Family Guy Funny

Okay, I find Stewie on the show Family Guy repulsive and hilariously funny. If you’re easily offended, don’t watch this…if you aren’t then ENJOY. These two are Stewie learning to love discipline and Stewie kicking the breast milk habit.

A Little Pimpalicious-ness

So, a few of my girls have released recently and I thought I’d take moment to tell you about it. Yes, I’m a bit of a slacker on some of these. You’ll just have to deal with it. ;)

But after a night sharing more than a sleeping bag with Josh, will Tracy admit she’s met her match?

On the surface, Kenny Alton and Shannon Hansen have it all; great looks and great sex. Yet underneath, both want more than they believe the other is willing to give. When Kenny puts a plan in motion, hoping to force a confession from Shannon without revealing his own feelings and risking rejection, the results are explosive. Will the passion ignited prove more than they can handle?

Thursday Thirteen

I’m going to be on vacation for a while…I won’t really be back until after RWA Nationals in Dallas. So that’s July 16th. Never fear, I’ve got some fun posts for you anyway. But, let’s talk about all the spiffy stuff I get do on my vacation.

Thirteen Reasons I Love Vacation

1. See the Mad Madam M. Hey, Article 17.3.7-42 of the Best Friend Code clearly states that the best friend shall always come first in any list that includes her. It’s just how it’s done. Plus, she’s kinda fun so I keep her around.

2. Mad Madam M is taking me to see the new Pirates movie, which we both held off on until now. Damn we’re good. All I have to say is: Johnny! *lights lighter and chases* Take your shirt off! Show us your man-titties!

3. I get to spend the night with Lillian Feisty. And I think you know what I mean here. Her husband’s going to podcast it so R.G. Alexander can feel like she’s in on the action. No child left behind!

4. I get to see the grandparents, brothers, nieces, etc. Family weddings=family reunion. Am I the only one who gets exhausted around family. I mean, I love them…and I kinda want to kill them.

5. I’m spending the night with Eden Bradley. And I think you know what I mean here. We might let her boyfriend watch. Then again, we might tie him up and just tease him.

6. A threesome might ensue with Jax Crane. I had no part in planning this, but Eden did mention on the phone that they’d both be waiting for me when I got there. I think we all know what that means.

7. Eden’s taking me to a sex toy shop. That’s right, a sex toy shop. A big one. Huge. And size does matter in these cases. It just does.

8. I get to have afternoon delights with Karen Erickson. I can hear the bad porn music playing now. “Anybody order a pizza?” *bow chica bow bow*

9. I get to hang with the older brother on my way back up to the family lair of northern Cali. He’ll probably talk me into plotting some of his new fantasy novel with him. Should be fun. It’s weird to write with a guy in your head though. Very weird.

10. Hanging with The Tonyas and the Mad Madam M…and my Hair Goddess will probably bless us with her benevolent goodness. We will, of course, be properly humble. And no one grovels like M. No one. The woman has a gift.

11. I might stalk a hot guy or two with M. She’s bad at stalking, but great at lying to get us out of it when we get caught. Really. We both have spotless criminal records thanks in no small part to her mastermind evil genius in this area.

12. Afternoon delights with Feisty on the way home. Fireworks, explosions, the Earth moved. Oh, yeah. I’ll rock her world.

13. I fly off to Dallas for conference and maybe a nooner with RG. She’s a newbie, so I’ll be gentle. Maybe.

Hump Day Hotties

This week is dedicated to the lovely men that hail from a little island called Britain. Enjoy, ladies and gents (well, there has to be at least one guy that stumbles over here now and again, right?)

Mad Madam M: Not sure why he is still sporting the suit jacket (or why he seems so proud of his boxers), but my thought is he is saving that honor for me cuz I love to unwrap my presents!!!!

Crystal: He’s either feeling really patriotic today or he’s going LOOK AT MY PACKAGE. Look at it, you know you want to!

Mad Madam M: *Pleasantly stuck in a daydream. Please amuse yourself with some witty observation of your own!*

Crystal: He’s staring at me…just at me, I know it. What’s not to like about this pic? Hot guy, pretty eyes, nice suit. Yum.

Mad Madam M: Not sure why he is putting on clothes instead of taking them off, but at least this way I get to take the clothes off myself. More presents for me. YAY!!!

Crystal: Man, he’s hot. I would so hump his leg at a party.

Mad Madam M: And he can act, too!!!

Crystal: Thank you, Jesus.

Mad Madam M: *sings terribly off-key* And I - eee - I - eee - I will always love you!!!

Crystal: The only way this could be better is if we had a pic of him all wet and stuff from Pride and Prejudice.

Mad Madam M: Just think…if he is this hot after stumbling out of bed and enjoying his first cup of coffee, just think how sexy he will be at lunch, dinner, or my favorite…dessert!

Crystal: What are you talking about? He IS dessert.

Mad Madam M: He may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but in my humble opinion…talking can be over-rated!

Crystal: They’re all the same intelligence when you tie them up, gag them, and do pervy things to them. And he is so worth the effort.

Mad Madam M:
Dear Inventor of the Full Length Mirror,
I would just like to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your marvelous contribution to humanity. The mirror is a wondrous object that make it possible to view a nearly naked Jamie Bamber from two different angles at the same time. I’m not sure how you have been overlooked for a Noble Peace Prize, but if you need a petition signed, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Appreciatively Yours,
Mad Madam M

P.S. Do you by chance know how I could get a hold of the inventor of the bath towel? I have a few choice words I would like to share with him!

Crystal: What she said.

Mad Madam M: Now I don’t want to encourage the wearing of tight little swim trunks, but DAMN that boy sure knows how to work ‘em!

Crystal: Look at those pecs. Just look at them. Look again. Go on, look. That’s the definition of “lickable”.

Mad Madam M: Sure, he may be fully clothed and sitting on a bed at the moment, but in my head is wearing that goofy coat from A Knights Tale and nothing else! *grins*

Crystal: Man, he’s cute. Like, really, really cute. I’d use his body for a jungle gym.

Mad Madam M: Although you may ask, I will never reveal how many times I have watched the scene in which Mr. Darcy expresses his love for Lizzy. I don’t care how many times you ask…I have to save what little dignity I have left!

Crystal: I love that scene. That’s the best I love you scene ever. And if any man ever did that to me, I swear I’d marry him. Even if I didn’t love him. Of course, he has to look like that and say it like that, too.

Mad Madam M: Could I please be a fly on this wall? Pretty please!?!? I promise to be a verrrryyyy good girl!!!

Crystal: Honey, give it up. You’re never a very good girl. I’ve known you too long for you to fake it anymore.

Mad Madam M: In case you are wondering, Ewan is just preventing somebody from taking my spot! He can be such a gentleman you know!

Crystal: No, Jude is preventing someone from taking MY spot. get your own bed.

First Review of In Smoke!

I got my first official review of In Smoke today…and it’s good! I got a 5 from Robin at My Book Cravings. I don’t know you, Robin, but I love you. I really do.

Here’s the best part (though the whole review pretty much rocked):

WEREPLANETS: IN SMOKE is the third book in the Wereplanets series by Crystal Jordan. It is a sexy shifter story with a lot of heart. Katryn is a heroine who touched me deeply and I felt her pains, losses and joys intensely. However she proves to have an amazing strength of character allowing her to deal with her problems head-on and forge ahead no matter what obstacle is thrown into her path. Nadir and Tarkesh are wonderfully sexy and their one-on-one scenes are powerfully erotic and very sensual. When Katryn is added to the mix, the heat level climbs to an intense level. This is one very hot, sexy book that should not be missed by any romance fan!

Sunday Funnies

Wow, I scored way better on this quiz than I expected. Which leads me to believe it’s complete and utter hogwash.

So tell me…how perfect is your life? :)


Your Life is 77% Perfect


Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don’t have much to complain about.
Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you’re usually too happy to notice.

Romance Novels and YouTube

Eden Bradley emailed me this funniness this morning. So, it was waiting for me when I got home from grocery shopping–which went longer than I would have liked because I kind of lost my house key. Time to get a new key chain, argh!

Check it out…so funny.

Sold to Samhain!

For those of you who haven’t heard. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! For those of you who have heard, you can congratulate me again. I don’t mind at all. ;)

I sold a pirate time travel to Samhain Publishing this week. My contract in all signed and sent off. I’m shiny and new in my Samhellion-ness. Woot woot. Here’s the basics:

Rebecca Small is obsessed with the past—especially the Golden Age of Piracy. A history graduate student, she gets the unglamorous job of preparing a museum display about one famous pirate who lived during that time, and then disappeared without a trace. When Becca gives into temptation and touches the pirate’s antique sword, she lands on a ship in the middle of a sword fight, saving the sexy captain from being stabbed in the back—literally. Once the smoke clears, the man who claims he’s her husband is more than eager to reward her for her timely assistance.

James Morrow knows very little about the woman he was forced to marry five years ago, but the woman who saved him doesn’t fit the portrait he’s painted of her in his mind. She’s strong, brave, and submits to his every dark desire. She seems the perfect woman for a pirate, but he makes his living among the dishonest and disreputable—trust isn’t a commodity he trades in.

One thing is certain, these two find in each other an adventure to last centuries.

Thursday Thirteen

As a follow up to last week’s foray into what Crystal Needs, someone told me to try other combinations like Crystal Loves, Crystal Hates, Crystal Wants…So, I went with 13 things I hate. We’ll see how close google gets.

Thirteen Things about Crystal hates

1. Crystal hates the light

But I wear sunblock, so it’s okay. When I become a real vampire, then I might have problems, though.

2. Crystal hates me

Yes. Yes, I do. I’m glad you’re finally able to come to terms with that, and find acceptance of your hateability.

3. Crystal hates Bush

This is a political statement that I’m unwilling to admit to in public. I do not recall that incident. I did not sleep with that woman. Oh, wait. That was Clinton. Eh…politicians. Whatcha gonna do?

4. My Chihuahua, Crystal, hates men.

Did they just call me a dog? How rude.

5. Crystal hates Zarla and her family intensely

She probably deserves it.

6. Crystal hates the concept of anything

This is very philosophical. Deep. And true. All concepts make me cranky.

7. Unfortunately, Crystal hates freestyle, and therefore hates most of the youth.

This sounds kinky, so I’ll have to disagree. I like kinky. Just read my books and you’ll see. Kink is fun. But only for youth over 18–consent is mandatory. Sorry!

8. Crystal hates Angelique for many reasons, however, the main reason that Crystal hates her so much is because that Angelique betrayed her.

That bitch!

9. Crystal hates: possessive people

I do. Those needy, greedy obnoxious ass possessive people. Crystal’s need to be free! That might even have been on last week’s list…but I digress.

10. Crystal hates happy people. Crystal will turn on you in an instant.

I don’t hate them, per se. They just get on my last nerve. But that last part is SO true. It’s like a universally known fact.

11. Crystal hates me saying that

Then stop saying it, moron. Duh.

12. Crystal hates monkeys and enjoys clam

What did the monkeys ever do to me? Nothing that I recall. Well, there was that one who flung poo at me in the zoo, but he missed so it’s fine.

13. Crystal hates gym class.

Yes, I do. Exercise is evil. Check the Saturday post for details. Exercise=eeeeevil.
