Anguish pears?
I found the block function...
Ooh, just went down the rabbit hole Googling "anguish pear." *shiver*

Hey LYFBUZ (Lithe Young Females Busily Undressing Zeus).
Our New Year's was equal parts lazy and satisfying. Gotta say, I've had some amazing New Year's (eating at a giant table on the Guthrie theater stage with my fellow stagehands, drinking and eating and doing large amounts of drugs, as the Allman Bros and the Dead played on the theater sound system), but I'm pretty fond of boring and comfortable these days.
Not much to report. No plans to leave the house. Write. Watch old sit-coms. Maybe attach my new telescope toy to the tube assembly. Heh.
I'm sure we can find a few other fun things to do.
First cup of 2021 coffee please! Happy New Year all!

Dana Scully on X-File; Lauren Graham in anything or nothing; Diane Lane in a heartbeat; Anne Bancroft in "the Graduate"; I could make a very long list.
But how do I not include Nicole Scherzinger??
Ooh, Lauren Graham! She never gets mentioned in these. Gotta admit, her crying "Fuck me, Santa" in Bad Santa was oddly hot.
And Diane Lane was insanely hot in Unfaithful.
I'd add Helen Hunt to the list, since we've been binging Mad About You for a few days now.

Are you sure you aren't a little Canadian?
Where the heck did you see any offense in your comment?
Dude, you have no idea. I'm Iowan, and like all Midwesterners I'm petrified of hurting someone's feelings, and mortified if I feel I've offended someone. Your response was terse, so I was worried.
Plus, I know beneath your gruff exterior hides a soft, chewy nougat center.

Even for questions, commands, etc.? I mean, dialogue is generally not just "he said, she said". There is "he asked" and "she replied" and such.
Agreed, though, on not directly attributing, though you have to be careful with that once there is more than two people involved. Can be confusing.
I use "ask," and "cry" and "yell" occasionally. It's not a hard and fast rule or anything. But "said" generally gets the job done.

All work just as well as said, though some are reserved for particular types of utterance. And I kind of regret the decline of adverbs. Sure, they used to overused in some writing but they have their moments. Just need to be used thoughtfully and sparingly.
I prefer he said, she said to these generally. Having a word obviously substituting for "said" tends to pull me out of the story.
Among my favorite tricks is not directly attributing dialogue, but having them perform an action in the same paragraph to let them know who is talking. E.g. - "Yes." He hung his head as he spoke.
I agree with mourning adverbs. They are often overused, but when you need one, you need one.

Thems fightin’ words. Less Than Zero. That’s a first date lay movie memory. Watch it every time it’s on television. But I won’t watch the series, if that’s what you’re saying exists.
How could you not love Suzanna Hough and Hazy Shade of Winter? Melancholic memories right there.
Direct your eyes to the top of the page. See what it says? Lush TV Thread? Notice it does not say "Crappy Movies Ping Remembers Solely Because He Got Laid That Night, And Now Watches Wistfully On TV, Remembering His Glory Days."
The cover of Hazy Shade of Winter does rock, though.

I hope everyone is enjoying the end of the year. I haven't been working for a fee weeks, but today is my last official day. I am making a light and simple New Year's Eve supper of linguini and chicken and broccoli and butter and parm. LJ is choosing the wine. Before supper I am venturing out of the house (boo!) to go with my youngest and her boyfriend to get a...wait for it...marriage license!
We hope to get married before my daughter.
We also hope to honeymoon on a train out to California and up the Pacific coast this summer (hi, sprite).
And because I want to end the year doing what I want to be doing in 2021, I promised myself to write, and to submit 4 stories today (I hate doing that).
Love and joy and peace, good sex and good words, to all. May your creativity soar in the coming year.
How about a coffee?

Quote by Charlotte_
Mine are all first person. But for me, the erotic part, the climax if you will, of a story isn't the sex, it's the consent, and it's easier to have my internal monologue show the moment of consent than to impute it from behavior described by another character or the omniscient POV.
I agree with past tense. Writing present-tense is really hard, except in second person. Or in chat....
That's really perceptive. In retrospect I can see that in your stories. Smart observation.
If I ever write erotica again I will keep it in mind.

Euphoria's second season premieres later in Jan. I'm rewatching the first season now. It's 89% on critics on Rotten Tomatoes and 85% among viewers.
Zendaya won a bunch awards for her role including the Emmy for best actress I believe.
This looks like Less Than Zero (which I hated), millennial edition. Is it better, I hope?
Mad About You is now on Prime. I'm a sucker for half hour sit-coms, and this is far better than most. We've binged most of the first season already.

Here's a weird one: I like to imitate any noises I hear--doorbell, various computer notifications, electronic noises--sometimes I do it without even noticing. Ting! Whoop! Bomp!
LJ is patient and says not a word, but I suspect it is kind of annoying.
She like to make up songs about the cats (and sometimes me) and serenade them (and sometimes me).

Hi my new bar friends!
Ping and Lyfbuz ... YOU CAN DO IT! They never close comps on time anyways. And Ping, I KNOW you had somethin' to do with the nasty hairball incident yesterday! Grrrrr!
Emma, happy your results were good. Hi to the rest of you lovelies and stud muffins, and my new pet, James.
Verbal, are you writing a novel?!? That is on my bucket list to do, but I need an idea first. Good luck to you.
On lunch break from work and no drinking allowed on the job. However, my unexpected Christmas present from them was a 20% pay cut/benefits cut, so filler up! Barkeep, you choose ... something to make Kimmi warm and tingly, please.
No novel, yet. I'm pumping out short stories and trying to get better at plotting, which I genuinely suck at (those of you who've read my stories here are nodding silently in agreement). I have an idea for one forming, and I suspect I will start one this year. But not quite ready yet.
I am DEEPLY psyched at the story I finished yesterday. Edit today, then look to send it off somewhere. Speaking of...I wrote a story called "Fuck Marry Kill" this year that I can't GIVE away. Don't ever put "Fuck" in the title of a story you'd like to sell.
HUGS
Kat, you hit a deer!? That is a crazy frightening experience. My condolences.
Fuzz, that I Love LA video is bonkers. Thanks for the tunes and donuts.
Coffee please.

I have been productive today! Spanked out 3000 words! Huzzah!
I'm currently locked in a battle with my right index finger having a massive twitching sesh though.Wouldn't be a major deal, but it twitches even when I'm using it so it's probably related to whatever neurological condition is affecting me which means it's now stuck with me for a few days at least. I do seem to have an appointment for my somatosensory evoked potentials in March (and hopefully no nerve conduction studies involving needles) so maybe that will get to the bottom of it. I just know I had a hard time chopping onions for dinner, but I won in the end.
3000! You go. I sweated blood to get down 900 today! Though I did finish a new story. New kind of monster too: a Wakwak. It's Filipino. Any Filipimos here?
Sorry about your right index finger. Maybe it's trying to tell you something in morse code.
I'd love some of Bunny Girl's cheesecake. And a bit of bourbon.

Huh, Verbal, you can still get Netflix movies via mail. We stream some of them but there are some movies and even television series (such as Six Feet Under) that you can only get via mail.
Ha! Who knew? My kids didn't believe me when I tell them Netflix used to only mail movies. I made them look it up on the internet. They believe the internet more than me.

Ummm... *squeaks* ... initiation??!!?? Backs slllooowwwlllyyy out of bar
Kimmi, let me give you a bit of advice. Imagine most of the things Ping says as being coming out of a tiny cartoon creature in a weird squeaky voice. It allows you to take his words with all the importance it should be taken in.
As V says, he's MADE OF DRUGS!
Anyway, welcome. We're all pretty chill here. Sometimes it's popular, sometimes it's dead, but Rump's will always be here, waiting for you, when you need it. In fact, for some of the barflies here (me), it's the only thread they visit here!
First HUGS to Gill, of course, the first lady of Rumps.
Made my 900 words yesterday. Just to have to go back and write 900 more today. It's like this writing crap is a JOB or something.
Xan, I actually saw my first instance of the word "ship" in an article outside of Urban Dictionary. It was clickbait for a Friends article about fans not shipping Joey and Rachael. Yes, it's embarrassing I took the bait and read it. But still.
We binged about a million hours of Mad About You this weekend. Such a good show. I've been crushing on Helen Hunt for decades.
Coffee would give me wings. Or words, anyway.

You should check out The Host / 2006 / Bong Joon-ho (if you haven't already, the guy kinda blew up recently). It's on Prime.
Few kaiju movies get past me. I saw this like a decade ago, when Netflix MAILED movies to you. Really fun. The director seems to have done pretty well for himself.

LOL Smalltimers.
A combine and log skidder. ( both for the purposes of pulling out stuck trucks, so kind of borrowing rather than stealing, though I doubt the people having to fix them after we hotwired them saw it that way ) More gasoline from gravity tanks than I can possibly enumerate. I could pick locks when I was around 12. Mastered the art of switching price tags back before scanners were a thing in flyover country. $50 Transformers for $5.99. ( Which I sold on Ebay years later for over $100 ) Ungodly amounts of change from vending machines. Nobody seemed to know how to properly operate a coin return lever, and it was like a slot machine every time I pulled one. Tons of fishing tackle and camping equipment. Lots of beer from garage fridges. Giant wrenches from mine cranes ( which we had this girl paint with scenes for a few bucks and sold for a premium as folk art decorations ) Boatloads of antiques from the 3-story abandoned orphanage in town. Unearthly amounts of copper wiring and piping from abandoned houses in the sticks. ( Set the wiring on fire and burn off the insulation before delivering to the scrap yard ) Trees. ( The sawmill paid big bucks for 8 foot sections of hardwood trees without taper and knots )
That's not counting all the scams we were running, and the legitimate ventures like catching snapping turtles when the fish weren't biting and keeping them in buckets of clean water that you changed until all the sludge was out of their system. Folks would pay good money for a turtle in a bucket of clean water.
Probably been more than 30 years since I pinched anything other than a slice of pizza from the supervisor's office, but we were rather enterprising when we were kids.
You stole TREES!? Like, entire trees!? Tell us more.
Good stories.
I had a roommate once who used go into abandoned/for sale old homes and steal small stained glass windows and old fixtures and stuff. I went with him once, we broke in, smoked a joint and listened to the house settle while I screwed up my nerve. We removed a small octoganal glass window with a crowbar. I have to admit it was really fun. I even wrote a story about it. Wish I still had the window.

Me, I got a question. Jeff and G (Rumplations answer to Siskel and Ebert) were going on about the film, 'Queen's Gambit'. It got me to wondering if anyone as delved into the book, 'Queen's Gambit'? Word is it's a good read. Anybody care to share their opinion?
Congrats to Carl for the Chiefs win over Buz's Falcons
I'd bloviate even more about that and other issues of interest if not real importance but supper is served and that most definitely IS important.
Any drink orders before I chow down?

It's supposed to be a really good book, Bill. It's based on a real person too, though very loosely. The real chess player didn't have drop-dead gorgeous looks and dress like a fashion model. And didn't have substance abuse issues. I'd read it.
We saw a cool little low budget, indie horror movie called Host. It's an hour long and takes place totally inside a Zoom call. A good, inventive effort, and worth the $3 on Prime.
Starting my first full day of my new writing schedule. 900 words by the end of the day.
I hope the post-Christmas holidays are treating everyone well.

You're an excellent writer in many genres and I'm sure your latest project, whatever the subject matter may be, is excellent. I hope you feel the urge to write erotica again someday.
Aw, thanks Mags. It's actually kinda frustrating, I'd like to return to it, but my brain doesn't automatically go there like it used to (and I like the weird places it's going currently). Someday. Happy holidays, Mags!

That wonder woman 1984 film.
So wack.
Then again, I'm not into these types of stupid films.
Word.
I don't think I can pull off saying they're "wack," but they are unwatchable. Even the "important" superhero movies like WW and Black Panther are unwatchable (to me, I'm not dumping on anyone else's opinion). The fights go on for hours, and everything's too loud, and they all follow seem to be plotted by committee. They give me a headache. I enjoyed the first 2 Iron Mans and the first 2 Avengers a great deal. But then, with all the money pouring in, the movies got all big and bloated and unwieldy.
Now get off my lawn!

Once I was totally broke and hungry as fuck and I stole a box of crackers and a brick of cream cheese. It tasted SO good. I went back a couple weeks later to pay the guy back. He was a real dick about it.
I also stole Diary of the Plague Years, by Daniel Defoe, from the Mpls. Public Library. A ridiculously beautiful book, with woodcut illustrations. It has a treasured space on my bookshelf even now. Maybe I'll pay them back one day.
