@Hulu.com, I've just found the premier episode of Space:1999 with Martin Landau and Barbara Bane.  This show was made in the late 1970s about an event tht was supposed to have occurred back when 's been a week since my Goddaughter was three months old.    She is now about to get her Learners' Permit, and the-fiction showf I'm watching is The ( Read more... )

True to tradition, Talmare Gordon Wake, the author persona, went on holiday this week until early August.  I can therefore expect not to get any writing done, as if there was anything working right now. Some would call this a writer's block. I call it a  fallow time. The weather remains acceptable for July, but I still  keep to the protocol of : ( Read more... )

Ever since I was a kid, the week up to Labour Day has been significant to me. I always gain or lose something important; a new job comes in, or a roommate leaves one way or another.  Or I almost die, like that onset of heat stroke in 1973.

This time I suffered two malfunctions, one technical, one physical.  Wednesdsay, I was ready to publish The ( Read more... )

As of this date, I am sick and tired of the phrase "game-changer". Suddenly everybody's using it; politicians, sports announcers, phone campaigns from Mayor DeBlasio's universal pre-k campaign, even TV commercials. I blame its over-usage on Torchwood's Capt. Jack Harkness: "The Future is when everything changes." But now that it is (relatively) The ( Read more... )

#Yal Dawo:

J’mus D’al (n.) (n.) radio; i.e., the medium;

J’mus Na (n.) a radio transceiver;
j'muss’e (v.) to transmit by radio: I could drop an entire article here about the problematic evolution of Sartine telecommunications due to the radio-signal-scattering nature of the gravity-defiant element Ceverabin but that would be a major sidetrack. What I ( Read more... )

Now that Telly has come back from holiday, I celebrate the end of a beastly hot Mercury Retrograde, which ends at 2:22 PM! Go away, Retrograde, and take this fracking heat wave with you ( Read more... )

In the Yal Dawo language, Doma means Good-bye {from Domod'éä (n.) a farewell}.

This linguistic pun is delivered in celebration of the Supreme Court striking down the Defence of Marriage Act. This just so happens to have been announced at the onset of a Mercury Retrograde, which will screw up communications until July 20th, a day that ought to be ( Read more... )
