Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

You'd best learn from the butterflies...



Even in the natural world, women have about had it with men.

According to this story posted on Yahoo! News, there's a bacteria running amok in the butterfly world.

It changes male butterflies into female, allows female butterflies to reproduce on their own and even makes females a lot sluttier. And in many cases, kills the male butterflies right off.

So while this is good news for the few remaining butterflies (lots of cooch), it has a wonderfully ominous suggestion that even in the natural world, it's possible to do without menfolk.

Somewhere there's an angry female scientist toying with the bacteria to see if it can be adapted to mammals...

I love the new look. Much more user-friendly.

I hope the wake and wedding were - you know - not horrible.

Dear god, another clone?
Hmmm.
It *would* make Thursday nights rather entertaining...

Thanks for the compliments. The old set-up was rather dreary, so thought this would be a little something new.

Had the funeral, but there was no wake (I find this astonishing), and the wedding was reasonably good.

Although a six-course meal that takes 3.5 hours is a bit much, even for me...

And pantyhose and heels are surely the devil.
