In which I reflect on my morning’s activities and decide strategy is not my strong suit. Plus, sharks in tornados.
#1: If you’re going to watch Sharknado with your twitter friends while live-tweeting, don’t do it during your usual blog-writing time.
#2: If you’ve just watched Sharknado and have to blog, don’t promise yourself you’re not going to blog about sharks. Because you are going to blog about sharks, even if you’ve done it before.
#3: If you’re sleepy when you’re blogging, don’t trust your spellchecker when it tells you that “haev” is a perfectly acceptable word.
#4: Don’t trust your spellchecker at all. It thinks “Sharknado” is a real word. (It’s not a real, word, is it? I can feel my conception of the world turning upside down.)
#5: In the case of the end of the world, always carry a weapon appropriate to your specific apocalypse. In the case of shark-bearing tornados, appropriate weapons include bombs and chainsaws.
#6: Just because the only two things you have to do on Saturday morning are watch Sharknado and blog, don’t assume you’ll also have time to edit a scene from your WIP.
#7: Don’t break your streak of two blog posts a week every week for 35 weeks just because all you can think about is sharks flying out of tornados and eating people.
#8: Blame Anna Kaling (@AnnaKaling) for everything because it’s probably her fault. At least, Sharknado was her idea.
#9: Don’t be the “new husband” unless you want to get eaten by a shark. Do be the new girlfriend because you’ll get to sit in the front seat of the car. You’ll also get eaten by a shark, but you won’t die because chainsaws!
#10: Go out and watch Sharknado. After all my subtle references, you know you want to.
What is it with me and horror recently?
This was a short post, but don’t panic. I have a guest post coming out before Wednesday that I think you’re going to enjoy.
In the meantime, have you seen my post “Why you should write book reviews“?
Take care out there, people, and watch out for flying sharks.
Get notifications about all my posts and stories, no sharks or tornados (usually).
#Sharknading for life!
#Sharknading!
I don’t know if I can make myself watch this. Lol.
If there’s an hour and a half of your life that you hate and want to kill, kill it with Sharknado. 🙂
Can I tell you. . . I’ve watched all four Sharknado movies, and we actually *paid* to rent the last one because we cancelled cable a while back and it was the only legal way to see it. Normally I’m mister super-deep artsy indie film, but sometimes you just need something ridiculous. And chainsaws. Lots of chainsaws.
The second is my favorite. I’d tell you why, but in the off chance you haven’t seen it yet, I don’t want to ruin anything.
I like you even more now! Sometimes you do just need chainsaws. I haven’t seen the second one yet, so thanks for holding back on the spoilers. 🙂
Hmm, there should be some place combining sharks and video games. We could call it a “sharkade.”
I’m not entirely sure what the deal would be, but I’ll leave it to the underlings to work out the petty details. I’m just the idea guy, the visionary.
You are *so* the idea guy. Who needs details when you have minions?
If it’s any consolation, I had so much work planned for Saturday, but #Sharknading on Friday night followed by the related #Sharknading dreams meant very little got done. Although I did rough out a blog. About #Sharknading…
You had #Sharknading dreams! Awesome. 🙂 Sorry we broke your Saturday.
I’m in!
That posted in the wrong place. I’m in for the Grabbers movie! Also, the broken Saturday was totally worth it. 😉
Yay! (I got your point.)
You are welcome.
Have any of you seen Grabbers? You need to watch Grabbers!
I haven’t seen Grabbers, but that’s a great name. Are they giant worms? Gremlins? Octopuses? I must watch.
I guess they mostly resemble octopuses. The best part is that in order to fight them, you have to be drunk. 😀
OMG, I must watch this right now!
Life in the USA since November 9 makes Sharknados seem not only plausible, but imminent. Stocking up on chainsaws.
When the Sharknado apocalypse comes, can I stay with you? I’d get my own chainsaws, but I’m a bit unco and I worry about accidentally cutting off my arm.
You really should see Grabbers. I’m addicted to impossible-horror (as opposed possible-horror, with stalkers and serial killers and diseases and such), and I very much liked Grabbers.
However, my opinion is suspect. I also watched Zombeavers.
Ooh, “Zombeavers”! How can one word be so evocative? I must have it.
I better go out and buy me a chainsaw!
Can I hang out with you when Sharknado comes?
Lol, sure thing! I’ll be a master at chainsaw sword art soon.
Yay! Just don’t let me get my hands on your chainsaw. I’m a hazard.
