This and That
Tonight we went to a signing for Kevin J. Anderson, who is well known for writing Star Wars books, the new Dune books (with Brian Herbert) and many more. He also writes with his wife, Rebecca Moesta, who has written 32 novels herself. They had many giveaways, including the first novel in their newest series, Crystal Doors–they were giving these out for free to anyone who wanted one. We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and Rebecca at World Con in August, and it was sure a pleasure to see them again.
Along for the ride were members of the 501st, with 4 Storm Troopers and of course, Darth Vader. As we sat there listening to Kevin, I was distracted by Darth’s breathing. I seriously considered offering him a puff on my asthma inhaler since it sounded so much like an asthma attack. Perhaps if the Empire had properly diagnosed his chronic condition early on, he might have had a much easier time of it. It must have been difficult, killing people and having to take a few minutes to recover each time an attack hit. Poor man.
Last week, our club (the USS Pioneer (usspioneer.org) held the monthly Book/Media discussion group meeting. We talk about what we’re reading and watching. The DVD Ironman came up, and of course, everyone loved the movie–several times. One of the couples, however, had a unique way of expressing their admiration–holding conversations to the tune of ‘Ironman’ by Black Sabbath. We tried it. David is pretty good, but I need work. Jennifer is a natural. Kinda scary, now that I think of it.
We got one of the 2 tuner DVRs through Dish. Awesome so far, but it’s pretty intimidating to know that 150 hours are available….. how long can we keep it from getting full? Since I don’t have a magic 8 ball, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
Facebook is my new obsession. I LOVE Facebook. If you’re on, look me up. I have a few games I play, I have a virtual kitten and puppy, and lots of friends. Check it out. I love it.
I worked the Obama campaign today again. I talked to some people who were amazing. When someone tells you that they aren’t voting for Obama because he’s BLACK. What??? Are you kidding? Luckily I didn’t talk to very many people that have that attitude. I really thought that this country was past that–are we going to elect a leader who is NOT the right choice simply because the right candidate is not white? Get serious. One funny call I had today–after I introduced myself, the lady of the house hurridly said, “I promise we’ll vote for him, if you promise not to give us the big speech!”
We’ve got our vacation coming up in a couple of weeks. On Oct 12th, we’re heading to Cabo San Lucas. Hopefully, the hurricanes will avoid Baja this time. Reading up on activities again, and seeing what’s new. Looking forward to it. I’m planning to get my hair cornrowed again, even let my bangs grow out so they can be included this time. I start my new job the morning after we return. Should be a lot of fun.
Well, that’s enough rambling for the evening. Time for bed. If anyone reads this, let me know, would you?

Sounds like fun. I could never get very far in Dune myself. I did pick up a copy of Paul Of Dune and read the first 20 or so pages prior to buying it. It was enough to get me to buy it and put it on my very large To Be Read pile … Ciao

So what exactly do you like about Obama?
Personally I don’t trust anyone who write’s his memoirs at the age of 35. Most people do that after the pinnacle achievement in their life. Sounds very narcissistic to me. Can’t bring myself to vote for a narcissist.
Of course maybe he achieved all that he was capable of back then? Still doesn’t sound encouraging for President. Besides Bill Clinton is already the first black president.
