Hi there my Imaginarians! I have missed you all so very much, you don't even know. I have been stuck in No-Man's Land for what seems like forever. I am still there, in the midst of a huge grind, but for the time being I am posting again and will be trying to get around to visit all of you. I've been hard at work on a steampunk tale that's due December 1 as well as several other writing pieces all while trying to find a full time job and keep ahead of my bills. At last have my head a bit above this drowning tide. Yay!!
It hasn't been all bad. I found out that my wonderful friend Dez over at
The Hollywood Spy has given me his Heart Award. He is celebrating 2 million visitors!! How awesome and incredible is that? Read this amazing post
here. Thank you so much, my dear. It made my month. Check out this beautiful award...
My oldest nephew treated his aunt to
Resident Evil: Retribution and I took him to dinner. We had a blast. We also went shopping for Halloween costumes. He's going to be a zombie and I am putting together a Rocky Horror Magenta outfit. I think I could rock that wild hair. I've also been doing my touchdown dance quite frequently thanks to my Bears and my fave college team, Notre Dame. And can I say that for once, my Fantasy Football team, the Army of Darkness, has been killing it, too. Usually I am sucking at this point in the season. Whoo Hoo!
So what have you all been up to? Tell me, tell me!! I'm dying to hear all of your news. I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!
A Magenta outfit sounds like an awesome costume! Make sure you show us what it's like :) I'm in two minds about the Resi movies; I've not seen any of them fully, but what I've seen hints that I won't like it.

If I do go Magenta, I will most definitely post a pic or two. :) Res Evil is definitely not for everyone. I know horror and fantasy fans who don't really like them. I love them because I love the fact that they star a kick butt heroine and they are so much fun to watch.
DeleteMelissa, we insist on pictures of that costume!!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you in the blogging world. Been keeping up in emails with you, but it just feels like someone is missing online...
Pics will be available my captain. :) I cannot tell you what your emails meant and I am so happy to be back among the blogging for now.
DeleteHey welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI've had to put an end to touchdown dances at my house (although my beloved Pats seem to have maybe gotten their act together on that (knock on wood)) because it gets my dog way too wound up. But I'm dancing on the inside.
Thanks, M.J.! Dancing on the inside is awesome, too. As long as we can celebrate TD's from our guys, it's all good. :)
DeleteSo glad to see you! Not a whole lot going on - happy to hear the writing has gone well and that your teams are winning. Come by when you can - the joint is too quiet without you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend! I have missed LGOOH a lot. You know this is my fave time of year and what would Shocktober be without some monster and horror from one of the best pop culture guys?
Deletea steampunk piece? I'm intrigued, sister Melsy, how come we haven't heard about it before? :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the award, you know you always have a place in Dezzy's heart :)
Will you be watching WALKING DEAD with the nephew?
Yes indeed a steampunk piece, my friend. A gay steampunk piece at that. I think you will enjoy it very much. I haven't talked about it much because I was in the planning stages.
DeleteI loved the award and am so honored to be a recipient. Congrats on two million visitors, that is absolutely wonderful!
Congratulations on your award. The Hollywood Spy runs a solid website with up-to-date tidbits on the glamorous. Plus I really like the pictures of the men that he posts. I have to say, I don't know if I've read any steampunk. I should change that.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree with you on the male pics there...Wow! Steampunk is a very cool genre I started reading a lot in about year or so ago. I think you'd enjoy it.
DeleteArmy of Darkness - I like the name.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Bruce Campbell is definitely one of my fave actors. I think he'd like the name. Plus it looks so cool on the league site. ;)
DeleteCongrats on your award! Nice to see that you are doing well and keeping busy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Siv! Busy has become my middle name of late LOL. I'm so glad to be back, though.
DeleteCongrats on the reward! I have missed you~ Miss Magenta! I looove that color~ YOU will so rock it~ OOOH, I wanna hear more about the steampunk book, story?! Drop us a few hints...pretty please! I'll dye the sugar Magenta, lol
ReplyDeleteHappy you are back among the blogging ;D
Aww... Thank you, Ella! Magenta sugar would be very cool. At first I wasn't sure about Magenta, but I'm really liking this idea more and more. I'm so happy to be back, I'm dancing LOL
Delete"Igor, she's alive!!"
ReplyDeleteGreat to finally have you back. Hope you're doing well. Nice to read that you are writing again, though I'd prefer a Maxie sequel :-)
Nothing new here. Same old Harry watching countless movies, writing countless reviews :)
LOL I love that! Maxie is on my list for writing projects. I've sketched out her plot and hope to get going again soon.
DeleteI love all your movies reviews. We are in sync about 90 percent of the time. :)
Glad you're back, Melissa. Missed you! I wish all things to go your way and soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! And that wish means the world after all the stuff that has been going on. :)
DeleteI have no clue what happened to my comment /I'm sure I left one/, but it seems it got lost somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm INCREDIBLY glad to see you back online, Mel. You know how much I love you, and I missed you like crazy during your long absence from the blogosphere.Congrats on the award. Nobody deserves it more than you do.
Glad you enjoyed the latest RE movie. I thought it was so-so, but yeah...fun time to waste a couple of hours.
Looking forward to your next post!
No worries, sweetie. Some times things fall into the great Cyber Black Hole.
DeleteThank you so so much! I'm so happy to be back, too. I missed you very much and all your awesome reviews. Not to mention our lively discussions on your blog. :)
My next post is more horror film survival rules so I think you'll like it.
Yay, you are back, and you sound busy and happy! Can't wait for the pic of you in your costume.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kathy M.
Huge hugs, Kathy! Thank you so much for the support while I was gone. And I will most definitely have pics of me rocking the wig and maid outfit.
DeleteNo-man's land is a vast place. I'm glad you didn't get lost! It all sounds very productive for you though!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine 2 million visitors. O.o
It was a vast and dangerous place LOL. I had a lot to do, still do, but I'm back and I could not be happier. :)
DeleteYou're a busy bee and a go-getter. No need to apologize. Such traits are both rare and virtuous :)
ReplyDeleteSteampunk novel, huh? That sounds mighty intriguing. Do indulge my curiosities as the release date approaches!
And I'm sorry I've been uncharacteristically absent from your wonderful blog. I, too, have been burdened rather substantially by the trials of work and daily life. Glad to see you're still cheerfully delighting the masses with your imaginative shine :)
Hey Matt! Awesome to see you here. No matter how long your absence, the welcome mat is always out for you. I can't wait to start talking film with you again. I have sorely missed our talks.
DeleteMy steampunk tale is really a novella, but I will let you know more about it as soon as I can.It's my first time writing in the genre. Pushing my boundaries. :)
