Blood and Nails

This entry was originally published at Darkest Before Dawn

The problem that I had with my bleeding toe came back a couple of weeks ago and in the last few days a lump grew around the wound. I am just back from Accident and Emergency at my local hospital where the Doctor numbed the toe and removed the lump and a large part of the toenail.

I have a load of antibiotics to take and some pain killers, it is still bleeding through the dressing at the moment given the blood on my sock and I am feeling a bit queazy so I am heading to lie down for a bit.

Slasher Horror Quiz

This entry was originally published at Darkest Before Dawn

In the last few years I have gone to see a few films in the Slasher Horror genre and I must admit that I am not exactly a fan I honestly prefer a good comedy to seeing someone’s kneecaps fly across the room. However I have noticed a few things that may be useful as a diagnostic aid to tell if a town has Slasher Horror potential.

So here is the Darkest Before Dawn Slasher Horror Quiz

1. Economy




• Was a Highway constructed 10 or more years ago that killed the passing/tourist trade?


• Has the only factory, usually a meat packing plant, closed down?




2. Law & Order




• Is the local Sheriff married to his cousin or sister or both?


• Is the Sheriff pissed off about what happened to him in Korea or Nam? Even if he didn’t actually fight in the wars, remember the later episodes of M.A.S.H. caused a lot of trauma!


• Does the Sheriff rant about Bikers and Long Haired Hippies even though no one has seen such a person in 20 years?




3. Cars




• Do any of the local families have dozens of cars laying around their property just rusting? Some of these cars may date back to the 1940’s


• Does the family have a tow truck but not run a car repair/rescue/scrapping business?




4. Gas Station




• Do the gas pumps belong to a company that ceased to exist in the 1920’s?


• Does the garage attendant sit out front and when asked a question only answer ‘Yep’ or ‘in back’




5. Pickling Jars




• Is there someone in town who constantly buys pickling jars even though there is no fruit or vegetables in season?




6. Shopping




• Is the only open shop also in the Gas Station?


• Does it have very few useful items like food but lots of pickling jars for sale?




7. Fashion




• Do all the women of the town wear clothes that were only in fashion for five minutes in 1953?


• Do all the men wear dungarees, with the exception of the Sheriff?




8. Children




• In the past was a group of children responsible for the death of a caretaker or child who was a bit different?




9. Outsiders




• Unlike the townsfolk do people passing through look like the come straight from the pages of Vogue?




10. Clowns




• Is there someone in town who dresses as a clown even through there is no circus or fair on and they are not a children’s entertainer?

Score one point for each question answered Yes

1 to 5 : The chances are you will be safe but stick to the soulless highway just in case.

6 to 10 : Expect to loose 75% of your travelling companions and remember the cute lovey dovey couple making plans for the future bite the big one first.

10 to 17 : Ain’t no one getting out of this one alive, you may think you are but the Sheriff will have a road block just out of town and you will think he is there to help you. The last words you will hear are “Squeal piggy squeal!”

I have at last got around to typing up Chapter 5 of my online novel, it has been a while since the last chapter was published but I am already typing up Chapter 6 and it is a lot longer than the previous ones.

If you haven’t read any of it and want to start here is Chapter 1

There is no C!

This entry was originally published at Darkest Before Dawn

It has been a while but hey I’ve been busy, lazy, tired, emo and most of all I have had very little worth saying.

I am still working on my “top secret” project but thing hopefully will start to progress next month and I will no doubt be posting here about my struggle to get Joomla to work the way I want In the last couple of day I have also been doing some work with Zen Cart again and I hope that the shop that I am helping to build will be online soon.

A few of my friends are going through rough times at the moment, you know who you all are my thoughts are with you and you know how to contact me if you need a chat. ::huggs:: to you all.

Okay a quick little rant. Once before I had a rant about the British media obsession with Pete Doherty and I fully realise the irony of posting about him again, however I’m gonna do it.

My rant is not about him but about people calling him Pete Docherty. It is mainly on the radio, so I think BBC Radio Scotland are the main culprits as I mainly listen to it going to and from work.

The two names may have the same genealogical roots, Doherty being the Irish version and Docherty being the Scottish version, but if you are going to bore me with the antics of a self-destructing coke-head then please at least show some standard of journalism and get his name right.

Corners

From her corner she looks,

but does not see him.

From his corner he sees,

but does not speak.

From the fear of rejection,

only loneliness wins.
