My Brain Hurts

[lydamorehouse]

My brain hurts from trying to come up with new "Dead..." book titles. All I can say is thank God(dess) I have creative friends and partners. I put up a request for ideas help on Facebook and got great responses. Susan Harris came up with "Dead If I Do," and now I can thank my friend Bill Stitlter for "Dead Over Heels." And, of course, Mr. Sean M. Murphy for "Dead on Arousal," but I still need one more... any ideas out there?

In other non-Tate news, my life continues apace. Mason is off school for three weeks for Spring intersession. Luckily, he's currently obsessing on video games, so I can still get a bit of work done. It looks like today might be rainy, but otherwise we might go out into the garden to putz around and get everything ready. I'm currently in the waiting-for-the-check-to-arrive phase, and one of the many things I'd like to spend part of it on is flowers for the gardens. There is, as always, a big bare spot on the hill out front where something (hosta?) died over the winter. Huge sections of grass didn't coming in again... and this year my solution is weeds. I'm purposely planting agriculture grade clover. I figure between that and the creeping charlie, maybe I'll have "grass" that will survive deep shade and tough winters.

I got a date tonight to see "Wolverine," despite lukewarm reviews. Okay, I only read the one in "Entertainment Weekly," which actually complains of too much action. Is that possible in a Marvel film??? I guess I'll find out tonight.

Anyway, I hope you all are well. I have more (positive!) fish news, but I'll save that for another day. Also, if anyone out there wants to win a copy of Tate's latest, you can check out an interview I'm giving tomorrow at Bitten By Books.

See ya on the flipside!

The inevitable suggestions...

Maybe not appropriate for Tate, but still kinda fun:

Undead Teenage Mothers
Early to Dead, Early to Rise
Death Warmed Over
A Date Worse than Death

[seawasp]

I presume Dead Air, Dead Zone, Dead of Night, and so on are already taken or unusable, as are probably all of the following, but here goes:

Dead on His/Her Feet, Dead in the Water, Dead Time, Dead Alert, Lady in Dead, Devil in the Dead Dress, Dead Men Tell No Tales, Dead Tired, All Judgment Dead...

Dead, the Hosta

[dorianhaqmoun.livejournal.com]

I like Dead Over Heels.
My brain is emptier than a Pharaonic tomb after the grave robbers. Married? Dead and married alive? Lame :-(
Get a new hosta, they are so beautiful (and the snails love'em).
