Luck for you has been wished.

Thanks! I'm fairly certain that I passed! 

So, in the past few weeks, I've germinated a couple of story idea seeds for my own original fiction stuff.  I thought when I started writing Swift as Steel that I'd just get this one fanfic book (wait, no, series) out of my system, and that would be all of the literary creative talent that I had to offer.

 

Nope.  If anything, writing stuff has made me just want to write more stuff.  And the more stuff may eventually become publishable stuff.  I have no idea, but I keep getting the rather distinct impression that Djehuty* is laughing at me.

 

 

 

 

*Djehuty, more popularly known as Thoth.  One of my Three.  The Egyptian god of wisdom, magic, oh and writing.

Kaymth, are you doing NaNoWriMo this year? If not, you totally should! It's amazing how motivating it is. I have countless story ideas floating around in my skull, but can never seem to work up the energy to write them down. Last year I didn't quite reach 50,000 words, but I came super close. Whereas normally it takes me a year to write 50,000 words. 

Just spent five hours studying for midterm tomorrow. Its 1a.m. Brain is mush. No time, complete sentences. Good night.

Oh, and wish me luck.

Please. 

Whattttttt?? Nahhhhhhh.

Didn't they already make Superman evil? You know, the whole "Superman lands in Russia instead of America thing?

Tacitus sipped wine from his goblet. He could feel his blood begin to boil, could practically hear it. How dare she! He looked at the invitation to  Urbain's ball. He had found it stuck in his door that morning, he had to use pewter to remove the blasted thing for The Lord Ruler's sake! Still, no one had been hurt and it was not as if she was threatening his House.

"Dear?" He called to his wife. 

"Yes?" She answered from their bedroom. 

"How do you feel about going to a ball?" 

"I would love to! But first, come here for one moment. I have something to show you." Her voice had gone silky smooth at that last bit and Tacitus rose an eyebrow, intrigued.

"I'm on my way," he said as he stood. 

Who: Tacitus Protegat 

What: Trying for an heir

What if said resistor despises pancakes? 

You get fired, then thrown into Bridge Four!

I went to a used bookstore and bought ten books for 18 dollars. Today has been a good day.

Sooo....... my library has a book sale every Fall and Spring, Hardbacks are a dollar, large paperbacks are fifty cents, and small paperbacks are twenty-five cents. 

I got a lot of books. 

Waiting at the library......for two and a half hours. 

I sense that I will be on the Shard an unhealthy amount in the near future. 

Le girlfriend and I have been playing through the original Halo. She shoots me. A lot. 

I'm beginning to think that it's not on accident....... 

I'm a seeker. Eh, could be worse I suppose. 

Alright, now where did I put that Hemallurgic earring....

Hmm. Seer.  

But if we're talking Wax and Wayne period, then a Thug or a Coinshot.  

"I'm the King of Mars!" 

No, but seriously, wonderful book. I can say with confidence that the Martian is in my top three favorite Sci-Fi books. Admittedly about half the sciencey jargon flew straight over my head, but eh, I didn't really care too much. 

I do prefer my times to be a little more on the weird side of crazy, but hey that's just me. 

You get yourself back! But the machine stole your Breath and now you're a Drab.  Sorry!

Guys, have you heard about the mass flooding in Tacoma? It's insane! I've never seen anything like it, especially around there!

There's been a lot of flooding in Columbia (South Carolina) too, what with the Hurricane and all.  Thankfully it seems like they're starting to get the help they need to get back on their feet. At the risk of sounding like someone's grandfather, I'll say that we live in pretty crazy times.  

I hope no one minds my presumptuousness, but I've put together a potential diagram of lumuole cell mechanics. This is just a suggestion, mind you, so nothing I brainstormed here is set in stone.

 

I'm no cellular biologist, so let me know if there are any glaring holes in the mechanisms I describe below. Also, I've been writing a lot of educational material lately, so apologies if I shifted into lecture mode anywhere in this crudely drawn presentation.

 

I am perfectly okay with this! 

Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately guys, school's been kicking my butt. 

On the subject of pancakes, gather 'round kids and let ol' uncle Warden tell y'all a story. When I was but knee-high to a grasshopper, my younger brother adored pancakes. I mean, if he could've legally married pancakes he would have. And so, like the kind hearted family we are, we obligingly ate pancakes quite a bit. Every Sunday evening after church, in fact. Every. Sunday.   And now I can't stand them! Hooray! Although I do still enjoy waffles. 

I'm also gonna be completely honest. I've never once read Pride and Prejudice, nor have I seen the movie. I haven't even read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. 

But you know what I have read?!?! The first 100 pages of Shadows of Self!!    It's really good you should all go buy it and read it! Kay bai! 

I need help. I have plenty of ideas for animals, but I have no idea what kind of plants I want to populate my steppes. Any bright ideas??

The Fall Anime Season has officially started! Did anyone watched the new anime/episodes?

I'm seven episode into Parasyte. I like it. I like my anime how I like my evil villains, violent and weird. Parasyte fits those categories pretty well! 

I pre-ordered it with Shadow of Self, and now it's on my nightstand. Just. Mocking. Me. I'm already halfway through four other books so I really shouldn't start it......but......it's calling to me. 

I really wish there was more steampunk things in my life. Anyone have some good book/movie/show suggestions?

I am aware that no one mentioned sapient life, I was just stating my full opinion.

Squeeeee. Did anyone else catch the Martian potato reference?? 

But in all seriousness,  I still find it highly unlikely that there is sapient life on mars. I mean, not to burst anyone's bubble but I think we would have seen some sign of them. What with all the poking and prodding we've done up there. 

Still, my fingers are crossed for microbial life/semi-descent (relatively speaking) living conditions for humans!! 

Bruce is so chill. It was a little weird at first, since Bruno and Mollie get excited over everything, and all he wants to do is cuddle. Every time I sit on the floor, he climbs up into my lap. 

 

I think he'll wind up being like Doug the Pug—totally cool with anything, whether it's grinning in front of a cheeseburger or dressing up in a wig. 

Wait, did you actually adopt him!?
