THE TITLE IS: WALRUS ON THE WALL DATING A BLOWFISH

Responding to a comment left by Katie. 1974 was the working title of a book I wrote the 1st draft of a couple years ago. It’s been on my mind of late as I think about what will be the book I will be working on after Stereo is finished.

Just finished reading Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl and I will start back reading Doctor Who: The Burning which I stared months ago but got sidetracked by other books and writing work. Then after visiting Doctor Who for a while maybe I will see if I can find Boy Toy by the same writer as Fanboy and Goth Girl and set in the same school; which would be cool reading it and hoping they mention the lead characters from book one because I liked the book but thought it ended really suddenly.

Now lets close some windows:
Bookstore chain puts the screws on small publishers
I remember someone once told in Vancouver when speaking about small versus large production companies that you put the screws to those you can because someone is probably putting them to you also. Which is complete bullshit but I thought I would share.

Some interesting interviews with some very talented people here,here, andhere.

Hindu prayer in Senate
How come when I find something like this I think it must be an internet hoax thing? Maybe I want to think we are not this much of a fucking asshole filled country that would let our elected politicians get away with stuff like this? I don’t know…..

TARDIS USB Hub. I want one. But what are they used for?... Just kidding….Robbin told me!

Research is fun. Organizing what I find on the other hand is work. Finding out that you have just read a book for research and will only use about a sentence worth of information from is sort of frustrating if I think about it too much…Which I don’t think I will.

THE TITLE IS: FINDING TIME FOR FINDING THE STORY

I’m still working away on the 2nd Draft of STEREO when I find time at work and at home. Though for the most part the only time I find a chance to work on it is during brakes at the pay the rent. I have been adding new chapters that just need to be there while also filling holes which had me saying, "How could I not have noticed that before." Once I get all the stuff from the editor’s notes and those from myself after reading the edited 1st Draft worked into the story I will be ready to move onto the next step on this draft. After I get all of that washed all clean I'm going to go back and dirty it all up again working on the dialogue in an attempt to give each of the characters their own voice. Some do already but others really sound too bland.

THE TITLE IS: FOR

For the ones who sit in a prison cell,
They who have sin but are waiting an end,
You give them mercy through a daily Hell,
Now come to your conclusions of opinion and sit in there,
Beside the tears running down a lonely face,
Come up and ride your horse and they are still right there,

For the ones pushed from locker to locker,
They just move through the halls whispering,
And you read and wonder what caused this much hate,
Now come to your conclusions of opinion and sit in there,
Beside the tears running down a lonely face,

For the natures of us all,
Bottle up all your falsehoods,
Take all your bibles and burn them on a high hill,
Warm the depths of all of our hearts at once,
This is all we have,

For the family at its last penny and stealing will feed small mouths,
They are the example of life,
You preach about dealing with what life gives you,
I give you my hate,

For the natures of us all,
Bottle up all your falsehoods,
Take all your bibles and burn them on a high hill,
Warm the depths of all of our hearts at once,
This is all we have,

For the women who asks,
Why is my rape just a part of my life,
Why do I wish you dead?
Why do I wish you dead?
Why do I wish you dead?

For the natures of us all,
Warm the depths all at once,
To the eternity of hanging our heads,
No mercy around here,

THE TITLE IS: AT WILL IS THE NAME OF THE WORD....THE WORD IS AAAAAAAAAAAAHA

I will start by responding to some comments left here. Oh, and just so people know because someone asked me in an e-mail about if I respond to all comments? The answer to “all” is No. And this is because some comments do not warrant responses by their nature. If you ask me a question I will respond here or by e-mail if you would prefer that. To people who I know and have their e-mail addy I usually respond that way. Then throw in the factor that I’m pretty scatter brained sometimes and forget to respond to something all together and if this happens with you e-mail me or comment again. Keeps me in line.

Now to responses to comments left:
Katie,
I enjoyed the last Harry Potter book it seems more than most people I have talked to and I also did not mind the sappy ending all that much. I think she did that sort of to seal the deal on the series so to speak. I do think this one will actually make a better movie because they will have to scale it back and that will help this one when it hurt some of the others.
As to my current reading. I have enjoyed it so far and would recommend it just off what I have read at this point. The comic references may go too over some people’s heads but I think with a little thinking you can get by that part of the way the story is being told.

Lets close some windows:
quick-draw cell phone
The first thing I thought when seeing this was Spiderman’s web shooters.

Galaxies clash in four-way
And if that doesn’t get your science rocks off, I don’t know what will.

Image Founders reunion
Interesting being that I was one of the people that spent a lot of money on some of the shitty books they put out in the beginning. My favorite books from the original image group are Savage Dragon and Wildcats. Never knew what the big deal with Spawn was…Still don’t? But today I believe Image puts out a lot of quality books every month and is great. Though, that would not have been my view a few years ago.

microorganisms
THEIR ALIVE! THEIR ALIVE!

Library Thing
Kind of cool but couldn’t you just do this yourself with Excel or a web publishing program?

70% larger than Jupiter.
Now that is one healthy size planet.

Living Dead Girlz
Found at Warren Ellis’s blog. I really shouldn’t go to his blog late at night. I ended up having the weirdest dream about this and No I’m not going to share.

Top 25 Cliffhangers of all time
Most of these are good but putting anything to do with Lost on there….I just don’t get the appeal of that show at all. Sorry, talented people work on it but I just don’t get it. Feel the same about 24. Too much gimmick for me puts blinders on I think.

THE TITLE IS: HARRY AND THE GOTH GIRL NOTICE

Finished reading the last Harry Potter book last night and even though many around me are saying they did not like it because of many reasons, I did enjoy the book. I agree it is not the best of the books and maybe the least of over all quality but endings very seldom live up to their hype. It dragged for most of it in my opinion and she tried so hard to do so much with the last book but the last five or so chapters made up for it. I found I was right about a number of things I guessed after Half-Blood Prince and look forward to the next place this writer chooses to explore.

Now I’m starting THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF FANBOY AND GOTH GIRL by Barry Lyga. Hey, with a title like that it deserved to be in all caps. I already see a lot of comic geekdom references in it but lets see if it is more than that. Oh, and I’m the Court Jester of that ‘dom by the way.
