"I'm going to go back there someday"

I tend to get curious who friend-lists me, and why.
So if you have decided to add me to your flist, here is a place you can introduce yourself so I can know you better.

You are not required to post here, but I don't friend people back unless I have some idea who they are.

(If you are already on my flist, you don't have to post here.)

Based on the "unread book meme" below is a current list of all Hugo and Nebula award ( Novels )

Six months not painting was a bit longer than I had planned.

I have five paintings waiting to come out currently

• Medicine Circle Painting, for the middle brother, current version started in 2006, original version started in 1999


• Collage Painting, for the youngest brother, this one will be waiting a bit longer on the back burner


• Figure Knotwork #4 (temporary title), Not yet started


• Figure Knotwork #5 (temporary title), Not yet started


• A Portrait of Glen McMullan, I owe Maya a painting from Conterpoint Interfilk Auction, Not yet started

Today I got some more work done on the Medicine Circle Painting. Keeping it simple as I get back into painting. I'm going to need to pick up at least one more canvas at the art supply store.

Figure Knotwork #4 is done in my head, but I still need to work out the pattern of #5

That should keep me busy for a couple of months.

And it ain't me.

About a year and a half ago I was at my best shape
(165 lbs, pants size 32 waist)

Now I don't know if it is from lack of activity in winter, or lazy eating habbits, or stress (gee what stress?) but I am now up to my heaviest weight (185 lbs) and when I went shopping for new clothes 2 weeks ago I was up to a 36 waist.

I need to start walking and bicycling more, and watching what I eat.

Just for fun, the book meme:

Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences (in your own journal!).

Naldeth and Parrail both turned away, sickened, but saw more pirates had come to the stockade to chat apparently idly with the captives.

"Do you suppose many turn pirate just for the chance to dress like whoremasters on market day?" The mage watched a bald-headed pirate in an incongruously lace-trimmed shirt advancing on a meek-looking girl.

Roughly 24 hours from now I am meeting with my lawyer then we head over to the courthouse.

Best case scenario: We can finish it tomorrow, an agreement is reached.

Worst case scenario: She stalls for more time, won't negotiate.

If she doesn't show up at all the Divorce filing is uncontested. If she wants to drag things out and delay she has to show up.

My lawyer tells me that we have a good judge.

I am going to the office now where I will try to at least look productive. I have the whole day off tomorrow.

I'm only 125 posts behind from being at FKO this weekend, however I left my computer at work befor coming on the trip, so I any updates will have to wait for tomorrow

My Preliminary Divorce Hearing is scheduled for April 15th 2008

A side benefit is that I might be able to go to FilKONtario this year.

Type your first name and the word 'believes' (all in quotes) and do a google-search. Then, post the things google thinks you believe. Especially if they strike you as interesting.

A little over a week ago I agreed to post on uncommon topics (it is still open to more questions if anyone is curious)

Just a warning to gospog, and other non-filkers on my list.

A Boston Phoenix Article on Filking finally came out.

A rather well written article as it happens

As I mentioned before My grandmother passed away last ( Friday )

My grandmother (fathers's side) passed away yesterday morning (march 14th). She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a little over 8 years ago, and I hadn't seen her in about 4 years. To be honest I had already accepted that she was "gone" so this isn't a big shock. My primary concern is for my father and mother. The Wake is on Tuesday and the Funeral is on Wednesday. I'll probablly be out of touch those two days.

Fun post First

Today I went to The Boston ENworld Gameday, and it seems a good time was had by all.

It was held at the home of viking_cat and kid_cthulhu and their two Tollers.

The first game of the morning was a Castle Zagyg adventure run by the surviving author. The game was dedicated to Gary Gygax. I played a Gnome Illusionist (/Rogue) and did quite well. In spite of my AC 10 I took no damage. I gamed with (I believe) ShadowDenizen, Bruce K., Zephrin the Lost, Nellisir, Kriskrafts, & Skinnydwarf.

The second game of the day (that I was in) had us laughing nearly nonstop. The players (and their characters) were: Eridanis (Dr. Leonard McCoy of Star Trek); Zephrin the Lost (Jim DiGriz of The Stainless Steel Rat); Anti-Sean (Zap Brannigan of Futurama); Umbran (John Crichton of Farscape); MavrickWeirdo (Maxwell Smart of Get Smart); Nellisir (Ellen Ripley of Aliens); and Thornir Alekeg (Alfred Bester of Babylon 5)

The Premise was "An indestructible device exists on the planet Oxnard, fourth planet in the Rhynarr solar system. Once every eight days this object taps into an alternate dimension and transports a humanoid individual to this world. Nobody knows exactly how the device works, who built it, or what it’s original purpose was. However the ‘Worlds Apart Intergalactic Employment Agency’ is now capitalizing upon the object’s existence by finding employment for whoever the device delivers. They are currently staffing a crew for an intergalactic spaceship."

I need to game more often.

I am depressed; ( Warning: to those who think of me as a cheerful person, this is the other side of the coin )
