Confessions of a One-Track Mind

The C's live on a canal, and there are ducks living in their backyard. (There's a bin of cracked corn out in the garage. These are well-fed, happy ducks.) There are a family of IDK ducks---the adults are irridescent black with white and have red faces, and at the moment, they have four (that I've counted) fluffy little yellow and black ducklins---so cute! There's also what AI refers to as "the glee club", a flock of 20 or so basic brown mallards who drop in to cadge corn. At least, she says they're mallards.

It rained like hell early this afternoon, and made the bucks quite frisky. For a little while, a pair of little tan morming doves was splashing about in the ducks' water font. Quite a little wildlife sanctuary they've got going here. According to AI, there's also a manatee living in the canal by their dock, but I've not seen it.

I had hot dogs for lunch and watched "My Bloody Valentine 3D", although *not* in 3D. Lately, I've been entertaining thoughts of a crossover I started a million years ago between MBV3D and "DeVour". Jake Gray has been released from prison after serving 10 years for the murder of his girlfriend They couldn't pin his parents' deaths on him, but there's still hard feelings in town, so he's out at his uncle's cabin, which he inherited. He's surviving off the land, and keeping to himself, when a visitor arrives.

Harry Warden has been drifting around the country, dominating Tom Hanniger's consciousness at his own whims. He ran across a true crime book about the Jake Gray case, and was delighted at the potential mayhem inherent in someone who looks like himself/Tom. What he *doesn't* know is Tom's psychic abilities, which have sharpened in prison out of self-defense. Jake always knows who's who, and he forges a relationship with both Tom and Harry, hoping to find a way to free Tom once and for all.

The working title is "Identity Crisis", although "Tom, Jake and Harry" is a possible. Oh, and did I mention it's slash? Because Jensen Ackles times THREE is as hot as it gets. Some of it is fairly evil, since Harry is NOT a nice guy.

Wicked heartburn from the 'dogs. I may have a root beer float to calm my stomach....

It occurs to me that I never did post this here....

Missybrat, this one's for you! kukkurkurat sent me the link, mostly to show me these bears, The Toxic Teddies. What a shame they don't have one with a pick-axe. Damn it, do I have to do everything? I *must* have a Harry Warden bear for Valentine's Day. *evil grin*

OMG, New Year's Eve! I can't think of the last time I've been so eager to ring down the curtain on a particular year. ( To put it mildly, )

But not to sound like too much of a negative Nancy, I've been having tons of fun playing with this little game that karaokegal alerted me to:

Think of a famous person, then answer 20 questions and see if the genie can deduce your person. It's surprisingly good at it! (And yes, it *did* eventually get JDM.)

Had a final spasm of creative energy last night and coughed up a 500 word coda to My Bloody Valentine. That gives me a total of 19 stories posted at the Pit of Voles this year (not including last year's Yuletide, or this one). Maybe I can come up with one more just to get it up to a nice, round number....

I'm disappointed to hear that Tavern on the Green is closing. Add that to the list of NY landmarks I've missed out on: CBGBs, Studio 54---oh well, I probably couldn't afford a sandwich there, let alone dinner.

Speaking of which, I've got some pork chops, sauerkraut and some black-eyed peas for dinner tomorrow. Luck, damn it!

Have a great 2010, y'all!
