Nothing got changed today, and nothing got written. On the plus side, my kitchen is clean and my belly is full and my mind is rotted by those movies. Yeah! Good ol’ single life on a saturday night!

Apparently she just liked the dark brooding feel of underworld. Me, I thought the story was ok, much could have been made better in rewriting the script. Recasting it would have been a bad idea…nothing says ‘Hot Movie Seller’ like Kate Beckinsdale running around in tight leather…whoa. ‘Nuff said. Once upon a time in Mexico didn’t have enough of Salma Hayek, but ‘s ok. Lots a crap got blowed up.

Mindless beer and movie night! I’m ordering pizza and I’ve got some Roughrider American Lager(which is damned tasty), and I’ve got Underworld and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. The first I got because Audrey from Merlot At Midnight seemed to like it, and the second well….shit gets blowed up, guns are firin’ and Salma Hayek…whoa. ‘Nuff said.

Ok, the Wheel of Time series is pissing me off, ROYALLY. The last one, Winter’s Heart, was pretty damned good, the one before that was way too slow. And the newest one, The Crossroads of Twilight I just finished reading. What were my impressions of it? I say Robert Jordan gets THROTTLED. I don’t give a damn what happens to the bitchy aes sedai or egwene or elayne trakand or any of the sub characters. I want action dammit! You force feed me another 822 page book with approximately 100 pages that actually have something happening, and there will massive problems. SON OF A BITCH. If he’d just leave off the stupid-ass ‘political intrigues’ and write the damned story, it’d have been over by now!
Ok. Here’s my problem with the political intrigues. There’s too many damned characters! And when a book comes out roughly once every two years, I can’t keep track of the f’ing characters! AND I DON’T CARE ABOUT SOMEONE I DON’T KNOW ABOUT. And for God’s sake man! Toss some dialogue into your writing! Rather than tell us what’s happening, SHOW us what’s happening!
And as for your new novel, New Spring, you oughta be slapped. Don’t write a f’ing prequel to your saga UNTIL you’ve got the GODDAMNED THING COMPLETED!!! I don’t care what happened beforehand until I know what happens now!

Heed my warning, Robert Jordan, or feel my wrath!

Robert Jordan, famous author, call me. We need to talk.

Looks like this is a failed darwin award winning situation.
