THE TITLE IS: FREE MEXICAN COFFEE

Mexican Coffee is ready for anyone to download if you wish to read this free little brief story about the chaos of what happens when an Angel is stripped and denied the right to dream and what happens when a writer write just how he thinks.

The next thing I have coming out will be REFRESHING BORING DEADLY; which will be a PDF writing collection which you can download for $1.00. This will be avaliable on Thursday night.

THE TITLE IS: ANGELIC JONES....Wait, sounds like a porno name...

Last night Wave brought home Kevin Smith: My Boring-Ass Life which I had been waiting for from the library for a long time. It has been on hold for me for about six months now. I started reading some of it last night and this morning. Since she did not have to work today we make a couple of library trips and I picked up Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days-Vol.1(which seems to be a slightly more tame and YA version of the story from what I've read so far) Catch-22, the movie(I spotted a poster for this while watching The L-Word the other night and told myself, you know you have never actually watched that movie, so I checked it out today)Catch And Release(we went to the theater for this when it first came out because Kevin Smith is in it and I thought I would check it out for a review) and to round out my library take aways I picked up Volume 1, discs 3-6 of The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones. I should go through all of that tonight.

Writing wise I'm finishing up the final touches on Mexican Coffee and Refreshing Boring Deadly which will be available at LuLu to download at the end of this month. The first for free and the second for a small small fee.

THE TITLE IS: MEXICAN COFFEE AND SNOW

I really do not feel like writing today. I really do not have the fire from deep inside that forces me on even when all I wish to do is give up but I will not be giving up today because I have learned one of the biggest lessons you can learn as a writer and it has nothing to do with structure, grammar, spelling, or any other shit that happens to be a weakness of mine. The lesson is the one of when you have a notion to call yourself a writer then you must also see there will be many many days when all you want to be doing is nothing but what you have to do is write.

So to save a little bit of my soul I will write here and then go off to work on MEXICAN COFFEE which is a maddening story that is doing just what I want it to, but when you are as nuts as I am, sometimes that is not the best thing.

Here are a few Opinion Reviews of some materials I have checked out of the library recently. I'm sitting on half of a journal of these type of reviews that I have written but I will only start with a couple today though. I will write about reading Transformers: Generations Vol. 1 and Batman:Snow.

TRANSFORMERS: GENERATIONS VOLUME ONE
IDW
BY, Bob Budiansky

These are an IDW look back reprinting of classic Transformers comics. I have not checked out any of IDW's Transformer new line of stories but the thing I love about these older books is how much humanity plays into things through human politics, human greed, and human interactions with the robots in disguise.
I checked this collection out of the library. The only Transformers book I have in my personal collection is
Prime Targets: The Unauthorized Story Guide To Transformers. What can I say I'm a crack head for story guides. I still want the G.I. Joe guide.
To end before I start a ramble about my love for story guides I will further state that I enjoyed this collection and recommend it to Transformers fans. Maybe I should see if the library has any of IDW's new line of stories? Any Transformer fans out there wish to recommend any trades to me?

BATMAN:SNOW
DC COMICS
BY, Dan Curtis Johnson, J.H. Williams III; Seth Fisher

Mr. Freeze has always been one of my favorite of all of Batman's enemies since the first time I saw him on BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. When I spotted Batman: Snow at the library I had to pick it up. The art by Seth Fisher was different and I quite enjoy different. I really took to the sharpness the art style gave to Gothem City especially.
The story by Johnson and Williams is of course a re-telling of the origin of Mr. Freeze but Snow also tackles angles I think Batman would have taken early in his vigilante carrer. I highly recommend this to true lovers of the Batman myths and stories about Bruce Wayne's early years as the Dark Knight.

Ok, now I'm off to tackle MEXICAN COFFEE. I wish I had some right now.

THE TITLE IS: COFFEE CORNER COKE CRACK COOKER

I have a smoothie in one hand which ='s my morning meal and a coke in the other which ='s the first sip of addiction for the day. Had a really good night hanging out with one of our best friends The Queen last night. Wave made Reese's brownies, I made veggie nuggets, and we all watched, Sweeney Todd and Ed Wood. A good night over all and this was the Queen's first time to visit us since we added two more to our family.

Wave has a NOW meeting today so I will either clean up the place a little or work on Mexican Coffee, Refreshing Boring Deadly, or something else story wise that is pricking at my brain like a hungry vulture. Now I could end up sitting on the couch watching some DVDs I have viewed 800 times before like episodes of M*A*S*H while also working on notes for the next Tin Universe book...well, it is highly likly that maybe the case that may come to pass but either way I will be getting some writing work done that needs to be worked on.

Speaking of the lady I love again, she has a work trip coming up and I will be using the time to mock up a press kit for a project that I should be at least announcing some details about soon while she is off doing her thing.

Though things kind of suck for me personal right in in so many ways in other ways things are actually looking ok...knock on wood.....or if you are in arms length, my head....

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. I'm going to try and get myself in the habit of cross posting these in Live Journal when I mention any projects I'm working on. I know I will not always do this and this is still the best place to hear all my ranting, rambling, and general personal B.S. but until I have time to set up a feed into that community I need to at least make my shadow fall more often upon those grounds....hey, I almost sounded like a writer there?

THE TITLE IS: WRITING AND PIMPING

Threw about three thousand new words into Mexican Coffee this morning. By the evening I chipped that down to a cool thousand words of good writing on the project which to add a reminder is going to be free online as a PDF in May. Speaking of reminders below are some links if anyone wishs to buy or in the case of the free stuff just suffering through the reading without losing any cash.

THE TITLE IS: NOT CUTE ENOUGH FOR HOTDOGS

From the library the other day I brought home the DVD sets of Michael Palins: Around The World In Eighty Days and The Office: The First Season(British original of course.) Both of these programs I had viewed before but a few years ago, 80 Days a long time ago, and enjoyed both then and now on a second watching. I love a good late night watching. Watchings include Pepsi or any soda, french fries preferred but you can also replace with chips or pizza on my birthday, some sort of dip for all the bits that fall off all the bits of the stuff above, and a Moleskine near by in case any sugar fits lead to any worthwhile ideas or not so worthwhile as some cases are judged.

After working on Mexican Coffee during the morning hours I came into the living room and hung out with the cats for a while watching My Name Is Earl, season one which is from Wave's collection. As soon as I run into some extra cash, if the concept still exists, I want to get her Season Two. Speaking of the lady I love, she came home for lunch and I made her two grilled cheeses and myself a feta cheese homemade hotpocket with mushrooms also and together we watched more Earl.

My days task was to watch the balcony in case it starts to rain because then I would have to race in our cloths from the line and the fold up couch. I failed in my days task. This case was judged- DUMBASS!

I packed Wave's dinner before she headed back to work and thus my day was Coffee, Earl, grilled cheese, and failure. See this is way I don't do these type of daily routine blogs. I get way too emo. Now I'm off the net to go do the dishs.

THE TITLE IS: THE CATS TRIED TO TAKE MY SUSHI FROM ME

The cats got us up early this morning. This happening today was ok though since Wave had to get up early anyways but neither of us are morning people and if this starts to be a daily thing we might have to sit the boys down for a discussion. Still trying to get everything good for them here. We still need to buy another litter box and get the bedroom all cleaned up and cat friendly. They seem to be settled in much better now. Last night they ran around and played with each other for a long time as we were eating dinner. We still need to brake them of some bad habits they got before they came to us, like trying to eat human food, but other wise things should be ok once we get another litter box and get them back to the vet for check ups to make sure they are ok or heading in the right direction at least. I know Garfield really hates being in doors now and looks at the window almost all day long...well, when he isn't chasing Salem or me....

I tried to email a photo last night of the sushi I made but it didn't go through right for some reason? I'm still working on getting everything straight so I can post little bits from my phone from time to time when not at a computer.

Today I'm going to be working on a little brief PDF story which will be FREE for all to view later this month called MEXICAN COFFEE. After that and still during this month, I will also be releasing a small writing collection called REFRESHING BORING DEADLY which will be available for $1.00 as a PDF download as well.

But before I do any of that it is early morning food time and then garbage, then put up last nights dishes from the dish washer, and then....?
