How to Torture The Write Woman (310 and counting)




 When I started this blog it was to indicate my arduous trek to gaining an education because I was to graduate on my birthday next year. Apparently the gods are having a party and pulled my card for the next dare exclaiming, “Watch what happens when I do this!” They’re having a gay ol’ time because I’m not graduating after all. However, that doesn’t mean I’m stopping my crusade, oh no! I will continue onward and upward until I reach my goal. I may bend, but refuse to break, sort of like a gooey melted piece of taffy.



Speaking of breaking, did you hear the latest breaking news on bees? It’s all the buzz! The bees, as you are aware, have been dropping out of the sky to land on their backs in the middle of sidewalks and dying. I say it’s all the chemicals the farmers are plastering the crops with to kill insects—well, bees are insects, aren’t they? Must be working! But with all of mankind’s fixes, we find inevitably we need to find the remedy for those as well—like a scale that’s never even. According to the news, they’ve found the cure. I wonder what the aftermath of that will have an affect on. What would be truly awesome is if great scientists could discover a potion that makes government officials actually help the people who voted for them—or would that more likely be a miracle?

Studying transmedia is fun, so don’t let anyone tell you differently. I’m still working on my kids’ book, and just about done with the outline. I ordered several books from Amazon, one called Reign Rain (a methodically obsessed girl with an alcoholic father) for Nikki, The Gift (from the Witch and Wizard series by Patterson) for Cameron, and a couple of transmedia books for me, including The Art of Immersion. Unfortunately, despite the prices we pay for delivery, it cannot insure the delivery people can read computer printed addresses. UPS has lost a delivery containing Nikki’s and my books, setting us back a week. Still, if the temporary workers are required to go through a rush training as I am for my position, I have to understand the pressure they are under. There are days where I feel like my head’s going to pop off by the time I reach my car.

Photography should be easy, right? Point the camera and click? But when you get a sick baby and the mother is adamant about having the teething infant’s picture taken, what can you do? Coochie-coochie-coo doesn’t quite cut it. If the baby was strong enough, he’d just assume rip my nose off and teethe on it, killing two birds with one stone. I’ve not seen a devil baby yet, but I’m certain I will before the holidays are over. That’s when they come out of hiding, you know.

The best way to torture someone is to sexually arouse her and leave her to fend for herself. When you get into better shape, apparently the blood flow quickens and floods your entire body. I guess this is why I hated romance so much when I was inactive, and also why older couples are sometimes the walking dead. Cheers to those who stay together their whole lives, and double cheers to those who like it that way. The consensus is if you have a headache, go for a jog, and then jump on the bed. Whatever happens after that, keep it to yourselves.

Speaking of fending for one self, check out this article about my home state. Anyone who believes there’s a dividing line between church and state has never been to the state of Utah on the holidays, Sundays, or in public for that matter. Talk about torture!
