Turtlely Into You

Just Playing Around.

Magical Microphones, Creepy Winks and Sexist Horror Films

Imagine this.
You're watching anything from your favorite movie or TV show to something that's sucks so terribly bad you can't tear your eyes away. Something tragic happens and someone (who always seems to be taller) comforts the grieving party.
That tall, sympathetic person pulls that mostly liklely crying individual, who is almost always female inot his/her arms, wrinkles his/her brow appropriately and looks upward.
What I'm wondering is... What the heck is this person looking at? Floating pies? Invading aliens? Or does the microphone held by the boom operator have some magical power that mesmerizes all who look at it?
And what bothers me the most is the amount of time he/she spends looking into what the audience is to assume is an ordinary ceiling or the same blue sky we all see.
Can I blame this all on bad acting? Or am I the one who subconsciously picks shows that specifically features bad actors and scripts?
Either way this got me thinking about little quirks I've noticed in the programs I watch.
Like the wink with an open mouth and unnecessary shoulder movements. But to be fair, my wink is on the creepy, hide your children side. Somehow I scrunch up half my face and hardly ever manage to close just one eye.
Then there is the soooo fake falls over conveniently placed rock, perfectly straight rugs and the twisting of ankles while something or someone  scary is chasing the screaming, pleading intenteded victim whose makeup remains flawless despite the tears and snot. Again, why are these people mostly female? Might I say sexism?
And don't get me started on bad killing scenes, unconvincing fights and decidedly unfunny jokes and corny lines.
Maybe I'm overthinking this but my only explanation is that I'm an over thinker. Go figure, huh?
After this rant, I'll probably go watch a cheap looking movie on Syfy.
So this post was basically a waste of time because I will continue to watch those same crappy movies and shows with the same crappy acting.
*sigh*

Musings of a Sleep Deprived Author # 71: The Delete Button

I am the harshest critic I will ever have.
It's difficult to press the delete button of such a hard won chapter but it needs to be done.

Good Music

Listening to the Illusion of Progress by Staind.
Aaron Lewis has the voice of an angel. Cliche but true.

Writer's Plight, a Flying Cat and Funny Depression.

So....
I'm just sitting here staring at my computer monitor and the blinking curser is mocking me.
I went to sleep at two last night, then tossed and turned for almost two hours. Therefore total sleep received; it feels like none. Not one twink.
My brain feels like it's stuffed with cotton and while I'm ready and willing to get this novel done, my leading lady and self-important demonic villain have found a cozy place in my brain and are still asleep. And you know the bad part, they'll probably keep me up tonight too and ensure another sleepless night. Ah... the joys of being an author.

So since I can't write at this moment, I've decided to waste valuable time surfing the internet.
So here's a list of stuff I found.
- A disturbing but cute footless flying cat.

- A pic of Miley Cyrus's new hair cut and people disliking it, which leaves me to wonder why they cared so much.
- This cute skirt from Yesstyle.com. Love, Love, Love it!

-Video on "proper texting etiquette". Just found Swoozie and he's a riot.
- My version of paradise
- JustWink.com
- Adventures In Depression that made me feel pretty damn good about my life.
- A Website every woman needs to visit. It will make your day, I promise.

Maybe I need Bigger Boobs

If I had an M&M every time I heard that, I'd need to be towed around like a beached whale.
Coming from a "big breasted" girl, the grass isn't greener on the other side. It just causes back problems, boob sweat, a place to  and much hated comments like "Oh my god, are those real?"

If you're not convinced, check out Busty Girl Comics . An example of their work is below.

If you're still not convinced, don't say I did not warn you after those implants

Good Music

It's minutes to twelve at night. My fingers are tapping at the keyboard and I'm listening to Too Close by Chester See.
He really does have a unique voice that sends chills down my spine every time.
