Frankly frankly frankly frankly frankly.

Frankly, I could use a thesaurus.

Therefore, hence, and thus I agree. However.

The Fluening is upon me. About once a year, I get Sick. Not sick, Sick. Chest cold, head cold, though thus far this year I thankfully haven't gotten an inner ear infection. Those are the worst.

I'm pretty lucid right now. A pretty large chunk of the time spent in my disease state is filled with dreams that border on hallucinations. It's kinda like an...

I hope you feel better.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Hope you're feeling better... or not better I guess if you enjoy finding your random creative writings. wink

Shit, didn't realize I still had that month-old doom-and-gloom post up. Update: she's doing fine, she's got a new doctor who is taking a more careful approach to the diagnosis, and one thing has become clear: no popcorn for the nieces. Looking over the food diary (my sister is a goddamn genius, I'd have never thought of a food diary and her doctors apparently didn't...

Happy Birthday
hyatt:
Hope you had a good birthday. smile

Glad she's doing better. It's a shame our bodies are so sensitive to everything. Everyone seems to have idiosyncratic health problems, myself included!

There's a pretty distinct sinking feeling associated with being told that your niece is on morphine for pain. I mean, this is a tough kid. Last year, she cracked her wrist, and my poor sister didn't notice until a few days later when Rosalyn mumbled something about having to carry her books with her other hand. She just doesn't complain (at least, not about pain),...

SHIT! I am also sorry for everyone and have the same questions as Waldo.

Wishing her well for them figuring out what is wrong, and it having a straightforward solution.

Swapping out an old video card for a shiny new one, I remarked that the old one's connection ports are situated such that one must make a blood sacrifice in order to connect the damn thing to the motherboard. This stands to reason, because blood is red, and red is faster. It overclocks the GPU with the user's precious life essence.

I have been coding...

Go another two or three more days with little or no sleep and the song "I'm A Little Tea Pot" is the funnest thing in the world. I know I have been there. (Go through the motions when signing too it adds to the fun.)

The world we are born in is not the world we see. The world we die in is the world we deserve.

I hadn't heard of Barry Hughart. My first thought was he sounds like a glass half empty kind of guy, but I googled him instead. Glad I did: I just bought the Kindle edition of The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox. Thanks.

Thanks for the love on Raw sugar!

Everybody's got one; here's mine. Might have posted this before, don't feel like digging to find out or to figure out which details have changed in my memory.

We were at MPRC, which is a big, permanent field site, exercises at which were almost like a vacation (at least for HHQ), especially in comparison with the usual tent-and-MRE crap. It had barracks with bunks to...

Fable has strong shoulders that can carry far more truth than fact can.

Some of what I write has no more connection to my experiences than the fact that I'm writing it. The story I'm working on now is more or less a transcription of events, couched in enough imaginary stuff that I'm able to get it out cleanly. That's a lot of why I...

Hahaha. Too fucking true. Apparently I can't be melodramatic on my blog without receiving a bunch of 'there-there-it's-gonna-be-ok's. Guess it was always going to happen. Haha. Can't anyone appreciate a good rant anymore?

Here's an answer to the question then that you probably don't care about anymore: I say, tell it how it really happened. Expose the failure, but don't relate all the shame you felt because all those feelings don't represent an objective reality anyway. Let the imaginary reader interpret the scenario. As for the others, show their lowest moments, but in light of the people they have previously shown themselves to be.

Well that's what I reckon. And yes, I'll be quiet now if you want. tongue

I saw you read that new Punisher book. Did you pick up,the new issue? Its just like the first. Frank doesn't say a word. Rucka paints the bride as a survivor of the massacre so shes similar to Frank.
