    November CSR Discussion Day: Hustle by Talo Segura

    By Cia

    Wow, November already. With the year almost over, I wanted to keep featuring things that kept readers guessing and challenge the idea of the traditional reading genres and stories. What did you think of Hustle? Share your thoughts below, but first, the interview!! Chocolate or Vanilla? I have to cheat... both! What's your favorite room in your home? Do you plot or write there? I don't have a favourite room and I write where ever I find myself alone and not being disturbed, of

ACA and me.

Well this healthcare.gov website has to be the glitchiest website I have ever tried to use. I've encountered at least 5 DIFFERENT errors when signing up, logging in, verifying my identity, uploading documents or just navigating!   It's so frustrating...   I'll probably drop by the med center here on campus some time this week to talk to someone. I'm not really sure what to expect.

Where I am, Where we are heading

After some rest and some evil plotting from me with my new story ....I feel a little less angry, but it is still there.   My grandma's problems have not ended, my feeling of betrayal has not subsided, and my anger directed towards the Tea Party movement will probably not diminish.   Honestly, I don't know where I am in terms of my life or politics. I hate what the Tea Party movement has done to my party; I warned as many people back in 2010 that it's a mistake, but few people listened to me

My Disco Playlist

So, I've been re-watching Saturday Night Fever on Netflix (seriously, the R-rated version is soooo much better than the one that ran on TV), and I've been in the mood for some good disco.   Here's my playlist:   1.   2.   3. You Should Be Dancing - The BeeGees   4.   5.   6. Night Fever- The BeeGees   7.   8. I Feel Love- Donna Summer   9.   10.   11.

Pro's and Con's: My day

Okay, I should first announce that my new story's 1st chapter is going live tonight. It's definitely a love child of passion, interest, and even a bit of comedy I could not have done this without Kitt's help in editing.   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/Causality/2 That's the Pro of my day, next comes all the Cons:   Son of Bitch! is all I can say about my grandmother's housing administrator. An 85 year old woman is likely to be evicted from her home in the next two weeks, because she

October? Already?

There are few things going on right now that are driving me nuts. I can't believe we are already in October. Seems this year is in fast forward. How did the time slip away so fast?   I am going to bounce around, so those who read this, I apologize in advance.   First up - The government shut down, again! I can't be bothered to point fingers and say whose fault this is. What I can say is if those elected to represent the people decide to put their polices before the welfare of the country we

The Shutdown and Me

I've seen enough to make up my mind about this shit.   Alright, most of the people around GA have only mentioned news stories or circumstantial issues with the government shutdown, let me give you all a real life experience, but first let me lay down three points:   1. I have never been a fan of the Tea Party. The members of the GA Soapbox and GA Right Forum can attest to this fact.   2. I am actually applauding President Obama's no negotiation stance. He is showing courage and leadership.

Phoenix

Sometimes I get some comfort from drawing things not of this world...   This is my first ever attempt at drawing a phoenix. I guess I'm supposed to be the hooded figure with the phoenix perched on my shoulder..

Government shutdown.

Here's some things that the United States government doesn't consider essential: Safety inspections for foods and drugs.* * Operating in emergency status. Details here: http://www.hhs.gov/budget/fy2014/fy2014contingency_staffing_plan-rev2.pdf Public housing. No new social security applications are being accepted. The CDC and flu shots. The Environmental Protection Agency. The Head Start program. For those of you that don't know what that is, it provides education, health &

Juan Linz is dead and US government is getting worse.

Article   I usually stayed away from politics since the Soapbox got closed but this article, linking the passing of a great political scientist and the present crisis of governance in the US, got me nodding in agreement. So I thought I would share it with you in case you wanted to know what you are up for.

Really? "embarassed"

So. All of you know that I should have been born a blonde. But, as I get older, it is becoming more obvious. My antics are almost unbelievable, but true. "unfortunately"   Hubby is in awe of how I am still me, even at this age. He thought I would grow out of it, and learn from experience. Nope, I'm still me evidently.   "back at the farm" A couple of weeks ago, hubby was over at the lake, filling the fish feeders, cutting the dam, etc. I decided to try to help him with the outside chores, an

Count Dracula Counts Adjectives

From A Single Man by Chris Ischerwood One adjective hahaha. Two adjectives hahaha. Three hahaha, four, five, six, seven, (Work it Chris!), eight, nine adjectives hahaha. **Cue lightening and thunder** Sesame Street anybody? On a minor thought, the book is ok reading, if you don't mind literary fiction. I prefer the movie version then again the movie version is very different from the book. For one the MC in the movie is a lot nicer than the MC in the book. While the MC in the book does hav

Never Settle For A Diagnosis You Know To Be Wrong!

Over the past year, I've experienced episodes of back pain accompanied with bouts of nausea. The first few times I rode them out and didn't seek medial help. The last three times before this week, I sought out medical attention through the ER and with my primary doctor. I had my kidneys checked and knew they were not the cause of my pain.   Then early Saturday morning of last week, I had an attack which left me in tears and went to the ER. I explained all my symptoms and told the doc I didn't

When you can't study, get rowdy

It relieves you of all the stress, I swear. Finally got a chance to see Zedd this weekend and holy it was the shit. Nothing compares to the feeling of a bass so loud you can feel deep in your chest. Couldn't embed my facebook videos but well, this is good enough.   Look at those lights:   <iframe src=" https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10153287025635223" width="724" height="1280" frameborder="0"></iframe>     Seriously, look at those fucking lights:

Tired of hearing the same things

Here's my take on the US situation:   Something has to give in the US:   It's political in-fighting every night. Come on, as a society, this type of stuff has to be settled once and for all.   If a government shutdown occurs, then the US defaults, let's see what happens:   "If" the prediction of doom and gloom are over-dramatized by political pundits and news reporters, then we know that not all government operations are necessary, nor is our business relations dependent on a Federal gov

I just sneezed

I should be here more often but my career ( what a weird thing to come from my mouth ) has me full up the last year. As it is, in a weeks time, I'll be leaving San Francisco to open the second restaurant in what I hope is the start of a national brand.   And though I'm not the owner or investor ( yet ) I am quickly moving up in the new company.   Can you believe they put me in charge of a multi-million dollar restaurant? And a celebrity Chef too boot.   How my life has changed in the last

Modern Pop/World History Nerd-Out, Part 1

So, to kinda "test" my off-the-top-of-my-head knowledge about modern history and pop culture, I thought it'd be fun to work back and see what events, songs, general popular culture I can remember off-hand from every year, and see how far I can go back without any kind of googling. (I won't try to add EVERYTHING, just a few things.) The year that stumps me and I can't recall anything about it, is the end of this nerd-out.   The 2010's   2013: The Navy Yard shooting.

Hard Characters

The first iteration of Luke's character in Love and Go was something of a sarcastic, couldn't-care-less character mucking about in a garden of hurt. Fun guy really. If you're interested in reading an unedited version of Love and Go with hardass Luke, ask me. It's probably a better rendition but there was issues with motivation and the like. And I thought I was getting too comfortable writing the same sort of characters, and then I read The Defense by Nabokov which portrayed a disturbed chess pl

How to Swear Without Swearing

Attention! This post does contain some actual swearing. Posted this to Tumblr earlier, where it was well-received. Thought I'd share with the community as well.   There are a lot of comparatively mild curse words that we just accept as being family friendly without much thought as to where they come from. Some are just milder versions of a word we consider unacceptable, such as saying 'crap' instead of 'shit' or 'darn' instead of 'damn'. Others have so completely lost their original me
