Enrique Pizzaro, Part II
At approximately four o'clock this afternoon, the PIECE OF SHIT who murdered Jason was found guilty and convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 25 years. He should have gotten Murder 2, but whatever. At least the little prick didn't walk.
When he is sentenced next month, family and friends will be allowed to speak on Jason's behalf. I am posting this rant here and now only because this is a completely uncensored version of how I really feel, whereas, if I am allowed to speak in court that day, I may not be able to fully speak my mind.
Which (we can all assume) is probably for the best.
But first, let's revisit what I wrote about the little shit back in November of last year:
I hope that when that fucking DOUCHEBAG gets convicted, they spend the next 25 years ASS-RAPING HIM WITH BROKEN BOTTLES. But first, I hope they shove dirty, shit-and-cum-stained underwear in his mouth to muffle the screams. And then I hope someone videotapes it and posts it on YouTube, so I can upload it to my iPod and laugh my ass off as I watch it over and over and over.
AND OVER.
Ahhhhhhh. It feels good to read that again.
To be fair, I have modified the following rant from an entry many years ago, which I wrote to a generic "Gangsta" I encountered on a train. But, due to my current state of inebriation, this is as good as it's gonna get. And goddammit, it still fits.
Dear Enrique:
You are a WASTE OF LIFE. You are an abortion that should have happened, and that I wish I could have personally performed. You are a useless piece of shit who will spend the rest of your pointless fucking life being utterly and completely UNNECESSARY. You will make someone who tries very hard to do a little bit of good in the world question the very fiber of her being, question her own motives, and probe disturbing corners of her mind so dark she didn't know that they even existed, simply because she dreams of ending your life in a way that you ended her friend's.
And if you keep up your little-boy-angry, pseudo-gangsta ways, I GUARANTEE that one day I will scrape you off the floor at Riker's, bloody and screaming, full of shank holes and gasping for air. And you won't remember me, or how I sat behind you in court every motherfucking day burning holes into the back of your skull as you smirked and fidgeted, and you will ask me to save you. You will beg me, as your life runs away in little red streams that the other inmates watch flow with boredom and disinterest, you will BEG me to save you. And I wonder, when the ambulance doors close and we are alone, what choice will I make then?
I feel ugly. I'm not sure who I am right now. I don't like me. But I know you. Oh yeah buddy, I fucking know you.
You are nothing. You're already dead. It's just a matter of how you check out. And when you die, the world won't give a fuck. Because you're just another piece of trash to be picked up after the party's over and just another mess to be cleaned up after the yellow tape has been torn down. I know you, and you don't scare me. You're just another stain on the sidewalk.
YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER FUCKING STAIN ON THE SIDEWALK.
The jury may not have gotten to see the "badass" tattoo on your neck that says, "Fuck the world." But today, despite that, the world gets to say, "Fuck YOU."
FUCK YOU.

Christmas Special
The end of the year is almost upon us, and the holidays are bearing down like a freight train, so it must be time for a Christmas sale.
From now until the end of the year, I'm offering special discounts on three of the hardcover books offered on the Signed Books page of my website.
The Meisha Merlin trade hardcover of TUF VOYAGING, with a cover by Michael Komarck and interior illustrations by Janet Aulisio, normally sells for $29.
The Bantam Spectra hardcover reissue of WINDHAVEN, my collaboration with Lisa Tuttle, sells for $26 on the website.
And INSIDE STRAIGHT, first volume in Tor's new Wild Cards triad, goes for $27.
You can also get all three of these books for $69.
But those are the normal prices. From now through the end of the year, as a Christmas special, I'm offering each of the hardcovers for $20, or all three for $57.
Those prices include Book Rate (Media Mail) shipping within the United States. If you would prefer Priority Mail, please add $5 for a single book, or $10 for more than one. Overseas and out-of-country shipping is more; please inquire.
And of course I'm always willing to sign and inscribe the books.
Happy holidays, and good reading.
Note from the Assistant's desk:
Please email grrmbooks@gmail.com with questions regarding ordering or international shipping rates.
current mood:  cheerful

Marvelous Miniatures
Just wanted to share some more of the wonderful Ice & Fire miniatures from Dark Sword.
First, some lovely painted versions of Prince Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne, and Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides, dueling for the life of Tyrion Lannister. Tom Meier did the sculpts, and Matt Verzani painted these for the Dark Sword studio collection.
Prince Oberyn:
The Mountain:
The Duel:
Tom is always so exacting about scale and size with his sculpts; I love how this pairing brings home Ser Gregor's monstrous size in such a vivid and visceral way. And of course Matt has done a wonderful job with the paint, as always.
And while Matt's been busy with his brush, Tom has been sculpting up a storm in his studio, and we have some great new greens to add to the range. These aren't in production yet, but look for them soon.
Here's Arya:
And Sansa:
Lady Catelyn:
And a personal favorite, Sansa building her snow castle at the Eyrie:
For more information and pictures, visit the Dark Sword website at http://darkswordminiatures.com/ And remember, miniatures make wonderful stocking stuffers for all the Ice & Fire fans in the family.
current mood: happy

Today, I slept in, forgot my wallet at home, got stuck on hold with Verizon support, paid a huge tuition bill, realized halfway through lunch that my food was moldy, spilled my coffee onto the security guard's computer, sliced my finger on a can of cat food, accidentally embarrassed a coworker, and my brand new computer died horribly and needs to be returned.
On the plus side, a lot of things went right as well, but man, that was more negatives than I'm used to rolling with in one day.
Time to clean the attic. (Or, help Kelly clean the attic, as she made an enormous dent in that mess already.)

Soup Substitution Qs
Has anyone here ever used the low fat cream soups in the crock? How did that work for you?
Also, I live in an area where cheese soup is just unheard of. How do you think substituting some velveeta would work? I think it oughta be all right, but wondering what you all think.

Christmas Ham?
Apparently I, at some point in time, made something involving ham and the crockpot. (I'm fairly sure it was scalloped potatoes and ham...)
Anyways he wants something with cubed ham, preferably a stew (although I'm open to other ideas)that is Christmas(y). I have to work Christmas Eve, from 7am until 3pm, so something that can SLOOOOOW cook is preferable so I can prep as much as possible the night before, and then just slow cook it while I'm at work that day.
Open to all ideas, but would really love a ham stew type recipe. (Nothing to soupy!)
