Working It Out - Book 2 by Don Hanratty

Working It Out Book 2 was a great read - and excitingly picks up right off from where Book 1 ended, which some authors sometimes decide to move the timeline forward quite a bit to introduce enough uncertainty to introduce new characters, new settings, and new conflicts without opening up questions to why the conflicts did not occur in the previous novel. Don did a spectacular job in making sure that the plot progressed just as quickly as Book 1.   I loved the plot, and it gave me the long awa

the Place In Between

Coming soon for the Spring Anthology:   the Place In Between   It’s never a destination. It’s a place in between tedium and suburbia. It is an impulse turn off of the daily routine; a guilty pleasure that you can feel guilty about after you feel the rush of the forbidden.

Working It Out by Don Hanratty

Working It Out by Don Hanratty's a great, fast paced novel that took me through a series of roller coasters along the ride. I just finished Book 1 (of 3) and I must say it was a great novel. I have to admit that the novel's speed was a bit too quick for me, as in before I could get any time to really realize what's going in the surroundings, the scene changes and you're shocked by the next series of events that happen in the plot. There is no "plateau" where things just randomly settle down f

Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Alright, so it's the new semester. I have a job on campus at the student dining hall. Work is work, but this time around I'm getting more hours. And to be honest, I really don't like two of the shifts I have- I don't like the pace, and while I know I could get used to the duties over the semester, I just don't feel like $7.25 an hour is worth getting aggravated trying to get used to something when I've got two other shifts with job duties I'm used to having. This week I'm working somewhere clo

It's My Life

It's a good Bon Jovi song and says a lot about what I'm feeling right now and what I'm dealing with.   As you may or may not know, I have an overbearing mother who thinks the world revolves around her and everyone should drop what they're doing at her beck and call. I'm not being over dramatic, but honest with this statement. I'm in the process of moving to Pennsylvania and finding a job (and I have a few leads that I'm following up on) which is taking up most of my time. I also have a lot goi

Holy Shit, Part II - She's pregnant!

So today was the day we found out - and weird as it was, I seemed to be the least nervous of everyone I knew - even co-workers were more anxious than I was. I just figured I'd know when I knew.   Mike sent me about 20 text messages - I was in court for a good part of the day, first in the morning than again around 3 ish. At one point my phone kept vibrating so much from all the text messages, I had to take it out of my pants pocket because it was making me excited.   I must have been a

Death - Is it Just Me?

I have never been afraid of death. I have been afraid of dying, but I have pretty much made my peace with that too.   Afraid or not, at peace or not, I have always had a total fascination with death and I have been told that makes me weird. As many of you know I have a thing about unconsciousness. I find the fading of consciousness fascinating and very sexy (may I say from an entirely altruistic point of view and not through experience). As an extension of this the moment of death is even mo

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

Except that I just paid 10.50 for a pack of Newports. I don't feel so fine about that. I hate New York. So, clearly my best option is to move clear across the country and see how California treats me. I'm wondering how much 'ports are there... I can probably find that out somewhere. I know its unhealthy and all that but honestly? No one that smokes right now doesn't know that so I'm assuming that means we all need a better reason to quit. I'm also assuming that since a pack a day habit wi

Tribute to a Lady

My aunt recently passed away. She's been fighitng breast cancer for almost five years, and we've had a few close calls this last year, but she finally asked to go home the week before christmas. I was working, and wasn't able to break away until Thursday of that week. She died that Wednesday.   She was my mom's little sister and best friend. Smart as hell, pretty much the Tax expert for all of the relatives. And beautiful. Most of that side of the family has more looks than sense, but she had

Back on the Chain Gang

I started my second semester of grad school this week. The workload is pretty intimidating, but I think I got it down by this point. I hope, anyway.   One thing that struck me is how much more relaxed I feel as opposed to that first week of grad school. Everything- god I just felt like I couldn't breate. I spent the night before my first classes that semester reading the reflections of a woman who dropped out of her PhD program. I was positive that I would flunk out. And I did pretty well.

28) Indecisive Longing

It wasn't until I talked to you on the phone That's when I realized just how much I missed you Your voice brought back so many memories I haven't thought about the "thistle" incident in years And for a time it was like 1995 all over again When we were still an "us" and mostly happy   It wasn't until we both hung up the phone That's when I realized just how little I missed you We both know that this life is ever changing This is a fact based on a principle we both understand Friendship

Oops, did not even check that my sig links

I just realized that my link to Exodus lead to nowhere.   Just fixed it to redirect to my off site story page.   Now to something more interesting:   New Orleans was fun and the food was awesome. The Psychic reading at Jackson square was weird, but cool.   I wonder if any guys I know are Scorpio, black haired, and 5'8 to 5'5. Supposedly, I will marry him and our romance will begin soon. Cross your fingers.   Food wise, I highly advise trying the crawfish, shrimp , and Crab Cakes in

Everybody's Wounded

Everybody's Wounded, by Duncan Ryder, is an award winning story here on GA.   Link: http://duncanryder.g...org/stories.php   This story was a very complicated yet refreshing love story - yet to describe the story with mere words like intimate, intense, shocking... all just sounds too bland to properly give a description as to the powerfulness of how DR presented the novel.   I think Duncan Ryder has brought me outside of the realm of dkstories finally and I think I'm going to begin moving

Reading Dawn of Tears

I've read 28 chapters of Dawn of Tears and so far I've loved it as much as I've loved the first Do Over novel.   Although I really would have liked the specifics to be a little more consistent along the storyline, from simple things like calling Dylan's jet first a 797 and then a 787 to more important details along the plot, I really would had a better time reading if the story text was better edited and reviewed.   I wonder if people could help Dan edit these stories and republish them?

My Addition to Wolfram Alpha

A while back I was asked to comment on Wolfram Alpha. See what's there. See what I like. See if anything is missing.   Never missing an opportunity to comment on anything, qualified or not, I said:     For those who don't know or care what a bloody Green's function is, check this. It will build character.     Green's Function, formal definition   Well- today this was added to Wolfram-Alpha's data bank:       My pleasure. I admire old George Green. Anyone who drops out of se
