#DexterNotes The victims are bound by plastic wrap. But so is he in his kill room, from ceiling to floor. They are in this thing together.

#DexterNotes I remember the 1st time I watched this, I kept wondering why Dexter didn’t kill his dad. Threat is subtle in the flashbacks.
#DexterNotes Rita works in hotel management, but she doesn’t know how to complain to her own neighbor to shush the dog’s noise? Hmm.
#DexterNotes “Love, American Style” ep. jumps the shark when Dex uses candles to lead Coyote to the van. But candles fit: symbol of romance.
#DexterNotes The “Coyote” couple exchanges a vow, a lesson, before Dex goes for the kill. They’re literally “bound” in plastic matrimony.

@MikeMehalek That’s probably the strangest and most crust-warming +K scenario I’ve seen yet. But it’s so true: I can’t stop lovin’ pizza.
@Zoe_E_W That’s hilarious, Zoe! Anytime you can make Drill Sergeant whimper, an angel gets its Airborne wings.
@Gabino_Iglesias Great! It’s like the big book of little things… so much going on in there I bet it’s a challenge to review. So thank you!
@HorrorScott @syrrann “Edit the damned meme.” LOL!
#DexterNotes Rita as Tomb Raider? As understandable and as unbelievable as Dexter in law enforcement. It’s all about disguises and desire.
#DexterNotes Dex v. Doakes youtu.be/qx7fX0c5pMM “Why, in a building full of cops…is Doakes the only one that gets the creeps from me?”
@syrrann posted a funny graphic in our #SHUWPF chat last nite. I p-shopped it and posted this one in reply. #badteacher pic.twitter.com/s0BNb41s
@Gabino_Iglesias @RDSPress Nice interview with @bizarroguy in @blackheartmag!
True story-> I tried to catch a mouse inside a plastic cup today. Not quick enough. The rim killed it. This also killed my cup.
@shadowflame1974 Take notes. Keep writing forward as if you’d done it. You can always go back later…getting to the end is harder.
@PaulaCKirk No, YOU rock! Thanks for checking out the full tweet-o-rama and laughing right along with me.
The opposite of #writeordie: writtenkitten.net Awww…kitties. They should be lolcats or werecats or saber toothed murderers, though.
#DexterNotes An opposition of blood brothers. Dexter = fluid, the splatter, the slide. Ice Truck Killer = solid, the empty vessel, the ice.
@laura_aw Thanks for the tweet about The Gorelets Omnibus! Your grin is contagious, because now I’m grinning too. Peculiar, indeed! Grazia!
Get books from @CemeteryDance. Top drawer authors, great special offers, fantastic production quality — a #horror genre leader for years.

#DexterNotes We root for a killer not because he is a vigilante, but because his voice is in our heads, translating all events. Dex is Us.
#DexterNotes The opening credit theme: Alfred Hitchcock Presents meets Miami Salsa. Brilliant work @RolfeKent rolfekent.com/music/dexter/
@Rocket_Pixie Hrm. It’s not letting me DM you. Msg went public but I’ve deleted it. Ah well. Twitter has a dark passenger.
@Rocket_Pixie I can say I’m appreciating Deb much more 2nd time around. Her incessant cursing might be a psychological “tell”. #DexterNotes
@uncannyvalley I’m totally with you. Gonna study Dexter ep. 1-5 over the next few weeks, then the latest, which will be new for me.
@bkethridge YES. Good writing stands up over the years…though the car models are reminding me how many years have passed. #DexterNotes
@Rocket_Pixie No spoil, no spoil! I am ramping up to the latest season which I haven’t seen yet! (I bet I know what Deb confesses though!)
Thx @MechellexLynn! Dex will be a fun run (prbly take me a month to do the series) but @NicolePeeler’s media livetweets are always the best.
#DexterNotes Slow down and look in an extreme closeup - you’ll see the violence inherent in everyday life. Even breakfast is brutal.
#DexterNotes The first kill is always like losing virginity: awkward, comical, determined, sloppy, traumatic, out of control.
#DexterNotes When a cop character says “Catch you later” it means more than it seems and is subtle foreshadowing.
I’ve started re-watching the complete series of @SHO_Dexter. Will begin sharing reflections/lessons here with the tag #DexterNotes

@ewazoo23 … maybe their proverbial “lightbeam” only reaches so far. But it’s still a valid navigational system. Even so - good article!
@ewazoo23 Nice essay but that quote has me puzzled. Authors are lighthouses in a sea of the infinite, not “scalable” providers of content.

@davidbainaa That’s impressive! Now get off twitter and call amazon immediately, or you’re going to be suffering w/o for a few days.
@CDennisMoore @davidbainaa :-)
@MikeArnzen @davidbainaa But I bought a new one anyway. It’s a necessary tool of the trade, don’t you think?

@grammarissa @g_so @BleedingChrome Exactly! have doubt that they can read a recipe book if they spell things “Fil-A” or “Stuft”.
Never trust a restaurant that can’t properly spell the items it serves. Especially if the error appears on a sign or even their brand name!
