I’ll have more thoughts on this later, but meanwhile…
HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!

8-bit Twin Peaks Intro
I came across this on GeeksAreSexy and, being a Twin Peaks fanatic (did you know I graduated from Snohomish High School, which was used in filming Fire Walk With Me?), not to mention a gamer who lived through the 8-bit era, I thought this video from Filthy Frackers was worth sharing…
Suppose donuts give you magical FBI-powers? I bet the Black Lodge level is a pain in the neck…
Simpsonized Twin Peaks Characters!
Okay, as both a Twin Peaks fan and a Simpsons fan (obligatory “not as good as it used to be, yadda yadda yadda” comment here), this is just pretty freaking cool. As reported by WelcomeToTwinPeaks.com, Belgian illustrator and art director Adrien Noterdaem has “Simpsonized” 15 Twin Peaks characters. Click on Leland Palmer below for all of the images and the full ensemble picture…

Random Zeus Is Dead 2 Quotes
So while I continue chipping away at the sequel to Zeus Is Dead (working title, Zeus Is Undead), I figured it’d be fun to share with you some completely random, out of context dialogue from the rough draft as it currently stands. Why random and out of context? Because it’s more fun that way! (Plus it’s possible that watching the new Twin Peaks is nudging my mind in random, out of context directions…)
Enjoy, and puzzle over what the heck these quotes mean!
“Why ever are you going down to Earth? You’ll have to walk!”
“Their governments are paralyzed by zombie deniers and petty deadlocks.”
“YOU WILL ENJOY THE BARBECUE AS FATHER ZEUS ORDAINS!”
“Melpomene and Thalia. They claim it is a ‘sequel thing.'”
“Do you wish me to smite she who brought the corrupted potato salad?”
“I just adore when death rhymes!”
“The fonts are amazing!”
“What in Medusa’s buttcrack are you?”
“You know how Alecto is. There’s really not much difference except now she smells a little funny.”
“You try being funny after dealing with Nyx!“
“Leavenworth is an Oktoberfest town. We need Oktoberfest dollars. Now, if the people can’t drink here, they’ll be glad to drink at the festivals of Chelan, Hanford, Long Island…”
“Eris was NOT a member of Guns and Roses!”
“Oh, come on! Finish the brains you have!”
“Some mortals have eaten zombie meat.”
“You dare contradict the wisdom of the great Brandt Sledgeman!”
“Do you do things like this because nobody likes you, or does nobody like you because you do things like this?”
“Malevolence would be if that thing started playing disco.”
ANTICIPATED IN EARLY 2018!
Scenes From a Norwescon
It’s been almost a week since I got a Twin Peaks re-watch post up here. They’ll resume shortly. It’s just that since last Thursday I was busy selling books and communing with other geeks at the 40th annual Seattle sci-fi & fantasy con known as Norwescon! I had a great time, sold some books, hung out with fellow authors Tiffany Pitts, Camela Thompson, and Janine Southard, went to a few panels, and almost made it to the final round in a gigantic Cards Against Humanity tournament.
I also took a lot of pictures! While you wait for the next Twin Peaks post, please enjoy a slice of my experience, captured through my less-than-perfect phone camera!

Tiffany Pitts and Camela Thompson after we’d just gotten our Thursday table set up in Writer’s Row
Me on my end of the table. Not visible, my “Porkins wasn’t ‘alright'” t-shirt.
Cosplayers everywhere!
Also everywhere, dogs in carts! (Seriously, I hadn’t realized how many dogs would be there.)
Some were even in costume. It’s R2-D-dog!
Fantastic attention to detail. “How can you have a yellow alert in spacedock?”
Starting on Friday, we were lucky enough to be moved into the Dealer Room, since there was a booth opening and we had three people at our smaller, isolated, un-powered hallway table.
One of the biggest attractions at our table was this little guy that Tiffany brought. He held free Starburst for passersby. Those X-Wings are crayons (also made by Tiffany).
This vendor (Firefox Fashions) was directly across from us. Everything there looked amazing.
Friday I also came as Walter White/Heisenberg. (The milkshake isn’t part of the cosplay. I just wanted a milkshake.)
Steampunk Han & Leia!
Ran into this guy at the Jack-in-the-Box across the street (where I was still dressed as Walter White). Sorry for the blurry pic.
Lana from Archer
King Triton and Ursula from The Little Mermaid. These two had a different costume for each day.
Poor Daleks. Can’t go upstairs to the Evergreen Rooms. (Note the “peacebonding” on the red one.)
Day 3 (Saturday): Dressed in my Imperial Naval Officer cosplay. Much more comfortable boots this time.
He’d apparently had a late night of bad decisions.
Fairy godmothers, with coffee. So many people wanted a picture of these three that they didn’t know where to look.
Still more great attention to detail.
He checked out. Not a ghost. (Damn, I look tired, huh? All that extroversion is exhausting!)
An excellent Klingon.
Dude! You need to put a leash on that thing!
Pyramid Head!
She accidentally bumped into someone a few moments later. Not great visibility in that thing, but it looked great!
Zeus Is Dead did amazing sales. People kept telling me the title and the cover pulled them in. (That’s a chocolate Serenity in front there. Also made by Tiffany, we were giving them away with a book purchase.)
I had a great time, but after 4 straight days of stepping out of my comfort zone and interacting with so many people, I came home Sunday evening and pretty much collapsed! 😀
Note that I’ve still got a few paperback copies of Zeus Is Dead and The New Aeneid Cycle. Want to buy an autographed copy? Let me know via the contact page!
Bad Sci-Fi Theater: Judge Dredd (1995)
HE AM THE LAW!!!
It’s about time for another Bad Sci-Fi Theater post! This time around, I put up the choice of movies for a vote on Twitter, and low and behold they declared that I must watch the first Judge Dredd movie from 1995. This tour de force of entertainment features Sylvester Stallone and that thespian of thespians who brought us not only Deuce Bigalo: Male Gigolo, but ALSO its sequel: Rob Schneider! (Okay, so I admit I laughed at the “Makin’ Copies” sketches on SNL back in the day, but I really can’t stand the guy. So thanks, Twitter. I owe ya one. 😉
So hey, here we go! [Read more…]
Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian – Ch 14
Alternate chapter title: “Unexpected Bacon”
More answers, more troubles, and a gigantic flying sow I didn’t even know existed. Curious? Then it’s time for the fourteenth installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian…
Pigs Fly
So Percy gets a triple-vision this time as he goes to rest, but before I get there, I’d like to give Thalia a kudo or three for giving some sound, needed counsel to Percy at the start of the chapter: Don’t let what Prometheus said lead Percy to being soft on Luke. Despite his situation, Luke is responsible for the bad choices he’s made. After the last chapter’s parley set a bit uncertainty in both Percy and the reader (or at least, this reader), Thalia helps him to get grounded and refocused. [Read more…]
