    Oh.. a Real Post

    By Myr,


    Life
    Ugh. I've got a little problem lately that I can't seem to get under control. I can't sit still. This makes working on anything rather difficult as I have the most trouble sitting in my desk chair.
     
    Motivation to do so is also somewhat lacking. I can't force myself to focus on much of anything lately. I'm hoping that it has just been the crappy weather we've had all week.
     
    Today, I have a nice long list of things I plan on working on. I'm mowing the lawn, cleaning the basement, cleaning my room, (and other forms of spring cleaning), and I also plan on knocking off a few of the things on my list for the site. Keep your fingers crossed!
     
    Tomorrow, I plan on taking some pictures of the great outdoors. It is supposed to be sunny and nice.
     
    Anyhoo, I might be posting some of my writing updates soon. They are not ready for the site, but they might prove to some people that I have been doing at least a little writing lately

    Busy, Busy, Busy!

    By Myr,


    Life
    Yikes!
    It has been awhile, hasn't it?
     
    For those of you that don't know this by now, I get up about an hour early every morning to take care of emails and other Site related stuff. I generally eat breakfast while doing this.
     
    Then it is all day at work.
     
    When I get home, I boot back up the computer and spend an hour or two taking care of email and posts on the site.
     
    This is every weekday.
     
    Weekends are much the same, except I don't have to go to work.
     
    Lately, I have been writing. I'm working on 3 different stories at the moment. A new Psionic Corp future state (spaceship future) that I haven't titled yet; a Valdemar (by Mercedes Lackey) FanFiction that is set between Brightly Burning and Exile's Valor in that time frame where there is nothing cannon; and the Harry Potter and the Parliament of Dreams Chapter 3 rewrite.
     
    I am also working on eliminating problems on the Gay Authors site and designing a new look that is easy and straightforward to navigate and find things. In the meantime, I have put some search functions in to make it easier for people to find things.
     
    In addition to all that, I'm keeping my eye on the future. There is some new software that I'm testing for the site. There are a raft of software updates for the site that I will be installing this weekend.
     
    I will be taking a break to get more achievements on my Xbox 360 though. Hopefully, none of you begrudge me that.

    One More Day

    By Myr,


    Life
    There is just one more day this week of work. Thank God! There is so much junk food at work that you can't walk two feet without tripping over some. It's driving me crazy.
     
    Tomorrow is the official office party. (tons more food) I spent the last two nights baking for it myself.
     
    I will finally have some rest and relaxation time for myself this weekend. Except for wrapping the gifts, I'm home free for 3 of the next 4 days. I'm going to work on some writing and more Mass Effect gaming, I think.
     
    I'm off to do the dishes.

    Yikes!

    By Myr,


    Life
    Today was a long long long day.
     
    I'm about written out, because I had to do a lot of career type things. (resume, cover letters, stuff).
     
    So, this is short and sweet.
     
    Catch you tomorrow.

    Every Which Way But Loose

    By Myr,


    Life
    Well. It has been one hell of a day today. Nothing bad happened. Nothing great happened. But the day moved along fairly quickly. Getting out of the driveway this morning was a grand adventure. I had to dig my way to my car. The snow was to my knees. The snowdrifts were to my waist.
     
    I got stuck and had to rock my car back and forth a little. Once I was lined up, I had to pretty much gun it, cross my fingers and hope for the best. The fishtales of snow streaming out of both sides of the front of my car were a sight to see. I won't eloborate on the lack of plowed roads for the drive into work
     
    Work zipped by and I got a decent amount accomplished. I had to put in for my last personal day on 12/24. Cheap bastards again. Though, I am making them open the building for me 12/31. (I'm salary... they say the facility is closed, but salary people have to report. It is there way to get us to take days off. I'm out. So, I'm going to work. I won't be doing much except cleaning up my file drawers and catching up on magazines.
     
    I did spend a little time today working on the site. There is a large number of things I've wanted to do, but I keep putting off. I finally started doing some of them. One of the things I am planning on doing is emailing the entire membership a quick survey. The purpose of the survey will be to determine what people like and don't like about Gay Authors. Remembe to check your email address and make sure it works.
     
    I've also spent time today working on organizing my writing. I have so many partial stories and chunks floating around that it is hard to find the particular one that I'm looking for. No longer. I can find things fairly easily now. I've also begun quick outlines for all 4 anthology stories for next year. I'm hoping to turn in a story for each.
     
    I mentioned in the past that I plan on making Psionic Corp a series of stand alone stories featuring Ian and perhaps other characters. One of the things I'm thinking rather strongly of at the moment is to do a stand alone Psionic Corp story for all 4 anthology themes for 2008. I'm in the process of rewriting chapters 1 and 2 of Psionic Corp and blending it with the other stuff I have already written to create: Psionic Corp: First Son.
     
    Comments are welcome.

    Shopping on Weekends... mmm

    By Myr,


    Life
    I try to avoid shopping as much as possible. On occasion though, I simply must go to the store. At times like these, I'm thankful for Wegmans. If you don't have one in your area, Wegmans is a grocery store chain here in the NY/PA/NJ area. They tend to cater to middle and upper middle class neighborhoods. They have also been consistently in the top 10 employers in the USA for the last 10 years. (including number 1). Anyway, they tend to have the higher quality teen males working for them. (good wage and college scholarships). The amount of eyecandy in these stores on weekends is... well... staggering.
     
    Any way... other than getting some shopping done... this day has been pretty quiet.
     
    I have been doing some more writing world details for my new writing venture. (future of Psionic Corp universe)
     
    I'm off to enjoy the great big snowstorm.

    Gaming online and Gay-bashers

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    As some people know, I enjoy gaming when I get the time. While I'm not head-over-heels in love with FPS's, I do have Halo3, and a few similar games. Gay Gaymer (For boys who like boys who like joysticks), has a little video showing how bad it can get for gay guys online.
    (Part of it, was the purposefully named "gayboy" gamer tag. Still, it is rather shocking... I bet even for a sailor. I'll ask Dan. )

    When I'm xbox live, I have occasionally reported people that were being abusive, but I've never really run into anything as bad as this video.

    Well everyone... it hasn't happened in 14 years...
     
    I'm going on vacation.
     
    I will be worshiping at the Alter of the Mouse in sunny Orlando, Florida.
     
    Please behave. I do not intend to be online at all and if anything happens that requires me to get called on vacation... let's just say that you will no longer be a member...
     
    I have lots of plans and lots of stuff on tap for when I get back. I should be nice and refreshed after 9 days away from the Internet and depressing news. I am spending a number of days at the Happiest Place on Earth, after all.
     
    Be good!

    Harry Potter (SPOILERS!)

    By Myr,


    Books
    My goodness. The journey has at least come to an end. It's suprising the amount of things that different fanfiction writers got right.
     
    Albus Severus Potter. Hell of a name for a son, eh?
     
    I couldn't beleive the number of deaths.
     
     
    Something else!! Bravo!

    United 93 - Go see it

    By Myr,


    Movies
    I just got back from seeing United 93. It's about the 4th hijacked plane that crashed into the field in PA when the passengers tried to take back over the flight from the muslim terrorists on September 11th.
     
    I strongly recommend that everyone see this movie.
     
    Americans, and the world, seem to have forgotten that there is a large group of people that want to kill us all.

    2008 already?

    By Myr,


    Life
    Happy New Year!
    I hope everyone had fun. Is it really 2008 so soon? I am really starting to feel old! I'm now only 4 months out from turning 31. Yikes! I never figured I'd get this far.
     
    There are a great number of things that I would like to get to this year. There is just so much stuff to do. Writing, site stuff, work, looking for work...
     
    I'm getting a little tired of the same old boring routine. But I'm not sure I want to get out of the routine either.
     
    Ugh.
     
    Here's to a prosperous 2008 for all of us!

    4 days off

    By Myr,


    Life
    I now have a nice 4 day weekend. I have a lot of things on my list of things to do. A lot of it is writing tasks. Keep your fingers crossed.
     
    I will also be devoting a lot of time to playing Xbox 360. I think I will mostly be focusing on getting the rest of the achievements for Mass Effect. Though, I will also hit up a few other games.
     
    I'm going to crash and start my day early tomorrow.
