I flew into LA to find it had been raining wile I was in Texas, YAY! My garden needs the water. I was staying smack dab in the middle of Bush country and was pleased to see more Kerry signs than Bush. There may be hope for my kin folk yet.

That's very true! I've never been a weak delicate cowgirl! Thanks for the comments! 
*Ahem* Yeehaw?
*Ahem* Yeehaw?Damn, I fell in crush with a Czech dancer, I'm too damn old and cynical for this but the fact is we clicked and laughed our asses off. It didn't hurt that she was 6' and in heels could almost look me in eye. Being a tall motherfucker I'm not used to seeing eye to eye with many people and almost no women.

Sounds cool.
A good weekend of writing is drawing to an end. A research trip to mexico is rearing its head. Time to investigate the dim world of Ensinada nights. This novel deals with sex trafficing and the conection between Russian mob and mexico. And what we do in the name of getting our rocks off.

I had an English teacher in High School who was dyslexic.
It was easy to see and hear when she wrote or read aloud
in class...
The flip side of this was that she knew the true value of
Literature, for she had suffered much for it's sake.
I don't remember many of my school teachers with any
degree of fondness: of the few I do, she holds first rank.
P.S. A girlfriend of mine realized that only now, upon
reaching the age of thirty, had she finally learn how to
read.
She had been in the university system for some time and was capable of quickly absorbing vast quantities of
information: what she learnt was that only through a
slower read could she experience the deeper beauty
of literature.
She said that she wanted to re-read all of the books
that she loved, because with her new talent, she would
now experience much of what she had missed before.
Just thought this might interest you...Bye.

A alias change was in order, Got tired of taking crap for my lack of spelling from bitchy punk who know how to spell but have not the wisdom to write.
First novel is off in the either, with the agent. Now I'm working quickly on second, mostly to keep from thinking about the fate of #1.

Actually a bridge that was under construction but circumstances halted work in progress ... I think the foundation of mutual trust and respect were established; could be why my phone calls have been returned again and again ....

perhaps one day you can hit up portland on a weekend to catch a show!! 
the day the house of cards fell in we were all sleeping blissfully unaware. Sure it looked like any other day, well except for the cop on lawn hand cuffing our knome.
His lusty laughter to you he loved life. Ah but did it love him back?
That is the truth of love. Is it possible and or healthy to love where none is returned?
What is the real price paid when the artifice of love is bought?
With enough cash and a list of the right clubs, every night can be prom night. But what is...

Thank you for the lovely comments you left on my set. I really appreciated it and it was very wonderful of you!!!
life in sunny california is baking hot! Sweat dripping brain frying hellish weather. I was built for the rain of Dennmark and yet I do love LA, lovely old party bitch that she is.
The melting pot has bubbled over into a wonderful jumbo gulosh, its spicy and vibrant. So I'll take the heat if thats the going price to stay in this kitchen.

Took some hard hits from my editor last night. Licked my bruised ego and went back to work. Writing is the job of baring your soul so that others can coment and judge your deepest secrets.
I love and fear it... and still I keep going.

When dreams comes a tumbling down
Learnin to climb is easy
learning to fall with garce is tough
only in the tumble is true charactor discovered
or discarded
will I stand by my evil lover
or cheap shot her to hell
this is that moment
this is that time
before the sunset shot
and the credit crawl
will I be the stoic
will I cry in pain
will I love
will I
will
And thats what in the end
it comes down to...
WILL...
They will, not mine be done.
