The Livin' End...game. ~~ A "Comical Wednesday" Post (on a Friday!)

"Awww, crap...!" Oh, well, there was a 50/50 chance of this...

Damn! Avengers: Endgame delivers, from the initial surprise that Dr. Strange faked his "dissolving" in Avengers: Infinity War just so he could work behind the scenes against Thanos, to the scene where Thanos tells Captain Marvel "My methods may have been flawed, but my motives were pure!"

So now we're supposed to consider Thanos an antihero? And as far as this whole proposed "Thanos and the New Avengers" franchise goes? I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. I suppose they had to try something after killing off Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor (due to all three of their contracts expiring), but... No, no, no, I'm just kidding! I won't give you any spoilers here! But the movie was incredible. Go see it for yourself, ASAP!

Thanks for your time.

A Place Holder of Sorts...

I suppose you could say that the main reason I'm posting this is so you don't have to keep looking at a corpse's feet.

I've been busy doing several things, and admittedly one of those things is that I've been playing a lot on Facebook. It's quite a "time-suck," which is close to -- but not necessarily the same thing as -- a time-waster. I'm having fun there, and I must admit I haven't been having a hell of a lot of fun on this blog lately.

More to come on that, hopefully soon.

I will take this opportunity to apologize to those of you whose blogs I haven't visited and/or commented on lately. I'll make my rounds in the very near future. No, really.

What else have I been working on, you may wonder? About ten years ago, I finished a book called My Island, a memoir. Now, after changing all the names and a few minor details, I'm now calling it a "roman a clef." More on that later, and again, "hopefully soon."

That's all for now. Sorry I wasn't more entertaining.

Thanks for your time.

A Body of Work? ~~ A "Grammar Nazi" Post!

I know, I know, I'm always complaining about spelling and grammar errors that I find, and this time's no exception. They wrote "body's" when they meant "bodies." But cut me some slack this time. I am deservedly outraged, because this mistake was in the 2008 edition of the Writer's Market!

Thanks for your time.

A Moving Experience

So.

I was sitting at my desk this morning, with plenty of time before I had to get ready for a 10:45 doctor's appointment, when my phone rang.

The woman calling told me she was calling about that very appointment; two nurses had called in sick, so she said she either had to "reschedule" me or "move" me.

"What exactly do you mean by 'move' me?" I asked.

We both laughed.

She replied "We have an opening today at 1:45."

"Well, that would still be 'rescheduling' me, wouldn't it?" I asked.

She agreed that it was.

"That's why you made me wonder when you said 'move' me," I explained.

Just sayin'.

Thanks for your time.
