Thank You For You

Yes, I do appreciate all of you. Sometimes I get wrapped up in things and forget to say it or show it, but I FEEL it. Yesterday, at the horse racing sim, we were informed that one of our friends had died earlier this month from brain cancer. We hadn’t heard from him in awhile because of his illness and his nephew who gave us updates, took his death hard and didn’t let us know right away. John Chapman, Nawbo or Naws to the sim gang, was an amazing friend who was my partner in the Stupor Stable. I miss him, but I know that he lives on in the memories – little pieces of him –...

Poison!

Not the band, although I like them. No, I have food poisoning and I have to say that the first 24 hours of it is just brutal. The second 24 hours is just miserable by comparison. So I feel better, but rather like I have a massive hangover. I’ve never had a hangover (alcohol just never affected me like that), but from what other people say a hangover feels like… that would be me. Massive headache. Massive nausea. Add to that a case of ‘I wish the bathroom was about 6 feet closer to my bed’. I’m seriously unhappy. I had a lot of plans for my Sunday that included The...

Contest Quickly!

Gah! I have to go to work. I’ve been out of time for days! I’m one chapter away from finishing the sequel to the novella I sold. This story is longer than the first one and more involved. It does feature a scene with Karl the snarky elf in the beginning. He shows up briefly once more, and then there’s a scene with Corey, the hero’s executive assistant. Just like Karl, who is a little like our own Secondhand Karl, Corey is someone you know. See if you can guess who? First person to answer correctly in comments will win… something. I dunno what yet cause I gotta run...

Not Never

Better late than never, eh? I had a problem with my eye yesterday so I didn’t get Humpday Hotties up on time. By the time I could see out of the eye, I needed to go to work. Basically, I have a condition where my eyeball swells. It’s related to my asthma. To make the swelling go down, I have to use steriod drops. They suck. The condition is painful. And it recurs. Probably was brought on by stress yesterday. Anyway, I have a cold glass of moo juice and hot chocolate chip cookies and some hotties I didn’t get to post yesterday. First up is the beautiful Rafael Verga, the bisexual...

Mall Madness

Have I said before that I hate the mall? I must have. I REALLY hate the mall. Anyway, Motley needed new jeans so guess where I was yesterday? Heh heh. Barnes and Noble! Motley was across the street at the mall. At any rate, going shopping screws up my day. I don’t get done the things I’d thought I’d accomplish over the weekend and I just really really dislike it. The bookstore wasn’t too godawful bad and for once, no one was in the romance section until right before I left, so I was alone with the books. That was probably a good thing because I’m sure I looked like...

A Likely Candidate

Elections are over. Whew. Yes, I voted. No, not for the first time either. I’ve picked a winner before. More than once. Our new prez said he was an unlikely candidate… well, today I bring you likely candidates… for licking. Let’s all celebrate, shall we? First up, a Brazilian popsicle… Alex Verga. Then, some American ice cream… Laura Prepon. And finally, the sorbet that is… DJ Stikki Nikki from Outlaw Radio… Aka… my own Motley. I’ll be back on Friday with some pimping and news about a GREAT giveaway on MySpace where YOU have the...

Can’t Miss

I’m running a little late this morning, but I can’t miss putting up Marcus. As a muse, Marcus has been superb! Gotta love the man’s yummyness. The only new news I have to report is that my novella Shifting Winds will probably be out in e-Book format in March from Pink Petal Books. The sequel is about 1/3 done now. I’m hoping to have it finished by the 15th. One of the things that’s been helping me is a little writing group called Word Wars. For those of you who write or are doing NaNo, you might want to consider joining us. It’s just a conference in Yahoo Instant...
