So, admittedly, the limit of my understanding about Rush Limbaugh [besides that he makes me embarrassed for having a character named Rush, though mine is named more after videogames] was that he's a huge windbag with a radio show.

Apparently, he thinks it's funny to say the dumbest shit that comes to mind and call it absurdity. Like, Freakazoid!, ( Read more... )

[Grammar Nazi]I am proofing and have written my latest stories in fixed-width fonts, the former because that's what was given to me, the latter because submitting in TXT format [of the requested formats] is almost 100% guaranteed to be readable regardless of viewer used. I've also gone back and looked at my printed books with this spacing ( Read more... )

I can only reason that I get a creative burst of energy at 3:16a--instead of, oh, 3:16p--is that light levels are regulated after dark [the main reason I could stay awake for a full eight-hour shift in an office with no windows ( Read more... )

I had heard--perhaps through Paul Harvey, since that was where a lot of random "origin" stories I'd heard came from--that DST was started as a bet to see if they [the bettors] could get people to do something just because they said to do it.

I'd been thinking about telling something to certain of my friends, but I have no idea how they will take the comment.

I do, as has been noted, talk at length about things I have yet to do, but because I have been pushed in more recent years to plan ahead.* If I talk at length about a book that never materializes, a lot of it is from trying to do the job right the first time, rather than having an aborted effort after starting, like how Inverloch is regretfully not ( Read more... )

I seem to have double-click finger, as no matter how I try to single-click, it often double-clicks when I don't want it to do it [even with the pen tablet!]. It's rather obnoxious, considering how they're two different functions entirely.

Especially since Char opted to see Journeyman rather than join his folks for a viewing of The Golden Compass, ( Read more... )

You'll note I haven't yet reported fully on weekend hijinks. That was Intended Post Pt. II, but it ended up being Whole Other Day's Post. At any rate, unlike the general fiasco that was Japan, I don't look forward to and may not be prepared for a revisit ( Read more... )
