Death Mettle: the soundtrack to power through the death cold of death

Posted on by

As I said on Fedbook, I im in the grip of a grippe so bad it’s almost a mancold, but I’m a woman, so I can handle it.

But I can handle it much better with some power tunes and a hot bath and there’s no bathtub here, only a shower, so the power tunes had best be pretty damn powerful.

So, here they are.

Lily Allen is a goddess. She’s also vulgar as shit, so it took me a long time to look past the laddishness to see the authenticity there.

I think their awesome hairstyles give them super powers.

I’m not generally into grills, but gold vampire fangs have a certain appeal.

Sigh. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to operate Facebook unsupervised. I got this message from someone who’d been ragging on a friend of mine. She claims to be a paralegal. Then she messaged me, apparently about me? I dunno.

    Here is her profile Susan. I am working on the other but, afraid this person may be deeply involved as well. If you can call Bill and get him to begin getting all the others in the groups involved. However, do not forget to include this person.

Yep, it’s happening! After a two-year layoff from teaching, I’m doing a new workshop, Blogging Basics for Writers, for the Vancouver School of Writing on October 1.

This one-evening course (which can be taken in person or virtually) will teach writers what they need to know in order to create their own blog, fill it, and use it to promote their writing, teaching, and other endeavors. Here’s the official blurb:

This virtual & live course is for writers interested in blogging. It lays out the basic principles behind building a blog which accurately and
professionally expresses you as an author. You’ll learn about the ins and outs of digital copyright, best practices for guest blogging and outreach, and how to handle the dreaded comments section. This is a non-technical course that will give you a solid grounding so you’re ready to move on and…

This worm f/cks itself in the head and we should all probably just kill ourselves

Here’s your pull quote:
“You see, scientists have recently discovered Macrostotum hystrix, a worm so disgusting you’re liable to start thinking that even jazz fusion wasn’t so bad by comparison.”

Morpheme Tales

oroborosThe worm has turned

Is there anything worse than humanity? Between the Charleston shootings, the rash of killings of unarmed men by law enforcement, and ISIS, our species has fewer and fewer unashamed apologists.

Surely humanity is the worst.

Until and unless of course you look at any other species. Then, holy crap, all bets are off. We start to look good and suddenly everyone remembers fish have yet to produce a Michelangelo.

You see, scientists have recently discovered Macrostotum hystrix, a worm so disgusting you’re liable to start thinking that even jazz fusion wasn’t so bad by comparison.

As Discovery News’s Jennifer Viegas put it, “One of the most unusual methods of reproduction has just been observed in a flatworm that uses its needle-like penis to stab itself in the head, which leads to egg fertilization.” And to existential horror, she neglects to add.

I’m On My Deathbed So I’m Coming Clean: Here’s The Gruesome Truth About What Happened To My First Wife

Swear to god, this short story in a Cthulian vein almost redeems ThoughtCatalog. Almost. It’s THAT good.

Some people spend their whole lives bored. They might not even know it, but they are. They get up in the morning, go to work, head home, eat dinner, go to bed – this same tired routine playing out endlessly, endlessly, day after day until they find themselves in the ground. Some people will never realize they wasted their life until it’s already over.

Not me. I lived my life to the fullest. I did everything I ever wanted to – ate the finest foods, traveled to exotic lands, slept with beautiful women – because I understood what most people don’t. I knew that everyone is handed this one chance to experience the world as it spins in the darkness of space, but more importantly I knew that you only get so many spins.

I have my first wife to thank for this. It will surprise some…
