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.\u00a0 He also writes with his wife, Rebecca Moesta, who has written 32 novels herself.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and Rebecca at World Con in August, and it was sure a pleasure to see them again.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 I seriously considered offering him a puff on my asthma inhaler since it sounded so much like an asthma attack.\u00a0 Perhaps if the Empire had properly diagnosed his chronic condition early on, he might have had a much easier time of it.\u00a0 It must have been difficult, killing people and having to take a few minutes to recover each time an attack hit.\u00a0 Poor man.<\/p>\n
Last week, our club (the USS Pioneer (usspioneer.org) held the monthly Book\/Media discussion group meeting.\u00a0 We talk about what we’re reading and watching.\u00a0 The DVD Ironman came up, and of course, everyone loved the movie–several times.\u00a0 One of the couples, however, had a unique way of expressing their admiration–holding conversations to the tune of ‘Ironman’ by Black Sabbath.\u00a0 We tried it.\u00a0 David is pretty good, but I need work.\u00a0 Jennifer is a natural.\u00a0 Kinda scary, now that I think of it.<\/p>\n
We got one of the 2 tuner DVRs through Dish.\u00a0 Awesome so far, but it’s pretty intimidating to know that 150 hours are available….. how long can we keep it from getting full?\u00a0 Since I don’t have a magic 8 ball, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
Facebook is my new obsession.\u00a0 I LOVE Facebook.\u00a0 If you’re on, look me up.\u00a0 I have a few games I play, I have a virtual kitten and puppy, and lots of friends.\u00a0 Check it out.\u00a0 I love it.<\/p>\n
I worked the Obama campaign today again.\u00a0 I talked to some people who were amazing.\u00a0 When someone tells you that they aren’t voting for Obama because he’s BLACK.\u00a0 What???\u00a0 Are you kidding?\u00a0 Luckily I didn’t talk to very many people that have that attitude.\u00a0 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?\u00a0 Get serious.\u00a0 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!”<\/p>\n
We’ve got our vacation coming up in a couple of weeks.\u00a0 On Oct 12th, we’re heading to Cabo San Lucas.\u00a0 Hopefully, the hurricanes will avoid Baja this time.\u00a0 Reading up on activities again, and seeing what’s new.\u00a0 Looking forward to it.\u00a0 I’m planning to get my hair cornrowed again, even let my bangs grow out so they can be included this time.\u00a0 I start my new job the morning after we return.\u00a0 Should be a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
Well, that’s enough rambling for the evening.\u00a0 Time for bed.\u00a0 If anyone reads this, let me know, would you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
