Picnic with friends on a sunny day? Check.

Smartass two year old? Check.

I was helping little Misha down some steps...

Misha's mummy: "Say 'thank you, Jacqui'."
Misha: "Thank you, Jacqui."

*James goes down same steps, gets help from mummy, looks up and smirks with perfect smartass inflection*

James: Thank you, JA-CQUI.

Jacqui: I'm glad you said thank you, but you can say 'thank you, MUMMY!'."

*grabs her son for a round of death-by-tickle*

1. I signed up for yuletide. We will soon discover if this was a mistake, because i requested really random things, and if anenko or princess_dexter end up being my Santa, I wont be in the least shocked. Besides Glee, because SOMEONE seriously needs to write fic where Puck raises the baby, I requested RPF-SYTYCD, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, and Mei-chan. Because the WORLD NEEDS MORE MEI-CHAN DAMMIT.

I offered an insane amount of fandoms for me, so there is a slight chance i wont get magelette FOR THE THIRD TIME, but if that happens...I'm not sure I would even know how to write. How can i write if it's not for Kara? Help me. I feel lost and alone.


2. My boss has progressed to new degrees of bafflement. And by "bafflement," i mean "insanity." I walked past her twice today, smiled and greeted her, and she didn't so much as glance at me, much less answer me. Later, Brandus told me that HIS principal had pulled him to the side, and warned him he needed to talk to me, and that i needed to seriously kiss her ass to get on her good side. WHAT THE HELL. Is she bitching about me behind my back? What about? I KISS HER CRAZY ASS ALL THE TIME.

BRANDUS' PRINCIPAL. AT A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. WHAT THE HELL HERE PEOPLE.

I fucking hate her, seriously.


3. teffy asked me questions for this meme:
* Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
* I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
* Update your journal with the answers to the questions
* Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

My questions were:
1. What is your favorite musical number that's been on Glee so far?
Hmm, the ones I have rewatched the most often have been Mercedes singing "Bust Your Windows," and Puck singing "Sweet Caroline." I loved Bust Your Windows, because I loved seeing Mercedes being front and center. And honestly, her compared to the tiny skinny Cheerios? I'd do Mercedes.

And there is NOTHING MORE AWESOME then Puck singing Sweet Caroline to Rachel. I could not believe it when they shipped them - I was already shipping them, but not expecting it, and then! and then! It was like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up in one!

2. What Hogwarts house is the best and why?
Hmmm. I think they all have good points. I can be remarkably Hufflepuffian on some days, though heart and soul, I am a Ravenclaw. I could use a good bit more of Slytherin and Gryffindor some times.

3. Reminisce with me about the good old days of Domilie and Dombilie?
AWWWWWWW, the cutest people EVER, seriously! I miss the fandom of S1 of Lost - with Charlie and Claire cuteness, which lead to shipping Dom and Emilie, and where Dom goes, Billy should be too, so let's throw HIM in there, too, and it was so lovely. With such cute fic! I still have all of the manips that literarylemmingdid of Dom and Emilie saved on my computer.

4. Who is awesome-er? Danny Love? Jayne Cobb? Or John Casey?
You are fired. This question is mean.

Honestly, as much as I adore John Casey and Danny Love, my heart forever belongs to Jayne. Now, I know that Adam Baldwin has had more time to settle into the role of John Casey, and I respect that, but JAYNE COBB. He's big, he's tough, he's more then a little self centered...but he loves his mama, and he takes care of his crew, and he's THE HERO OF CANTON. There is no defeating that!

5. Are you doing Nanowrimo this year?
I debated and wibbled and stared at the website so many times..and then lost track of the days and forgot to sign up. Im both disappointed and relieved.

Normally, I lock these under the NaNo filter, but I wanted to show off, so you all get this.

Ghost Hunters – Long Beach by A.M. Riley

If you start this anthology thinking to read something haunting and dark, you would be surprised by the first story, which is almost a sweet romance. James and Rick are best friend since forever, they met when they were still too young to understand what a sexual preference was, and from that moment on they were inseparable. Rick believes in ghosts and James believes in Rick; if Rick wants to go ghost hunting, James is there with him, and so it was for the past eight years. I actually don’t know how old they both are, but due to their “innocence”, I think they are 20-something, so it’s not implausible that they are in that moment of life when they need to take a final and life changing decision. James loves Rick, but he has no courage to come out to his friend, at least not with his feelings. The night before James told Rick he is gay, but he didn’t admit his feelings for him; and since Rick didn’t tell anything, James took that as a rejection, and now he is thinking to give up, to the ghost hunting and to Rick. I think that James didn’t understand that Rick is not a straightforward type of guy and that he probably has no courage himself to come clear with James. But they have a friend in common that maybe will help both of them.

I really loved this story; I have always had a soft spot for young lovers. And the scene where James admits to a “virgin” Rick that he had a sexual intercourse while his friend was away and Rick simply replies that he had noticed a change in him, was so sweet and tender, an admission of love without actually saying the words. I also loved that, all in all, this was not a paranormal story; the only otherworldly event is a nice topping to a more than nice story, I liked it, but it was not essential to the story.

Rousing Caine by Lex Valentine

This story reminded me an old Hollywood movie, not since it was old fashioned but since it faced the “ghost” side at the same way, not giving much explanation and looking at it like another oddity that adds spicy to the love story. Jason was recently dumped by his younger boy toy, a man he met soon after a bad divorce and who was probably only a way to forget that experience. Still, it wasn’t nice to be not only dumped, but also robbed, Chris, the boy toy ran off with his safe money and a priceless painting. And Jason ran off to his beach house to forget. So, when the morning after he awakes with a ghost in his bed, he was probably ready to have an affair without strings attached, and how it could have them when Caine, the man, is already dead? I think Jason takes it so easy since he doesn’t really believe in the story, oh yes, he believes Caine to be a ghost, but he doesn’t believe their story could last. And so troubles come only when both of them start to move on the simple fling and think to the future. More, when Jason realizes that Caine’s feelings are real, and they were so for a long time, that is the moment when all go to hell.

If you consider the love story, the novella is nice. What I’m not sure to like much is Jason’s character; I think he is a bit selfish. Not only he doesn’t try to understand Caine’s reasons, at least not immediately, but even worse, when he thinks to have lost Caine for good, and so he has already done a bad mistake, he even wishes Chris’s death. All right, Chris is not exactly the best of the man, but I think Jason should at least try to understand his reasons, maybe he was a runaway kid, maybe he had inner trouble, and so on. Instead, really, I have the feeling Jason is a bit self-centred. But well, as I always say, it’s better to have an imperfect man as hero than a perfect hero as man, imperfect men are more interesting and usually give better material for a story.

The Day They Closed The Iguana by A.M. Riley

There are light and funny ghost stories and there are very sad one. A.M. Riley tried both; her first story in this anthology was funny so I should have probably guessed than the second would have been not. Billy is a more than thirty year old former wanna-be-actor, not old fashioned theatre owner with ghost attached. The story is not clear, but probably Billy was in love with Seth, Seth was in love with the idea of being an actor and then he died. Since Billy is now thirty, and we are talking of something happened more than 10 years before, Billy and Seth had to be very young, probably Billy’s first love. And you never forget your first love. So Billy spent all his twenty-something year to mourn for Seth, and it was also quite impossible to forget him, when his ghost was there to remind Billy of who he lost. But years passed and nothing changes and Billy realizes that if he doesn’t do something, he will spend the rest of his life alone, if not for a ghost who is not able to warm him during a winter night.

Enter Frank from Montana. Frank is gentle, caring, down to earth and very real. He reminds me of a movie I love, Bus Stop, where a wonderful Marilyn Monroe is sidetracked from her path towards the glittering lights of Hollywood, from a very handsome and very pushing Montana ranch owner. Billy is Marilyn Monroe, he is already in Hollywood, so that is not his impossible dream. The impossible dream is his love for Seth, and instead Frank represents the today, the now, the possibility. He is maybe not the lost dream of his youth, he is maybe not so striking and perfect as Billy reminds Seth to be, but he is real. Now Billy has to decide if continuing to live with his dreams, or being sidetracked in Montana.

Black Candle Reader by William Maltese

I actually don’t know if all the facts in this novella happened by night, but that was the feeling. At the beginning I didn’t understand if I was reading a series of short independent stories or what: there were different characters, two male escort, the narrative voice, without name (an Afro-American hustler) and his lover Jeremy; a clairvoyant, Kenneth, who is eager to have finally a contact with a human body and not with ghosts; a forty-something man, Talon, who thinks he has to pay for his father’s sins; a young hustler, Sammy, who is dreaming a better life; a serial killer, without name. Their stories seem disconnected if not for one thing they have in common, the sex. And the crazy but nevertheless meaningful flow of words that is a William Maltese’s story. This time actually, it’s a little less sex-centred, to be more scaring (I don’t find sex scaring…); this story is darker, and sadder. I actually felt real sorry for one of the above character, and maybe even for another one. Not really for the third of them who will not arrive at the end of the story. The Love Me Dead of the title in this case is not the love for a ghost, but the crazy love (and not the kind of good crazy of above) which brings to death half the men we are introduced at the beginning.

The previous three stories where not at all scaring and most of all romance, with various degrees of that, and instead Black Candle Reader is probably more horror than romance. I kind of find romantic Jeremy and “I”’s love, not a typical sweet and rose love, they are, after all, male escorts still on the job, but I think “I” is looking after Jeremy, and they are only waiting a good time to retire and being an old fashioned couple aging together in a nice cottage. Or maybe I’m trying to paint in pink the darkness of the story… but still, there were sometime, during the narration, that between cum and candles, I really read Jeremy as an innocent boy at play, and “I” an odd knight in shining armour.

This week, Ray Langston will be on all three shows for a CSI crossover. Poor Lawrence Fishburne having to deal with a subpar actor like David Caruso. I didn't watch it last night (CSI: Miami), but I'm sure I can catch up when I watch CSI:NY tomorrow night.

Oh I just read that Fishburne and Caruso are good friends.

I've just written a 1600 word story in pretty much an evening.

I don't know how it happened either! I just sat down and just typed for heaven's sake. I simply had the thought 'how did Georges find out about and cope with Jean-Michel?'.

Sure it needs a bit of editing on my part before it goes to beta but... HOLY CRAP! 1600 WORDS IN THREE HOURS!!

So, anyone up for beta'ing a 1600 word, gen story, no real knowledge of canon needed (if you know the synopsis of the show - you have it pretty much sewn up)? Be more than grateful if I could get this posted by month end (so I can at least share *something* from my mini_nanowrimo experience.

All I can offer in return is my undying gratitude and full credit. Help? Please?

Farscape is finally being re-released on DVD next Tuesday for reasonable prices! This sadly leaves me with a decision to make. Considering that I've been looking to get Farscape on DVD since my first viewing of the series I am very happy that it's coming out but I have to decide, do I get it now from DeepDiscount.com or do I wait and hope that they have one of their 20% off sales and get it cheaper or do I wait and see if Amazon.com puts it on-sale sometime soon? What to do, what to do?

Also Star Trek comes out next week as well!

Brilliant. The fashion in this video is impeccable & the dancing is so weird it's intriguing. Man, this woman is unstoppable. All of her videos have been on point, her singles have all gone top five and her album is great and the re-release is shaping up to be even better. I'm hooked on Gaga right now, the woman is on fire! The video is hot! And while Paparazzi is still my favorite Lady Gaga video, this isn't too far behind. Job well done to Lady Gaga and the director, Francis Lawrence. Lady Gaga is delivering some of the best videos I have seen in years. Brilliant.

One of the finest learning tools of the technological age, the Children's Television Workshop's brilliant educational TV show Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary today.

I grew up on the show, as it's heyday matches my own youth. So many other formative teaching television has come and gone--The Electric Company, Schoolhouse Rock, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood--but after four decades, Sesame Street not only endures, but thrives.

In the words of Kermit the Frog, "Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

The Book: Scott Faraday is sixteen and has no idea that his world is about to radically change. Scott is fun-loving, in a small-town rock band, and out—but only to a select few.

Isolated in a high desert town, Scott doesn’t know anyone else who is gay. When Ryan St. Charles, a troubled 17-year-old, moves to Yucca Valley, Scott’s world tilts on its axis.

Ryan is a brash seventeen-year-old who has just severed a long relationship with a man, but still considers himself straight. As Scott and Ryan’s friendship develops, Scott begins to suspect that Ryan might be covering up that he’s gay. When Scott comes out to Ryan, their friendship is transformed into his first real relationship.

Tightly focused on these two characters, Desert Sons follows the thoughts and emotion of the ups and downs of a young adult gay relationship. Filled with first-time wonder, teenage angst, and the swirl of emotions that can only be expressed by youth, readers are pulled headlong into a highly-charged drama.

“In Desert Sons, Mark Kendrick has provided all the ingredients of a good book: solid characterization, a compelling story, and a skillful evocation of place. All in all, Desert Sons is a wonderful read, realistic and moving. Highly recommended.”—Guy Willard, author of Foolish Fire and Mirrors of Narcissus

The Author: "I remember being fascinated with pens at an early age. That was just about the time I learned how to write in cursive. The fact that a pen would put a permanent mark on a page, as opposed to a pencil, which could be erased, was intriguing. I sought to make sure that what I wrote would be permanent and legible.

Fourth grade was a pivotal period in my young life. I was enrolled in one of those experimental 'open concept' schools that year. Although they were a failed educational experiment nationwide, the concept worked on me like no other grade before or after. I took my first Spanish class then. It stuck. I read my first SF book then. It's a genre that I still read and can't get enough of. I learned how to read a map. That came in very handy once I became a Boy Scout. To this day I have a fascination with maps. We did those SRA Reading Labs modules that year, too. Boy, was I hooked on reading because of them. I wrote my first imaginative story. My life was never the same when I realized that my imagination was restless, was overflowing, and needed a voice.

I started out writing one page creative stories that had little audience (they were very imaginative, but extremely childish). In 6th grade I wrote a stage play and acted in it, too. I didn't take to acting but my imagination was on fire. Shortly after my 15th birthday the poetry Muse visited and refused to leave. She stayed with me for over 20 years. I ended up writing 15 volumes of poems (count 'em: hundreds). In high school I co-wrote a play, again which I acted in. I was also the co-editor of, and contributor to, a student creative writing anthology which sold out. Although poetry was my main creative outlet for years, always in the back of my mind a couple of novel length ideas were incubating.

Despite the fact that I had an imagination that wouldn't quit, I wasn't particularly encouraged to write. Some people have the luxury of supportive relatives. I didn't. If you're one of those people be thankful for that! For encouragement I turned to my creative friends (mostly musicians) who I felt were gods. Some of them knew that one day I would write the novels I knew were inside me.

I eventually went off to college. Thinking that I had to be practical I majored in business with an emphasis on technology. I got into the wonderful world of computer networking and ultimately became a Microsoft certified networking consultant. Spurred into action by a random conversation with an IT co-worker back in 2000, I wondered why I had let my novel ideas languish. Just a few days later I launched Word 2K and went to work. It was as if the floodgates had opened. I had waited so long, had squashed my need to write for way too many decades, that the stories started pouring out." Mark Ian Kendrick

Second, if you are linking to free online downloads of my books, please stop. This isn't like lending your copy of a book to a friend, it's a copyright violation.

Chapter 3 of Sin District Slayer is now at 1,807 words and chapter 4 is at 1,979 words. I thought I was done with chapter 3 but Michael wanted to add some Adora angst.

I took my test on chapter 9 since it was a short chapter and I got one wrong again! ARGH! Now I have a review test and then the midterm. *wibbles* The midterm scares me for some reason. I'm thirteen chapters away from taking the final and then completing the course. After this, I take the transcribing course.

My goal is to start my own transcribing business. *thumbs up*

Hubby had a tough day yesterday. He worked until seven last night. But, it is overtime and we could use it, especially since we need to replace the alternator - which I'll be doing that tomorrow.

My dog is in such a deep sleep, she's snoring. LOL!

EDIT: While working on Chapter 10 of Road to Nowhere, I realized I completely forgot to add in the part where Mason tells Garrett what happened in Central City. Since you know, Chapter 9 ended with Garrett demanding Mason tell him, maybe I should actually add that in. *slaps head*

So, yesterday was Jay's birthday. And because G is still on vacation as far as initial evals are concerned, I had no patients at all yesterday. So I xeroxed all the documents I'd need to mail to Wisconsin, and the two signed contracts were UPS'd to them. I puttered around on the computer, but as it always seems to happen, when I have time I have no ideas. And the few ideas I do have are firmly behind a brick wall.

So I went home. :)

I got a little yellow cake with strawberry filling and proceeded to do the raking that we were going to try to do this weekend. Indy was whining while I was in the front yard bagging some of what Jay had started last weekend, and I couldn't continue. So I proceeded to rake up the entire backyard, minus the area behind the shed. Two hours and thirteen or fourteen piles later, the entire backyard is raked and my back was sore. I did take a bit of a break (which was fortunate, because I was paged just before I went back outside) and I got on the computer as a break. Jay came home, and was pleasantly surprised that he had that much less to do this weekend. And that was what he got on short notice and very little money, because he couldn't tell me what he wanted for his birthday. So he got something practical. :)

And in the evening, we rented the Dragonball movie On Demand, and it was actually good. He's prolly going to put it on his Christmas list.
