I sometimes drift away from myself far enough to be amused by the truth of the matter that the music I most like listening to sounds like devils trying to scream at each other while the interstellar engine they’re fighting on is flying apart. Or something like that. A lot of chaotic noise. ;)
The last few days spammers have been trying harder than normal to post on some of my sites, and I’ve been updating the anti-spam code and algs to repulse them.
And the arms escalation is more fun to me than playing mmo’s or action games. :) lol.
I suppose that’s how you tell who’s a geek. ;)

The nice thing about writing a military scifi/horror book is that when you get frustrated you’re not done yet, you can have your main characters blow some [censored] up. Repeatedly. :)

So long, and thanks for all the false memories.
I think it’s funny how the word _quantum_, like _atomic_ before it, is now used by more and more commercial products to insinuate they are the biggest and most powerful, when in fact quanta are the most minuscule forces in nature.
Wondering if, considering holographic quantum entanglement, there is some way to compute from the dimensional correlation how many iterations of system mergers have occurred. That is, how deep down the rabbit hole our universe is.
Also have to wonder if there is a correlation between a) the observable acceleration of the expansion of the universe and b) the acceleration of space below the event horizon of a black hole. They seem awfully similar phenomena from a certain point of view.
From reading up on the holographic principle and black holes, it’s got me wondering if what we perceive as dark matter and dark energy are not actually the ‘surface’ properties of an event horizon of our universe. Muddled of course, like the surface of the ocean is when looking up from the depths. Hmm.

“I also had a wife with a typewriter who liked my stories” — Stephen King, _Salem’s Lot_.
I’m still wondering whether it was his wife or the typewriter that really liked his stories.
I seem to have just written a 20k word action-oriented chapter. Oops. Perhaps I can whittle that down to say just 18k later. :)
I killed one of the characters in my novel just now. So sad I am. :(

#wordweb is my friend. We have lots of interesting conversations throughout the day. Our favorite past-time is poking fun at people with all manner of silly adjectives she knows. Like trying on a new hats — or shoes –, it can keep you entertained for hours.
It can be amazingly difficult to write happy vibrant dialog for a 20-something when you’re a jaded misanthrope twice their age.
Over the last few weeks I have been gradually discovering a few things about how to write that are optimized to me — somewhat of an unexpected revelation is that I write best/most when I’m angry. Hating. Contemplating mass murder. That kind of thing.
I suppose I really should consider wandering off the reservation into the horror novel genre this considered then…. :->
Why is it all the science fiction stories I’m working on are actually horror? Hmm…. (‘Perhaps genre names aren’t so important in the days of ebook readers and infinite shelf-space…,’ he says to himself. The thought seems to make him happy so he gets back to work, ignoring the bloody zombies tapping at his door.)
It seems like it’s been a year I’ve been waiting for a final release — Oh wait, that’s because it has. ;) (Well, close enough.)
Finished another chapter. Working on a new difficult one I haven’t planned out very well so far. Hmm. #amwriting #writing
INSIGHT: When I type LOL, I do actually almost always mean LOLI instead — Laughing Out Loud Inside. All the noise is going on inside my head. It’s fairly quiet outside. Except for the incessant tap-tap-tapping on my keyboard. But I blame that mostly on the raven sitting on my monitor staring at me.
That kind of creeps me out some days actually, to be honest.
I wish there was a law that a persons’ IQ number had to appear next to any comments they made on the internet — and you could filter by it. It would make article comments so much more cognizant.

Finished first draft of one chapter I was working on. Went pretty fast at the end. Things happened I wasn’t planning on. It’s fun when I barely know how a scene is going to play out anymore than someone else reading it. (snort-out-loud). Have a few paragraphs of another chapter I might be able to churn through shortly.
Getting there.
