what a week!

Wow. It’s been quite a week.

The bride and boy are ill. In the bad way.
Security Edition cards were linked on an extremely popular blog called Daring Fireball.
Lawrence O’Donnell had Penn and the hero, John Tyner, on his show and they talked A LOT about the Security Edition cards.
Penn went on the Wolf Blitzer show and basically did a commercial for the Bill of Rights – Security Edition cards.

Nuttiness. In the good way. Except for the bride and boy being sick. That is no damned good. I think we’ll just end up going to Marie Callendars for bird slaughter day. I’m taking the lad by the grandparents.

In other news, I did an interview with a very nice young person at the Horror Hound convention. He put it up here:

There’s good stuff about the convention and, most importantly: ME!

cough.

Happy turkey slaughtering. I, along with most everyone else who has a non-retail job, have the next four days off and that is good schtuffs.

Horror Hound Convention – Nov. 12 – 14

“I’ll never do one of those autograph show things…”

Never say never.

Next weekend, I’ll be in the other Sin City: SinSinnati, Ohio at HorrorHound Weekend. Signing autographs and saying…

“I don’t know where Gary Riley is… I read he died in a car accident, but received email a few months ago from someone claiming to be him and that person, at least, seemed extremely alive.”
I’m not sure Ski School II made enough money to warrant a Ski School III
I think Rockula is underrated, as well.
That’ll be 10 bucks, please.

Glib, unnecessary pessimism aside, I’m actually looking forward to it. “Esquela de Sommero”** turned me into a full-on horror fan and there are going to be some people there that I’m looking forward to seeing, if not meeting. Horror fans are the best kind of people because they are passionate and do-not-give-a-fuck. There is also going to be someone there who an old girlfriend cheated on me with years and years ago when I cared about those things, so that should be nifty.

I will be away from the bride and child for longer than I like (at least that’s what I’m saying in public) and that will be a huge drag. I don’t envy the bride having to deal with an infant who has decided that waking up at night every 3-4 hours and screaming is the way to go about things.

**that’s Summer School in the language I made up

Ralphs War

Ralphs grocery store in Los Angeles, does not have an apostrophe. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

I got a new Ralphs Cult Member card today because I realized that my millions of points are going to an old phone number that the card is linked to and I have no way of… who cares? I got a new card.

So, in honor of using a sharpie to make things interesting, I did this:
