  • Mood: tired
  • Music: The Monster High fright song.

Stuff and things and stuff and also more stuff and where's the floor?

Item the first: remember that I currently have a random-number giveaway for Deadline and some swag gathering entries. I'll be picking my three winners tomorrow. For details on how to enter and what you can potentially win, please see the post I've linked above. Go ahead. I can wait.

Item the second: this has literally been sitting in my link soup for a year, waiting for me to find something that makes it topical. As I have failed, I am now providing the link in isolation, because it amuses me. Moshez comments on zombies and weapons, and why my Horror Survival FAQ is sometimes sub-optimal. Join me in giggling.

Item the third: while I'm linking to random crap that makes me smile, here. Have the Animal Review review of the deep sea anglerfish. They give the anglerfish an overall F for being horrifying and upsetting and not really very friendly at all. Amusingly enough, these are all the reasons I give the anglerfish an overall A. For AWESOME.

Item the fourth: I can't remember if I ever actually linked to these, despite their being, you know, mad awesome, so here. Have a link to some absolutely gorgeous icons that were made using lyrics from my latest album, Wicked Girls. The icons, which are by snowishness, cannot help but make me happy, and so I am sharing them with you.

Item the fifth: Megan Lara's art is pure hammered awesome.

Item the sixth: I managed to find the Dead Tired Frankie Stein doll last night, which means a) I now have all the individual Dead Tired dolls except for Cleo De Nile, who I'm hoping to find this weekend, b) everyone at my local Toys R Us knows me on sight, and c) I am a total nerd. I am, thus far, a total nerd who has managed to resist the lure of the ball-jointed Soom doll, however, so I'm calling this a win for me, even as I call it a loss for my shelf space.

Item the seventh: I am so tired it physically hurts. I have to sleep tonight, or I'm just going to dissolve off my own bones like an overcooked chicken or one of those airline passengers in the first episode of Fringe. I didn't sleep at all on Tuesday night, and last night was our first really hot night of the summer, so the cats kept waking me up to freak out. Please play nicely today, as I may start to tremble and cry otherwise.

What's news with you?

I understand the tireds

At 3:45AM this Monday someone in the parking lot of suburban/ruralish apartment complex very, very loudly informed the cops that "You ain't got nuthin'!" You ain't got no fuckin' evidence! You ain't got no fuckin' witnesses! Fuck you! Fuck you all!"... repeatedly, till they proved that apparently not having 'no fuckin' witnesses' or 'no fuckin' evidence' does not mean you won't get your ass hauled off.

Every day since I've been waking up at about 3:40AM (instead of 5:10 when my alarm is set for) and I wish it would stop.

I'm eye aching tired.

I so undersand the tireds.

So far the only good thing about this, is that my cat Shiro will come over when I wake up and pat me on the face to reassure me. He's a very sweet kitty.
