By this logic, Michael Bay must have a nurse constantly attending to the IV full of Jack Daniels he has surgically implanted to his wrist.
he doesnt know why he cant hold onto a relationship. Yadda yadda.
Because he's a needy, clingy git?
you are definitely well-shut of this guy, Fen.
I just spent over a hundred dollars on books. I should be ashamed....
BUT I'M NOT!!!!!!
Why on earth should you be ashamed over buying books, JC?
Ever??
So, brace yourselves.
The friend person who set me up with the guy who is now in my past got:
-4 phone calls yesterday. She ignored them and doesnt have VM. She previously told the guy her cell was for emergencies only.
-1 longgg email at work (not pro, dude). Friend did not give me any details aside from long, sad, and to painful to mention actual details.
-soon after the email was fired off, he calls Friend at work. Long sad phone convo ensues. He says he thought things were working out, blah blah, and he doesnt know why he cant hold onto a relationship. Yadda yadda.
Yeahhhh.
Dire.
Good morning Cantina Denizens.
Spent part of the afternoon yesterday at the local Barnes and Noble and am now wondering if I should be cooking up a UF story, a multi-book fantasy epic, or continuing with the tales of Kat and Mouse.
Or this idea for a Bay City cyborg SWAT team.
I liked this also. Yay for the cyborg SWAT team.Or this idea for a Bay City cyborg SWAT team.

Wait, have you gone into guilt mode now? Repeat after me "It's an investment. It's an investment."That's a lot of money to lay out on books, particularly all at one go.
Uber dire.Yeahhhh.
Dire.
Today's, however, takes the cake in REALLY?! questions...

Has anyone told this poor idiot what he's doing wrong, per chance?
I usually manage to keep fairly on top of things in the TBR pile department!
KITTY: "Hi! I'm Kitty, this is Helen and Alex, and we're going to be your bloodthirsty pirates for the day!
HELEN: Not bloodthirsty.
KITTY: What?
HELEN: We're not bloodthirsty
KITTY: Why not? “Hi, I'm Kitty and I'm going to be your polite and considerate pirate for the day” doesn't have the same ring to it.
HELEN: Humor me.
KITTY: Fine! Listen up! Policy change! We're no longer bloodthirsty pirates. We're enlightened pirates who are concerned about the environment and the rights of our fellow man. In the interest of not inflicting too much stress on you, the designated victims, we ask that you please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times, give us everything we ask for, and no one will get hurt."
Thoughts? Too silly?
This is weird as I do not have kids, but somehow she's decided I'm an expert. Maybe because I read a lot.
Speaking of babies....
Isn't Kricket supposed to be induced today if bitty Kricket hasn't shown?
Test complete.
And that's the sound of my brain dumping all requisit knowledge.
To the Wine-Cave, Robin!
People don't like feeling like they're being mean to people.
Are you just dealing with humans? As then you might want to change it to 'fellow beings'. Too silly? I honestly don't think that there's such a thing as too silly. Oh, and if Kitty is female, would she say 'fellow man' or is that part of the joke?
Health and safety conscious pirates is just what literature needs right now, so write on please.
Before I go and start formally asking on the Beta forum, are there any people here that do contemporary/urban fantasy-ish beta reads? I think I've got my first draft about as ready as it's going to get and I'm going to be dropping the first chapter off in SYW soon for people to take a gander at it. Although I should say it's probably closer to Clive Barker/Neil Gaiman than it is to Jim Butcher/Laurell K. Hamilton.
Jim Butcher and Laurell K. Hamilton are nothing alike. Neither are Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman...
Only humans in the story. Designing an alien makes me tired just to think about. I don't want to work that hard on what is essentially a pretty silly story.
