I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you have a great day!

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.

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.

thanks

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. Myr

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.

Happy Birthday Jan! I hope you have a great day! Myr

Here is a good review: http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/kindle.asp The screen technology that the Kindle uses is the very cool "e-ink". Tech Geeks can check the details out here: http://www.eink.com/technology/howitworks.html I will be looking at one in generation 2. Kind of like I'm now looking at picking up a second generation Zune. (I hate IPod and pretty much all things Apple)

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.

I learned to drive on a stick shift. In the grand scheme of things, I prefer stick shift. Especially in a car with lots of go... My current vehicle is an automatic though. Drives me insane this time of year because it is much harder to handle in the snow than a stick shift was.

My trash talk isn't ever broadcast, as I never have the mic on. Good thing too. I'm usually trashing myself "How could I be so f**King stupid?" thing like that.

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. ) http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/11/29/ne...ive-trash-talk/ 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.

This is a cute spoof of Nickelback's I wanna be a rockstar. [/url][/url]

I am now that I'm home. http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/st...5544&page=1 I got a funny vibe when I was reading about Dumbledore's youth that I dismissed in the rush to find out the ending. I distinctly remember it now that I'm told Dumbledore is gay. It certainly explains some of the stuff going on behind the scenes.

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! Myr

Iran is national sponser of terror. The war in Iraq is a proxy war with Iran. (for those of you too slow to follow this... American Soldiers are being killed by weapons and people from Iran. This is what they refer to as Casus belli. Act of War) I'm assuming that you antiwar for any reason types would be the ones that also denied that Hitler was exterminating Jews. You probably also think President Bush was the one who flew the airplanes into these buildings: We are in a global war against Islamic Fundamentalism. Or Islamic Facism, if you prefer the proper term. These facists, like the Nazis, want to exterminate Jews, Gays, and Americans. They will do everything they can to do so. It sickens me that the first targets of these people are the ones playing Neville Chamberlain demanding that we surrender to them because they are oh so nice. Myr

definitely a cool site.

What a crock of crap. I've never partaked in soy. I was breastfed and then milk-fed. no soy. Not when I was a kid. Not even on purpose today....

The timing is a little screwy for me. I'm on vacation in Florida for the week of 10/20 through 10/27. Then turning around and flying to San Francisco the weekend after I get back. I haven't been on a plane in 27 years (to Dallas, by the way Joe), and here I am considering flying to the two furtherst places I can go in the Contenental USA inside a 2 week period. I checked the cost... I can afford to go. I checked vacation time remaining... I have just enough. I'm not sure on schedule. Work is going to be insane with me gone for a week. If I came back only to work 4 days, I think my boss would lay an egg. I'm thinking about it. call it 50/50 right now of me going to San Francisco. Now... next year should be in NYC... lol. I'd rather drive. (did you know it's cheaper for me to buy a ticket to San Francisco with a layover in NYC then for me to buy a ticket to NYC?)

I havent' had much reason to smile today, but I did get a couple of PMs that made me smile. Myr

Babylon 5: Crusade. The movie intro, Babylon 5: A Call to Arms was great, but almost completely ruined by very crappy music totally different from the show. Discordant. The show would have been fine if TNT let JMS run it like WB let him do B5. They kept asking for more T&A and other crap to dumb it down to TNT's auidience. He told them to buzz off, which is why it was only 13 episodes.

Keegan shows up in one of the interviews. I got the impression that someone said beforehand "Flame On". If you know what I mean...

Drooling over Prince Regent Vinturi is also fun. (Keegan MacIntosh) mmm hehe

For those of you that love Babylon 5 as one of the greatest Sci-Fi stories ever told... there is a new chapter: http://babylon5.warnerbros.com/ Direct to DVD movie. They say, if this sells well, there will be more. Apparently, WB has been making a nice amount of money from the DVD sales. (As I own all the Babylon 5 dvds yet released, I can see this.) Any way, click on Main Menu and then "Lost Tales" tab with the little movie playing. You'll see a very cool trailer for the DVD. Babylon 5: Lost Tales comes to DVD on July 31, 2007 Be sure to pick it up. Myr

I was affected by Dobby's death. Especially the length that Harry went to for his burial. I was rather hurt by Fred's death.
