The Iceman May Cometh, But The Kidney Stone Passeth (If You’re Lucky)

I had cancer in 2002 and know what chronic pain can be like. It’s insidious in the way that it builds a sluice to slowly drain your will to live. You live with it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but you don’t measure time in anything close to weeks. While awake (which […]

 

ABE Books (and other sites like it): I Could Have An Orgasm

On July 11, 2012, in Book Release, Indie Reader, Interviews, Just for Fun, Past Reading, by rsguthrie

So I’ve mentioned this blog interview I did. What I have NOT done yet (like an idiot) is LINK TO IT, or TWEET IT yet. The irony is I have NEVER had so much fun with an interview. I don’t know whether it was the GREAT questions or my mood or the ordering of the […]

 

How About A Little Zombie Love?

On June 20, 2012, in Humor, Just for Fun, Parody, by rsguthrie

You know who you are. Stop pretending that it’s okay that we glamorize the vampires and werewolves and other unseemly beings. Zombies have hearts, too (even if they are hanging off the side of their pants pocket). Those poor, smelly, mutated, unpopular bastards. When do they get their love? Vampires, werewolves—heck, even King Kong, that […]

 

Now My BLOG has a Rejection Slip — Is NOTHING Sacred?

On May 21, 2012, in Humor, Just for Fun, Parody, by rsguthrie

I was perusing a site the other day where you can list your KDPS promotion (i.e what days your book is free) and they actually had several different “free” promos. One was to submit up to three of your blog entries and if they liked one, they would showcase you in their, uh, blog collective, […]

 

Silly Sunday: Can’t We All Just Laugh It Off?

On May 6, 2012, in Humor, Just for Fun, Parody, by rsguthrie

We all need to laugh more. Take ourselves less seriously. Yes, you, too. All of us, from the highest mountaintop (read: executive cherry wood desk) to the lowest valley (read: the rest of us). I have this silly habit as a writer/artist/creator. I love those “demotivational posters”—you know, the parodies of the ones that put […]

 

Shawshank Sunday: Novelists, Screenwriters, Movies, and Memorable Moments

On March 25, 2012, in In Memoriam, Just for Fun, Miscellaneous, Movie Quotes, by rsguthrie

No, this isn’t a blog about spending the sabbath in stir. It is, however, a blog about this writer making an admission. I admit it, I am a movie FANATIC. And there’s just nothing I love more than a classic movie line. I quote ’em. I wake up thinking about ’em. Anyone who knows me […]

 

An Irish Limerick (Send the Kids from the Room)

On March 17, 2012, in Just for Fun, Miscellaneous, St. Paddy's Day, by rsguthrie

I love St. Paddy’s Day. There are a hundred reasons why and not one of them has to do with the rich tradition of the day; too often we celebrate a holiday without the slightest clue as to what the deep, historical meaning might be. All right, stop cringing—good lord, I thought you were actually […]
