I really liked Chapter 66 and I really liked the twist that Darius was looking to get an appointment to Annapolis. I think that would be great for him. And I think Chico is bad fall back school, San Diego State, sure, Long Beach State, maybe and even San Jose State given its proximity to Escorial..... but Chico?? Or go the route of going to Santa Barbara City College to transfer into UCSB since SBCC students got to use UCSB dorms, it was a lot like being at UCSB.
Yes, he could go to work with my friend Mark who was a lawyer in the Bush Administration. Mark threw the best gay parties in DC, usually Naked Martini Parties, bow tie optional.
I am very grateful that the story has gotten back to the drama of the Omega - Triton battle and the attempts to drive Omega under, but I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on Congressional aides.
Do remember that Pete Williams started his career with Dick Cheney when he was a WY Congressman and he was working for the first George Bush as the Assistant Secretary of Defense when he was publically outed as being gay by a liberal gay activist trying to embarass the Bush Administration. Everyone in WDC knew Pete was gay and no one in Republicans circles cared. He did a good job, he was judged by his work. Michaelangelo Signorile didn't care about the personal damage he was doing to Mr. Williams, he only cared about his agenda. I find such actions despicable.
I like the story obviously, but I really hate this notion that a major defense contractor on the level of a Northrup Grumman or Lockheed has the inclination to kill someone. Lie, cheat, steal and bribe to win a contract, sure it is a rough world out there, but corporate hit men is only a reality in the minds of Hollywood script writers.
Okay, don't think me a curmudgeon, but I could give a rip about the wedding and the love play room.
This story was heading such a great direction when they were on the road to crushing Omega.
If the story were an opera, I'd be in the bar right now on my third Scotch.
Cut the mushy crap I want drama!
Actually the hot guy action never interests me as much as the story... I am a little sad we've drifted away from the Crushing of Omega.
Remind me who Zach's parents are? Who was the kid they bought a cell phone for a while back?
asshole is "un ojete" for 'eyelet', to call someone an asshole would be "un culera"
dick could be "el pito" but also "verga" which might be better since it is part of a mast, the yardarm.
balls could also be "pelotas" besides "alegrias"
Cum is "leche" but 'to cum' is "venirce"
pubic hair slang is "pendejo" but pendejo means so many things, I'll think of a different word or phrase
Some of those are Mexican slang words not 18th century Spanish and direct translations don't always work because the insult might not make sense directly translated.
Balls would be "alegrias"
While bastardo might be the actual word, a Spaniard wouldn't use it as an insult, he'd say "cabron" (billy goat) or "hijo de perra" (son of a dog)
In speaking to a man, you wouldn't call him a whore, you'd call him a "hijo de puta" (son of a whore), doubly insulting him.
I'll think on the others.....
Wade hates WDC and if he goes to law school it will be Stanford or Hastings and he'd wind up at MoFo or if Matt landed at ICM, CAA or Dreamworks, Wade would be at O'Melveny. They are Californians now and aren't heading back to the snow and ice.
Matt is more likely to wind up at International Creative Management (ICM) or Creative Artists Agency (CAA) than old school energy or investment banking. He could also land a job at Dreamworks as an assistant to Geffen or Katezenberg.
If he wanted to go into the financial world, he'd more likely wind up at a Silicon Valley capital venture company or an old line SF company like Sutro or Dodge & Cox. He wouldn't want to go back east, why would he??
And no way Wade is for Obama, he is a Hillary person all the way.
When I was catching up in the Millennium series (all 40 some pages) I saw that you were negged like on every post you posted.... I just figured you and your friends were messing with each other... but it is possible you ticked someone off, but that would be a lot of work to neg you that much if you only get 5 a day.... I think you should be flattered you an touch someone so deeply! 0)
He grinned. “Plenty of time for that later. We have our whole lives to f**k.”
I swear with God as my witness Arbour, if this is a foreshadowing of Robbie's death I will hunt you down and stake you to an ant hill!
That was actually the 2001 Worlds so he had yet to win an Olympic medal and only had two of his six world championships.
Has to be the best skating routine of all time.
