Okay, this was just too funny. I had to post about it. There’s a Halloween version of Hangman with creepy words you’re guessing at.
And the skeleton getting hung? He mocks you with relentless sarcasm. It’s so worth loosing just to see the bugger hang.
Check it out! And warning: this thing a is a totally time suck. Procrastinators of the world, rejoice!
Here’s a hodge podge of extras who didn’t make it into other weeks. But they’re pretty enough to make the grade. So here are some random acts of kindness from us to you.
Mad Madam M: Alan Tudyk seems to follow me about cinematically (is that even a word)…and I kind of like it. 28 Days. A Knight’s Tale. Ice Age. Dodgeball. 3:10 to Yuma. Oh and how could I forget the show that finally allowed Crys understand the pain & heartbreak of loving a character on a Joss Whedon show.
Crystal: He was my FAVORITE Firefly character. I’ll never forgive Joss for killing him. NEVER. *sob*
Mad Madam M: Eyeliner…apparently Johnny Depp isn’t the only one that can make it look sexy.
Crystal: *rendered speechless* But here’s Seth Green having fun with eyeliner, too.
Mad Madam M: *eyes covered* I’m not allowed to look. Crys claimed him 4 years ago!
Crystal: I did. He’s mine. Ain’t he pretty? *sigh*
Mad Madam M: Bamber is back, people! Behold the English hotness!
Crystal: Yay! *leads parade*
Mad Madam M: You want classy sexy? Here is a prime example!
Crystal: he is working that tux like the rent is due TODAY.
Mad Madam M: Sheriff Lamb and Logan together building houses. I see an awesome spin-off!!!!
Crystal: Oh, look. Pretty AND humanitarian. *licks screen*
Mad Madam M: Ah Christian Bale…pretension only makes you look hotter. (Although I could go without seeing your shirt tag.)
Crystal: I could go without seeing his shirt at all.
Mad Madam M: Little hint: Avoid looking directly at the bad mustache. Actually just concentrate all staring efforts below the neck and all should go well!
Crystal: Man, you made me look! That is a BAD mustache. The rest is eggsellent though.
Mad Madam M: Less layers, Jaime. I’m telling you…LESS LAYERS!
Crystal: What are you talking about? NO layers.
Mad Madam M: While I can’t always explain my love of certain films, George of the Jungle has a very simple explanation.
Crystal: That’s what I’m talking about. NO layers.
Mad Madam M:
Dear Mr. Marsden,
I quite like you as a secondary character, but it is time for you to move up the ranks into leading man status. I mean you have the looks and the talent. It wasn’t your fault you got such a retarded part in the X-Men flicks - Cyclops is normally a cooler character - or the world’s lamest death scene. You can do so much better!!
Waiting Expectantly for Better Roles,
Mad Madam M
P.S. I loved you in Hairspray and I can’t wait to see Enchanted, even if it is Disney. So, perhaps your day is coming!!!
Crystal: I did like him in X-Men. I didn’t see the last one, which means I missed any bad death scenes.
Mad Madam M: Never watched any of his shows religiously. However, I have watched him for years!
Crystal: I made it through the first season of Lost just because of him. Soooo pretty.
Mad Madam M: FemeNazi, this one’s for you!
Crystal: I’ll assume that’s one of your other friends, because it ain’t me. And I loved him in West Wing. It just wasn’t the same show without him.
So, I was doing the Sci-Fi/ Futuristic Workshop last weekend. (Totally awesome, by the way. Those ladies were amazing!) While that’s going on, I’m trying to finish up proposals for a couple of ideas I have for that second book Kensington bought from me. I sent in a contemporary shape-shifter on Saturday. But, Sunday…Sunday, Susan Grant *I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy* mentions a blue skinned guy from an Anne McCaffrey novel and BAM! ideas strike. A juggernaut of old ideas plus new ideas plus random stuff I’d been looking at made a who new futuristic idea for me.
The blue skin reminds me of this pre-made cover Sable Grey did for Cobblestone Press. All rights belong to Sable Grey and Cobblestone Press, of course, but I wanted to demonstrate where the inspiration came from. She’s so cool, right?
Then, I was checking my MySpace page and someone sent me this as a comment from a site called Photocasket (again, all rights are theirs, not mine). And she smushed together with this old sci-fi idea I had jotted down a few paragraphs on over a year ago…whoosh another proposal came flying out and sent off to Agent Extraordinaire. I wonder which one she’ll like best? The shifter or the sci-fi? Should be fun!
I’m over at The Novelty Girls today talking about evil people dressing their animals up in costumes for Halloween. Poor pets! :( Funny pictures, though. ;)
I’ve been watching the Bionic Woman on television, so when I found a cyborg name generator on Linnea Sinclair’s site, I knew I had to share.
Also, today is the last day of the FREE Sci-Fi Futuristic Workshop over at the Romance Divas forum. Come check it out!
My new book, Open Season, is out and ready for you to fondle with your hot little hands.
Leigh Granger is on the run from her violent past when she takes a job at Still Waters resort. She spends an evening toasting her escape and ends up having a one night stand. The catch? Her one night lover is Aidan Lassiter, her new boss…and they accidentally marked each other as mates. Just when things couldn’t get any worse, her ex-fiance tracks her down, bent on bringing her back under his control. Terrified, she bolts, leaving behind the safety of Still Waters…and the protection of her new mate.
The one thing she can’t risk is Aidan’s life.

Aka She tagged me.
This is out it works:
Players offer eight random habits/facts about themselves. If you’re tagged, you need to write your own blog about your eight things and post the rules. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to tag–and list their names. If you participate, don’t forget to leave your people a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Here we go…8 things about moi:
1. I tell jokes only I think are funny.
2. I write naughty books and love every minute of it.
3. My dad always says I write soft-core porn. I reply that I write hard-core romance. He laughs.
4. I have a Master’s Degree in Library Science.
5. The first romance novel I ever read was The Gamble by LaVyrle Spencer.
6. I love getting emails from readers. (Pssst: this means YOU)
7. Mad Madam M and I have been friends for almost ten years and thinking about that makes me feel old.
8. I have two nieces, a nephew, and another on the way. :)
I’m not sure I can find eight people to tag that haven’t already been tagged. So, I’m tagging anyone who’s reading this that hasn’t done it yet. Ha!
Mad Madam M: “The tellie season has begun…let us all dance like wanton children!”
Crystal: I find myself agreeing with the look on Jensen’s face over the shenanigans in the background.
Mad Madam M: I think I am sensing a trend about the familial make-up of my favorite television shows. Supernatural. Prison Break. Numb3rs.
Crystal: All your shows have pretty brothers. Nothing wrong with keepin’ it in the family, I say. Hey, I lived in the south for a while. I learned a thing or two ;)
Mad Madam M: Captain Awesome indeed!
Crystal: No, no. Don’t hold it up, take it off! Awesome!
Mad Madam M: While I appreciate the effort to wear tight t-shirts…why couldn’t they have just skipped the shirts altogether?!?!?
Crystal: Less is more, I think.
Mad Madam M:YAY!!!! My tellie boyfriend is BACK!!!! *performs the Dance of Joy*
Crystal: Yes, when I get rich and famous, I promise he will be your pool boy. (Pool accessory not included)
Mad Madam M: And did I mention he has an Aussie accent?
Crystal: Accents are so hot. And hot mean with accents are *yum*
Mad Madam M: Damn you, Logan. Why did you have to get your cute ass on such a dismal show?!?! Of course I will watch, but I want you to know that I’m not enjoying it. Well…not too much that is!
Crystal: Word.
Mad Madam M: Some crushes get better with age!
Crystal: It’s true. I’ve loved him since he was on Early Edition.
Mad Madam M: He may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but he is pretty…oh so pretty. And did I mention he can speak sexy Spanish?!?!
Crystal: I repeat, accents are sexy.
Mad Madam M: I have to find this beach!
Crystal: It’s a magical place. Disney Land for adult women!
Mad Madam M: If only you were a better actor in a show that could follow its own mythology. Damn you Logan for getting me into this!!!
Crystal: It’s so sad. He is pretty.
Mad Madam M: Again with the extra clothing. Feel free to make yourself more comfortable on that couch!!
Crystal: No, no. Don’t bother to get up while I make myself comfortable on you.
Mad Madam M: Man do I love a cute slacker!!
Crystal: Oh, I love Reaper. It’s so good. And he is a cutie-patootie.
Mad Madam M: Now in Panama…although Linc still can’t seem to figure out how to button his shirt and Michael is wearing a sweatshirt in a tropical climate.
Crystal: Odd. I’m glad I don’t watch that show suddenly. Though they are pretty.
Mad Madam M: He looks kind of scared in the picture, but keep in mind they just told him he had to do another film with The Chad! That would strike the fear of God into the strongest individual!
Crystal: Film? What film? And The Chad is scary. Thank you for not putting him on this list.
Mad Madam M: Many people feel that he was brought onto Numb3rs to ’sex’ the show up a bit. My response is this…you say that like its a bad thing?!?!?
Crystal: I’m always in favor of sexing up a show. It makes things right with the world.
Mad Madam M: All hell’s about to break loose and I couldn’t be more thrilled. That doesn’t make me a bad person, does it?!?!
Crystal: No. No, it does not. I can’t wait to see what happens this season! *pretty boys*
