I've been watching reruns of 20/20 to relax...
(I know, weird, right?)
There are a lot less master criminals committing crimes than mystery novels have led me to believe.
People, I have notes.

Proofing my Christmas anthology and pleased that it is putting me in a holly and jolly mood. (Since my holiday is Halloween, these are some high test, potent Christmas stories).

Playing a complicated game where I move files from format to format so I can break the DRM on books I've actually written so that I can save the files and edit as needed.
Because the system is so tight that it protects me from myself.

Re-editing an old story that I've gotten the rights back to.
Very few mistakes as it was professionally edited before. Removed a couple of prepositions, changed one word...
And discovered I misspelled Almack's!!!!!!!!
Oh, dear. That's like being a demon with a 'Hail Satin' tattoo.

On a quest for a book cover design and using my standard, fatally bad instincts.
Why is no one else doing what I want to do? And should I take this as a hint?

It took me two days to do a simple, three step process.
But a computer was involved.

That Gatsby party. Damn.
Living in a world of 24/7 irony is still not as fun as I thought it was going to be.
Also, too many people didn't pay attention in high school english.

I am pretty sure I don't want to waste my time watching "Werewolves of the Third Reich".
But I will carry that title in my head for a while and be glad that someone made it. The idea makes me smile.

The fate of all non sports fans. Checking the feed. Then checking the news and figuring it's probably about the game.
In other news, I revised over 60 pages today.

My favorite scene from all the Universal movies is the opening of THE MUMMY where Karloff wakes up. So understated, but still creepy.

Back from the new FRANKENSTEIN. A beautiful movie full of beautiful people. A moving story and a great score. See it on the big screen, if you can.

Watching the precode version of DR JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE on TMC.
Not only is he a rapist. He doesn't tip the waiter. So, kind of a bastard, all around.

Relaxing to the TCM horror marathon. CURSE OF THE DEMON, on now, is immortalized in the opening song of Rocky Horror,
Dana Andrews said prunes, gave him the runes...
Good movie. Sad demon costume, but we can't have everything.

Watching CRIMSON PEAK while I kill people off the page with consumption in my own book.
Edith really is as dumb as a bag of hammers. I'd have had my bags packed and cabled Charlie Hunham for a train ticket about three ghosts ago.
