While I remember, a Little Short Fiction For You

While I know, sci-fi/fantasy isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea, I thought some of you good folks might enjoy a little space adventure short story I published recently on my humor blog.

The tale uses two characters from the humorous space fantasy novel I'm currently working to get published.

Anyway, if you have a minute and are looking for a chuckle, you can check the short story out by clicking here... It's called "The Hyphiz Deltan Job."

I'll be back to decorative and thrifty goodies later in the week. I'm working on a surprise for my friend Josette who will be visiting over Memorial Day. Woo-hoo!!

V (1983 Miniseries) and V (2009 TV series)

I watched the miniseries V in 1983 and enjoyed the story very much, but I was not 100% into it, however I did like the idea and execution of the story, but I have never been a big fan of aliens that come to conquer the Earth unless there are good aliens to help us poor humans defend against them, ha!
I do like the new television series or as they say, re-imaged version of V, because I like the main actors, the story is still good, and the special effects very interesting. I am glad they are making a second season of the show because so often science fiction gets axed very quickly without giving the story and actors time to get into a rhythm. I suggest giving the show a try, it is good and here is a cool clip from the show.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

I usually muse about science fiction subjects, but I came across the film entitled Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and was entranced by this unusual and horrific story. The movie was made in 2006 but is based on a German novel written in 1985 by Patrick Suskind.
The story is set in 18th century France and shows us the deplorable living conditions of that time and focuses on Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the antihero of the story. The journey of his birth to his death describes his super human ability to smell and his eventual obsession to make the most magical perfume in the world, a perfume that could control humanity. However, the way he goes about making this perfume is beyond comprehension and not what you would expect.
If you have not seen this movie, in my opinion, it is a must see because the acting is beyond excellent, the music outstanding, and the cinematography fantastic.
