Overly Ambitious in 2007

Maybe you've noticed, most likely you haven't, but I've been too busy to update lately. I have made some decisions about this site and I promise to be making some drastic changes in the near future. You can definitely read that as "coming in 2007." Things to look for:

- A new running story, Aeronausiphobia
- The triumphant return of Story Time with Twisted Jim
- Jim's New Song podcast
- One act plays by Tyson and Jim at The Brick
- The release of The Last Alien
- The 2007 Bedlam City Film Festival
- The release of Bar Codes and Bloodstains
- Rock Fathers: The Musician's Guide to Living in the Wasteland

So, now the fun begins. Make sure to get in on the pool to see how many of these projects actually happen in 2007. The winner will get a free Twistedjim.com t-shirt.

The Obligatory Annual Holiday Letter

Okay, I can't say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas anymore. So... how about... uh... ah, screw it! It's entirely too much work not to offend you people. Have a super Another-reason-to-get-you-a-worthless-present Day! I doubt you'll hear that from the store clerk.

The Twistedjim family has undergone a few changes this year. Most of the contributors are missing in action due to a server hostage situation that couldn't be avoided. I see them every now and again. They are fine... except for the PTSD shakes. Tyson confused a small group of people at The Brick with his Stinky Cheese Man puppet show. Scott has "retreated into his art," otherwise known as a severe drinking problem. Dave keeps antagonizing me offline. And Twisted Sis is a mother of three that has very little time for anything other than being a mother of three. Casper is back from his year off, but he refuses to contribute to this project anymore.

As for me, Twisted Wife and I added another mouth at the table. Fortunately, Twisted Son is cute. So, I guess we'll feed him. The original Twisted Manor was sold, demons and all, and Twisted Manor II has been refitted with a Twisted Jim lair. We almost bought a mold-ridden shithole to be TMII, but we found all the problems and discovered the guy selling it was a theif just minutes before closing. So, we dodged a bullet. You would think all this excitement would inspire me to finish some books, but you'd be wrong.

All in all, 2006 was 2005 II: Revenge of the Suck. Honestly, I'm too tired to complain about it anymore. I've bitched and moaned. Now, it's time for action. Supposedly, it speaks louder than words. We'll see.

xxxooo,
Twisted

Twistedjim: Low on Holiday Cheer

I've read 1 in 3 people are upset when a store clerk says, "Happy Holidays," and 1 in 3 people are upset when a clerk says, "Merry Christmas." I'm with the 1 in 3 people that hope the other two get all their gifts stolen in the parking lot right after they've complained about someone wishing them well.

No doubt I just made the naughty list.
