A few things have happened since my last post, including that enigmatic American holiday known as Thanksgiving. Although I do find it important to be mindful of gratitude, and while I did go to my friends' house to shove food in my face, the holiday bugs me in that it unfairly portrays the dynamic between the oppressors/invaders and the natives, glorifying some feast that may not have even happened and ignoring the real issue - a bloody invasion. And all the turkeys bok slaughtered for the occasion just drive the aversion home.
It must be said that I am beyond thankful for the wonderful, wacky, sweet and supportive friends I've made in my years here. You guys make the serial rejection of my sets worth it. wink
And right now I'm dealing with some pretty serious shit, such as a friend undergoing chemo (another pet peeve) for her acute myeloid leukemia (that was in remission - and they still pushed the chemo on her) and a whole family drama in the mix. It's her family's drama, not mine, but she is like family to me, so I feel a personal attachment to the drama, and while I would like to go into it in further detail, this may not be the place - and besides, my next book is a sequel to the first, and it would surely take a novel to explain this mess.
Anywho, on to the good stuff:
my holiday CD, Protea, The Osiris Tree. It's dark, it's crazy, and it's up on Ebay. And if you purchased my novella (described in a previous entry) it's 1/2 off if you send me the receipt or thank you note.

Hey swetie I am very sorry to hear about your friend--My brother just got out of the hospital earlier today--He was there for three weeks and they really screwed him up to the point that he left without even signing the discharge papers--And I understand the drama and how you claim it as your own when it involves someone you love :HUGS: I found out a week ago that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (my family and Auto-Immune diseases blackeyed ) and my doctor wants to put me on a massive amount of Prednisone (steroid) to treat it and I told him NO--He was mightily pissed but I have seen what it has done to my brother and I won't go there--I can't believe they forced chemo on a patient who was in remission--That is so ass backwards it baffles every ounce of logic and commen sense in my body--The way America practices medicine (especially on those with cancer) is to nuke it even when many other options are available to them--Anyways I could go on and on but I won't--So what is the title of your first book?--I've been wanting to read it but wasn't sure how to procure it--And as to Thanksgiving I agree--Being half Indian myself has instilled a certain disdain for it especially considering that these days it is only a retailers dream as the start up for Christmas--Well I'm off to "bed"--My families living arrangements right now is quite a downer but I won't comment on it here--You take good care of yourself luv and I send every good thought and love to your friend kiss .
