David Carradine, the star of Kung Fu: The Legend, has died. He apparently committed suicide in Bangkok.

Im so saddened by this. If David Carradine cant make it, who can :(

Using it now. I officially am geek material.

I put up a zip FREE 'ebook' of my homeless stories. Some are a bit dusty, but I'm hoping they will do:

btw, giveawayoftheday.com is a very cool site. I made that icon on a freebie they offered not too long ago, and it worked exactly as I needed it to. Not an easy feat. *sagely nods*.

And boy, do I need to see her as often as possible. I don't know what it is, just seeing that icon makes me happy.

I need that happiness, since Fox news keeps trashing my country--Honestly, after the whole Gutfeld thing, you'd think Fox news would know enough to keep their ignorance of their neighbour to the north and their racial slurs against their neighbours to the south on the down low. I guess we hoped for too much:

But it's okay, really. Thanks to Jimmy Fallon's understanding of The Power Of Susan Boyle, it's all good:

Is it wrong to have handwritten a Scrubs fic wherein Elliot basically rapes Janitor solely for the purpose of getting preggo?

Is it wrong that Janitor comes to terms with this because of a documentary he sees on Animal Planet?

I thought so. (shelves it away from the light and keeps it in the darkness of dark where it belongs...)

I saw this clip from the latest Britain's Got Talent:

For whatever reason, it won't let me embed, but I do encourage you: Go and watch that clip. Just watch Simon's face, it's bloody priceless. You'll be happy to see the world get a HUGE reality check on what talent really means.

She seems like such a nice lady, and I bet she makes a mean cuppa tea. And how awesome is it that she brought her own sandwich? No proper Scottish lady *I* know leaves the house without her own thermos of tea and a wrapped sandwich in her purse! LOL!

TEAM SUSAN BOYLE FOR THE WIN!!!

The Random Eye is now on Twitter: http://twitter.com/TheRandomEye

Future updates to the ezine and tweets for contributing authors will be there.

Twitter is fun. It truly speaks to my fluttering, ADHD heart.

I finally brushed off some l33t css skills (okay, I used a template, but I did alter it considerably), and I'm very proud of the new layout. Take a look here: http://therandomeye.says.it

We're still actively seeking submissions for next year's anthology, and since there are so many talented people on my friendslist, I know you can come up with something. The theme and guidelines for the 2010 edition are as follows:

The Random Eye is seeking speculative and horror fiction that concentrates on the theme of parallel universes. Please keep the anthology theme in mind when submitting your story as those stories that do not fit the theme will not be considered.


The theme for the next edition of The Random Eye is TEA. In fact, I’m enjoying a cuppa right now. We want stories with tea and its use in an alternate universe as the central theme. Time, place, planet, it’s all wide open. Whether it’s sweetened with sugar or honey, or you like your chai basic black, we ask only that you write a story about it and its influence upon the world as it is consumed.

Payment is $10 per story, regardless of length. We accept stories at a minimum of 2, 000 words to a maximum of 10, 000 words. Payment is made strictly through Paypal. Stories are to be submitted as a .txt or .rtf format attachment to your email, with the words 'STORY SUBMISSION: Your Title' in the subject line of your email. Please do NOT use standard manuscript format (ie: double spaced, tabbed indents for paragraphs). Stories are to be submitted single-spaced with a double space between paragraphs instead of tabbed indents. Be sure to include your author information along with your preferred email for correspondence.

Send all submissions to: pinkbagels@gmail.com

I'm a big tea fanatic, so I'm very excited about this next edition. And hell, I'll let you cheat with coffee, if you must, I'm an equal opportunity caffeine junkie!

Getting better at this css thing. I think I'm going to redo The Random Eye page as well.

My Author Page.

In other news, I'm catching up on some television addictions. Why didn't anyone tell me how awesome 'Dead Like Me' was? And to think Mandy Pantinkin went from this to Criminal Minds (sorry, if you're a fan...I'm so not into that show.)

I've also developed a very weird crush on the Janitor from Scrubs. (wtf?). I think I need to get my water tested.

(Words say so little...Only an image can speak properly...)
