The Rantings of a Literary Diva: School Board Holds County Hostage

http://chesya.blogspot.com/2008/08/school-board-holds-county-hostage.html

The Rantings of a Literary Diva. Thursday, August 28, 2008. School Board Holds County Hostage. Clayton County Schools Lose Accreditation. About this issue already. I moved from the county several months ago, as I could not put my children's future on the line. But what about those who can not move. They aren't sure what will happen to seniors this year. Imagine having gone to school for twelve years and finding out that your diploma is worthless. Those poor kids! Had a great time. Will call soon.

The Rantings of a Literary Diva: Formidable women, half retarded men

http://chesya.blogspot.com/2008/08/formidable-women-half-retarded-men.html

The Rantings of a Literary Diva. Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Formidable women, half retarded men. So, I helped my mother move yesterday. She was at work and couldn’t get off, so the only people there were myself, and my two sisters. My mom moves a lot. She doesn’t like to stay in one place too long, so about every two years she gets the itch, and I know I’ll be getting a call telling me she’s found the most amazing place. And they always are. The only bad thing is that I have to help her move. It’s s...

The Rantings of a Literary Diva: June 2010

http://chesya.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

The Rantings of a Literary Diva. Thursday, June 17, 2010. The question: “One would think that since we’ve come so far as to have a black president we wouldn’t need award programs where the winners have to be of a particular ethnicity. Imagine the hate and protest that would come if there was a White. Television channel and awards ceremony, or a White Miss America Pageant. Are these ethnic-centered events still needed? What are your thoughts? Than our last few presidents combined. Really… So, PoC do...

Mermaid Leap: February 2010

http://mermaidleap.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

On Taking a Leap - How High Can a Mermaid Jump Anyway? The SunChips Bag Project. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Oy with the poodles already. My husband and I have become those people who, when asked if we have any children / when we are going to have any, we say, "Oh no, we have a dog.". She is perking up, finally. I can. Dog or not, if you love someone, you are going to worry about them when they are sick. I suppose the worry is a feeling I will be able to tap into with my writing, but this is o...We are to...

http://deadinthesouth.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-fog-2005.html

Thursday, January 17, 2013. Way back in the aughts (You remember those. No? They ended three years ago! Fewer drugs, dude.) there was a mini-wave of remaking horror films from the 70s/80s. Halloween. Nightmare on Elm Street. And Arthur all got remakes, with enough success to encourage studios to keep doing it. John Carpenter’s 1980 film The Fog. Nick Castle (Tom Welling, Smallville. But…Try not to think about it. Nick has an old girlfriend Elizabeth (Maggie Grace, Taken. The actors are good looking but u...

Dead In The South: WITA #5: Al Sarrantonio

http://deadinthesouth.blogspot.com/2013/01/wita-5-al-sarrantonio.html

Thursday, January 17, 2013. WITA #5: Al Sarrantonio. I am continuing to put these old interviews from my column We Interrupt This Author. Back on-line, courtesy of Cemetery Dance, on whose website this first appeared on August 3, 2010. I feel they may be of interest to some, although the material in them is obviously dated. Thanks to CD for allowing the re-publication of these pieces. Dead In The South. Your latest book from Cemetery Dance is Halloween: New Poems. Tell us a little about it. Halloween is ...

http://deadinthesouth.blogspot.com/2011/08/wita-2-tim-curran.html

Saturday, August 27, 2011. WITA # 2: Tim Curran. Continuing to reprint the older We Interrupt This Author series, here is the second interview, originally posted on Cemetery Dance’ website on June 28, 2010. At the time of the interview, Tim’s book The Corpse King. Had just been released, so once again, this is taken a bit out of temporal context. The only change in the text is the re-insertion of a mention of the book Four Rode Out. Here are a few questions with which we bothered him. WITA -You live in t...

Dead In The South: Friday the 13th (2009)

http://deadinthesouth.blogspot.com/2009/02/friday-13th-2009.html

Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Friday the 13th (2009). Last Friday night, I was at the sold-out 11:00 o’clock showing of the new Friday the 13th. Through a complicated process, I was with a good friend who hates horror movies, and having watched all eleven prior movies in two weeks left me babbling F13. Trivia like an idiot, but my friend is good natured. Nispel also directed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Remake, and his Friday the 13th. A neat trick was presenting us with two possible Final Girls (since the...
