Writer's Block: R.I.P
07:04 pm
What do you want done with your body after you die?
If it's any time soon (heaven forbid), I want my organs to go to someone that needs them.
If I die of something rare, I want my body to go to science (if not something rare, then send me to a body farm).
When it's all said and done, spread my ashes somewhere. Anywhere. Don't keep me in an urn.
And throw a big ass party...but remember: I'll haunt the lame-o's that threw it if at least one person doesn't get arrested.

The anchor screw holding up one side of the towel/toiletries shelf in our bathroom came loose. I didn't want it to rip a hole out of the drywall, so I held it up and asked Slade to bring me a screwdriver.

The Glee Project
04:33 pm
So, who's watching it?
Lots of interesting kids there. Plenty of potential. Possible connections easily drawn to current characters, and I must say I can't wait to see how it all works out.
Kinda confused though; Ryan's mentioned that the ND kids will eventually graduate and that he needs to think about new blood to carry the show...but this winner only gets a 7 episode arc? You'd think he should be looking for a whole slew of new kids to replace the old ones (pun intended).
I'm rooting for Mattaeus (even though he could be Artie's brother in some ways) or Cameron. Ah hell. Who am I kidding?
I'm totally pulling for Cameron to win it all, and actually end up on the show longer.
Can't help it; it's the not-so-sekrit Geek in me, and that's what he appeals to. I even have a back-story written for him in my head--so if *I* can do that, the ACTUAL writers better be inspired.
Ellis has potential given she perpetually looks 12 (wouldn't have to write her out for a long while). Samuel is smokin' hot and Puck could use the competition (and he looks like Lenny, which is NEVER a bad thing). Damien is ADORABLE and I want to roll around in his accent all day. Bryce is cute, too (and we need a new Rutherford). Alex is all...wow, that voice (can he be Mercedes' cousin? Or Az's--which...omg fic bunny brb.)
Okay. Where was I?
Lindsey is the REAL Rachel Berry IMHO (and that was not meant as a compliment). Hannah is meh. Marissa is boring. McKinley (sp?) is beautiful but kinda forgettable (seriously, I had to re-watch parts of the show to figure her name out). Emily annoys the shit out of me (besides, Naya does everything you can do BETTER, baby).
All in all, given the way things were presented and edited, and how things sounded, I agree with the judges' choice to send home.
(Plus, you just knew Damien's changing the lyrics to "I Wish I *WAS* Jesse's Girl" tickled Ryan to death...even if it was accidental.)
Anyway, tell me which person you're backing in the comments.

Work's been kicking my ass--had an internal audit and a surprise inspection and the whole place seems to be falling down around me. When crisis hits, everyone forgets anything newer than 12 months old (SOP changes constantly) and their brains reset to factory default settings or something. I actually listened to one employee answer an SOP related question with a procedure we haven't used in THREE FUCKING YEARS. WTF??? *face/palm*
My only refuge has been drowning in back-eps of
that I've been holding off on watching. See, my favorite characters have a habit of getting killed. First Captain Ryan, then Stephen (Cutter was sorta meh, whatever)...so I couldn't bring myself to watch anymore when I fell HARD for Captain Becker. Couldn't watch past the first 3 eps of S3 (kinda how I haven't actually watched the
Episode That Didn't Really Happen). Anyway, yeah--seriously, totally, 100% in lust with Ben Mansfield. Looks like a Brit has finally replaced the Aussies!
So, with that in mind:
Anyone have any "Becker/ANYONE EXCEPT JESS" fic recs?
Would ADORE BEYOND IMAGINING a Becker/Connor/Abby fic, if you guys know of one (and of COURSE I'd find an OT3). Gonna look through
to see what I find.
Wish me luck!
(Gonna have to save the 1000+ entries I've missed on you guys for the weekend. Got the first ep of S5 to watch. Yay! *licks monitor*)
(Also, I need to find a .gif of Becker as Connor's back up when he went to pick up Rex from the guy trying to sell him on the internet. HOT!)
(And I need a couple Becker icons, too.)
Oh, and for those of you who have NO IDEA what I am talking about...this is Becker:

Random CSI-Related Observation, Self-Awareness and a Mini Rant.
07:55 pm
You know you watch entirely too much TV when you see
a missing person's bulletin
for less than a half second and immediately recognize the NON-CREDITED face of
, from Showtime's
Props to TPTB for actually using someone/something from/at somewhere in Las Vegas on their show for once (unless it was completely by accident, which is probably the case).
You know, the pouring rain every 3rd episode irritates me...'cause that Just. Doesn't. Happen. Sure, we'll get a terrible storm every couple of months (if we're lucky) but for the most part it only happens in a small section of the city (kinda like it raining in The Bronx, but with the most beautiful clear-blue sky in Manhattan). And where the hell is all this green stuff I keep seeing on the screen? I think people call them "trees" and maybe "grass." I've never seen so much of it, except on a golf course, or up at Mt. Charleston.
(Also, please try to forget that I even mentioned watching
. It's horrible. Except, I have an enormous crush on Steven. *sigh* ~looks at empty bank account~ *sigh again* Oh, and I think I used to know Jimmy. Only, I don't think that was his name...)

"How many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them around?"
-- Steve Simon, Minnesota Lawmaker, in his speech on why a gay marriage ban should not be added to the state constitution.
There's a comment on the Yahoo! post that I want to quote, because I think it's insightful and logical.
To add another point: I think the "state's rights" issue was put to bed in the 1860's.

That's right, the ever-hungry-for-more-info spoiler WHORE doesn't want to be spoiled (any more than she is already) for tonight's ep. Color me surprised as well.

3 days till Judgement Day.
07:53 am
Does anyone know what today is? April 19, 2011.
becomes aware of itself.
You know, when the British named their military defense satellite system this, I thought they were just having a laugh...being ironic in that very British way and ha ha, nothing self-fulfilling about that, right?
First: Why tempt fate like that?
And Second: What if someone came back from the future to give us the plot for those movies as a more palatable way of digesting what's ACTUALLY going to happen? That all other attempts to warn us went unheeded or laughed at? (No one listens to Chicken Little, after all. Or wait, maybe it's the boy that cried, "Wolf." Whatever.) And that somehow the British Military (all World's Militaries, for that matter) was infiltrated to make sure that some version of Skynet was created?
Tack on the recent Jeopardy challenge and how eerie it was to see a computer that--well, for lack of a better word--intelligent (as in thinking for itself) and I have to admit I'm a little freaked out.
Let's see how things unfold for the next few days. We'll know for sure April 21st.
(Not really paranoid, guys. This is just how fandom and real-life collide.)
(Although, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't actually watching you!)

Not gonna lie: John Taylor STILL does it for me, almost 3 decades later.
Also, once again I feel old...except, I am RIDICULOUSLY excited to see She Wants Revenge later so I think that earns me back some cred, right?
I wonder who the TBA artist for 10:30 on channel 1 will be?
Edited to add: Annoying chick is annoying. Didn't anyone tell her back-up singers are supposed to be IN THE BACK?
Edited to add2: OMG Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters on stage with them!! Okay, that chick can STAY!
Edited to add3: talk about emotional whiplash--First encore was a John Barry tribute (with View to a Kill) *sniff* and last song *hyperventilates* GIRLS ON FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite! *flails*
So, yeah, evidently I am 13 yrs old again.

Letting the kid watch Power Rangers now, and he's mainlining it--making up for all the eps he wasn't allowed to see until now. *sigh*
So, they're rated Y7 but I wasn't ever comfortable with that and just waited till I felt he was mature enough for it.
I'll say one thing about it: Makes me wax nostalgic for Starblazers, Voltron, and G-Force. Yeah, I watched other, similar, shows at the time, but these three? They were my shit, yo. I've got Voltron and Starblazers, but I've never been able to get my hands on G-Force.
I think I'm going back to youtube...

Dear E-book Readers:
When a publisher or book-selling website allows you to tag a particular title with keywords, PLEASE DO IT RIGHT.
I just wasted $5 on a book that sounded really good, and had decent reviews, because it was tagged as "M/M/F." Unfortunately, this tag was not correct. It was, in fact, an "M/F/M" book, which is an
different genre altogether, thank you very much. One that I choose not to partake in because I, dear reader, prefer that my triangles be equilateral--as in it actually has the "M/M" part of "M/M/F."
If it is straight menage, with no boy-sexing,
No Love,
(FYI: Yes the book was decent, but would have been so much better IMHO, had there been equal opportunity loving between all the participants. No offense to the writer--that will remain anonymous--but if I'd known it was hetero-menage, I would have chosen another book.)

Welcome to the 21st Century, Bug!!!
11:30 am
So, I think I mentioned I finally got a laptop...but most of the past month has been spent using it as a DVD player and e-reader (for saved fics and books) as I don't have a wireless plan.
Before you think I drag the thing around everywhere with some sort of LAN cable attached, I must of course tell ya'll that my HOUSE is set up as a wireless network, with a cable modem and all, but I thought it didn't get access anywhere else.
Slade wanted to go to the McD's play place and I knew I'd be bored shitless, so I carted the 'puter with me to watch SPN (ha! too loud) or read--and OMG ya'll I have Teh Interwebz!!!! Evidently McD's has some sort of public wireless access!
(No, I am not really that clueless. I know the Library has this option; I've just never had the opportunity to use it. It just amused and pleased me to no end to find out McD's does, too!)
I think I need a "duh!" icon now.

Prompt Me
08:29 pm
Spent entirely too much time perusing word lists/prompts and was not inspired by what I found.
So, to that end, I need
one word
prompts please. 20 of them (
one per person
unless I don't get enough in the next 5 days and then I'll ask for more).
My plan is to write 20 Steve/Danny kissing drabbles (100 words, exactly) in the next 10 days. I'm hoping I'll also be inspired to finish this damn fic that's way past due but just doesn't want to come together.
Go ahead: Prompt me!

Anyone seen the wagon?
06:57 pm
Right, so I'm gonna give this a try--DW as a back up in case LJ can't get it's shit together. My layout there is all fucked anyway, so I might as well start from scratch. We'll see. I'm just so attached to LJ; new is cool but scary sometimes, you know? (Plus, didn't we all go through this with Insane Journal and something else?)
Please, no one have a heart attack on this, but I'm thinking the layout, etc. for this journal will be Danny/Steve. Need to take a look at what's possible with a free account.
Also, I'm in the process of moving fic to AO3. In preparing to do so, I've come across lots of fic I want to fix first; so it may be a while. As for writing, down the pike I have a(n): RPS Alex/Scott to finish for the Holiday Fic Fest; Alex/Scott PWP (tattoo related); 3 Steve/Danny fics (one of which is a follow-up for "First Rule"); awkward Dave/Blaine hookup; Glee/Greek crossover humorous fic; original fic/essay type thing; plus untold numbers of one sentence beginnings sitting in my "Fic To Write" file.
On LJ, LadyCleo is cranking out some pages to possibly wrap up Copper For A Kiss. A looooong ass time ago I made a promise to myself that if she did that, I'd finish Casino Job. So, the cheerleader and Rayne-Fan in me wants her to finish ('cause I seriously need to know how it all turns out)...but WHEN SHE DOES, that means I have to put my money where my mouth is and do it, too. Crap.
And in case you were wondering, I'm making a concerted effort to post daily...at least a little SOMETHING.
Today, I've been pondering the nature of commenting.
I am a spotty fic-commenter. I don't always reply letting an author know that I liked a fic, mainly because--lately--I prefer to tailor my comments directly to the fic with details about what what written and how it affected (effected?) me. Sure sometimes a "That was hot!" will suffice, but I've been trying to move away from that. Also, I may not know enough about the fandom/characeters/actors to comment right then, and have probably bookmarked it for later commenting. (If it's something I am not into yet, it may be a while. Don't anyone hold their breath, okay?)
At any rate, rest assured that if you are on my LJ flist, I read your fic--even if I don't comment. If you post in the comms I belong to, I probably read it. If it's Dave Karofsky related there's a 90% chance I am reading it. If it's Hawaii Five-O--well, there's just so freaking much of that I'll only read recs from my flisters, names I recognize from other fandoms, authors with reps as awesome writers...and anything rated R or NC-17. (What? Don't judge!)
What about you guys?
Do you always comment? Would you rather a bunch of "Good job!" or "That was hot!" comments, or a few really well thought out replies that tell you someone reflected on what they had to say, and how your work affected or influenced them?

Nowhere NEAR enough Sean Maher on
Make It or Break It
. I was kinda hoping that, in addition to him being some Gymnastics Bureaucrat, TPTB would put him in a onesie, hanging from the rings as the character coulda been a past-gymnast himself. That woulda been hot.
But, I did love that (last week) his character was the first to call out Emily's mom on how the poor girl didn't even have her own room (when it's HER athletic stipend paying for just about everything); that she needed to be treated like the elite gymnast she is.

Snagged from
Where did 'Steampunk' come from.
Not that I'm some expert in the genre, but I'm not sure I agree with the author's assessment. As someone else mentions in the comments, those examples given are Science Fiction for the time. TO ME, "Steampunk" is more retro than that; it's you or me setting a story in the past and giving the characters science and inventions not thought of at that time...not a "present" era plot with futuristic elements.
IDK how to put it into words better, but as a comparison -- I don't think Jules Verne did Steampunk. He wrote Science Fiction.
Wild, Wild West
on the other hand is probably the best example of what
consider Steampunk. But then again, I see the argument for a story like that Sky Captain movie (except that, for some reason, my brain refuses to process the story as happening at any time but in the past--which may be an incorrect assumption but somehow it works and still fits my definition).
And yet, I can probably shoehorn any fic with the Genii trying to figure out/use Stargate/Ancient technology.
So confusing.
What do you think?

What the hell? Did anyone else's LJ layout spontaneously change?
Mine used to be a purple themed background/boxes with a header of Marcus Hamilton at the top. For some odd reason, it's plain old blue-ish now.
I figured out which one I used to have, sorta. I don't remember the specific settings for the middle and side column sizes, or the font. And of course I don't know where I parked my header. And I'm thinking I had a style sheet that someone designed for me (html). Gah. So frustrating. I hope that if it *IS* a server issue, that my mucking about with it won't keep the old style from "spontaneously" coming back just right. Otherwise, I don't know how I'm going to get my Marcus Hamilton header back. I didn't back it up...
No, I don't owe LJ anything. I'm good till September at least.
OMG. I fucked it up more trying to fix it. I don't even know how to get it back to the way I had it! Someone help, please?!

Cable TV and Field Trips.
12:14 pm
So, point the first: Camelot. I watched it, liked it a lot, but I canNOT get over how much Arthur and Kay look like very young versions of Henry and Charles (the Tudors). As long as Kay sticks around I see lots of potential for slash. Also, Fiennes creeped me out as Merlin. I'm so used to fluffy funny Emrys that it threw me. Oddly, Arthur is still kinda Arthur. Very. Very. Pretty. (Contrary soul that I am, of COURSE I prefer Kay, though.)
B): I'm expecting lots of angry phone calls Tuesday night. From irate parents. I guess I should start at the beginning.
Slade had a field trip and I volunteered to chaperone. Bearenstein Bears musical at UNLV. Anyway, the school bus we rode had a radio and speakers built in. On the way there it was too loud to hear much, but I sat under a speaker on the way back. I hummed along to many of the songs and the little girls that flocked to Slade giggled and asked if I knew the words.
And then Teenage Dream came on.
Belted it out with all those 7 & 8 yr olds who love me like burning now.
But then, one of them asked how someone so OLD knew the words to a "cool" song. Ouch. I could have/should have just said "the radio. I listen to it, too." But my mouth tends to work before my brain does. So I told them from a TV show about a High School chorus. "Like High School Musical?!!!" one of them screeches, practically hyperventilating. "NO!" another counters, grinning excitedly like a loon. "I bet it's like Victorious."
So, yeah I've seen both of these and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I watch what my kid does to make sure it's appropriate, and explain what it necessary. And, in some respects these shows are similar (especially Victorious). So I tell them, "Kinda." At this point my brain kicks in and I try to add a quick disclaimer to set them off the path of a more mature show, "But, these kids are older...." By then I am completely drowned out by the squeals of excitement and laughter and bouncing as one of them googles on her iPhone (really? 8yrs get those?) that it's on Tuesdays and she's texting all of them the time.
Oh. My. God. Isn't this week's ep on

Marriage as an "intitution"?*
03:08 pm
Ganked from
So let me get this straight...Larry King is getting his 8th divorce, Elizabeth Taylor is possibly getting married for the 9th time, Britney Spears had a 55 hour marriage, Jesse James and Tiger Woods, while married, were having sex with EVERYONE. Yet, the idea of same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage?? Really???

Seriously Flisters, 1000+ posts?
10:37 pm
I don't have access to the internet for 3 days, and when I finally sign back on (courtesy a brand new gi-FUCKING-normous new HD screen and fast-as-fuck processor) and discover that I have to go back over 1000 posts to catch up on what I missed!
You peeps are posting machines!
Thank goodness I have the next two days off to catch up (try not to overwhelm me with even more, please).
In the mean time--tell me what I missed. Got any fic recs (McDanno, Kurtofsky, Vamp Diaries OT3)? New pretty menz
pics to ogle? (Clothing optional appreciated most, thank ewe!) News, gossip, spoilers?
*grabby hands*
(Weight loss update: 15lbs!
Anyone know of a widget to keep track of that like they have for NaNoWriMo?
THANKS ArchersAngel!!)
And in sad news,
my ex-boss died Monday.
He'd been retired for less than 18 months, too. I don't know how his widow is going to cope; they'd been together for over 40 years and absolutely inseparable. They even worked together for the last 25 years! Rest in peace, Pete. The world is a much sadder place without your smile and easy laughter to brighten it up.

Hawaii Five-O, Steve/Danny fics for LDWS
10:04 pm
drabbles. None won; I forfeited in round 4 since I couldn't get my submission in on time. :(
Title: Lilo
Author: bugchicklv
Summary: Danny should have known this wouldn't go according to plan.
Warnings: A sexual reference and some innuendo
"What row are we in?" Steve asks as they squeeze by an enormous guy wearing a yellow track suit and step over another with stubble more scruffy than his own.
Danny absently scratches at his chin, looks at the ticket stubs and responds, "Well, I'm in row fifteen, you're in sixteen. Middle seat for both"
"That's what we get for flying coach," Steve gripes. "I told you we should have tried for a military transport."
Danny struggles to put his carry-on in the overhead bin and warily watches the blond across the way argue with her boyfriend, hoping nothing more dramatic than that happens on their return flight. He's tired and sticky; he itches like crazy and can't wait to get back to that pineapple-infested hellhole of a jungle he calls home.
"No. With my luck they'd get some sort of emergency mission en route that you, Mr. Super Seal, would volunteer us to help with. And while the bruises and contusions have finally healed, mentally? I'm still not over the last time that happened. Also, how the hell do you pick up accents so fast? Four days in Sydney for a prisoner exchange and you sound like a native.
Steve answers with a smirk, "Talented tongue."
Danny wasn't even gonna touch that comment
After the first patch of turbulence, Danny manages to talk the old guy next to Steve into switching seats. After the second, Danny has to convince Steve that twenty-three hours in a simulator does not qualify him to pilot a jumbo jet and promises a blow job for every minute that Steve restrains himself. They're up to eight when the back of the plane shears off.
Forty-two minutes later Danny is shaking sand out of his hair wondering why this place looks so much like Hawaii.
Title: Kanikau
Author: bugchicklv
Summary: "If I wasn't a sailor, I wouldn't be here."
Warnings: Angst; death of a non-canon character.
Steve thought it ironic that he bravely stood in the line of fire on a frighteningly regular basis, but the sound of those rifles could always make him flinch, even when he knew it was coming. The echo of each round reverberating in his chest, he clinched his fists tightly to fight against the urge to rub his hand over his heart; to ease the weary ache of loss.
Between the volleys, Steve silently mimed the long abandoned but deeply ingrained pacer, "If I wasn't a sailor, I wouldn't be here." Such a small concession on an otherwise painful day, but it pleased him that the next round only began as he ended the refrain.
He dutifully watched as the honor guard folded the pristine flag and handed it with great pomp and circumstance to the woman who had never really known her husband, had never even really tried. The social leverage and the prestige of being an officer's wife were the only things that she had ever wanted; the man's need for comfort, affection, security always taking a back seat to her ambition. Steve noticed a lone crocodile tear slide down her cheek and wondered how long it would take before she turned this loss to her advantage, before she pressed to "temporarily" fill his now-vacant seat in the House. He despised her even more as she played the part of heart-broken widow to perfection, basking in the sympathy and condolences of her sycophantic followers.
As the casket was slowly lowered into the ground and the trumpets wailed mournfully, his partner moved closer; the unspoken gesture of support nearly breaking through Steve's steely façade, nearly breaking Steve
He turned to Danny, this man who had dropped everything to follow Steve to Arlington and patiently stood by as Steve mourned the death of his mentor; as he recounted the numerous ways the Admiral had shaped Steve's career and molded him into the man, the SEAL, the officer he was today.
Within full view of the military contingent, Steve grabbed Danny's tie, forcefully pulled the man forward and kissed him.
The silence that settled around them was deafening, but Steve paid them no mind. Today he would heed some long-ignored advice given by a man more a father to him than his own, and followed his heart.
Steve wrapped his arms tightly around his partner and whispered, "Let's go home, Danno."
Title: Expectations
Author: bugchicklv
Summary: It was supposed to be a line he never crossed..
Warnings: Sex.
If someone had told him a year ago that he'd eventually be naked in Steve's bed, his hand wrapped tightly around Steve's cock, teasing delicious little whimpers from the man as he jacked Steve toward orgasm, he'd have knocked their ass out. Not that it was insulting or anything; Steve was a co-worker, his partner, a line he vowed never to cross.
Only, things didn't quite work out the way he expected.
Banter so heated and his frustration level at eleven, Danny'd finally had enough. A kiss used like a fist to shut Steve up and the next thing Danny knew they were dry humping in the back seat of his car like high-schoolers--something Danny thought he left behind once he turned sixteen and Maria finally put out, but has since rediscovered the joy of. Watching Steve come in his pants was the second hottest thing he's ever seen.
The first? Well, he's getting to that.
Where Danny likes it slow and steady, a gradual buildup to a long, drawn out climax, Steve likes it fast and rough, an intense climb before being shoved off a cliff, screaming. Only, today Danny is in charge and he likes for Steve to come apart in his hands, likes to hear the filthy words that stream from Steve as he fights to maintain control. So, the slow delicious torture continues until Danny's wrist is sore and Steve is wrecked and finally, finally lets go.
And that? Is the hottest thing Danny has ever seen.

H5O fic: "Pupule Po'alima" (Steve/Danny - Rated M)

Pupule Po'alima
Hawaii Five-0
M (Mature)
This is a work of fiction. If I owned H50, or either man, there'd be a lot more than just subtext.
Author's Notes:
Comment Fic
word count fail. Clearly, this is all LJ's fault as the character limit is entirely too small. Un-betaed.

The Horror...
11:10 pm
OMG. I just watched the first ep of
US and seriously, WTF?
So, yeah they kept all the same names. But those characters? WERE NOT the characters I know and love. THAT was not Tony by ANY stretch of the imagination. The UK version was just as manipulative and narcissistic but THIS guy was...IDEK what. More...skeevy? It creeped me out to watch him.
That Chris was just sooo wrong. SO. Wrong.
And where the FUCK is Maxxie? Did we get a replacement character with the lesbian cheerleader instead? On one hand, yay for more lesbians on TV. On the other, boo. Network cop-out? Gimme my Maxxie.
Ya know, I find it odd that I hate this version so much more than I do the US version of
Being Human
and yet I loved
Being Human
UK more than I did
UK (and WOW that's going to be hard to keep track of).
The new BH positively SHINES by comparison.
Maybe the US should stop ripping off show ideas. I mean, it worked for QAF and The Office...but this was just pure crap.
(And why the hell couldn't the set designers get Tony's duvet? Them in bed together at the end of the ep is not as funny without the naked body appliques. And we are cheated the visual...metaphor(?) about their relationship.)
I want that hour back.
Edited to Add:
, however? BEST. EPISODE. EVER. I ♥ Beaver so much. If TPTB won't fulfill my fondest fantasy and gimme Heath/Beaver then I can think of nothing better than Beaver/Catherine. Srsly. A het ship I can TOTALLY get behind. Oh, and speaking of which: stripper Heath FTMFW!!!

Finally emailed off my quadruple drabble for this week's prompt at
. (Steve/Danny Last Drabble Writer Standing)
I managed to avoid elimination last week with a triple drabble that I am not completely enamored with. Eh, it wasn't horrible--but it was an idea that I wanted to flesh out more and I didn't have that luxury; unfortunately, I had that pesky 300 word limit to adhere to. And I couldn't get anyone to beta it for me (it was a last minute request, so no hard feelings).
But THIS WEEK?
I am pretty fucking proud of this week's submission.
Which, by way of Cosmic Karma, of course means it will lead to my elimination. But, if that happens I'm okay with it. I'd much rather go out on something I liked than on a less than 100% effort/approval endeavor.
It shouldn't take long for the mods to post all of the 4Xdrabbles for this week. I'm not gonna tell you which one is mine, but go there and vote for the ones you like best. Rules are usually in the voting post (which isn't up yet, but keep an eye out for it--I'll remind everyone later if I have to).

Fatty Fatty 2x4...
09:25 pm
So, yeah. I need to lose some weight. Like, a lot. I'd be happy to lose 25 lbs, but I am aiming for 50. In six months.
Probably not achievable without extreme dieting and exercising like a fiend, but I am gonna try. My problem is that I'm bulimic--I just forget to purge.
So, I joined
as SparkDiet just wasn't working for me. I still use their exercise videos though; there's a few routines I can do at work on my break and I don't even have to get out of my chair--provided I'm in one. If I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, well that's my exercise for the day.
Wish me luck!

Successful Tips For Improving Your Productivity

PROMOTE: Place a Text Link on this Confession ONLY
Read This Confession To Me
Productivity is one of the key ingredients for success. Being productive is a method by which you can devote your life and business to. Increasing your productivity can enrich your life in several ways. Furthermore, productivity is a common attribute for wealth, positivity and strength. Above all, if one is productive, then they are better aligned to achieve their goals and dreams.
Social Media and Networking Skills
Social media has become a strong fabric layer in the marketing and communication landscape of our society. Social media also provides the platform for networking, marketing, promoting and advertising on a global level. It is essential for all types of businesses and entrepreneurs to utilize the social media outlets to their advantage. Social Media has continued to grow in popularity and is one of the most powerful marketing tools available today.
Additionally, these two attributes go hand-in-hand. Social media is the art of communicating with the world on a massive scale. You can post updates, pictures, services and products without the hassle of expensive and less rewarding forms of marketing. The social platform is ideal for bands, business owners, yoga instructors, painters, colleges, etc... In addition, it is one of the best methods for networking online. The more you increase your understanding and mastery over social media and networking, the greater your productivity will be.
Communication is the method by which you get your point or message across. Whether you are a business or individual looking to become more productive, the art of communication is a tricky yet possible goal to reach. It requires patience and time to develop your communication skills but the rewards are endless once mastered. Communication is the back-bone behind most successful businesses and can increase productivity across the board.
Organization is a key element for success and productivity. If you are organized, then you are aware of your surroundings and in return you can be more productive. This poses a great advantage in any type of work situation. Being organized will not only increase your productivity but also lower your stress levels on a daily basis. Organization is a skill that is often overlooked by many but if you can master it, the sky's the limit.
Concentration and Focus
Mastering communication and organization requires one important tool. That tool is a high level of concentration and ability to focus. Being able to concentrate and focus on the task at hand will allow you to be more precise, effective and ultimately increase your productivity. These are the core elements of how to become more productive. The trick is to make them a natural part of your existence. After a while, they will flow from your being in a natural way.
Although there are numerous attributes of productivity, a few areas are important to master. Those include social media, networking, communication skills, organization, concentration and focus. Essentially, these tools can help you achieve your goals and increase your productivity in all aspects of your life. If you inquire into successful individuals or companies, you will discover most of these attributes on their list for how the became successful.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recently received a letter from Green Tree Servicing LLC that I owed $58,000 on a house that sold on a short sale in Oct 2008 and that collections would shortly begin. I called their 800 # to explain the debt had been cancelled in 2008. I also called my mortgage company to comfirm this fact. Gree Tree stated I needed to Fax proof of this to the recovery department. He gave me a phony number that was no fax number. I sent a letter registered mail with the explaination to Green Tree.
Then I received another collections letter again stating I owed them $58,000 and how to set up payments. I got my Federal Tax records which contained the cancellation of debt 1099C which is proof of debt cancellation and called the local main number. I asked for the recovery department Fax number and she connected me again with the recorded one hour wait number. I called the receptionist back and she satated that was the ONLY number she had for anyone at Green Tree.
I had to call the main number again, ask for payroll, and lie my butt off to get the actual fax number which is NOT in South Dakota but in Phoenix Arizona. This company is a sham and should be shut down. They are indicative of every rip off company that exists in America today. The Fax number for Green Tree Financial Recovery Department is 480-383-0629.

Hello everyone,
Trip report of our May trip to Northwest Spain on http://rebeccasnyder.com/18-days-in-northwest-spain.htm. On our Costa Brava trip last year we had Basque style tapas - pintxos - many times in Barcelona and Girona so of course we HAD to go to San Sebastián. It's no problem driving a Europcar rental rented in Portugal into Spain and we had a great loop trip to San Sebastián, the Picos de Europa, Santiago de Compostela and Pontevedra before heading back to Portugal. Plenty of pics on the website and probably too many on my Flickr photostream:
Donostia/San Sebastián: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccasnyder/sets/72157644238478697/
Picos de Europa: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccasnyder/sets/72157644329008759/
Itinerary was:
1 night in Valladolid on the way from Pinhao Portugal to San Sebastian
7 nights in San Sebastian, day trip to Bilbao plus other driving excursions
1 night in Fuente De with a little hike at the top of El Cable (the funicular)
3 nights in Cangas de Onis with a hike around the Covadonga lakes and a day trip to Ribadesella
3 nights in Santiago de Compostela
3 nights in Pontevedra with a hike in the Parque Natural de Carreiron and driving excursions
Northwest Spain Summary:
We love Spain and this trip to the northwest was terrific. Fantastic pintxos any time of the day or night. Spectacular scenery and great hikes. It's called Green Spain for a reason, and May could be a rainy time to go - but we got lucky with great weather on the days we planned hikes and driving tours, and had the umbrellas handy the rest of the time.
Driving: Easy, but the Garmin Nuvi maps need to be refreshed. Nuvi didn't know about some of the highways and kept trying to divert us to the older "N" roads. Really odd, the "new" highways have been here for years. We had our little VW Polo for a total of 28 days and 4,250 kilometers (2,264 miles). Picked it up in Lisbon and 28 days later dropped it off in Porto. This was the perfect size of car for the 2 of us - just big enough cargo space for our 2 carry ons and 2 big laptop bags plus some groceries. Lost some steam going up steep hills, and the pick-up for passing wasn't zippy. But it got great gas mileage and was small enough to park just about anywhere and navigate some tight streets. We were really happy with the little Polo and would rent one of these again.
Best things about the trip:
Hiking in the Picos de Europa
Excellent roads
Mostly great weather, wow, were we lucky!
Worst things about the trip:
Very expensive parking in San Sebastian / Donostia (solved after the first 42 hours and $100 later)
Would I change anything?:
Lekeitio may have been a bit far to drive from San Sebastian...um, Nah!
Our travel style - we plan all our own trips and use award miles for travel, so we HAVE to have a general idea of where we want to go FAR in advance. After getting our airline award tickets I have plenty of time to put together an itinerary. Resources like Fodor's and the forums - especially other people's trip reports - are a huge help! When back, I like to write up the trip on my site for my own amusement - I don't run ads or have any monetary motivation - it's just fun!
Happy planning and thanks everyone who has contributed

Relationship Expert Advises 'Immediate Psychological Counseling' For Rihanna & Chris Brown (PHOTOS)
The sudden reunion between Rihanna and Chris Brown has ignited a huge controversy. Fans have expressed their disappointment in seeing the two partner on "Birthday Cake" and spend time together — even though they say they are just friends.
Celebuzz turned to relationship expert and Author of The Breakup Bible, Rachel A. Sussman, who says the reunion could be "very damaging."
Is this reunion healthy?
Abuse of any kind in a relationship is extremely dangerous. There is often a dance between the abuser and the victim where they breakup (often violently) and then reunite. It's very damaging. The way to break the cycle is to end the relationship and then both parties should immediately get psychological counseling.
Why do people forgive their abusers?
Often abusers were abused themselves as youngsters. Many abusers have had hard lives. A certain woman will fall for this person wanting to be his savior, thinking she can mend his wounds.
Should people try to salvage these relationships and get back together?
I'm not a big fan of people in abusive relationships getting back together. There are millions of people in this country. Heal yourself and then get involved in a fresh and healthy relationship with someone who is less complicated.
Some public reaction has been to "get over it" because it happened three years ago. Can you offer insight into this?
Anyone who feels it is ok must seriously examine how they have come to feel this way. Did they come from a family where abuse was prevalent? If so, get the help you need to break the awful cycle of abuse.
What is your advice to these two?
My advice for any couple who are engaged or previously engaged with abuse is to get treatment and stay in treatment. Stay away from your abuser. Getting back together can endanger your mental and physical health. It can endanger your life too.

Frequent urination at night, or nocturnia, has a number of cited causes. Nocturnia is usually a symptom of another underlying health condition, and it's a condition that can interfere with one's quality of sleep and have a negative effect on a person's mood during the day. Nocturnia is defined as the need to urinate two or more times during sleep periods, but is not a condition associated with bed wetting.
Urological Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can be one of the causes of nocturnia. When you have a urinary tract infection, your kidneys, bladder, urethra and/or your ureters can be negatively affected. A UTI is associated with the pressing need to urinate, and when you finally do urinate, you will pass urine in small amounts and passing the urine can prove painful. Treatment with an antibiotic will be required to alleviate the condition and to eliminate issues with nocturnia.
Overactive Bladder and Incontinence
An overactive bladder will cause you to rise at night to urinate. The amount of urine you pass may be small or excessive depending upon how much liquid you have consumed and the actual cause of your incontinence. Your bladder could develop muscular issues that cause it to contract with more frequency, and there may also be underlying conditions such as a tumor in your bladder, Parkinson's disease, a stroke or multiple sclerosis that can cause your bladder to become overactive. To remedy the situation, try to change the amount of fluids you consume. You may have to retrain your bladder muscles, and do some pelvic exercises to help alleviate nocturnia conditions. Prescription medications may help diminish the contractions of the bladder to reduce urination frequency.
Tumors in the Bladder or Prostate
Bladder cancer can cause painful and frequent urination. When prostate cancer occurs, it can cause the prostate to push against your bladder: This is also responsible for the need to frequently urinate at night. The growth of the prostate can also put pressure on the urethra, which makes it difficult to urinate. Since prostate cancer makes it harder to urinate, you might have a need to urinate with more frequency. Successful treatment of nocturnia caused by bladder cancer or prostate cancer can occur when the cancerous growths are eliminated via surgery and other treatment measures.
Bladder Prolapse
Bladder prolapse, also identified as cystocele, is a condition that occurs in women after excessive strain during childbirth, bowel movements or lifting heavy objects. This condition occurs when the wall between the vagina and the bladder is weakened, stretched and, in turn, allows for the bladder to bulge into the woman's vagina. Nocturnia occurs with this condition because the woman feels a pressure in the pelvic region, fullness in the abdomen that is constant, and the feeling that after urination there is still more urine to pass. Once the condition is treated via non-invasive and/or invasive measures, the nocturnia will subside.
Frequent urination can prove bothersome throughout the majority of your pregnancy. Your body increases the amounts of blood being produced in the body; thus, more fluids are being filtered by your kidneys, which are, in turn, sent to your bladder. Pressure on your bladder occurs as the fetus continues to grow inside your uterus, too. After childbirth, the nocturnia will typically subside.
Diabetes is a condition where you have excessive glucose levels in your bloodstream. The need to urinate with frequency may be attributed to excessive thirst and increased consumption of fluids when diabetes develops. Possible complications may arise where your body begins producing more ketones, which can have a harmful effect on the kidneys. Regulating glucose levels via medications and altering your diet may help alleviate nocturnia issues.

American Jewish History Month Passes House Unanimously
Wasserman Schultz resolution is first step in creation of national month recognizing Jewish contributions to American history
December 15, 2005
(Washington, DC) -- This afternoon the House of Representatives passed, by a vote of 423-0, a resolution sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, urging President Bush to proclaim January as American Jewish History month. This historic legislation was introduced with the support of 250 original co-sponsors with broad bi-partisan support.
"For over 350 years, American culture has been deeply enriched by the contributions of Jews," said Rep. Wasserman Schultz. "While only 2% of the population, Jews have played a vital role in every aspect of American culture, from the westward expansion to advances in medicine to such quintessentially American symbols as the song God Bless America."
Many Americans have very little understanding of Judaism and Jewish culture simply because the majority of Americans have few interactions with Jews or Jewish traditions.
"For instance, many Americans perceive Judaism as only a religion," said Rep. Wasserman Schultz. "In reality, Judaism is a religion, a rich tradition, and a culture that dates back over 4,000 years. It is this very complexity that contributes to stereotypes and prejudices often directed at Jews."
Rep. Wasserman Schultz will be working with House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) as well as with the Washington representatives of organizations from across the country to urge President Bush to establish, by Executive Order, American Jewish History Month.

Although most people would think of running, calling the airline, speaking to personnel, or simply taking their chances, this guy had what he thought was the best plan ever.
His idea? To call the Bordeaux-Merignac airport in southwestern France, and report a bomb.
Bomb threats are obviously taken very seriously, and before the man could even see his girlfriend off, authorities jumped into action.
His plan had worked, but not quite the way he had hoped.
The airport was quickly sealed off while searches were conducted. No bomb was found, but the man who reported it was caught about 20 kilometers from the airport.
Call it love, or call it stupid, the man was arrested, and will be appearing in court soon. He could face up to two years in prison and a 30,000 euro fine.
As far as his girlfriend goes-well, it wasn't reported as to whether or not she made the flight, but chances are if she did, she probably didn't feel too great about it.

The company issued revised fourth quarter guidance on Friday, with earnings expected at or below the low-end of previous guidance between $1.60 and $1.70 a share. Full-year earnings are expected at the low-end of $5.11 to $5.21 a share. Wal-Mart expects slightly negative comparable sales growth for both its namesake store and membership-only Sam's Club. Previous guidance had Wal-Mart with flat comps and Sam's Club with growth as high as 2%.

- Prepare for the change of weather… it get's cold fast and we still have outdoor line up and recess. As a parent, get those winter coats, gloves and hats, scarves early! LABEL EVERYTHING.

The Rand devalued severely last week, dropping to a new four-year low amid concerns about the health of the South African economy.
A speech by President Jacob Zuma, intended to allay concerns about labour unrest, seemed to do just the opposite: the Rand breached the key level of R10 to the Dollar on Thursday, and then tumbled a further 2% against it on Friday.
According to Andrew Rissik of the Sable Group, there are several possible reasons why the Rand has weakened so drastically.
There is a shortage of liquidity in the USD space, with individuals and companies wanting to buy more USD than was available. This is a result of various factors, such as:
- Trade imbalance: Exporters holding onto their Forex reserves. There is no longer a requirement to convert foreign currency back to Rands within a specific period of time. Importers can only hold back payments for goods for so long; eventually they are forced to make international payments for the goods they purchased. Our monthly trading position is very out of balance. The bottom line is that South Africa imports too much and exports too little.
- Money Market outflows: The US is selling bonds in many emerging markets – including South Africa. And other foreign funds are pulling cash out of South Africa by selling bonds and other liquid money market instruments. There is also talk in the US of reducing quantitative easing (in other words: printing money).
- Private investment and disinvestment: Foreign private individuals are holding back on investing in South Africa (mainly due to their own economic woes) and many locals are also moving their funds out of the country.
- Political unrest is causing serious concerns about the South African government – in particular, its lack of economic direction and leadership.
"The Rand has recovered some of Friday's losses this week' breaking back through the psychological R10.00/$ barrier to once again trade in single digits against the dollar," says Rissik. "It remains to be seen what the next few weeks bring."
According to Rissik, this is a great time for South Africans to bring money held overseas back home to settle any debts. Expats considering investing in the South African property market should also do so now while the Rand is weak.

NEW YORK (AP) Nick of Time was a turning point for Bonnie Raitt. The 1989 album elevated the blues singer-songwriter to a new level of success and earned her three Grammy Awards.
Now it's part of the "Definitive 200" list of albums and soundtracks co-sponsored by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The list, which was chosen by a committee of music retailers within NARM, was released Tuesday.
DISCUSS Share your thoughts
Raitt, 57, told The Associated Press that her album was "the right album for the right time." Nick of Time is ranked at No. 137, between Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing and Metallica's Ride the Lightning.
The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is No. 1. Other albums in the top 10 include U2's The Joshua Tree, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, Michael Jackson's Thriller and Carole King's Tapestry.
Raitt, who's made her share of best-of lists over the years, said she'd find it difficult to rank albums by her favorite artists.
"I'm always asked about things ... 'What are the most significant, you know, 10 of this or 20 of that,'" she said. "But what's important is that it's not a contest. You do your best work and everybody's got a subjective opinion about what albums mean the most to them."

Newly elected Rep. Ami Bera, D-Elk Grove, voted on Wednesday for a bill to suspend the country's debt ceiling for three months. Included in the bill is a stipulation that if Congress does not approve an annual budget, members will have their salaries withheld.
"The short-term debt ceiling suspension bill that I voted for is not a perfect plan, and while I'd prefer to see a clean debt ceiling vote, this bill will bring more certainty to financial markets and maintain the full faith and credit of the United States government," Bera said in a news release.

Out with the old in Bligh's new Cabinet
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh's new Cabinet will include at least seven new faces, after the dumping of long-serving ministers John Mickel and Judy Spence.
Two other ministers Lindy Nelson-Carr and Margaret Keech also will not be part of the line-up to be sworn in on Thursday.
Member for Mundingburra Ms Nelson-Carr told Ms Bligh she does not want to be part of the new Cabinet because ministerial responsibilities have taken a toll on her family life.
Warren Pitt and Rod Welford retired at the election and Andrew McNamara lost his seat of Hervey Bay.
Ms Bligh says the electorate wants change.
"They expect to see a reinvigorated Government, a Government hungry, a Government that is acting and thinking like a first-term Government, and that's what I'm determined to deliver," she said.
"Obviously we'll be having a caucus meeting tomorrow, I'll be announcing the Cabinet of Queensland at the earliest opportunity, and I would expect that there may well be other announcements between now and then."
She say her first new Cabinet appointments have been employment and health because they are the top priorities of her Government.
She has already revealed that her deputy Paul Lucas will take on Health and Treasurer Andrew Fraser will be Employment Minister.
"I made a number of very big commitments in the election campaign to jobs - to creating jobs and protecting jobs - and getting us through the global financial crisis," she said.
"Jobs are my number one priority, but health is right up there as the second biggest priority of Government."

May Issue Features Discussion Paper
Suojin Wang, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Nonparametric Statistics
The May 2010 issue features a discussion paper, "Identification and Estimation of Nonlinear Models Using Two Samples with Nonclassical Measurement Errors," by Raymond Carroll, Xiaohong Chen, and Yingyao Hu. As the title indicates, this paper considers identification and estimation of a general nonlinear errors-in-variables model using two samples.
Special Rate for Members
Journal of Nonparametric Statistics is now a publication of the American Statistical Association. ASA members are entitled to a personal online subscription for $15 per volume. Click here to order.
This statistical problem is especially appealing in current research in econometrics, biology, and medicine. The authors show that the general latent nonlinear model is nonparametrically identified using the two samples when both could have nonclassical errors, without either instrumental variables or independence between the two samples. In addition, the authors propose sieve quasi maximum likelihood estimation for the parameter of interest and investigate its properties when the two samples are independent and the nonlinear regression model is parameterized.
Five experts—Aurore Delaigle, Peter Hall, Han Hong, Marie-Luce Taupin, and Young Truong—contribute interesting discussions from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. They offer additional insight and ideas for further research and development. These discussions are followed by a rejoinder.
The discussion paper, comments, and rejoinder will be freely available online until December 31.
In addition to the discussion and rejoinder papers, seven other papers appear in this issue. These papers cover a range of research interests in nonparametric statistics, from functional estimation to variable selection to goodness-of-fit testing. Click here to view the full table of contents.
