YOU"RE THE WORST on FXX season finale

    Woe is me and not for just one reason. I love this show and all its characters. I want to hang out with these wretched folks and partake in caring/not caring about each other. I want to be able to tell them off, live the California life and be in my early 30's. So my running to the TV on Wednesday nights has come to an end, for now. That would be woe number one. 
    Woe number two, Jimmy abandoning Gretchen on that hill-cliff place. Does he just drive around the corner for a bit of a cry? Was she wearing heels? Because walking home or getting down to the road for someone to pick her up will totally suck. Will they ever get over their mommy/daddy issues? And how long was he sitting on that ring?       
    I'ts nice to see Lindsay (the evil version of Betty Boop) actually loving the idea of growing up and it was also fun to watch Paul be mean to her or anyone FINALLY. The absolute worst couple of all, Vern and Becca, actually survive the season still together. 
    Let's face it, Dorothy and Edgar, made no sense. That being said, although I do enjoy all the story lines, my favorite episode was the one when Edgar loses it. The episode revolved completely around him, a rotten day in his rotten life and his serious PTSD problem. In those quick 30 minutes or less we got to see Desmin Borgess' talent. It was an impressionable half hour. Well written and well acted. Season 4, you're well awaited. 

The Strain on FX

So I'm watching The Strain a couple of weeks ago and BAM! out of nowhere it was the season finale. I had no clue it was that time, maybe because I was enjoying it every Sunday night, when as I'm watching I'm thinking HEY, this is more than a regular episode here. Things were taking drastic turns while I was unprepared. And Zach! WTH, dude? But we must plod along and it wouldn't surprise me if that kid eventually becomes the "MASTER" and Eph has to kill him. Anyway, as usual, I love the show. I don't watch shows I do not like. The characters, the actors were great as always. Eichorst might be my favorite TV villain and I like that it's based off a comic series. We lost lot of characters by the end this year, when last year we only had to mourn Nora. (oh and maybe Coco). The Mayor and her NYPD officer, Angel, and finally Kelly, who found a brief stint on Channel Zero, my new favorite on SyFy. I hope to see the rest of the cast next season, as I love them all and Zach... maybe get some therapy, kid! Just kiddin', the young actor did a wonderful job. He made the Zach character surprise me. Not easily done. See ya's next season!

My review of MELTING STEELE by author Kimberly Amato

MELTING STEELE is the second installment of author Kimberly Amato's STEELE SERIES. The irresistible Jasmine "Jazz" Steele is back solving a gruesome crime (the more gruesome, the better, I say) There's some touchy subjects... after all, this is a criminal mystery, and Ms. Amato handled it very well. I love how tough this character is, and the book does have humorous moments, little quips here and there which bring humanity to the bad guy/good guy scenarios. Other than Jasmine, I've become attached to Vic, the medical examiner and also to her partner, the ex-Marine, Will. I'm impatiently waiting for BREAKING STEELE, so I can join the gang again, see what goings on Jasmine gets herself into, and to see if she gets the revenge she so desperately needs.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Opener (spoiler if you haven't possibly seen it by now)

So, I'm sure anyone with a blog and their mother, will be writing about the first episode of season 7 of The Walking Dead, like I'm about to do. Strangely enough, I don't know what to say, as someone who has read these comics and knows it doesn't play out exactly the same, I knew Glenn might be in the running. I did however, think it was Abraham, as Negan replied "You took that like a champ", who else's head could possible handle it like a champ but him, so I did expect both. Then there was the constant mention of the ax. I kept waiting for Rick's hand to get chopped off ...as per comic...and it gave a lot of opportunity for that to happen.... but it didn't. I'm not a fan of the Negan phase of the comics. Maybe because after Glenn and Abraham were killed (comic book wise) there wasn't a new character to replace them in the likability category. It just left a big hole. So our remaining characters are going to have to ramp it up and I'm sure they will. Great casting and writing all around, as always. 

ALL ROADS DESTINED: A Collection of Dark Fiction & Poems

Since I'm not at the end of any books that I can review or at the end of any shows I watch, I've decided to let everyone know my second book ALL ROADS DESTINED: A Collection of Dark Fiction & Poems has been published and available on Amazon.com and Outskirtpress.com. Since it's only been out a few days, distribution by the publisher is not complete, otherwise it would available at B&N.com and other book related sites. The first half of the book is a continuation of The Outposts (a sci/fi post apocalyptic saga) which I started in my first book ALL ROADS HOME: A Collection of Short Stories. If things go as planned there will be another two ALL ROADS books in the future, where more Outpost stories go on. The other short stories are dark fiction related, sadness, twisted endings, creepy characters, isolation, depression...ya know, fun stuff. Happy endings?? What the heck is that about?? If you're just a tiny bit sinister like me... but then again I do share some "awareness" & "human nature" bits. As far as the poetry, it ain't the lovey-dovey kind. The stage play scripts are macabre or "scary".  So if you're looking for something different, try me. I'm a different breed. And if you decide to read my books, I hope you enjoy! Enjoy the oddness and me; "making weird normal".

USA's Mr. Robot

This Blah Blah Blog post is dedicated to Mr. Robot on USA Network. First off, I cannot say enough about this show. Secondly, I'm awestruck and can barely write one word about it. If I say "brilliant", its just not enough. "Stunning", "unbelievable talent"... these words are understatements. There are a handful of shows I watch, Mr. Robot is one that's not just something I watch. I wait and listen intensely for every word spoken. My eyes never leave the screen. How does one write about a show or a script, one idolizes? A cast that plays mainly against the backdrop of Coney Island, Brooklyn and NYC, is genius to a NYC girl such as myself. Between the writing, the acting, and the scenes, Mr. Robot isn't just a show, it's a work of art and I will miss this masterpiece until the next season begins.
Currently watching: You're The Worst, The Strain, and Joe Kenda: Homicide Hunter.

A Stone's Throw by Debbie Delouise

A STONE'S THROW by author Debbie DeLouise.... The main character, Alicia Fairmont leaves her Long Island town in search of her deceased husbands estranged family and becomes embroiled with the inhabitants and history of the old town he came from. I like how the author casts suspicion everywhere so that the book becomes a page turner for the reader. I could not put the book down until the end! I highly recommend this book for mystery and contemporary romance readers.  5/5 stars from me MYSTERY, SUSPENSE ROMANCE and available on Amazon.com !
