Today's Special

WRITTEN: Last night at home, but then I went upstairs
to read in bed with Sara and fell asleep
SENT: At work in the bookstacks, on my break

Okay, lotta ground to cover here but I don’t wanna
bore the living pants off of you.
Whoa. Living pants. That’s kinda creepy.

In any event, here’s the deal, short as I can make it:

1) Two more items of food porn are on their way
later today,

2) Good idea for a movie night: “People in Small
Metal Rooms” with Vincenzo Natali’s CUBE (1997) and
Ryuhei Kitamura’s ALIVE (2002). Check IMDB for both,

3) A couple people asked for details on the food.
The first one was a veggie burger with red onions,
lettuce, and mustard with fries dripping with malt
vinegar. It was from Murphy’s Bar and Grill. Next
was a Thai dish from Sukhothai Café. It was called
“Khao Moo Dang,” and it was a sweet sorta red sauce on
barbecue beef on white rice. The soup was a clear
chicken broth. The little bowl next to it was a hot
dipping sauce-thing.

4) Somewhere in my head is a screenplay pitting
Dracula against Chinese Hopping Corpses (like THE
SEVEN BROTHERS MEET DRACULA, aka LEGEND OF THE SEVEN
GOLDEN VAMPIRES, only *good*. For now, however, I’m
content with finishing “Receiver.” Then you’ll get
Jesuits fighting Buddhist monks and Dracula doing
“No-Shadow” kicks, etc. Ooh! Idea! More towards the
end of this,

5) I’ll be reposting all of “Receiver” today,
comments are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. Oops, could you
pick up that hint I dropped?

6) Yes, with “Receiver” and two bits of Food Porn,
that means about four things from me today. Cope. :D

7) Cleanskies, she’s all cool and shit. Jeremy Dennis is her name. Yes,
Jeremy is a she. Be quiet. She makeses good
drawingses. She’s on LiveJournal. In any event, I’m
now going to be hopelessly addicted to
http://www.flickr.com. I even have two photos ready
for the Secret Life of Toys group that I need to post
when I get home.

8) My friend pensylvania_joe, put a writing assignment on his
LiveJournal. Kinda like my, “300 words or less, must
start with the sentence, ‘I woke up this morning to
find that I had shot myself in the foot,” assignment.
His opening sentence is, “Somehow, I’d known that
wouldn’t be the end of things. He wants exactly 415
words. Here’s my entry:

( “Somehow, I’d known that wouldn’t be the end of things,” )

Food Porn #3

( BEAN CURD PORN!!! )

Homestyle Bean Curd, Steamed Rice, and Hot Tea
Empire Chinese Restaurant, Champaign, Illinois

Best home-style tofu in town, which is saying a lot
for a town with about 15 Chinese restaurants.

( SAMMICH PORN!!! )

Last night, Sara recreated a sammich (every sammich is
a sandwich, but not every sandwich is a sammich) that
she made for me over the weekend.

A huge portabello mushroom, sauteed with Marasala
cooking wine and a few other ingredients, topped with
green onion and asparagus, served on an Egg Kaiser
roll.

*Drool*

The grapes were a nice touch...

Receiver

Okay, kids, here's "Receiver" to date.
I think it'll be in the style of Barthelme's Q/A stories when it's done.
Or a two person play. Whatever. In any event,

I DEMAND COMMENTS!

This is what I'm willing to make public right now.
The last part is later on in the story, but so be it.

Like my writings, rants, etc?
Please tell a friend. :D
They can get the same content as my LJ at my Composite Molecules listserv.

Now, READ READ READ--> ( Receiver )
