Dragons, Writing and a Book Recommendation

Last night Chickie and I braved the cold and huge piles of shoveled snow in the Cinema parking lot that made it look like spaghetti on a plate if we had an aerial view, to go see "How to Train Your Dragon 3". After getting our popcorn (free) and hot dogs ($2 hot dog night) we settled down at a small table while waiting for our theater to be cleaned and readied for the next show. We entered, found our seats, got comfy, the lights dimmed and we were once again sucked into the world of Hiccup, Toothless and dragons, dragons and more dragons. 



OMG, I love these films so much. This is the final film in the
trilogy, and I was afraid they wouldn't do it justice. I was
wrong. It was fabulous and winds up just the way it should. 



It took a short time, but I was immersed in the story and its familiar characters so quickly. Once again I was hanging on each decision, wowed with each flight, and touched by the trust between a man and his dragon/best friend. This one actually had me tearing up near the end, and I can't wait to buy the DVD and binge-watch all three of them one crazy Sunday afternoon. It might be a few years out, but I'm SO there. 



"The Secret Life of Pets 2" take our two doggie heroes
out to the farm - a whole new environment for our
two city dogs to get used to. I'm ABSOLUTELY seeing
this one on the big screen with Chickie. 



Among the previews was "The Secret Life of Pets, 2". LOVED the preview. Harrison Ford is now voicing a dog character and he's perfect for it. Chickie and I are already planning to see that when it comes out this summer. 



I don't think the elves will ever be wearing
Dom/Sub puzzle piece necklaces, but
a collar down the line might not be
impossible. 



Yesterday's B2MeM story allowed me to indulge and write some M/M kink - very soft for this one, but it was followed up by today's number that puts me right back into the "playroom". I won't have a chance to write today's story until later, and I have a 2:00 pm appointment across town that's chomping a huge hole in my day, but I think today will be short, sweet, and a continuation of yesterday's story. If I get a lot more of Card 136 prompts, it might be possible to put a nice scene together for my elves. That would be a lot of fun to write. 



I've been waiting for this one to be released. I can
hardly wait to finish my current book and dive
into it. 



So, that's all for today. I'm hitting the ground running. As a recommendation, Rhys Ford's "Kai Gracen series had book 3 released yesterday. The books are "Black Dog Blues", "Mad Lizard Mambo" and now, "Jacked Cat Jive". It's an alternative dystopian  reality based in a radically changed San Diego with feral animals, powerful cars, an elven Lord, and one half-sidhe bounty hunter. I love the series, and it's also available as a trade paperback, so if you're not reading e-books, check your local bookstore.  ......  And .. I'm off. Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow.
