Hounding After Hours

<wanders back into bar carrying enormous multi-barreled water cannon in one hand and a beer in the other, points cannon at Dolores>

Revenge is a dish best served cold...well, lukewarm anyways.

<hoses Dolores down with water from the Bent Nail's horse trough, cycles next barrel up>

Hold on. I need a refill on my beer.

<nods to Soapie and Boston>

*sigh*

Well, puppy is giving me the "I'm not having maximum fun" cries.



*towels off and heads out*

Anybody seen Haggis around lately? I'm tryin' t' win a free beer.

He was here earlier, Greg.

I think he was frightened off by the talk of dyeing him.

Got 'im. He's prob'ly still toweling off down in the Bent Nail right now.

I'm a gonna' go hide now, 'cept he did ask for it again after the first time. 'Course, some would say I didn't have t' shoot him twice...

<heads down to basement locking doors, activating alarms, setting booby traps, etc., along the way>

Interesting question from the YA forum--I figure this lot might be better equipped to answer it, since it looks like the respondees so far haven't read the book: Why isn't Let The Right One In considered YA?

I missed all the water fun.

I haven't seen it, yet, either. But even if I had, I don't think I'd know why, mostly because YA seems awfully accepting of most things now days, more so than I would have ever thought. From cursing to killing, from what I understand.

Isn't that a vampire movie? I suppose there's a lot of blood involved and maybe some ripping out of throats. Unless I'm thinking about the wrong movie.

Now, that's the ticket. It's hot here.

*looks for power soaker*

If I followed the hose, will it lead me to a fireman?

If you're lucky. Hm... might be a better idea to start something on fire if its a fireman your after...

Two vampire movies, actually - one is a somber, intelligent slow-burning thriller/horror hybrid with excellent performances from the entire cast, and some of the moodiest camerawork outside of a Fincher film, the other... Well, it is a typical US remake. Blegh.

I wouldn't advise either being shown to children, so the thought that the books could (in any way, shape or form) be considered YA is insane. I haven't read the book yet, but people have suggested that it is darker than the original adaptation...

*looks around*

I think bos already left...

and bones and water slides don't ignite very easily.

An American remake you say? I watched a foreign film with sub-titles, can't remember what country, but I think it might have been it. From what I hear about the movie it sounded an awfully lot like it. I liked that one.

Hi folks!

Another day is done and I'm back home in the nice, quiet privacy of my basement apartment.

Apparently, today was the day my company reached out to those with extra chromosomes and invited them to call me.

Best convo:

Me: This package will save you $375 a year, ma'am.

Her: Oh, I can't afford that.

Me: I'm sorry, did you just say you can't afford to lower your bill?

Her: Yeah, that's too much.

Me: I think we have a bad connection. You just said that you can't afford to save money. Right?

Her: Yeah, I just can't do that right now.

True story.

This is me before the "incident" I can't talk about.

I would never underestimate Greg's determination and devotion to his beer.

Under any circumstances.

Ah! Wise you are...

Beer has been very, very good to me.

Do you ever hold up a bottle of beer and ask it, "why are you so good to me?"

Once, I think. Maybe...

Usually I just cry in mine. Adds a little saltiness to it (I've actually seen people pour salt in their beer).

Beer and olives is a good combo. Beer and extra sharp cheddar, too.

Beer is icky.


I'm pretty damn tipsy right now thanks to daquris and a pina colada. Pretty sure I'm gonna sleep soon. Nigh guys.

nigh Abby.

I had the weekend off, I should've gotten drunk. Instead I just sketched and worked on my WIP. Man, do I know how to have a good time! :/ No wonder I don't have any dates. *sigh*

I love drunk chicks!

Abby, would you like to see my new litter of puppies?

oh geez. Maybe you could check out his puppies while you two are in your dungeon (the bad one not the fun one)

I'm told salt helps keep the head on a beer. I wouldn't know because I tend to drink mine kinda fast.

Cheddar cheese is good with just about anything.

For you, Greg.

Good evening, hounds!
