There has of late been little awesome-ness in my world. So, in a fit of boredom this evening I went looking for some.

• I’m not sure a new X-Files movie ten years after the first one is a good idea…but who the fuck cares. I loved Scully and Mulder ten years ago, I’ll love them even more now.
• This article cracked me up. Something I sorely needed. I totally agree about the Holodeck thing by the way. It truly would be the last thing humanity ever invented.
• And finally The Lost Boys 2. Only because the “Two Coreys” could use the work, and I feel like reliving my youth. Yes, a youth wasted on vampire movies, Star Trek, and general geekiness, but youth none-the-less.

I know there’s a lot more awesome-ness out there in the world somewhere, but it’s late and my bed calls. If anyone out there would care to share some piece of awesome-ness they’ve come across please feel free. One can never have too much.

I realize that there are no readers on this blog (mostly because of my erratic posting) but I thought I’d touch base with any one who happens to be stumble on this page and wonder why there are such huge gaps between posts.

Simply put…life has been kicking my ass. Honestly, I’ve gone through more changes in the last six or seven months then I have in the last ten years of me life. I am now a full time working, single mother of three very active boys. I’m trying to write on the side, have some kind of life, and still remember which son needs to be where and at what time. And just to keep things interesting, I do this all while juggling knives; flaming knives.

Okay, not really. They aren’t flaming, just knives.

Seriously though, I would like to apologize to any one who has been checking back occasionally to see if we had any new posts up and swear I will do better in the future.

Some good things are coming up in the next few months that I know I will have to blog about. First off, and most importantly, is World Con. The world SF convention. If the stars align just right, and I manage to sacrifice the right small, furry animal to the travel gods, I might just get to go. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am at that prospect. I’m on the verge of wetting myself just thinking about it.

For the most part though, this blog will probably becoming a dumping ground of sorts for the current novel I’m working on. A place to report progress, and possibley bitch and moan about progress. I know that sometimes reading about writing is just plain dull but I’m afraid it’s who I am and what I do. Welcome to the boredom baby.

I hope that at least someone will find it helpful. If only because they’re thinking “If this moron can write then so can I”. What ever works.

Oh, and on a side note; My partner and I are almost finished working up a new curriculum on creative writing for teens that can be found at Solid Rock Virtual School. It’s probably one of the best and most comprehensive pieces of curriculum we’ve ever put together. And SRVS is a wonderful online school with a wide range of studies. We are both very excited to be working with such a prestigious school.

That’s pretty much my list of excuses for the time being. Let’s see if I can actually pull through on my promises and keep posting. Wish me luck.

George Lucas has been diagnosed with an illness he has apparently battled for years; sequentialits.

This illness has devastating effects on on the victim to either think or create anything in logical sequential order. In extreme cases a sufferer of sequentialits may have trouble being understood by the general public as they flip word order in even the simplest of sentences (perhaps Yoda was a victim as well).

Lucas’ most recent symptoms of said disease is the release of Star Wars: Clone Wars which hits theaters August 15, 2008. If you would like to see a preview of his malady it can be found here.
