Fun is fun and DONE IS DONE! SCRIPT FRENZY is WON!

Tempest is not the sort of lady who curses very often, but CURSE ACROBAT! Tempest hates that the PDF files come out 4 pgs less than Word!

Watching the Gwen Araujo story. A sad and senseless murder of a young transgender woman.

TWO PAGES LEFT!

Who else finds the Evony ads with the lingerie models lame and obnoxious? I was hoping they would have disappeared by now.

Ten more pages till upload!

Hello Melatonin, my old friend--I've come to talk with you again. Because this night owl must be sleeping--to wake up when dawn is creeping.

Dragging my tired old hindquarters to the bath, then off to bed. No peeking now, Lads! ;-)

I've a serious question--since latex is used so often for special makeup effects, what happens if the performer is allergic to latex?

Should be No Issue http://ping.fm/blE36

A "Big" Issue that Should Be a Non-Issue

This was my response to a discussion on a Facebook group about how "Big Beautiful Women" (aka "phat or thick girls") are not "Curvy." Really. What a bunch of damn nonsense! Now big girls of different builds are going to start hating on each other? Do we not have things hard enough as it is in this society that blatantly loathes larger people?

I am just SO. BLOODY. TIRED. of women hating one another and getting into virtual cat fights. "If you're built like this you can't be curvy." "BBW is not the same as curvy."
"Fat is disgusting." "Skinny girls aren't feminine." We all need to get over this! It's dreadful. It is hard enough being a woman in today's world, particularly if you have even an ounce of fat on your body anywhere. There is enough hate from the media without us perpetuating it amongst ourselves.
I always did rather consider myself "curvy" although I am a size 18, which I guess according to you-all would make me a "BBW" and not curvy. Whatever. I'm just a woman. I'm too damn old and tired to fight about it any longer.

We need to stand together, like sisters. Not get into bitch-fights. Being born in the 1960's, I'm a bit of an old-school feminist. Even back in the 1980's it was mostly about earning the right to be treated with equal respect and dignity. I've seen more and more of this trend towards women trying to scratch each other's eyes out these days--over the pettiest things--and it is very distressing to me. Ladies, we still only earn 70 cents for every dollar men earn. It doesn't matter what size we are!

Tempest must start a load of laundry and then take her tired self out for takeout. Why? To stay awake long enough to get laundry to dryer!

Tempest is hoping that her state of financial insolvency will not force her to work at either Belle Catley's or the Ravishing Woo Woo.

Tempest is wondering if it would be gauche to purchase her mother a Mother's Day bouquet, considering that she just borrowed $ from Mummy.

Time to go for a long drive in the rain to deliver my paperwork. Then the excitement of grocery shopping while mostly broke. Such is life.

Tempest must finish her rotten paperwork and take it over to the school.

What a wonderful rainy morning! Perhaps I am unusual in this, but I love the rain, sometimes even more than sunny days.

I actually liked the most recent scene from my script, but I'm still terribly behind. I've 50 pages, should be at 80.

If I am not going to sleep, I best work a bit more on this train wreck of a script. The idea is good but the execution should be executed.

Tempest is dreadfully thrilled not to have to be at the hospital today at the unholy hour of 6:30 AM. Or at all, for that matter!

Tempest hopes she will be able to beat this minor sore throat into submission before it becomes a cesspit of contagion.

Still behind on my Script Frenzy script but working to catch up. Don't think its very good but there may be the grain of something there.

The issue I have currently with my Script Frenzy script is that it seems to have degenerated into nonsensical twaddle. Terribly distressing!

If I am able to complete five pages a day until April 30, I will complete the Script Frenzy challenge.

Melatonin, work thy magic and allow me another four blessed hours of slumber.

As a treat for herself for muddling through these nursing clinicals, Tempest intends to purchase the set of Phantasm movies.

It stinks to be a creative person pigeonholed into a conformist work situation. I am most assuredly a square peg forced into a round hole.

"You can lose weight eating cookies." Well, surely that must be a dream! And I am surely not sleeping very well. :-(

Torrid Tempest: How About Some Respect? http://ping.fm/azf62

How About Some Respect?

This is Not a Video Game or Movie Character

Maybe Tempest is terribly naive, but she thinks that it would be simple common decency if people would not exploit the very real photo of the above fellow's suicide. She thinks that doing so is not only disrespectful to him and the rather severe psychological difficulties he struggled with in his short and rather miserable life, but is as well disrespectful to his surviving family members. From the statements that have been made by his siblings, they did care about him and to be in danger of being exposed to that image on any given day thanks to the lack of thought on the part of even those who claim to be fans of his is a terrible thing indeed.

It seems to Tempest that people treat this dreadful photograph as if it were a scene from a movie. The young man was not in fact utilizing special effects, Dahlings. He had truly taken his own life. The individual in the photograph is not going to get up and walk away. Just because someone was callous enough to take this photograph does not mean that everyone else should be callous enough to continue to exploit it.

Tempest has the feeling that this young gentleman did not feel that anyone particularly cared about him during his life. Cannot we at least have the common decency to show a modicum of respect for his memory?

I enjoy black and death metal myself. But do let us evolve beyond the attitude that any gory image should be splattered about without regard for the suffering of whoever or whatever is being photographed. 

May you find peace, dearest Spooky Fellow.

Regards,

Tempest

I feel that nature is adding insult to injury when a woman of my not so tender years finds a horrific volcanic blemish erupting on her chin.

Tempest has found herself dangerously close to being deemed unladylike on more than one occasion today.

Few things are as disconcerting or unseemly as a sneezing fit.

Tempest needs to do her homework before she can play. Now honestly...Should a woman who is more than 100 years old be forced to say this?

Torrid Tempest: Tempest in the Garden http://ping.fm/q7x8Y

Tempest in the Garden

Here I am in the garden behind the Netherworld Hotel with Lafayette the Cat, Dahlings. I am avoiding the well because I hear that there are dreadful things which live in it, like the horrible cat boy-girl-thing, and maybe Samara,* though I understand that she and Freddy Krueger are pretty happy together down on Cuzzin Hildy-Bob's farm these days. There truly is someone for everyone, and maybe that is not a good thing. 

The power is probably out again and that is why I'm carrying a candle. I do hope that Mr. Lovecraft--or perhaps Lord Iffy--will come by and protect me from that beastly Axe Man, better known as the Norwegian Nympho.

Kisses,
Tempest

*please note that the Netherworld Samara is not an evil child of nine or ten. She's an evil young woman of indeterminate age but old enough to no longer be jail bait.

The contest is all in good fun. Even if one has never written a script before, one is still a winner. But one must give a real try.

Saying that one has written 100 pages means nothing if the 100 pages is unreadable nonsense where the individual didn't even try.

Some fellow Script Frenziers express disgust at those who enter with intent to write 100 pgs of twaddle. This sort only cheat themselves.

This lurid film is Confessions of a Go Go Dancer. And on a luridness scale of one to ten, it is really only about a two.

But of course, Dahlings, they will try to make her seem to be the whore and they to be somehow innocent of wrongdoing. It's the same story.

In this film, I would say the young lady's father and brother are equal to her on the scales of sin for visiting a club for a show of skin.

It occurs to me that these ladies movies involving strip tease dancers really look no different than a Victoria's Secret fashion show.

Tempest's Secrets Revealed!

Tempest Nightingale LeTrope is a failed Victorian novelist who fell asleep after pricking her finger on an old spinning wheel while exploring the attic in what was once the Overlook Hotel but became the Netherworld hotel upon imploding into the Netherworld. She refuses to be a failure in this new century. Her mode of dress and way of speaking may be a tad outmoded, but she is a thoroughly modern lady. Do not confuse her with any frail waif.
Tempest is somewhat enamored of H.P. Lovecraft and enjoys inviting him up to her garret for tea and picking his brain. Not eating his brain--Tempest is not a zombie.
Writing, writing, and more writing. Costumes, theatre, cinema. Reading. Tempest is particularly fond of pulp fiction. Reading it makes her feel rather naughty.

And now off to the post office. What a dreadfully uninspiring day this is turning out to be! I hope to take tea with Mr. Lovecraft later.

My Facebook "widget" does not work on my Vox blog, Dahlings. This is dreadfully frustrating. I am a WRITER, not a page designer!

Tempest knows how to work with her Facebook profile page, Dahlings, but she can't find her own fan page! It's quite embarrassing.

This heat has not been making Tempest feel very well, Dahlings. I think I am going to swoon!

Tempest is testing her Facebook link.

The same old song: sick and tired of being sick and tired.
