Running out of excuses



As much as I don't like to drone on about the weather, that does give me some very reasonable ways out of getting my exercise. See, I hate exercising for the sake of exercise. Spending so much time and effort to basically go in a circle or nowhere at all grates on me. I like to walk outside, but can't really do that when the outside is covered in snow and ice. Well, along comes the most recent thaw. I can actually see the grass now, so that means I'll have to venture out sometime soon. With all the editing I've been doing, it is pretty good to stretch my legs. Plus, there's a taco place and Chicago hot dog restaurant within walking distance. I figure walking there, eating and walking back is a push. There's also a Subway, but I'm not about to let Jared from those commercials tell me what to do!



Guess I'll just go out and wander. Or maybe I'll crack open the Wii Fit again. While I'm at it, maybe I'll fire up the XBox. Ooo!! Call of Duty beckons. Does making my heavy machine gunner sprint count as exercise? Close enough.

This is what happens without editors

I'm Marcus Pelegrimas, author of the SKINNERS series. Here you'll find various ramblings about movies, video games, TV, and...oh yeah...those books I write. If there's anything you'd like to discuss, just let me know. I try to update whenever the mood strikes me, so feel free to leave comments. There may be some occasional foul language, but anyone who's too easily offended probably doesn't read my stuff anyway.

Free Stuff

Here's how it goes. As usual, I've got my truckload of promo covers from EOS Books. I'll be going to some conventions, so I hope to see you there and I'll gladly sign your books. If you can't make it to a con, just email me your name, address and any inscription so I can send you a signed cover.


BONUS ---> If you would be so kind as to write up a review for any or all Skinners books and publish it on a site like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders, or any other major review site, I can send you something extra. I made up some bookmarks (which I'll sign) and I've even put together some Shimmy's VIP passes (which I'll also sign). Can't guarantee the passes will get you into a real strip club, but I think they look pretty cool. Send me a link to your review along with your name, address and inscription, and I'll get these out to you as well.
