ET Phone Home
Last week I felt like the mother in the commercial, where her
son shows her a good report card, and she starts to cry. My son
is growing up. He pulled up his grades. I wish he could do the
same for his pants, but one thing at a time.

WORD COUNT: 609
While I was sitting quietly in my throne room this morning at my Palace on Dallas in beautiful downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (a quaint, quirky colonial outpost right smack dab on the San Andreas fault line), my mind began to wander and ponder.
Of course when you’re waiting for “big things” to happen or, ...patiently standing on one foot for your ship to arrive at the bus station, or heaven forbid ...lollygagging about because Godot hasn’t turned up yet to give you a reason for being -- something odd is bound to happen. Don’t ask me why, it just does.
Which brings me to the random topic of “things that go bump in the night” (TTGBIT). Not being the quivering or querulous sort, I decided to inquire further into the wonderful world of TTGBIT.
However, when I typed www.things-that-go-bump-in-the-night.com into my web browser, I landed on something called “bravepages”. Expecting to meet Robin Hood, the Red Dwarf or maybe my favorite white-haired classic TV-Western film star, Hop-a-long Cassidy and his colleague “The Cisco Kid”, to my dismay I received a rather strange invitation to sign up for a free website -- not quite what I was expecting, -- but nevertheless an “awesome” experience, as the younger generation would say.
Ever the inquisitive type, I now have only 42,300 websites to wade through according to the folks at www.google.com/. What a perfect project for the “Empress of Everything” to undertake instead of the usual royal duties ...you know, proffering pithyless proclamations, knighting every knave in the realm, or taking the wretched Corgis for a walk.
So, in case you’re wondering about some of the stuff that popped up under the category “things that go bump in the night”, here are a few:
· Aliens, witches, and other creatures lurking around every corner
· The worry zone
· An audio accessory available from bigfishstudio.com
· A ring tone for
Nokia/Samsung mobile phones
· Misplaced watchdog timers and unexplained error codes
· A drinking story and other campfire delights
· Ominous looking weather
· Name of a badass chick net community
· Humorous historical romance novel
· Herds of children running through the house
· Name of a hard metal rock band
· Spooky Halloween screen saver
· The reason behind a daily devotional
· A fantasy and science fiction convention – the key to three women’s destinies
· An American-made circa 1989 detective film/crime thriller
· A technology solution for an MS practitioner
· The subject of a Unitarian Church sermon
· Name of a children’s horror book
· A special lodging package including a Horse-Drawn Wagon ride
· A discount store news item featuring a crypt
· Strange sound made by a barbecue grill right outside my computer room window
· Name of a Paranormal Database Record, and more engaging than the faceless “404” messenger
· The Vampire Support page
· A Tasmanian Forestry feature
· An exploration of Grey and Gothic literature (UBC)
· Noisy nooky-makers
· Name of a CD music sampler ... better than “Ho-Hum”
· Contents of a Scottish Prayer “When the Whole Earth was Overrun with Ghosts”
· What “beast” (big thing) do you want to study or evaluate, and why?
· Raw sockets, Neohapsis and NTBugtraq

About the Author
Victoria Elizabeth, “Quipping Queen & Empress of Everything” lives in Victoria, B.C. Canada. Besides issuing potty proclamations from her virtual throne room at www.quippingqueen.blogspot.com, HRH adores receiving greetings at: quippingqueen@yahoo.com. When not busy with royal duties, she earns her bread and peanut butter as a “business development consultant” (sounds a like a lot of ballyhoo and bafflegab to me).
