Jerry's House of Ass Beating

This is something I wrote when I was working in the Park Service for the first time, and may be amusing to- okay I'm posting it because I thought it might amuse eruthros because we were talking about the 30's on twitter. I wrote this a quatrillion years ago, and it is a description of how exactly to don women's daily- not formal, as this does not include a proper foundation garment- attire from the late 1930's.

No part of this is an exaggeration.

( How to Dress )

bendingwind asked me a five things question! So here is my answering:

What five fictional universes would you want to live in?

Uh, this is really hard, because I tend to like fiction with, y'know, dystopias or constant grave danger and such (I mean, I can't even go to the Harry Potter universe, because I'm just at the right age to have been present and really young at the final battle with Voldemort). But we'll see.

1. The universe of Ghost in the Shell. Still a little dystopic in places, but also really cool.
2. Middle Earth. I've never decided what race I would be. Possibly a dwarf. We can't all be Istari.
3. The universe of The Belonging Kind by William Gibson. Which might if I wasn't lucky just be a run of the mill universe. But.
4. Collinsport. Because the idea of living in a soap opera is HILARIOUS to me, you have no idea. Also, vampires, ghosts, and possibly a phoenix. But no Paul. There never was a Paul.
5. Agatha Christie, A.D. You know what I'm talking about. That fuzzy period between the 20's and 40's where everyone drinks a lot, gets up at three in the afternoon, and throws lovely parties. Sure, people die sometimes, but hey, that's the price of the good life, especially since there never seems to have been a Great Depression. I'd trade it.

Comment and I will give you your own five-things question!

IRON MAN

Things that are not spoilery:

1. Was halfway to theater before I realized that I had a ticket for the 9PM showing and not the 10PM. Whoops. Turned out okay though, because I got there by like 9:10, during the interminable trailers and trailer trailers.
1a. How did I know know Katee Sackhoff was on a new show? I mean, I'm not gonna watch it, but.
2. Did I mention interminable trailers? Now want to see Man of Steel even less than previously, which is kind of impressive.
3. Driving home listening to Motley Crue at midnight is the way one should always exit an Iron Man film.

Things that are spoilery:

( AAAAAAAAAAAH )

From kate (and others): Here are the last twenty-one first lines I wrote in fanfic! Several of these are from stories with multiple chapters, so they are the first lines of the last chapter posted.

( Spot the one that's not Marvel for a prize )

I have new things on my etsy store! I finally figure out how to digitize my cross stitch patterns (KG-Chart came into my life, and nothing will ever be the same), so I've put a couple up for sale:

-A lovely rendition of the Deadpool insignia, complete with inspirational quote

-A Bender sampler, with blackjack, and hookers

Please enjoy, won't you?

The Nashville Scene did an article about our dungeon! \o/ And it is actually a good one, with no kinkbashing! \o/

So if you ever wanted to know about it (with pictures!) please proceed to this article. Hurrah!

You wanted, here it is.

Time for another foray into EL James's work of great beauty, Fifty Shades of Grey. Please consult this tag for previous editions.

I will, as usual, be liveblogging this process in this entry. I will give you the same caveats as my co-conspirator coffeesuperhero:

Things I cannot promise you:

+ that I will be funny
+ that I will be sorry for doing this
+ that you will enjoy this in any way

Things I can promise you:

+ I will definitely think I'm funny
+ I will drink a lot

Finally, don't try this at home, kids. (I'm guessing that's going to be a general theme for the book, by the way.)

Let me make a promise to you as well, flist: In this entry, as the others, you will not find me mocking the readers of this "fine" novel. I will be placing blame where it should be placed: on the author, editors, publishers, and characters of this abomination before the Lord. That's also what I expect in the comments. Got it?

I would like to remind you as well that anything I put in "double quotes" is a direct quote from the book. Anything in 'single quotes' is me fucking around. You will think I am fucking around more than I am, trust me.

( Mix your drink and let's begin. )

And at page 271, my children, THAT is as much as I can take of this fucking book. Christ on his throne. I had a drink and a half, but I need SO many more.

God almighty.

I wrote a tutorial that some people around these parts might enjoy! It's on the tumblr and I don't want to recode it, so here it is: how to make an AO3 series into one single EPUB with Sigil.

Hurrah for EPUB!
