So I've Been Slacking

So I haven't been by your blog and yeah, I've forsaken you for video crack, but at least I'm honest about it.



Look, how about a dozen roses, okay? Wha? No, don't cry, don't cry. Please, you know how much I hate it when you do that.

I've gotten a little writing done, but unless you were Quin, Dale or Chelene, you wouldn't know that, would you? See, I can cry too and unlike you, I don't need glycerine tears >. P

Hell, I've been writing too, though I only have one completed story to show for it. The problem is the word "completed," it's such a contradiction to a procrastinator such as my self.

I've also been working on my Shelfari page this week, though it isn't where I want it to be.

So I'll be back at your blog this weekend and the days following, just as soon as I reconquer Shi Ting.

Don't Look To The Skies...

...they've already been here for some time.

Um...

...What?


It don't pay bills
Vanity kills
You love you (huh!)

Earthquake Weather

Well, I was supposed to have two stories done, with one to be posted on Cormac Writes and the other's destination was for Powder Burn Flash, if Aldo deemed it worthy enough. But The Missus got all the napping time in last night and I was on "Junior watch" as a result, with not enough sleep to finish my outlines. So I re-posted three of my stories from Powder Burn Flash today, to fill the content level and the reason for that is twofold-

1) Because people were nice enough to link Cormac Writes blog and poor planning on my part is the reason that there was a dearth of new content to keep the interest of new readers.

2) Because if they like those stories, there are plenty more on Powder Burn Flash and not just amateurs such as myself, but authors such as Pearce Hansen and writers that are on the verge of being published.

So go check it out.

By the way, today was unseasonably hot and it still is as I type this post, but the real worry (if you could actually call it that) is the humidity. Because these condition usually signify "earthquake weather," even though this article suggests that there is no such thing.

Of course another article concurs, though...

The temperature had climbed ten degrees from the day before and the humidity had built to a level that many would remember as sultry. As the fans waited in their seats at Candlestick Park some complained that 83 F was hot, especially for October 17, 1989. The lack of wind at Candlestick Park was all the more remarkable since if any kind of breeze was blowing it would make itself felt in the stadium.

To the philosopher Aristotle these conditions were the precursor to a temblor. Geologists had long ago disproved any link between weather and seismic activity but the old concept had hardened into a cliché.

I'll say this; of the one major earthquake in my life and two of the last four rolling quakes, the temperature was unseasonably warm and so was the humidity. Now, certainly we won't have an earthquake tonight, as those past incidents were cases of association and conincidence, and nothing else. I'm just bringing this up as a point of conversation.

Yet, it's not so much as a "the glass is half-empty/half full" proposition, as it that on days like this? I'm not about to touch that glass of water. Not to mention that even though the above sentence is grammatically correct, it is women that are "sultry" and not the weather.

Do You Have The Post Valentine's Day Blues?

Do you have the post-Valentine's Day blues? Well just be thankful that it's not 1929 and that you are stuck working Valentine's in a certain little garage in Chicago, because then you'd really have something to be sad about. Other than telling you to "toughen up, you wussy!" Try reading these stories here or here. With the exception of that Cormac character's drivel, there's not a dog in the bunch. Good solid fiction with enough twists and turns to at least temporarily distract you from your love-related woes.

Oh, and you'll never win her heart with a stuffed emu. So you have no right to be sad because it's all your fault.

Just In Time For The Holidays

Just in time for the holidays, I've posted a story.

This will probably my last post until the 26th so-

Merry Christmas! A Happy Kawanza and though this has already passed, it bares repeating.
Buon Natale!
Mele Kalika Maka!
Feliz Navidad!
Joyeux Noël!
Maligayang Pasko!
Geseënde Kersfees! Sorry if I got that wrong, Angel.

If You Are Bored Out Of Your Skull

If you are bored out of your skull, I posted a new story.

Well, it's not a new story, it's a story that someone chose not to publish a couple of months ago.

Well I wouldn't actually call it a story, it is more like an exercise.

Like I said, if you are bored, ya know?

More Shameless Self-Promotion

Without going into the backstory, I posted a story on the third blog that might have been published somewhere else. At any rate? Enjoy.
