Late and Later

December 12, 2016 By C. Lee McKenzie

I’m late this morning with my Monday post for a couple of reasons. One, I stayed up last night to watch a cult movie that was filmed in Santa Cruz, my neighborhood. The Lost Boys was a 1987 vampire tale with Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest. I know the trailer looks grim, but this is one vampire movie you’ll laugh through. Hoaky and fun. 


The second reason I’m late is about a little accident. It seems I’ve done in my right shoulder and to some extent my right hand and those five digits attached. I can only use that whole apparatus for a few hours before I have to stop, ice it, and down some pain killers. Long story. But I’m now in physical therapy and hoping for a quick recovery.  I’ll be putting a lot of things on hold for a while, so I’m putting up the “Gone Fishing” sign until after Christmas.



The Princess of Las Pulgas is on sale for .99 for Christmas. Here’s the coupon if you’d like to download it or share the sale. AU57U

 

I will post on Dec. 21 for the DECEMBER WEP, and I will try to get around to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and any other holiday you decorate for and celebrate-just a little slower than usual.



Quote of the Week: (tangential to my post!) “Men and women are like right and left hands: it doesn’t make sense not to use both.” Jeannette Rankin, America’s first congresswoman

How About Movie Tonight? Post Christmas and Happy 2015!

December 29, 2014 By C. Lee McKenzie

How about a movie tonight? 
Popcorn? 
Yes?

So here’s one that caught my attention, thanks to Lauren of Shooting Star Magazine. 

It’s a modern take on Teens (right up my alley), and I loved the TRAILER. The cast has some new faces, but some actors that I know and enjoy watching. 

Here’s the lineup:  Britt Robertson, Christian Slater, Justin Long, Martin Sheen, Robert Patrick, Max Carver. The director is Allison Burnett.

Sexually frank, often heartbreaking, and bursting with devilish humor, ASK ME ANYTHING is a contemporary tale of identity, voyeurism, and deception.

Find their FACEBOOK page and give them a like. 

And it’s a topic that’s so important to explore. Do you post your intimate experiences online? I don’t. And I don’t connect with my family there either. Oh, they’re on all social media, but I’d rather keep them separate from what I do as a writer. I’m out here to connect with writers and readers I wouldn’t have the pleasure of knowing otherwise. I’m here to show you my work, share what I know, learn from you and enjoy some fun together. 


What’s your take on sharing personal information online?

After Christmas should be a time to kick back, loosen your belt and sigh with satisfaction-maybe see a movie. So that’s exactly what I’m doing. . .just as soon as I de-decorate the house, organize the guest list for New Year’s Eve,  finish the blog posts I’ve promised for January and apologized to the friends and relatives I didn’t get those notes to in time for the 25th! 
How are you doing out there this post Christmas day? Ready for 2015? Of course you are. See you next year.
