<description> 	 	 	   &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;I was bringing The Eldest Child to guitar lessons at nine this morning, but about half-an-hour before we left the house:&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;Eldest Child: I think it&#x27;s time to leave, but you&#x27;re not going &#x3C;i&#x3E;that&#x3C;/i&#x3E; way, are you Dad?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;Me: That way?

What&#x27;s wrong? What&#x27;s wrong with my t-shirt and shorts?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;Eldest Child (to The Wife): Mooommm! I can&#x27;t make him change his clothes! Make him change his clothes!&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;Me: What?! What?!

I want to wear this (and I pointed to my extra large t-shirt, loose shorts, and sandals).&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;The Wife: Your shorts and shirt look old already.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;margin-bottom: 0cm;&#x22;&#x3E;Me: They&#x27;re comfortable! I don&#x27;t have any newer pair of shorts!

<title>D.O.A.: Extreme Horror Collection Review On Horrornews.net</title>
<link>http://pgenrestories.multiply.com/journal/item/1833/D.O.A._Extreme_Horror_Collection_Review_On_Horrornews.net</link>
<description>  Here&#x27;s &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://horrornews.net/49536/book-review-d-o-a-extreme-horror-collection-editors-david-b-hayes-and-jack-burton/&#x22;&#x3E;a review of D.O.A.: Extreme Horror Collection&#x3C;/a&#x3E; by &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://bloodboundbooks.net/bloodboundbooks/&#x22;&#x3E;Blood Bound Books&#x3C;/a&#x3E; over at &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://www.horrornews.net&#x22;&#x3E;Horrornews.net&#x3C;/a&#x3E; by Anton Cancre. My story, &#x22;Cherry Clubbing&#x22;, is in this anthology. An excerpt: &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x22;...it does have some pretty damn entertaining yarns held within. &#x3C;p style=&#x22;font-style: italic;&#x22;&#x3E;I expected Edward R. Rosick&#x2019;s &#x201C;Cold Air&#x201D; to be a cheap rip off of  Lovecraft&#x2019;s &#x201C;Cool Air&#x201D; but instead found an interesting take on the  vampire mythos wherein it isn&#x2019;t so much that the blood is the life as  the sexual organs. Kinda makes you wonder if eternal life would be worth  the necrophilia. Opener &#x201C;Cherry Clubbing,&#x201D; by Kenneth Yu managed to get  past the rather forced feeling second person perspective to deal with  the underground markets that would inevitably arise if the creatures of  fable and religion were found to be real in a way that caught me a bit  off guard. Also, Tonia Brown did some neat things with the Sin Eater  mythos in the course of &#x201C;Sickened&#x201D;.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; However, special notice needs to go to Chad Mckee&#x2019;s &#x201C;Cena&#x201D; and JW  Schnaar&#x2019;s &#x201C;...</description>
