I am on chapter 27 of 29 of my book. There will be one more rewrite after this, then copy editing changes. Goal is to have Chapter 29 done by June 2, (Thursday midnight). Then the serious rewrite by 9/30/11. Then have it out by 11/1/11 so I can start Nanowrimo on the next set of stories.Wish me luck! So far, 80,000 words and counting.

Well, we went ahead and did it. We started an Etsy shop called Cholotto Arts. Our first items features crafts by our friend Heather McDonald and hand-drawn cards by none other but our own Bratworse - Westina Basilotto! Every week, I'll put up a new card. This one is titled "Birthday Cupcake Card 1". If you like it, you can order it with the name you choose, lit up by candles.

... After the first two drives of the Raiders/49'ers Hue Jackson drew up plays for the first 30 plays or so. The first drive used up 13 plays. The second drive used up 12 plays. Jason Campbell look completely lost after the first row drives. What does this tell me? Jason Campbell is a stage actor not an improv actor. He only does well when he has memorized his lines and if the opposing team

It's been a really long time since I've written. Life has a way of getting away from me and this past year, life zoomed away with me along for the ride. R'wick is now nearly a year old and big, and Bratworse and I just love him to bits.This morning, as I struggled with my sinus infection/cold, I blew out what was a fairly solid chunk of mucus. It was fascinating to me how 1) big it was; 2) how

R'wick had his first class tonight at the Oakland Dog Training Club. It was a great success. I am so proud of him that he didn't bite a single dog. He and this german shepherd dog really hit it off, we think. We also ran through some agility lessons and he did really well. Most of the dogs there were 4 months old. He was one of the youngest there, and one of the most excited. He just

We got a dog. Can you tell? Yes, it's been quite a while since I wrote on here, but life has been quite interesting, so much so that, to share it here would violate some confidences. However, I can share that we got a dog. A husky to be specific. Why? Call it a whim, but man, has this whim paid off! Meet R'wick. See the picture of him on the blue cushion? That's him at seven weeks when

A person is quitting the group insurance to get individual right now. Getting the individual plan would save her $12 a month. It's the same EXACT friggin' plan.Just because of this savings, the person will waste a bunch of administrator's time (NOT DOCTORS) just to save $144 a year. And this process will probably repeat itself next year, wasting more time and money.What, you thought your

A client's employee moves out of state to expand their business. The employee goes to a doctor about 3-4 times in the new state, making sure to visit a doctor that was under the company's carrier. Employee gets a bill for $3k. Why? (Here comes the inane part)Carrier considers anything out of state, including its own doctors, out of network and therefore nothing applies. They generously have

I've been completely immersed in my own little world for a good while now. Making connections with shared realities has been somewhat of a stinging slap. I'm only starting to experience it as that perfectly placed bite on my ass... I am not yet able to handle large doses. I find myself having to come up for air more frequently.  The interrupted moments of pollution are starting to leave their

"If an employer fully funds your copays (as in it won't cost the employee any money to get medical services), why then the employees would see doctors all the time!"This is being taught to a group of brokers right now. How this makes sense to these whiteys, I've no idea. Oh yes EVERY one can take time off ALL the time to get frivolous doctors visits. What world are these people on? Just cause

My fingers are stained, covered in the sticky essence I've begun to crave. My mind was painted long before my tongue finished its caress. My skin is tortured by the anticipation of attention. My eyes ignore boundaries and stare. You in green, I'm full of verve. You are a secret, only my smile knows. You paint a dream, I'm addicted. You are forbidden, only my temptation grows. They won't

Bratworse and I have been taking walks around the neighborhood recently. See, we'll be going on a trip soon that requires a ton of walking so I've been a tad fearful I wouldn't be able to keep up.To help motivate me to go on these walks, I've been taking photos with my camera. Photos that are designed to help inspire Bratworse's paintings. I present my neighborhood and Oakland Zoo's flora!--

It's the land of a thousand eyes. Each one with it's own dream. Like the interrogation's bright light, they apply the pressure of sight. They have their secret code. The one they dangle just out of my understanding. Playing true to my curiosity, they tantalize me with what could be. I'm their puppet with no strings. Not merely a blind bird that never sings.  Not for one, for there are two. The

What are Savants? They're people who can do ingenious things. They're creativity knows no bounds. They are more then proficient in either art, music, mathematics, or memory. Tests have been run to compare the brain function of a Savant to an average person. The results showed that in the Savant the areas in our brain, that are associated with our creativity, were extremely active. In the average

A door has been opened, a house that has been there for a long time, but closed has offered to open its door. The neighborhood has awakened. First on the scene is excitement, she's young, naive, she sees pleasure in everything. Hardly thinking past what she can see.

Like a dream, my imagination builds a place for you. Once let in, you take ahold and seldom leave. You become an addiction. A dopamine, receptors built to perfectly fit you. I crave you. Seeking you out, I quake with repressed excitement. You are the secret thrill that fills in the holes of me. Connecting with you, I breathe you in and am captivated. With every moment, you finger a different part

The sun is ablaze and the sky is that calming grayish blue, it looks peaceful and serene. A painted portrait of happiness. It's like a reflection of how I'm feeling.

April Showers. They're certainly present in my life. I have a leather bound journal full of puddles from the storms, past Aprils have wrought. A cleansing of one's life, brought about once a year (at least), that floods the wells that lead to the waters of my mind and wrecks havoc on the bridges and housing I've built. Am I just a capsule, replicating nature? As time passes a new season begins

Look at me, aren't I spiffy-looking? I'm a three-seater, reclining sofa and I've been in this home for about 6 months. Before that I lived in a warehouse. This couple that allows me to live in their living room is nice to me, but I'm looking for people who can keep me warm better.

Bratworse and I did some redecorating this past weekend for Black-Eye Pea. I really liked the way we did our design this time.

Remember that at the beginning of March, I asked Citimortgage aka Shittimortgage to correct what THEY had sent in to the credit bureaus? Okay, to refresh your memory, 2-1/2 years ago, we got into a dispute with Shittimortgage. We had thought we made all our payments that year but due to changing banks and whatnot, we had actually missed a payment. We got into a dispute with them, then realized

Some of you know that I've gotten heavily into Facebook recently.I'm connecting with old friends, some from my childhood, some from my early career jobs and well basically from all walks of life. (When I start to think about all my friends who DON'T Facebook, it really starts astounding me just how many people I've connected with in the course of my life.)However, what I've come to realize it,

The appraisal we had gotten was missing some information so my broker gets in touch with the guy who did the appraisal. Turns out the poor man had a stroke and of course couldn't fill out the missing parts.So NOW, we have to get a different appraiser, have them come to the house and inspect it and now, with prices falling so much between Jan. and now, I wonder if the places nearby are still

Around December 16th or 17th, I talked to a mortgage broker about refinancing. Told him our situation: I have a condo, very little left in the mortgage, my wife has student loans about to be due and I have a ton of equity in the house. Adding it all up, the broker was ecstatic. This was a gimme. Our mortgage is about less than 1/7th of what our place is worth (I bought in 1993 and never

I've decided on making Myths 5 days a week instead of 7 for after all, why was Sunday and weekends invented?I would appreciate any feedback whatsover but since there's like two people reading this, I shan't expect any.

Bratworse was asked to do a small silhouette of a male and female for her internship. She's despairing because well she feels she has to do a bang-up job for this, this being her internship. Me, I hear the words "small" and "silhouette" and I'm thinking, oh, like anyone is going to be able to tell from a SMALL silhouette what gender it is.So knowing that my honey's having a bad day (there's

Twin ParadoxChapter OneFrom the second Quiyus felt the orgasmic thrust of Majaks, the Goddha of Land, Air and Water inside Quiyus' still-female form, It knew this union would have physical consequences. And though Quiyus, the Goddha of Creation, Destruction and Maintenance had reverted back to a genderless form, within days the result of the coupling between the first Goddhas of the world showed

Two Goddhas are Better than OneChapter OneQuiyus, the Goddha of Creation, Destruction and Maintenance distracted Itself from the unusual pairings by making sure no two insects were alike when It heard laughter in the distance. Interrupting Itself, Quiyus went to inspect the source of the laughter. Where Quiyus walked, one foot would leave destruction in its wake whereas the other foot would

But It sensed the chaos might undo all that It beheld and felt Itself begin to transform.Reaching out with Its being, It left a bit of Itself inside Everything

How the Land, Air & Water Came AboutChapter 1As Its first creation, the chicken flitted about Takla flapping and pecking, Takla the Goddha of Nothing, Something and Other, wondered if It should create Something more out of the Nothing that surrounded It and the chicken. But which Something should It create? Takla floated in the Nothingness consumed by this weighty question that seemed to beg a

I'm trying out a new story and it involves creating a whole new mythos. I've thrown together a few ideas and will be trying it out here so look for posts under The Myths. The first is a quick parable about how the Godda (that world's version of a God/Goddess) of Nothing, Something & Other creates a chicken out of nothing.This will be the spark that ignites the other stories or in another

Myth 1: The First CreationIn the beginning, there was Nothing and Takla felt empty. Would Nothing fill this emptiness, It thought for the first time as the emptiness finally threatened Its very sanity. A scary thought filled Its mind as It pondered for a fleeting second if sanity had already taken hold and all that was about to happen was a moot point. Takla shook the thought off as It

For about half a year, we've had a hard time getting a castle drawbridge bubbler to work in our tank properly when it finally tilted the right way.

This past weekend, I visited WonderCon - it had been my first time since 1999? 2000? Maybe as late as 2001? The old skin was probably ill-fitting for the most part, but on the other hand, the joy with which greetings were exchanged seemed to indicate that no one seemed to notice. Perhaps politeness on their part but perhaps my hasty apologies about working for "the man" let them know the

However, when she was seen by the doctor, she was told that the rabies shot ISN'T kept there, there is none there, and she will have to go to emergency services, which she does, and gets her rabies shot there.Fast forward to a month later when she receives a bill for

So, we've been applying for a new loan - to cover the student loans that are about due for Bratworse. We were supposed to get money before Jan. 31st, but our loan broker was apparently not very aggressive in chasing down some documents and so it came about that we fired him and found another.Well, just yesterday, our new loan broker called and said the paperwork will go in tomorrow.

One of them tells me to keep the plan going even though there are layoffs because well, the people need their healthcare. The other one tells me to cancel

Ugh! I made calls to both Boxer and Feinstein saying Kick Lieberman out of any leadership positions. Nothing says "WUSS!" more than being kicked and then saying "Here's your reward for kicking me." I wish Barbara Lee was my Senator and not these two. I hope there's a better choice for Democrats in our primaries for Senator next times. Damn it, I wanted retribution against Lieberman!

So, after several people had asked if I was on Facebook, after watching Stephen Colbert tease Jon Stewart about being out of it... I succumbed to the forces of conformity and signed up.The first thing that popped up upon signing? Alison Blanchard's face greets me and wants to be my friend. Awwwww!So not being able to resist a gorgeous red-head, I accepted of course. Well! Numerous faces

I've been looking at Idealist ever since this proposition was called, asking her why? Numb with shock at what happened. It's been hard for me to understand. Months into our marriage certificate and we're reminded just how much a dream it is. I had a really difficult day, cliched bittersweet. Proposition eight passed, they interrupted my dream. I cried on the phone to Idealist, to Verve, to

So Ranger Robb and I were watching Monday Night Football and discussing politics, as any two good leftist dykes are wont to do and we got to the discussion of Joe Lieberman otherwise known as Stinkpot, Asshole, and various other apt labels.Ranger Robb wanted to see Lieberman stripped of everything. I did too, but then I told her the latest news I had heard earlier that day - that Obama was

Both Bratworse and I gasped when Barack Obama mentioned gays in his acceptance speech.This is how much of a second class citizens we are - that the MERE mention of us by our president-elect would send streaming tears down my face.My exact thoughts at that moment were: Did he just... OMG! He did! He included us. Bah! If only he had come out AGAINST prop 8 instead of that lammo ad with Diane

1) I wonder how the cities and counties of California feels about Prop 8, knowing that one of their FEW GROWING REVENUE STREAMS is about to dry up. Can you imagine what those cities and counties were feeling when the Supreme Court of CA decided to overturn the gay marriage ban? At a time of shrinking budgets, a sudden manna from heavens of a sort, dropped down on them with money to spend on

Well, just as hope overflows with our tears of joy, we mingle them with tears at sadness at the vindictiveness of Christians, Mormons and other folk who just wants to inflict their morality on others.We went to bed exhausted, and filled with dread at the prospect of our marriage being disintegrated for that is what this act does, it disintegrates this piece of paper that legalizes our joining

So we left our house about 7:05 this morning to cast our votes. There were about 20 something people in front of us and by the time we left, the line built up to about 30 or 40 behind us. I was 24th in my precinct and Bratworse was 26th in our precinct to vote. There was a dyke in front of us who was ebullient. She was talking with a black couple. Behind us was a young Jewish woman with a 6

This week, I attended a clinic for Asthmatics. I'm really glad I did. I was given slightly stronger medicines, and hope.The doctor, literally a giant of a man (he's 6'8") told me that not enough research has been done, but that he's seen worse cases than mine recover to near normal levels. So far, the medicine I'm on seems to be working better. I'm finally sleeping through the night (as is

Aha! Now I get what the republicans' pattern is. 1. Convince people that privatizing is good. 2. While privatized, rake in all the money while the going is good. 3. Bankrupt the private business. 4. Government steps in and takes over. 5. Government stabilizes business and starts making profit. 6. Repeat step 1.

Watching and listening the last couple of days, I'm finding myself agreeing with those who say that "McCain = more of the same" isn't enough. You see, you have to get under McCain's skin. Lose that famous temper of his. What'll set it off quicker is by saying he is *much* worse than Bush. You see, he has nothing but disdain for Bush. And by saying he's worse, it will get under his skin

Best quote of the convention so far:John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush more than 90% of the time...that's not a maverick, that's a sidekick.Thanks, Senator Casey.

Bratworse came home last night (Yay!) but she's really pissed at me for some reason and I've no idea why. Plus on top of that, my asthma's been acting up again and that's been stressing me out a lot. I can feel bags under my eyes, I want nothing better than to crawl under my desk and curl

Last week, I spent a very very nice time with my young two year old friend, the Future Snowboarder. When I walked into her house, the first thing her mother told me was she was potty-trained! Followed by instructions to take the FS to the potty, of course. Well, after we visited the bathroom, the FS asked if we could play in the bedroom instead of going out to the living room. So off we went
