Let The De-Stressing Begin!

[heystacy]

Ahoy hoy!



About time! Now I have to wait till I get home to read it :mad:

Chapter 10 better be ready too! :tongue:



See ya! Have fun tonight!

Grateful as usual. :tongue: Ten will be here when it gets here. :tongue:

[beetlebum]

Please disregard. I was being all drama queeny. If anyone was offended: you do have my remorse and regret.

[heystacy]

Hey guys.

Allow me to vent first and say that I really haaaaattteee it when I give so much of myself, only to get nill in return.

Or when I'm kind and courteous to someone, and they return the favour by calling me sad and pathetic in return.

So yeah, it does hurt and make me mad.

It just brings up the old emotions, and rips open old wounds from the past.

Anyways, now that's off my chest.

Let's move onto happier things.

I'm off to read CSI:YABS now Stace. Love ya. :cool: :smile:


(((HUGS))) BB. Hope u feel better. :smile:

[beetlebum]

Thanks Stace. I loved CSI YABS.


I loved how you had Kat naive, and talking like a SuperFriends era Wonder Woman.

I also loved how irascible you were, and the reference to the "golden shower" left me LOLing.

The best part of the fic?

When you said the rhyme that encompassed Darth Vader, Manfaye and Adrian Paul.

I was laughing my ass off.

Thanks. :biggrin:

[Ninja Kris]

Who insulted you, Beetle Bum.

[heystacy]

:tongue:

How's it going?

Agent Temptation... Things are cool. I wanted to relax and I am. About to go fix myself a sandwich.

[Bo Bo]

Who insulted you, Beetle Bum.

:eek: The person is as good as dead now! :eek:

Cool. Play anymore paper mario?

[heystacy]

:eek: The person is as good as dead now! :eek:

Oh yes. Also playing Beyond Good and Evil. I may add another game in, but I do have to start my reading for class. :frown:


What are you up to?

[Bo Bo]

Oh yes. Also playing Beyond Good and Evil. I may add another game in, but I do have to start my reading for class. :frown:

Beyond Good and Evil is awesome! Add that other game, you can always read later....

As for me, I'm working. And by working I mean waiting til it's 5pm for the long weekend ;p

Online class means I need to be vigilant. Otherwise my grade suffers. :tongue: I can play and have fun. Although today I will have more fun than work.

I want Sunday off, but alas I have to work. :mad:

Responsible? Shut yer mouth! :tongue:

I got another 4day weekend coming up. :p :D


Good for ya! :biggrin: Have fun.

[beetlebum]

I've got the whole entire summer off now that I'm a waster!

:biggrin:

Seriously, enjoy your four day weekend Bo. :cool:

[Bo Bo]

Good for ya! :biggrin: Have fun.

Thanks, even if it's spent wasting away on videogames, it'll be worth it :)

I've got the whole entire summer off now that I'm a waster!

:biggrin:

Seriously, enjoy your four day weekend Bo. :cool:

I wish I had the whole summer off ;)

Since I have a long weekend coming up, I have some extra free time. Any suggestions on what we can do? :evilsmile:

[Tommy]

That's quality time man. :cool:

[Bo Bo]

Watch Weeds, it is AWESOME!

Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out.

[Bo Bo]

Mow the lawn? :confused:

Ok, that wasn't the answer I was looking for. I was thinking something fun we could do together....

[beetlebum]

Play chess? Watch re-runs of The X-Files? I'm confused here...:confused:

[Ninja Kris]

Went home early, not feeling well.

Tempted to read Final Crisis, just to comment on the thread. Give an opinion from someone who doesn't read comics.

Might insult the fanatics there. Might not be worth it.

[Bo Bo]

Play chess? Watch re-runs of The X-Files? I'm confused here...:confused:

Chess, me!?! Just thinking about that is giving me a headache.

I was thinking something a little more, physically demanding.....

[beetlebum]

Hope you feel better, Kris!

Boo, hope you feel better soon!

Riding bicycles? Aerobics? I don't get it...:confused:

[Bo Bo]

I was thinking something indoors (well mostly :evilsmile: ).....

[Ninja Kris]

I was thinking something indoors (well mostly :evilsmile: ).....

Bree will be home soon. I'm covered. In a figurative and literal sense.

Read both issues of Final Crisis. Also read Secret Invasion. In my opinion, Secret Invasion much more understandable. Final Crisis has more ideas in it, better art, but inaccessible to a non comics reader. Not much explained. Possibly a great story if you know the details. Might read better in a trade. Secret Invasion more enjoyable to me.

Also went over the thread again. Appears posters do not wish to hear an idea opposed to their own. Very closed-minded. Not worth telling them a non-comics readers opinion. They would get their panties in a bunch over it if it disagreed with their own ideas.

Cool, I think I'll still just get the story from articles on the interwebs for both. But thanks for the commentary.

Yeah, political threads are bad, comics threads can be up there too sometimes! It kind of silly though cause your input would bring an actual case of a non-fangirl perspective, instead of guessing how it looks.

Glad only sane people post in here.

(Something seems off when I wrote that last sentence)

[John Hays]

I've got the whole entire summer off now that I'm a waster!

:biggrin:

Seriously, enjoy your four day weekend Bo. :cool:

What's a waster? Is that like being wasted?

[Ninja Kris]

Hey Kris. Hope you feel better. :smile:

Thanks. Just feel sick. Flu, perhaps.

Breebree just got home. I have her hooked on Joan Baez, the Commodores, and ELO. Might actually get her to know something about music.

Might be promoted to full manager. Our real manager is never here. Corporate might kick him upstairs. Or fire him.

WOW.....finally found another ELO fan! Nice! Do you like the Moody Blues? That's my favorite band.

[Bo Bo]

Sweet, hope you get that promotion! :biggrin:

[beetlebum]

John: Waster is a person who layabouts and doesn't do much.

(Or I could have told you to look in the mirror......) :evilsmile:


And Kris, I ♥ you so much for your comments and just being there. You totally deserve to be promoted to full manager.

(And yes, I am partially saying this because I'm still scared of you....)

And Bo, whatever our activity is--it'll cost you extra. :biggrin:

I'm going to log off for now.

Peace out, homies. :cool:

[Ninja Kris]

WOW.....finally found another ELO fan! Nice! Do you like the Moody Blues? That's my favorite band.

I like all kinds of music. Don't have a favorite band. It's Bree who likes ELO now that she knows who they are.

I like the Moody Blues. Know I downloaded some to the dork.

When she walked in, was listening to Linda Ronstadt on her iPod. Her brother thought the cat was crying.

Haha...get her hooked on some Cat Stevens and America! Little doctor beatnik!

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Yay~~~~

I have inspiration and creativity! :D

Hey all. ^__^

[Bo Bo]

Yay~~~~

I have inspiration and creativity! :D

Hey all. ^__^

WOOHOO!!!

So in which way will you use this inspiration and creativity?

and ahoy hoy! :biggrin:

[heystacy]

Yay~~~~

I have inspiration and creativity! :D

Hey all. ^__^

hey Gladdy. Awesome. What are you going to do with your creativity?

[Ben Morgan]

I started watching The Office. Tis a good show

[Ben Morgan]

No one says anything about this thread reaching 1000 pages.... for shame..... :frown:
It's around 750 pages for me.

Who insulted you, Beetle Bum. It was Jack, now kick his bearded face!

[Ninja Kris]

I hate the flu. :frown: Full manager? Is it a good thing for you?

More hours, more money. End up doing about as much as I am now. The company will probably ship someone here from elsewhere. Odds are slim that I'll be promoted.

Haha...get her hooked on some Cat Stevens and America! Little doctor beatnik!

I know she has both now.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

WOOHOO!!!

hey Gladdy. Awesome. What are you going to do with your creativity?

Write a sort of-intro for a story I've been world building for a while now, though I've not finished that bit by a long shot. But I thought since an idea for an intro came to me right now I may as well write it when I can. :smile:

At one time I'd entertained the thought of turning it into a comic, since my drawing ability is lacking...

Sounds cool.

And now I have another talented yabser to be jealous of....

I know she has both now.

Wow, I'm impressed!

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Boo, well I'm still hoping you get it.:smile:

I'm hardly talented! :eek:

C'mon, I'm trying to write a potential novel series, and most of the time I can barely write 100 words in one sitting. :redface:

I just get seemingly awesome ideas, that doesn't mean I can write them. ^^;

Just remember, though when you hit it big, that I told you so...:tongue:

i'm glad you fell better.
Sound like you should be promoted.easier to promote someone who already do the job.

[Hybrid2]

15 minutes before i leave to see Wall-E!

[Sabrinaset]

Bree went to work.

Time to hide her socks.

All right, Kris! Where's you hide 'em!

[Ben Morgan]

They're at Lester's house.

[Sabrinaset]

They're at Lester's house.

Why's Lester wearing my clothes? :eek:

[beetlebum]

I foresee another Carthoon in the future! :biggrin:

You should post these ideas on the Rotton Apples Website! Where, like, we can read them!

[Ben Morgan]

Yes, do a carthoon of Lester wearing Bree's clothes

[Sabrinaset]

Yes, do a carthoon of Lester wearing Bree's clothes

That might be a lil weird!

And they're called CarthToons! :biggrin:

[Bo Bo]

That might be a lil weird!


As opposed to other CarthToons? :rolleyes: :tongue:

[heystacy]

As opposed to other CarthToons? :rolleyes: :tongue:

I don't think Bree's clothes will fit. She's too petite. OMG it would look like a jacked up Hulk.:redface:

[Bo Bo]

I don't think Bree's clothes will fit. She's too petite. OMG it would look like a jacked up Hulk.:redface:

Well if he can fit into Circe's clothes....

You're all saying you want me to wear a bra and other women clothes. And people say I'm sick.:mad:

[Flamebird]

You're all saying you want me to wear a bra and other women clothes. And people say I'm sick.:mad:

But you didn't say you wouldn't do it, hero. :tongue:

He jacked those up, now didn't he? :redface: :frown: :tongue:

[Bo Bo]

Hey stace, how's it going?

Lazy is good. I realize I could never be a super hero. I love loafing too much. :biggrin:

lol, same here. I'd just use my superpowers to finish whatever I had to do quickly, then loaf around....

[heystacy]

lol, same here. I'd just use my superpowers to finish whatever I had to do quickly, then loaf around....

I'd have to have some kind of psi power or teleportation so I can work from a distance and chill. That's what I'm talking about.

[Bo Bo]

Well, I'm off for now, gonna have some lunch, might clean my room, then back to loafing! :biggrin:

[heystacy]

hey, I LIKE the fact that my hours were cut to only 45 for the next few weeks!

[Lester C.]

hey, I LIKE the fact that my hours were cut to only 45 for the next few weeks!

And I liked the fact that you were working more hours and couldn't post as much but now that's no longer the case.:frown:

In other news if you see me with a machine gun don't stay in your car, don't get on your knees and beg, don't run away unless you want to die tired. Really you're only chance of getting away is to drive really fast and hope I miss you with the rocket launcher.

Geez ... have you ever even touched a rocket launcher in real life? (takes bazooka out of the storage cabinet)

[Ben Morgan]

I thought he was talking about real life :eek:

Lester's been playing GTA4 a little too much ... he doesn't realize that I live in California, and GTA is real life here! :eek:

You're a hard worker. :smile: At least you get to breathe some.

[Lester C.]

With all that hot air, I imagine that she'd never out of breath. Now excuse me, I must kill some poor bastards while listing to this song in my car.:cool:

Lester with an apprentice ... maaaaan, I never thought Ben would become Lesters paduwan!

Somethings up with Beetle ... I tease her and she's not responding as much as she should! Hmm ... I better think of something, stat!

[Lester C.]

It past my bedtime so I'm not going to look for the quote where Bree brought up the Lester Comic Con:smile: I just wanted to point out that you need to act fast if you want your ticket to the Adrian Paul and Manfaye mud wrestleing match as I imagine tikets are going to go fast.

[heystacy]

It's been a slow day and I have a lot of work to do, but I wanted to drop by and say "hello." :smile:

[Ben Morgan]

Yes Lester, we are all lining up to watch Adrian Paul and ManFaye mud wrestle.

[Bo Bo]

It's been a slow day and I have a lot of work to do, but I wanted to drop by and say "hello." :smile:

Hey! Why work now when you can work tomorrow!

Yes Lester, we are all lining up to watch Adrian Paul and ManFaye mud wrestle.

:eek:

[heystacy]

Hey! Why work now when you can work tomorrow!



:eek:

This is true. Part of the work though is writing, which I love to do in spite of other things that need to be done. :wink:

[heystacy]

Where is everyone? :confused:

[section 8]

Umm Chicago?

[Sabrinaset]

Where is everyone? :confused:

I just got home! But I'll be sleeping for a bit.

Considering what *I* see on a daily basis, I'm amazed I'm *not* drinking! I mean last night, we had yet another gang fight in the lobby, meanwhile we had a guy brought in whose foot hurt so much he took an axe to it. His wife brought him in, and we had fun reattaching it.

[Ben Morgan]

Weird, I thought you just said your family is a gang.

[Sabrinaset]

Weird, I thought you just said your family is a gang.

Nah, my family is pretty clean. Well, except for the lil bratty brother! He's pretty dirty!

Ummm, why didn't he go to the hospital instead of taking an axe to his foot???

[Sally Sensational]

Moving sucks.

That is all.

I swear I'm going to pack the computers, one suitcase for each of us, and the animals in the car and just burn the rest of it to the ground.

Oh, wait, guess I better grab the picture box, too. And my good china - at $175 a place setting, I'm not real interested in having to replace that.

Crap - I'm just going to have to pack it all up and do the real moving thing, aren't I?

Yep, sadly, no choice but to pack.

I'd gladly help but you know the distance thing, it's just not feasible.

Hello all. :smile:

Hello all. :smile:

Ahoy hoy! Happy Canada Day! :wink: :smile:

[Lester C.]

I just renewed my license. Good god the people at the DMV are scary as hell. All of them are there, and efficient, but there is no life in their eyes. They all speak in a monotone voice and have no sense of humor at all. Lifeless drones.

On the plus side I'm registered to vote. Not that there is any chance in Hell of McCain taking my state, but still I'm going to support the first multiracial candiate in history because us mutts have to stick together.

[heystacy]

Ahoy hoy! Happy Canada Day! :wink: :smile:

Cool. Thanks. Never been to Canada, but I'd like to visit. :cool:

Right after 911 me and my Middle Eastern relatives tried to go to Canada to visit family. All of us were Americans with no passports. I was the only one they were willing to let in their country.:eek: Towards the end Peter, one of my cousins, yelled we're Christans not Muslems you dumb fuck let us in. All of us have names from the bible for Jesus sake."

Okay that didn't happen. I'm trying to stay awake until 4 pm and I have nothing to do but play GTA.:frown: Allthough the part about us all being Christans with names from the bible is true much to the cost many Assyrians who have been killed in the Middle East .:eek:

Why are you trying to deprive yerself of sleep? You work 3rd shift.

[Lester C.]

Why are you trying to deprive yerself of sleep? You work 3rd shift.

If I get 6 to 7 hours of sleep right before my shift I have energy all night long and my body doesn't usually crap out on me until three or four pm. If I go to bed to early then I will wake four or five hours before my shift which means I will be in a for LONG, LONG night. I can do everything at my account but sleep. Which is good because who can sleep through six seasons of 24. Jack Bower is my hero.:cool:

At least my imagination is still working. As a writer it's nice to know I can bullshit even when I'm drop dead exhausted.

[Lester C.]

I'm about to go out. Someone better say something or I'm going to start making shit up again. Or I can start telling bullshit tales I was raised to believe was true. For instance according to my grandmother it was an Assyrian that started the Church and we were God's chosen people because of our strength and temper. Just don't ask me what she said about the Jews.:redface:

A review by Regina Lynn Preciado


Advertisement



I'm famous (in my own small circle) for spending entire weekends doing nothing but reading, for getting so caught up in stories that real-world interruptions like hunger, sleep, or work leave me totally disoriented. I may have called in sick a time or two so I could sleep off an all-night trilogy binge. I've recently changed careers, because in a two-month break from work I realized I am much happier when I have more time to read.

Despite my biblioholism, I only rarely find novels so intense that I must take time-outs to recover, akin to a marathon runner pausing for a sip of Gatorade before beginning the next mile. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series required a number of these light reposes, and so has each of Matthew Woodring Stover's four novels.

With Blade of Tyshalle, Stover returns to the caste-driven future Earth and Studio-exploited Overworld he introduced in Heroes Die. It's seven or so years after Caine's ultimate sacrifice -- you remember, the one that should have Made Everything All Better -- and the situation is even worse than it was before. Not that Caine's death was in vain, but powerful forces at work in both worlds have conspired to put millions of people in danger. And because heroes die, it seems we have no one left to save them.

Bummer, eh?

Over the course of 700-plus pages, Stover takes us on an adventure steeped in thought-provoking questions of ethics, morality, the abuse of power, betrayal, love, family, race, class, philosophy, self-respect, ego, politics, entertainment, and religion. And that's just for starters.

The intellectual blends seamlessly with the physical; I never felt tossed out of the story, or worse, like I'd accidentally slipped into a textbook instead. That's one of Stover's strengths as a writer -- his characters are so complex and involved that the Big Questions flow naturally from them, rather than sitting awkwardly on top as the author tries to overlay his agenda onto the story.

Stover's prose is graphic but not gratuitous, sensual but not sentimental; unlike other writers known for their style, he doesn't allow his facility with language to overpower his characters or their stories. However, his work is not for the faint-hearted. Sometimes it becomes downright relentless. I would quote a passage here to show you except that the novel is so integrated that anything taken out of context becomes almost a parody of itself. Blade of Tyshalle isn't meant to be divided into pithy one-liners.

While I remained engrossed in the story throughout, I did feel somewhat battered toward the end. Perhaps I shouldn't have read the whole thing in two days. Perhaps some of my feeling for George R.R. Martin's novels has leaked into this one, that there aren't enough "up" moments to give me a break from the turmoil besieging the good guys. On the other hand, I admire Stover's ability to make me feel the novel this deeply.

Um. I will be sleeping and working then sleeping then working then sleeping then working then sleeping then working.

I freak people out when I do that. For instance last night I was playing GTA IV moving down many pedestrians in my sports car. My roomate was in the room and described my look as beatific. Actually he used the word orgasmic but I think he may have read my face wrong. Anyway it said it the scariest thing he's ever seen and the dude a senior citizen.

I have discovered that life is what you make of it hero. If you let turning thirty be the key factor in your life, you will get stuck at where you are. Enjoy every day. Don't take your life and experiences for granted.

In other words, unclench, hero. Life will be fine.

I read the quote as profound rather than comedic but that's just me.

[Lester C.]

What's stressing me out is that Metal Gear Solid 4 sold 3 millions copies worldwide. This means that they are never going to port it to the 360 which means I won't be able to play it as there are no other games for the ps3 I want to play that I can't find elsewhere. So until White Knight and FX 13 ship I will not be able to bid farewell to Snake.

[heystacy]

I read the quote as profound rather than comedic but that's just me.

Thanks again. There is truth in the quote as I based it on my own experience as a customer service rep. I need to laugh at where I've been and where I'm going and not be resentful. The quote helps me laugh at myself. In its own way the metaphysical aspects you may be seeing bring me down to Earth.

I thought you had the day off today :confused:

I had last night off. Today I have to fill in for the first shift guy and work my third shift. Only the second shift guy called in so now I'm working all three shifts. This is actually against the law so what my company does is they pay you for 16 hours then "forget" to pay you for the other eight which they make up to you at your next check. This will be the first time it happened to me, but it happens to other guards all the time so I know what to expect.

Yes, but barely. Truth to tell I had decided I wasn't going to be a lawyer as my true passion is helping people and I've always been fascinated by how people think. So I'm going to be a cynical behavioral psychologist and have an appointment with an academic adivisor tomorrow about making that happen.

The only reason why i even wanted to be a lawyer was to help people, but being a lawyer is not about that but rather perserving our system of law.

I haven't been to bed yet and worked a 24 hour shift yesterday. I did something similar when I took the LSAT which in hindsight was a mistake.

If it makes you feel any better I failed my MAT (Miller's Analogy Test) when I thought of going to library school to earn a MLS. Likewise I was rejected by multiple grad schools (even SCAD) when I applied after earning my BA. It's just a door closing. There will many more opportunities for you that are better.

I'm sorry about that, but you're in SCAD now I'm glad it worked out for you.

And for the record I don't belive in the notion that misery loves company. It doesn't make me feel better to see you denied your dream, in fact it makes me feel like crying.

[heystacy]

I'm sorry about that, but you're in SCAD now I'm glad it worked out for you.

This is after the fact and I still faced rejection. I'm a painter and no grad school I applied to was interested in my artwork. It hit me hard. Rejection IS a bitch. I applied for my MFA in graphic design, which got me in the college but it never felt right. I switched to Contemporary Writing, which was a better fit for a blogger/artist/writer.

Had I gone for a painting MFA I may have NEVER applied for the writing program because it didn't exist until 2007. Had I gone to gradschool after my undegrad i would have been done by 2003-04.

I still got rejected by the dramatic writing department, who thought of me as a joke more than a person capable of writing in a dramatic style. It hurts, but I think academics has a lot to understand about how dynamic the world is, and how narrow they are. Likewise I have a lot to learn myself.

My point is that several doors were slammed shut on me. The same happens to all of us, but a better opportunity will come through for you. You weren't made for nothing, you know. :wink:

[heystacy]

And for the record I don't belive in the notion that misery loves company. It doesn't make me feel better to see you denied your dream, in fact it makes me feel like crying.

I told you this because I sincerely empathize with where you are. I've been there. My goal wasn't to make you feel bad, but to let you know that eventually you will get past this and find something better.

For the record I bounced back. I'm proud of my artwork and proudly display it on my blog. I like to think God has other plans for me than where I thought I needed to be. My artistic background appears to come in handy when I need them to. I am happy to persue one of my goals (writing) without feeling I have regrets.

Ice cream break. I gots my Ben & Jerry's. :biggrin:

I need to do something nice for myself tomorrow. If I finish these Jack London stories I'll be doing myself a most kind act of charity.

I think you should reward yourself by finishing the next episode of CSI: YABS!

Clever. The gift that gives to others. Honestly, London leaves me feeling disgusted with human life. I have the starting scene in my head, so expect it soon. :wink:

[Flamebird]

I got my LSAT results today. I did poorly, as I thought I did. I'm feeling very depressed right now.

That sucks, Lester; but at least you persevered and made it through the test.
So yay for that!

Yes, but barely. Truth to tell I had decided I wasn't going to be a lawyer as my true passion is helping people and I've always been fascinated by how people think. So I'm going to be a cynical behavioral psychologist and have an appointment with an academic advisor tomorrow about making that happen.

The only reason why i even wanted to be a lawyer was to help people, but being a lawyer is not about that but rather preserving our system of law.
Sounds like you weren't really cut out to be happy as a lawyer, anyway.
Onwards and upwards, I say.

I DO hope you meant "clinical" :eek:

Either fits, doesn't it? :tongue:

[beetlebum]

Lester: It's okay. There's always a next time. I just hope that you learn from your mistakes, and improve. But nonetheless, here's a hug: http://www.fanforum.com/images/smilies/hug.gif

Someone hacked into my ebay account and bid on a camera. My ebay account is tied into my paypal account which is tired into my checking account so this is a matter of some concern for me. Thank god I was able to retract the bid and no unautherized activity has taken place on the paypal account.

[Ben Morgan]

Yeah, you need that money to bid on Highlander DVDs and Punisher graphic novels signed by ManFaye!

My holy grail of comics is Pad's 80 issues of Supergirl now that I bid for and won all of Garth Ennis' Hitman comics. I'm bidding on those right now. If I win, then Ostrander's Spectre run will be my new holy grail. Anyway my question is what is your holy grail of comics?

Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. Ellis and Immonen turned out some goofy, enjoyable stories that didn't tie itself down in continuity and grit.
