not darkening the bar at all. Let's duck into the alley and share a bowl - it's getting close to 4:20. Sara, your chores are done for the day, feel free to follow! Other Scott, Lilly, Brooke, that new Cat who seems to enjoy cream, and anyone else who feels the need - join us!

I forgot who suggested this film - Damon or Felix, but thank you. I had forgotten about it then the title was in something I was reading. Not wanting to freeze off my balls, I stayed home and watched this.

Wow. That Ari dude is fucked up. The cinematography was fantastic. I especially liked that driving scene when the viewer is turned upside down, and the mushroom trips. Some scary stuff.

It’s a movie that you know bad shit is happening, or is going to happen, and even know what it is or will be, but you keep watching to confirm your suspicions. The viewer remains fixated just as if they were in a cult.

If you like freaky, mindfuck movies, this is a must see. And one is temped to watch this movie so you can repeatedly pause the movie so you can analyze all the imagery details. All those drawings and paintings. Sheesh.

I never trusted IKEA and always have been drawn to ABBA. Now I know why. Both are cults but of a different feather.


Didn't know this could be streamed! Just found it on Amazon Prime! Very psyched. Didn't really like Hereditary, but it had its moments, and I love the folk-horror genre.

What's Missing Link?

Idk if anyone remembers me but eh. Just dropping by.


I remeber. You have a thing for Alan Cummings, right? Nice to see you back.

Nice to see you back as well, Jen. Stick around, have a drink.

This back to work thing needs some getting used to. Still tired and kinda unfocused, like, all the time. At least I'm writing.

Not much to say, so I will let Kate do the talking. Check out the caption, it's pretty funny.

Coffee please.

And here I thought Macklemore was singing about your big, long, pink ding dong penis.


EVERYBODY sings about my big, long, pink ding dong penis.
Bill, big congrats to your Tigers for beating the Tigers! Go Bill's Tigers! Boo, Other Tigers! And even bigger congrats on the great-grandson!

Back at work today. Sigh.

In addition to the three movies I watched in the theaters last week (Rise of Skywalker! Uncut Gems! Knives Out!), I also rewatched the ENTIRE Alien quartet. The first one is magnificent, of course, and the second one is really entertaining. The third one is much better than I remembered. And the fourth one, with a horribly miscast Winona Ryder, is nearly unwatchable, despite being written by Joss Whedon (Firefly, Buffy, first 2 Avengers movies). I say nearly unwatchable because, well, I watched it.

Sorry about your back, Ping. Been there.

Okay. I should work.

Coffee please.
My daughter made tater tot casserole. It was really good!

My grandson is here. He came at 2:24pm EST. He is 7lbs 4oz and 19.5in long with a head of hair already. Mommy and Daddy are doing well and resting now. It has been a very exciting day. I think I'd like to pop open some Champagne to celebrate. Anyone want to join me? Hope everyone had a great day.



Too cool Tonya! I'll happily join you in a glass of champagne. Congratulations! That must be a very special feeling. And one I hope I don't have to feel for a very long time. smile

And serious congratulations to Carl for the insanely improbable Chiefs comeback. I don't even follow football and that score caught my eye.

I start work again tomorrow. Back to the real world. Or as real as it gets around here. I am actually kinda looking forward to getting back into a routine. I started writing again too, which helps.

A round of what everybody is having on me. And by me I mean one of those Cats slinking about the bar these days. I will have two fingers of something strong.
Listen to them. Ask questions, and be genuinely interested in the answers.
Quote by DamonX


If this was an American Movie it would counted among the best screenplays of all time.

If you want original, check this out. It will be nominated for best pic at the Oscars, but it won't win because the voters will give it best foreign language film. That's the way things work.

Just like Oldboy, I expect this to have an English language remake in about ten years.


Really want to see this. I saw The Host years ago and loved it, it's nice to see him make a big splash with this.
I saw THREE movies, in theaters, this week. That never happens!

Finally saw The Last SkyWalker. I really liked it. I'm not a huge fanboy of the series, but I like them. They had a lot of loose ends to tie together, and they did for the most part. Yeah, the storyline got a little wooly, but whatever, it dodn't bother me. Some realy thrilling moments--the light saber fight on the bones of the Death Star while the sea raged around them was magnificent. Adam Driver is SO good in these.

Saw Uncut Gems. Yikes! Really intense, really in your face. It's a good movie, and well made, but I can't say I enjoyed it - I was tense the whole time I was watching it. Reminded me of Bad Leutenant, though it doesn't get quite as depraived. Adam Sandler gives a hell of a performance.

And...just got back from Knives Out. REALLY enjoyed it. It just seemed so well-crafted, the way it knew the genre, the way all the pieces fit together, the observant way it had with the characters. Great cast too, everybody knowing their role and delivering it flawlessly. Ping, I remember you bitching about plotholes in that cantankerous kids-get-off-my-lawn, bees-are-really-secret-government-surveilence-drones way you have, but none seemed glaring to me. Care to expand? I figure if you keep the audience distracted aand entertained enough so they don't notice the holes, you've done your job.
