Jessie
Welcome to the 52nd episode of Podcaturday. We have a new intro, a new outro (that’s the end part) and a new banner. We also got 11! voicemails. The show is a little longer than usual, cause that’s how your mom likes it.
See the left hand thing on the banner? That includes some of the stuff we talk about this week. And I can change it each week as I presume we are not going to talk about the same things each week. I ARE SMART OF COMMUNICATE! My college was a good idear.
Also, this chick in the picture is the only groupie I have. Her name is Jessie and that’s not even her car. Her car is a Honda Civic with like, 500 Arby’s wrappers in the back. Arby’s? Who eats Arby’s? Well, Jessie does, and she also sends me dirty Facebook messages.
If you want to be a groupie, call the hotline at: 206-888-1710, and if you are all SUSPICIOUS like some people I know *cough*JuliesDad*cough* then you can totally see by my Internet website here that everything I do is totally legit. I’m like a doctor or a crop duster. If you were a farmer and a dude hopped out of a bi-plane wearing goggles and a long white scarf and offered to dust your crops, would you think he was going to do something else?
No you wouldn’t. People trust crop dusters, which is why you should trust me. Enjoy the show!

Alexander Skarsgard and me, I mean Sookie, before they kiss.
Well, it’s official. Josh Gates has been knocked out of my number one spot and replaced with the Swedish hotness that is Alexander Skarsgard.
Josh, I apologize for this recent turn of events. If you want to blame anyone, blame The Beans since she’s the one that told me I just had to watch True Blood. And believe me, if The Beans tells you to do something, you better do it.
Anyway, last night I finally finished season three of True Blood. I began watching the show about two and a half weeks ago. I would have finished sooner, but there was work to be done and money to be made. I couldn’t just spend my entire day in front of my computer, drooling and having a coronary every time ASkars popped up on the screen. Although, a day spent like that is definitely on my bucket list.
As for what I thought about the show, well, it kicks the shit out of the books!!!
I’ve read almost all of the Sookie Stackhouse series, and they were okay. They aren’t the best books out there, but they aren’t the worst either. But the show, oh, the show….it’s in its own league. (Take that Twilight! Ya’ll suck in comparison. No pun intended.)
Seriously, the characters in the show are so much more developed and entertaining than they are in the books. I absolutely love Lafayette and Jessica, as well as the gullible Jason Stackhouse, whom you can’t help but love. I also LOVE Alcide. They couldn’t have picked a more perfect person to play that role. He just screams werewolf.
I am sad, though, that Bubba is not on the show. His character in the books was fantastic.
As for characters I loathe, Lorena takes the cake. WHAT A CRAZY BIOTCH! Maryanne Forrester was pretty bad too.
And finally, I can’t end this post without addressing the most important question out there today: Team Eric or Team Bill? TEAM ERIC FOR THE WIN!! (Sorry, Bill, but I think you’re a lying, manipulative cheat who deserves a kick in his vampire ass.)
For those of you who have not had the chance to enjoy ASkars in all his gorgeousness, here’s a video for you to enjoy.
Acadia has been a huge help (weird, I know,) in pushing promotion for my brand new dark fantasy eBook, The Goblin Market, which became available for purchase last week on Amazon and Smashwords for just $2.99.
We were butting heads like a couple of crazy rams in the middle of a field yesterday, when Acadia said, “Beans, you should do one of your giveaways on The Gallery this week.”
Clever, Acadia. Because we share completely different reader-bases, and when you put a novel out you want to reach as large an audience as possible. A lot of my readers over at The Inner Bean already know I’m writing and putting out novels, but maybe the faithful and dedicated readers here at The Gallery didn’t know that.
I’m giving away 5 eBook copies of The Goblin Market every day this week, as you may have guessed from the title of this post. Even if you didn’t guess, now you know. Winning one is relatively easy. On Monday I gave copies away to the first five people to comment on my site about their favorite fairy tales. Tuesday I gave away five more to commenters sharing their thoughts on what makes a good villain. Today, winning one is going to be a tad bit harder…
Every Saturday, Acadia, Melz and I hook up for Podcaturday. You know, the weekly round table discussion with three people who know everything about nothing… We have a hot line you can call into, and we play your voice mails on the show each week. If you want to win one of today’s 5 eBook copies, all you have to do is call the Podcaturday hot line at 206-888-1710 and leave message tell us what your favorite fantasy movie is. That’s it! Easy peasy, right? We will announce the winners on Saturday’s episode of Podcaturday and play your voice mails live on the show as we lead into talking about our own favorite fantasy movies.
So say you don’t want to wait until Saturday morning to find out if you won a copy of The Goblin Market? You can pick one up on Amazon or Smashwords for $2.99… less than a Tall Caramel Machiatto at Starbucks and you’re helping an indy author grow her fanbase and readership.
OK – here is the deal. I like the Netflix Game so I’m going to do it for money. That’s me giving YOU money. I wish I could do it the other way around but I can’t figure out how. And because I’m giving away money I’m gonna include this in this here Podcaturday Post! So first I talk about Podcaturday and then I tell you how you can win $25.00. Pretty sweet deal, actually.
After a one week hiatus caused by NOT ME we got back on track this week and you get to hear Melz and Beans at their grumpiest. We had some sweet voicemails and we we talked about Midnight Madness, perhaps the best movie of all time that stars Eddie Deezen and Michael J. Fox. I’m embedding the beginning after the jump and then you can watch the rest of it on YouTube just by clicking the thing. but, even more importantly than that, after the jump I TELL YOU HOW TO WIN $25.00.

Well, it is getting closer to dark, and soon you will have to either get your kids ready to go out trick or treating, or get ready to hand out candy to trick or treating kids, or getting your van ready to snatch kids or doing nothing cause your driveway is too fucking long for kids to walk up. Whatever is it, the best thing you can do to get ready is click these links and watch these videos. You can trust me. I’m like a doctor. A dirty, devil doctor. So get clicking!

But then a while later you will get a weekend preview invite. I am watching Cloverfield right now, and they have Pet Sematary, which is bad ass.
- I just dug the scarecrow pic this dude took.
Videos after the cut.
Sondra had been sitting in the parking lot outside the Genetti Hotel for twenty minutes just watching the people climb out of their cars, shuffle along the sidewalk and enter into the building. She hadn’t recognized anyone yet, but she had no idea who was already inside.
She turned the rearview mirror toward her face and stretched her neck to examine the black vein that disappeared into her hair and crawled up the back of her neck. She had done everything she could to cover it up with makeup, and for the most part it was barely visible unless one was looking for it, but she could see it, and that was all that mattered.
“God, I feel so stupid,” she pushed the mirror away and jammed her spine against the seat behind her with a self-defeated huff. “I should have stayed home.”
Her mind raced over every humiliating scenario it could muster, from walking right into the middle of a point and laugh ceremony to being completely ignored when she entered. She squeezed her eyes tightly closed, but the sting of tears darted along the edges of her lashes. It wasn’t fair that no matter what she did, she couldn’t shake her own pathetic label.
Destroy them. A tiny voice inside her spoke up. The only way to show them what you’re made of is to destroy them all.
Sondra sat upright and reached for the mirror again. She drew it toward her face and leaned forward to inspect her reflection. “I should destroy them,” she told herself, her watery blue eyes darkening with vengeance.
Yes, the voice inside hissed. Tear them all apart.
“I’ll tear them all apart.”
And eat their brains. Read the rest of this entry »
