David Tennant is going to do an hour long pilot here in the States.

The name of the show he has landed is called Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.

I have never been more proud of the American Television Industry.

I am NOT kidding

It’s Election Night.

There are important issues at stake.

My friends have been working hard to turn out the vote, to make a difference.

And to honor their efforts I’d like to dedicate my all time favorite David Tennant Photo to them.

I know.

I’m a total giver:

Yep.

I’m back.

Let the deep thinking and serious writing begin.

If you figure out where that’s happening, let me know.

I want to know how to do that kind of stuff.

The man who brought you

An American Werewolf in London

is going to bring you

David ” Doctor Who Tennant ” Who as

William Hare.

Hare, in case you are not aware of it, was the other half of team Burke and Hare- and back in the day they were a couple of serial killers who found a very novel way of covering up their crimes.

They sold the evidence to a Medical College and the Medical College in turn used the corpses for dissection.

I know, I know, the story goes that Burke and Hare killed all of those people for the money.

But nobody does what Burke and Hare did for money, they did it because they liked it.

So that’s the story of Burke and Hare according to me.

According to John Landis the story of Burke and Hare

is a comedy / thriller.

in this youtube clip at about 10 minutes in Landis confirms David Tennants role in his upcoming film

Well, you know I guess that’s not to far away from the reality of the situation.

I can find something funny in the story of Burke and Hare.

After Burke was hung, they put his skeleton, death mask and items made from his tanned skin on display at the same college that was duped into helping him cover up his crimes ( Hell hath no furry like an College scorned )

And Hare disappeared without a trace.

I learned this from CSI- the TV Show- nobody disappears without a trace.

It’s just that there’s no telling where that trace will turn up.

The possibilities are dark, endless and dare I say

amusing.

Hi.

Sorry I’m not writing here at the moment.

I’m working on my Halloween Stories and other fun and spooky stuff on a daily basis over at my Owl Creek Blog.

I haven’t done that for a couple of years.

It feels great to be writing my Weird Tales again.

See you in November.

Remember when cameras used flash bulbs and when you only had to wait a day to get your pictures developed?

Those were some wild times alright.

This is a Fire Escape Sign.

It is made out of paper.

 Yes really.

Do you want to know what the number one click on my Stat Page

was for the entire year?

I’m shocked.

 before you ask- yes this is a true story

a.m.

There is a Crows Nest above my door at work.

The nest is about four years old and in those four years a family of Crows takes it over.

Let me ask you a question:

Do you know what happens when you get to close too close to their nest?

Let’s just say that Crows do not make good neighbors.

However, as I rule I don’t use this door because it’s the door that freight goes in and out of and opening it is a hassle. I use the side door which is right next to it.

Besides the obvious reasons for not wanting to bother the Crow Family I had other reasons for using the side door…

On some days I would stand next to the side door and watch the Crows dive bomb cars and people who went by their nest- okay, I’ll probably pay a price for this but I think it’s funny. After all, how many times do you need to have a crow try to body slam you or take the top of your head off before it occurs to you that you MIGHT be in the wrong place?

So one day in the middle of a particularly heated attack I look up and sitting on the door lentil above my head

is

A Crow.

It looked down at me, I looked up at it and I turned my head so that it could see me wink.

To this day we keep an eye on each other-

we seem to have something in common:

a very strange sense of humor.
