As most people know, I am the GM of an REG Theatre. One thing that is in my blood, is entertainment. Whether it be music, books or movies. I. Love. It.
Most parents who go to the movies spend a ton of money on tickets, concessions and babysitters. When they go to a 7 o'clock showing of a movie they've been waiting for for months, they don't want to listen to a baby crying, ruining the evening they've waited on having for so long. Most theatres have installed a policy stating that No child under the age of four may be admitted to movie unless it is G to PG rated and deemed a family movie. Let me tell you, I did a jig! Granted, it pisses of more people who are not considerate of "date night", but I get more pats on the back than not.
I admit it. I cannot sit in any of my auditoriums during normal business hours. I will end up going postal and probably kill someone. Between the talking and TEXTING, I cannot even enjoy a simple movie any more. To cure this, a policy was created at our theatre. Not only does Sprint or AT&T send us the "Please Silence Your Phones, No Texting or Talking During The Movie" signs, but if my staff or I have to speak to you more than twice, you are escorted out of the theatre, no refund given. Of course, when you remove a teenager for texting the whole time, it wasn't them. You're lying! I have often pointed to the sign and have asked them if they can read it, since it is plainly posted on the ENTRANCE of the auditorium, and they read it out loud just fine. I then ask them if they saw the ad that says not to text, and I get a grumbled yes. When asked why they do it, and I get told they weren't, but yet there I was standing over them, watching them, but I'm a dumb adult. I don't know anything.
I think the Alamo Drafthouse has it right. I honestly WISH we could show this video and get away with it. I think it would solve some problems, and maybe I wouldn't have to wait until midnight to watch a movie, because I'd hate to be the first GM in history to get kicked out of their OWN theatre because she opened a can of whoop ass all over someone for texting.
Enjoy the video. I know I did. Don't forget to drop me a comment on your pet peeves in a theatre too!
Wonder Woman, Cupcakes, Angels, Daemons... Whatever, these are totally and completely scattered scribblings of a girl with her head in the clouds.

February means it’s sexy time…
I am the luckiest girl. Admit it, you're jealous.
Huh? Oh. Whoops. Why be jealous? (Okay okay, you don't have to rub it in, I forgot how to properly introduce her!)
Be jealous because I have the Wickedest Sinner of all in the house! That's right! (I hear the OoooOohhhh's! and AAaAAahhHHh's! ) Charity Parkerson ! She is the author of "The Danger from Within", "A Fighting Chance", "The Society of Sinners", "A Secure Heart", and "Wicked Sinners".
So, without further adieu, here is my good friend and author with her guest post on the most sexiest holiday of all:
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and this means that most of us have two things on our minds: chocolate and sex!
In honor of this occasion, I thought I’d share some fun facts with everyone, just to get you in the mood.
· Over50 % of all people fantasize more often about money than sex
· The most popular method for burning calories is kissing
· 11,000 Americans injure themselves every year attempting a new sexual position
· Lipstick was invented in Egyptian times for women that specialized in oral sex. They wanted their lips to look more inviting
· Many believe that chocolate is an aphrodisiac, possibly because of the simple sensual pleasure of its consumption. Scientists suggest that the obromine and other chemicals do act as mild sexual stimulants
Now that you know a few new facts, go eat some chocolate, get a little, and if you need some help heating up go check out my book "A Secure Heart"

Mascots or Our Babies?
Everyone loves animals. Period. They always bring a smile to our faces on the days that we feel horrible, they know when you're not feeling good and cuddle right up, or when you want to play, they're right there waiting.
These are my babies, and mascots. Daisy is my oldest, a rottie, and acts like she is still a 70lbs lap dog. She will actually say please when you ask her, and talks like our favorite Wookie: Chewbacca. She has a favorite stuffie that she is pictured with, a horse aptly named "Horsie" and carries it around much like a child, snuggles with it and even takes it to bed with her. She has great charisma and is a well rounded family dog.
Sarge is the baby, but wears the pants. He thinks he is ten foot tall and bullet proof and rules the roost. He has a personality that terrorizes the best of us, loves to play a game we call "Get the paws", keeping his paws away when you try and grab them, and he loves fetch. He won't hesitate to tear up Daisy's stuffies, but has had a squeekie since he was 8 weeks old that he will fight a pit bull over. No one touches it. His soft side is with me, he loves to give me hugs and cuddle up when he's cold, but otherwise, very independent.
I call them my mascots because when it comes to writing, they're always right there, whether it is Daisy wanting attention or Sarge trying to crawl onto my lap or walking across my keyboard. Either way, it causes laughter, which is the best medicine at any given time.
What about you? Any babies that rule your world? Do they act like they think they're human and pout when you scold them? How're their personalities? Do tell, I'm dying to know if mine are the only ones who think they're people!
Until next time,
Stay Evil!

It's all in the sauwse
You read it right. Sauwse. I couldn't believe it at first either.
My husband came home from work one night telling me about this crazy video he found. EpicMealTime. He found something on zombies. I rolled my eyes. I mean, come on ... a bunch of guys trying to make a meal with a ton of calories?? Well, I was a good wife and sat down to suffer for the next two minutes of my life. I admit, at first, I glared at my husband like he had lost his mind. You know the look. The scrunched up nose glare that reads "REALLY???" Yeah, that one. Then he just had to show me more.
I. Got. Hooked.
So guess what? I'm going to hook you all in with some Candy Sushi. I would eat this. I know half of you would too if you have a sweet tooth like me. Enjoy, and bon appetite!
