8 Heads in a Duffel bag

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a 1997 black comedy film starring Joe Pesci, Kristy Swanson and David Spade. It was the directorial debut of screenwriter Tom Schulman. In 1998 the film won the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film's Silver Raven award. This is my version:

Every time I walk into my bathroom I laugh and think "OK. I have a so so Sue; a bad Felicia; a decent Taylor; and a bad Gypsy." (If you have seen the movie, you get it)

One thing about Chemo is that it has the propensity of making you shed hair more than a Siberian Husky.

People, I cannot rock a had scarf or go bald. I just don't have the bone structure or good looks to do it. So my weapon(s) of choice is a wig. Or as of today, 4 wigs. Now, you have to know that you're looking at a woman who for her whole life wanted to change her hair style, but just never did. I was too scared to cut my hair. It was waist length, natural strawberry blonde/red. I never colored it either. For many years I kept the same, dull, boring hairstyle. I trimmed it up in later years, curled it occasionally, and that was as close to a "style" as i got (as seen below, BC).




And then along came chemo and a whole new world opened up. Wigs. Now, I have so many different hair options, people at work are wondering if I'm schizophrenic. One week I'm a brunette with highlights, the next week I'm a strawberry blonde rocking bangs.

You've gotta find the fun in the worst of circumstances. I'm slowly finding mine.

PvP huh, What?!

via GIPHY If I kill you in Arenas or World PvP, then you really suck.  Either that or I have a raid group somehow hiding in the background and killing you. I.Just.Can't.PvP.   No really, I can't.   I've tried.   Goodness knows, I've tried.  I seem to have a sign over me that says, "EASY KILL THIS WAY" My sons (Wuffles the rogue and Graycen the Priest) have this bright idea of trying to teach me to arena PvP for the 200th time.    And, they want to teach me while streaming it.   Oh joy. This isn't my first rodeo.  Oh no.   This cow has tried arena's before that ended veeery badly.   My partners usually quit, or maybe they just have a stroke and have to call 911; I'm never quite sure.   I thought I heard someones' head explode once, but that could have been them pounding the keyboard into dust right before they went offline, and then their head exploded.   Shrug.... vent quality sometimes isn't that clear. ...

WoW Bucket List

Everybody should have a bucket list.  Mine has been recycled quite a few times, held together by duct tape, and the handle has since broken off, but the bucket still holds water. Nestled in my bucket list, somewhere between visiting Italy and paying off all my debt, is to visit Blizzard HQ and attend Blizzcon.   I had to scratch working for Blizzard off my list, although I'm a great Executive Assistant, I figure I'm unemployable at a new company whilst going through cancer.   I can just imagine the interview process: Me:   "Yes I need 2 days off a month to get chemo.  And, oh yea, your insurance company is going to hate both you and me because your loss ratio is going to increase and set you back 3 years at minimum, along with the premiums going up." Uh sorry, where was I?    Oh yea, so bucket list, Blizzard/Blizzcon.  It's an odd bucket list item.   Bucket items are supposed to be a bit more grandiose.   I mean it's not li...

What's in a Name?

Picking a name for your character is hard!   For my Tauren, I  had originally tried the "usual" cow names like Bessie, Bertha, Mooey.  Thank God some idiot already had those names taken.    After a few hundred (well, it seemed like that anyway) name attempts, I ended up with the name Calliea (now Callieaa).   There's one guy out there that named his characters Lamp and Chair.   That was some writer's block of sorts happening right there. Some names I see in game are very creative.   Some are laugh out loud funny.    Then there are some names that I just can't understand why, WHY would you name your character that?   Like Diarrhea.   Just the thought of hearing that name called out in Vent, or Discord, or Mumble, etc. gives me the shudders.    Must be that 15 year old boy sense of humor thing. My alts' names were easier:  Jynxee, Zallie, Echelone.  I really didn't put too much thought into them and ca...
