I'm going to miss Boo reading over my shoulder. His health has obviously been declining over the last year so it didn't come as a complete shock. Boo's understudy Rambo will be taking over the duties of Alpha cat. Rambo is scary smart and a little psycho. We should get along just fine.

Boo the Orange Tabby (1993-2010) went to hunt with LongCat in the ForEverGlade today. He had been suffering from a prolonged decline in his health and sudden onset kidney failure. Boo was preceded in death by his mate of 9 years Sissy the Calico. He was a long time member of St. Fluffy of the Sacred Hairball Cat-o-lick Church. He will be greatly missed by both his human and cat companions as a sweet old cat who never growled at anyone but dogs.

One of the best SF series that I've read is called The War Against the Chtorr by David Gerrold. It was an interesting series about an ecological invasion of earth. It was an excellent series of three books. The bad part was that it wasn't finished. The fourth volume came out a decade later. Three more are promised. Now... I only read series that are finished.

It's always good to hear from the Great and Powerful Myr

Reading bad stories makes me sad. EMO kids: when you are struck with the urge to write bad, self-indulgent poetry and cut yourself, JUST SAY NO! (and cut yourself anyway).

I hate babies! I've got a stalker that's a baby. Every time I go out to eat or fly on a plane that little SOB is right there screaming his ass off. I don't know how he does it. He's right there every time.

< listen while reading We heard the rumors and saw the weird stories on the Internet. To be perfectly honest we thought that it was the same sort of run of the mill insanity that had some people believing in aliens or outlandish conspiracy theories. We would have been caught completely by surprise just like everyone else if we had not had a break. The summer before the Great Panic, none of us had even heard of a zombie outside of a horror movie until one literally drove into town. A pair of Vicksburg Police Officers were gassing up their cruiser at the Exxon just off of I-20 in Vicksburg when a man in a Volvo with Texas plates drove in and started filling up. The officers noticed that he was disheveled, nervous and looked like he hadn

A couple of my stories appropriate for the holiday: Remembering Joey Valhalla You can be home from a combat zone in 48 hours but it takes a lifetime to get the war out of your head.

Cats are immune to the virus that cause zombies. They can sense a zombie from a mile away and will become agitated. Since the Rising, cats have become the must have pet. No telling how many survivors owe their lives to ferocious feline soldiers named Fluffy or Mr. Biscuits. In fact, cats really hate zombies. It must be something about the way they smell. Many cats will attack zombies and attempt to claw their eyes out. One of the funniest damn things that you will ever see is a zombie with a pissed off cat on his head. Cat are fast and agile. Zombies are slow and clumsy. It's a classic mismatch like a line-man with two broken legs trying to cover a wide-receiver. If the zombie has advanced decay, a cat can take its head completely off. < F-ing zombies piss me off. ________________________________________________ From an upcoming project that I have in development.

I have no objections to sex scenes but I don't want every wet and messy detail. It is one of those instances where less is more. I would argue that it is more erotic to leave some of the details to the readers imagination.

No cause of death has been released yet. An autopsy has been ordered and we'll probably see something posted later this week or early next.

One of the core lessons that you will hear about writing is show don't tell. There's a time and place for sermons and most people don't read them.

Cole has some excellent work posted. Some of my favorites are: Eighth Grade Distorted Perspectives On the High Plains of Wyoming Cole's Home Page has links to all of his posted stories.

Slipknot Bassist Is Found Dead By DAVE ITZKOFF Source Link (NY Times) The police in Iowa said that they would have more information on the death of Paul Gray, the bassist and a co-founder of the heavy metal band Slipknot, after an autopsy on Tuesday, but that foul play was not immediately suspected, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Gray, 38, was found dead on Monday at a TownePlace Suites hotel in Johnston, Iowa, north of Des Moines. In the early 1990s he helped found Slipknot, the nihilistic if highly theatrical band whose members wear gruesome masks and refer to themselves by numbers and evocative nicknames (Mr. Gray went by No. 2 or

People kept mis-underestimating Bush and he kept winning elections. Over the course of his political career, Bush(II) managed to beat such democratic notables as Ma Richards, Al Gore and John Kerry. When you take on a person in any kind of contest, you have to show a modicum of respect or you run the risk of looking arrogant. In sports, a dash of arrogance adds to the drama. In politics, it is pure poison. Although it takes confidence and ego to be President, people want to know that whoever they put in that chair will keep a level head and remember that it's NOT all about them. It's about the country.
