More SFWA Fall Out

      No Comments on More SFWA Fall Out

An Open Letter Y’know, it wasn’t too terribly long ago that I used to longingly check the requirements for SFWA membership. Then I decided to go at it on my own (partly thanks to Konrath) rather than tie myself to a business model I see as outdated. This sort of pre-disqualifies me from membership. Never really been so glad as… Read more »

Whereupon a Southern Gentleman Loses His Mind

This has been eating at me for a while, and tonight, I’m getting it off my chest. There’s a site that, in general terms, says, “Fuck the South.” One of the things it whines about is that more government money comes in, than goes out. Which I will now address: – First, remove Social Security, or Florida, from the count…. Read more »

First Round Hockey Predictions — Not Looking So Hot… in two spots.

Picked the Bruins over Detroit — still looks likely. Picked Tampa over Montreal. SHEESH… they might get swept tonight. Picked New York over Philly. Looks good. Picked Pittsburgh over Columbus — woo woo… Anaheim over Dallas — still feeling okay… San Jose over Los Angeles. Feel good about this one. Chicago over St. Louis — this is the second one… Read more »

Sinuses… hate… me.

      No Comments on Sinuses… hate… me.

Saturday and Sunday I was very industrious. I planted a bunch of stuff in the yard and started what could be our best attempt at a garden yet (okay, and our first attempt). I’ve picked some stuff out that is also going to help with privacy with regards to our annoying neighbor (hi Mister Stares Over Here), too. Monday morning… Read more »

Friday Night Links

The Passing of a great man. $174,000 a year isn’t enough for the millionaires in Congress. Yeah. Right. I hope someone runs against him this year and nails him to a tree with this bullshit. A review of the Testosterone Black Book Why should the woman get everything? Because sexiss. Pushing back against the bullies. I’m writing this post in… Read more »

Linkage.

      No Comments on Linkage.

Nothing Personal. ATF targets mentally challenged — so, themselves? (Yeah you get jokes like that when you give guns to MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. Even BOYD CROWDER isn’t that crazy.) Tar, feathers, asshole cop — some assembly required. I’ll be honest, I’m linking to this for the picture at the top. Classic. Best book title ever. A wake up call. And… Read more »

Looking Isn’t Attacking.

      No Comments on Looking Isn’t Attacking.

Period. That is the only link for today. The woman at Jezebel who is demonizing boys for their inherit sexuality should be ashamed of herself. All the time we hear about how we should accept the sexuality of others. Until it’s a straight man. These guys weren’t touching or attacking. They were looking and that makes them gross little sexists?… Read more »

A Question of Time.

      No Comments on A Question of Time.

Prepare for a bit of geekiness. Since I was around ten years old I’ve been pretty into Star Trek, with phases where I’ve gotten more or less interested in it. This mostly surrounded the original series and the Next Generation — a bit of DS9, but no Voyager or Enterprise (though I’ve read through the series’ synopsii). Until the reboot,… Read more »
