Weekly Wrap Up!

Well - I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkK!     I want to thank everyone for their well wishes while I was in the hospital. I'm home now, and loving that part, but still isolated to the bedroom because of immuno-suppression. Right now, physically I feel great, but as my sister's cells finish grafting and producing new blood cells, especially white ones, I have to keep isolated and constantly washing hands, being careful, etc. But on the good side, I have my laptop, and can f

Damn, Damn, Damn. I really need a change of luck.

Until a half hour ago I was excited. I was going back to work on Monday. I was able to get out of bed and move without needing the cane every moment. I wasn't feeling too bad.   Okay I had been given a few knocks since I this began last Wednesday. I was diagnosed as a diabetic. I lost five pounds this week, taking my total to over thirty pounds. I still had a job. I was feeling better, nearly normal.   Okay then all that sort of ended. My doctor called. I suppose I should back up a bit.

Going HOME!

Doctor just came through, expressed concerns on what extra to be careful of, but said I can go. So probably 1:30-2pm today :-)

Supreme Court: Thoughts on gay marriage and DOMA

It looks like a split decision based on what I am reading and interpreting from the transcript.   1st. Based on what is in front of the Supreme Court, I don't know if I'd overturn Proposition 8. The argument are meaningful and very honestly argued, carry a very deep problem to the concept of laws and observations in the traditional constitutionalist's concept. Proposition 8 was decided by California voters through plurality against gay marriage without legally breaking up "Civil commitments" o

Easter Update

So, one day left until Spring Break begins!   I'm excited about it and yet not at the same time, because it's not going to be much of a vacation. First, there's all the grading I have to do, then there's my beginning teacher portfolio to put together, plus all the moving stuff, and then getting ready for my trip to the job fair in 2 weeks.   So, updates! I got my resume updated, but still waiting on the majority of my letters of rec -- and oh shit! Just at this moment, I realized I neve

Loving red profiles and another health update!

Update - it's been 12 days since the transplant of my sister's bone marrow/stem cells and I'm still feeling pretty good. Have had mild nausea twice in the past week (but immediately controlled by medication) and minor headaches/body aches, but overall, no major side effects. My platelets have been coming back strong (138 today which is just shy of normal range of 140-440). My white cells also are coming back well at 1.0 (was 0.5 just a week ago and normal is 4.1-10.9), but my ANC, or Absolute Ne

Is there going to be another Korean War?

Was looking at this for the last few days and thought I'd chime in on my blog. Kim jung un is reeling for a confrontation: testing nukes, tearing the armistice, and now threatening to cut diplomatic contact.   If war was to be fought against the North Korean military using their nuclear arms, should and can the US honor its 60 year old scenario of nuclear retaliation? What about the impact to the Pacific Rim?   Also what many don't see is the thousand pound elephant in the room, China, remai

Current Playlist

So all the talk about music in chats the last few nights has me posting the playlist I'm currently writing to while working on Broken Prince and Mismatched Eyes. I'll post the playlist for Roadhouse Reds as soon as I have one pulled together, maybe that one is flowing so slowly because it doesn't have a playlist yet lol So yeah, anyone wanting to suggest songs for that one or good songs to write by, throw some my way!   Playlist for Broken Prince   -Broken (Seether) -Monster you Made

Csr: Story Discussion For State Of Mind

Fishwings accepted my request and wrote up an excellent review to entice you to read the story, just in case you haven't already. Bear in mind, however, there *are* some spoilers. Read ahead at your own risk!   Fishwing's Review:   First of all, I'd like to thank Cia for letting me write this review. She knows that I'm a huge fan of Libby Dr

7 Common Writing F*ckups

I am by no means an expert at writing, but I am a very avid reader of all sorts of genres -- published, not published, gay, straight, sci-fi, horror, romance -- and I've noticed some very common writing faux pas that are present in a lot of non-published works -- and in some published works as well (*cough* 50 Shades of Grey).   Some of these fuckups are subjective and some of these fuckups are bigger than others, but I have found all of them hindering to the reading process.         1) L

Life happens even when you aren't ready

I just need to make things clear to everyone.   First off I have no definite news so can't fill in blanks that might be left here, but figured I would let people know why I have seemed to vanish from here.   Wednesday I was at work. Normal night, and nothing out of the ordinary. I went for lunch and came back. I was standing at the counter all of five minutes and my back began to hurt. I went to splash water on my face and was returning when pain shot up my back so badly I grabbed the wall a

American Greatness

I came across a powerful indictment of American hubris. Not to pile on about the decline of America which I don't personally think has happened, but in my opinion we are less than we assume and less than what we were.   Please take a look at the video in the below link and watch it all the way to the end but be warned it contains some very strong language:   http://www.safeshare.tv/w/UAGOcLSuLX     I submit that with politics dead-locked in this country, we are becoming a dysfunctional so

Writing Prompts #218 & #219

Hey folks! It's that time again, prompt time! We have 2 more creative prompts from our resident flash inspiration guru, Comicfan. 218 is right up my alley so I'm going to try to do something for it later this week, I think. Site flash fiction is something I have, to my embarrassment, been neglecting. It's a cool little way to inspire authors to write-even if it's just something small and fun. You can do a 30 word poem, or a 100 word microflash, or an under 1k regular flash, or a prompt could ins

Short health update snipets

Two recent FB posts   From Mar 18 at 9:49pm near Sacramento: Day 3 after my transplant - continuing to feel really good, but have been warned that typically 6-7 days after (so this Thurs or Fri), I'll probably dip low on platelets and/or hemoglobin and need a blood transfusion. So, while I wish I was home with Dan and the kids, I know I'm being watched carefully around the clock until things get stable (another 11-17 days).

Iraq War Vet Pens Last Letter to Dubya and Dick

Here's a letter, written by an Iraq War veteran named Tomas Young under hospice care, to Dubya and Dick. His body has been ravaged by paralysis and resulting complications that he's decided to go off his feeding tube and "fade away" instead of the conventional suicide.   The Last Letter   Pretty powerful stuff. It saddens me to think of how many lives were destroyed because of Haliburton war complex, and how so few of us gave a crap about what was going on over in Iraq because we were m

Bollywood industry of the yesteryears has produced some of the most talented musicians - Singers, lyricists, composers and even directors who have indeed put those musical gems into an appropriate wrapper of cinema and actors who emoted the languish and the laughter, bringing life to the lyrics.
