Caught in Traffic

"Ernest?"

He hated that name...even the shortened Ernie was enough to set him off.

"Ernest? Answer me, young man!"

He could feel that little vein under temple start to dance in a rhythmical, measured cadence. If she kept using that name, he wouldn't be able to control himself much longer. That name.

"Ernest? Ernest!! Where did you get it? To whom does it belong?"

There she goes again. Why won't she stop? That little vein now felt like a freeway running through the side of his head. It was beginning to hurt. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he felt the first slow wave of a migraine. He was doing everything he could to control himself, and now it looked like he was going to pay for it.

"Ernest? Where did you get that arm?"

My Harry Potter world!!

I am currently rereading the first six books. What a great ride! Here are a couple of great websites if you're a Harry Potter fan:

Who has time!!??!!

I started this as a way to release some creative rants, musings and writings. So far I don't seem to have the time to rant or muse. Oy vey!! Sigh - hopefully the summer months will find me more willing to take the extra time to do something useful with this and my biggyblogger site.

Here's a couple of cool websites...okay, not cool...would you go for just strange and interesting?

As my wife and I have pre-ordered our two copies of the 7th book in the Harry Potter series, I wish to take a moment to plug the fifth movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - OMG!!! It looks so good. These movies keep getting better and better! Though no where near as good as the books!!

Enough is enough...

I have another site that is devoted to my interest in crytozoological mysteries. On this site, I post my musings and article links for people who have much the same interest. My brother and my mom also contribute useful and interesting items. It's a completely amateur site. We aren't trying to sell you a bill of goods based on our so-called 'expertise'. Saying that to say this...

We often check out other sites. They are deplorable. They are hack sites that float any ridiculous item as a mystery (that they'll be sure to include in their next book!). Many of the sites (and one in particular that shall remain nameless due to litigious hair trigger on the part of the blog owner - he's got bills to pay!!) are almost whoreish in their attempts to sell you a book. One of the more digusting sites had a unseemly donations request that made me want to scream, "Go get a job!!" The money plea seemed to hinge on the fact that the internet, the cryptozoological world and possibly the sun would cease to exist if this over promoted hack didn't get money from you. What a scam!

1. If you don't have a legitimate mystery posting...don't!
2. If you have to beg people for money, go get a job! We are not obligated to support you.
3. If you have to troll the internet for similar sites to post message promoting your own site, you look like a weasel.
4. Just because the dumb ass media keeps interviewing you doesn't mean we care what you have to say.
5. Have something to say. Be prepared to support it.
6. If you are going to write books on subjects that involve serious scientific study, please don't get mad when we question your ability to have anything to say. You community college degree in literature or drama doesn't really count as a conducive background to scientific research.

Isn't it scary?

I was reading an article on line related to the teacher candidate that was refused her degree by her university because she had a topless picture of her on a Myspace page. She is now suing for her certificate, degree and damages.

It certainly gives me pause as to what I put out on the internet. Will my affinity for gopher puppet shows cause me to lose my job or be denied a promotion? It's a scary thing. You should think about it as well. I mean...come on...what kind of world would we have without gopher puppet shows?
