So earlier today I started a piece of fiction. Yeah that’s right
I’m writing again. I’m still pretty medicated and after reading it again
decided it wasn’t ready to post. It’s far too long, and way more ramble like
than I’d like for it to be as it goes onto the interwebs for anyone to find. So
I’m going to keep working on it and will share it with you all one day, just
not today, maybe not tomorrow and frankly maybe never. However if it’s not this
piece it will be another, that’s the thing about writing as you write it you
either get a good vibe from what you wrote or you delete the file and pretend
it never existed. That’s the great thing about writing. IF I don’t tell anyone
I’m doing it then no one is disappointed when I don’t produce. Mental note to
self don’t tweet that you are writing cause then the pressure and expectation
is on and writers block takes over.
Since Dragon Con I’ve been sick, not as bad as Golden but then I’m
not a Medical Marvel. Between my cough medicine, the 4 shots, and the 3
antibiotics I’m on it’s amazing I can even string a sentence together. I’m felt
more human this weekend than I have in the last two weeks. I had
to get up this Saturday and run some important errands which wore me out by the
end of the day. This sickness is getting old. Like Golden as of Sunday I was
still looking at suitcases with un-worn clothes still in them, I just haven’t
had the energy or time with a crazy work schedule to get them unpacked. I did
do laundry this weekend and changed the sheets on my bed so that’s a win for
me.
As I said I also ran some errands … and what did I discover as I
ventured back out into the world … HALLOWEEN had sprung. Ok sure most of it was
CANDY but still I like candy. Walmart had some costumes out, ironically some of
the adult sizes. Nothing was on the floor yet, everything in a neat and tidy
place cause little hands hadn’t found the isle yet. I also discovered the
Spirit store is set up and has started loading all their Halloween goodness
into the stores. That’s a small parking lot, it’s going to be a nightmare and I
can’t wait for it. I haven’t ventured to Party City yet, the mecca of all
things costume but yes I can feel that trip coming and coming soon.
What I’m most excited about is that TV Networks are starting to
post their October plans. I’m looking at you ABC Family, AMC, and Syfy. I LOVE
IT! This is the earliest they’ve revealed this information. Usually this time
of year they are focused on their season premier week and promoting their “new
shows” hoping they will be the next big thing. Truthfully with no How I Met
Your Mother premier who cares what’s coming on. However last night …. FOOD
NETWORK HAD A COMMERICAL FOR HALLOWEEN WARS!!!!! It returns October 5th !!! It's by far my most favorite thing
on earth. It’s a pumpkin carver, a sugar artist, and a cake decorator who will work
together to make a cohesive design for the given theme of the week. IT’s by far
the best reality competition show on TV seriously … watch it…fall in love with
it. It doesn’t hurt that Justin Willman is the host of the show, he’s awesome
and fantastic. BTW he has a new show coming up on Comedy Central Sleight of Mouth but don't worry i'll tell you all about that when he does. It too will be must see TV!
So why all this interest in
October TV, cause I create a Halloween TV schedule. It’s funny cause it started
out as something I did for Golden and myself, then I gave it to my Sister In Law for my
nephews, and she gave it to a few people and then they gave it to a few people
and now there’s an huge email list of people this thing goes to. People who I work
with send me an e-mail asking about it, people I used to work with who send me
e-mails reminding me to put them on the list. Heck Golden starts asking about
it in August. Ha! It’s a mixture of Movies, Halloween themed TV shows, cartoons
both classic and new and a little adult/kid mix. I also make one for Christmas
but it’s gotten insane with Hallmark and Lifetime doing everything they can to
extend the season well before Halloween.
So stay tuned cause this year I’ll
be posting it here so that you can enjoy it, if interested. There are rules…as
always but we’ll deal with those later!
Happy Monday! Have a fantastic week! - Marcy
