Funny, I find myself unable to articulate my thoughts on FB when it comes to stuff like Memorial Day. I live in a military town, and have quite a few ppl on my friends list that I fear would take what I say amiss. Anything other than the usual "tow the politically correct line" comments about days like today are not something I'm comfortable in ( Read more... )

Seems like forever since the last time I posted in here. Mostly there hasn't been anything new, exciting or frustrating going on in my life. In some ways that's good, but in many ways it's bad, too. It struck me not too long ago that's the bad thing about getting older; the sense of wonder and discovery slowly ebbs away and it gets harder and ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here tonight, trying to write, but I'm horribly distracted. I hate being distracted, particularly when it's about things I don't like and can't control. You know I do my best not to obsess over other people's opinions, but sometimes it's almost impossible not to.

Tonight, it's the Cordoba House. If you're not familiar with it, you can ( Read more... )

So apparently my thyroid hates me and has decided to go on permanent strike. This sucks, since it means I'll be stuck taking artificial hormones for the rest of my life. Then again, when I looked at the list of symptoms on the handout my doc gave me today for hypothyroidism, I was like, "Holy shit - I have all but two of these!" So if it makes a ( Read more... )

I'm very excited! A friend of mine at work has a friend of a friend that runs a magazine that publishes fantasy/sci-fi/horror short fiction and passed me along to do some name dropping. Obviously, that doesn't mean jack shit if I don't get something written, but still - squee! I actually have part of a story begun that I was planning on using at PS ( Read more... )

The complete fucking bastard wins.

Figures.

Time to embrace my inner jackass!

It's come down to Cass or Lucy. Sounds like they should be some 60s folk group.

I guess it's more: do I want aggressive now, or aggressive later? Cass will always be aggro, but Lucy won't be right away.

Suppose I am in a rather 60s mindset, now that I think about it. Hmm....
