Getting into advice too

Hey, it seems everyone is giving advice, and instead of ruining Tiger's Desiderata thread, I'll make it an entry.       WORDS OF ADVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE     People often ask me if I have any words of advice for young people. Well, here are a few simple admonitions for young and old.   Never interfere in a boy and girl fight.   Beware of whores who say they don't want money. The hell they don't. What they mean is they want more money. Much more.   If you're doing business with a

New stuff has come to light

Hi there, everyone. I haven't been insanely post-whoring lately, and I even lost some creds as a proofreader; but since November 1st, this has been quite a roller-coaster ride.   I never discussed this here, and only told two people I think, though reading Krista's, Sharon's or Steve's blogs, I'm definitely not alone.   My mom died on November 9th. She was diagnosed with breast cancer right before Christmas 2001. At that time, she was 55, walked and trekked a lot, worked too... I'll sum it

Fiction and reality

I was quite upset as a teenager when I was told about how comics/ movies/ RPGs had a bad influence on "youth". I also hated being made part of a group just on view of my age. I've always believed "people", like in a vast majority of people, were grown up enough to see the difference between fiction and reality.   But as of late, I've started wondering about the influence of fiction, TV series in particular, on how "people" actually see the world. A few months back, I was at one of my music fri

One year ago today.

It was just one year ago today that the phone rang, a bit earlier than it is now. I was chatting with BC, the artist who draws Simon, as we were supposed to meet the following week to have lunch as I wanted to meet him in person, since he lived two hours away from home, though in a different country. I picked up the phone, and right away, I knew by my mom's voice that something was wrong.   My dad was in the clinic. He had undergone an operation to remove a tumor to his lung. He was 63, and ha

Neigborhood entertainment

I thought they'd go at it again, but eventually it's quiet.   First of all, a little description is in order. I live in a small two-story house, in what used to be a textile industry neighborhood. In the 12th century, they dried out the swamps in the valley and started building a village in the shade of the cathedral; well they built the cathedral around the same time. In the 18th century the small village saw the implementation of textile plants. So it became people with the plants' workers.

A sunny day

Yes, I'm original and creative in my titles! Thanks for stopping by, guys, you rock.   Lots of good news today: the lessons I gave in Paris went well, I got some translation job at a proper rate (yeah! good money!), I had lunch with a good friend, and the weather was just perfect: sunny and in the 70s (23

A Rainy Day

Strangely enough, we've had exactly the weather I imagined for my anthology story. Last year at the same time, there was a major heat wave (90

(One of) the Great Debate(s)

To start with, thanks to those who took the time to leave a comment. I agree, L0st Cause, small venues offer great shows. And the singer for French Kiss is a 18/ 20-year old girl, who doesn't look like her Janis Joplin-like voice, just so you know, Carl and Conner.   I'd like to use my blog to contribute to a debate that's been going on in many threads, and avoiding to cluster Shadowgod's blog with my rambling. The porn/ erotica/ sex in fiction debate.   The biggest thing for me is that what

A first

I have been meaning to create a blog for a while, just for the sake of not hijacking other people's with comments and rant all on my own. So here we are, my very first entry. A positive one as is. Last evening, the band I play with shared the stage (a small bar actually) with these girls. It was a great evening; we played OK, and this took place in a little neighborhood bar in which we have played a few times, and where we are welcome royally every time. It ended the week-end on a joyful note
