*more squeeage*

I've been reading McCaffrey almost as long as I've been alive.... I just picked up the Pern novel she and her son co-wrote. It was good, but not worth the utterly usurious price - I mean really, eight bucks for a 200ish-page paperback?!

Todd's writing the next one on his own; it'll be interesting to see what direction he takes the series in.

Got it, Blue!

Z, you still there? Hope you don't mind all the questions!
Wow!! It's 1am...I should probably get some sleep!!

Broke it in, not broke it. KitchenAids are indestructible. You can breathe again.

Purple what did you think of the acorna series? I must say that I couldn't even get through the first one.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 10:43 pm

I hear you Purple. That one wasn't worth the high price. I haven't read the last one. I won't shell out for a hardcover. I like PB's.

OH!! Broke it in!! Oh, good!!

The Crystal Singer series was pretty good.

I really liked that one as well.

I'm still here just went wandering a little

I feel a little weird because it's not like I have years of experience, but you know that so I'm enjoying sharing what I can.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 10:51 pm

Z, thank you so much!!

Dang! I gotta go to bed, I am flippin' tired!
Goodnight, Z, Blue and Purple!
Catch you later! Nice chatting with you!

(Walks in slowly with ass dragging behind)

Good evening folks. Actually morning in my time zone. I can’t even begin to catch up on the 20 pages that appeared in my absense, just too damn tired.

So... what’s new in the old bar tonight? Solve any major world problems? And how bout a good dark beer, barkeep. Your choice and give one to whomever else might need a refill... my treat.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:03 pm

One Guiness for LeChat, ooo and I think I'll refresh my Absolut Lemonade

Blue slips behind bar and pours one perfect glass of Guiness, then sets it in front of LeChat

I have yet to try, actually. Can't tell you why. Haven't read the Freedom stories, either - but in that case I can explain it:

The short story that Anne* expanded to make Freedom's Landing was written in the late 60's to cash in on the lucrative soft-core porn market. ("The Thorns of Barevi," originally published in 1970, collected in Get Off The Unicorn.) My disbelief suspenders don't stretch that far, sadly.

*I've exchanged snail letters and email with her on and off over the last 20 years, inheriting my mother's pen-pal relationship with her; I think I can drop names. *grin*

*laughs* My online persona in Reality Camp (IOW, any non-Bman-related online venue) is K`shandra; it was Killashandra for years and years, but the IRC channel where I was hanging out had a nine-character limit for screen names.

An angel...

A beer bearing angel...

That’s what you are, Blue.

So How did the day treat you, Zulegoona, Blue, et.al.?

Sensei's home... home and dry is always good.

Hey, purplekoosh... what cha' yammerin about down there at the other end of the bar?

I actually didn't notice it was purple; I just noticed it was a flute.

Koosh, wow that's really cool. I liked the landing series, and I know what you mean. There is a little beastiality in it.

Sensei, I wondered when you'd get back.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:13 pm

LeChat, how'd everything go today?

Science fiction in various and sundry formats. Got any favorites?

Not a real productive day mostly just hanging out with the dogs

That's my story too. I found it on e-slay for not-too-much and it sounds like it, but hey, it's a purple flute!

I'll take a margarita if anyone's servin'. Thanks.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:27 pm

Ahh...

Went as well as could be expected. Not bad by any means, mind you. I dropped off and was paid for the two tables I created. That was good.

Then I went to the record shop to kill time before meeting my bud. I had two things in mind when I went in there:

1) Stoppiing in wouldn’t make me late for meeting up with friends

2) I wouldn’t spend any money.

I was wrong on both accounts...

The biggest drag of the day was the installation.. Or rather re-installation of some railing sections. The powder coater I used to use botched the job, the powder is flaking off and now I’ve got to dismount, sandblast, paint, and rehang some 225 feet of rail. Said powder coater is now out of business, not much suprise there. Today was rehanging the first 6 sections to be refinished and dismount 6 more... 38 more sections to go!!!

But all in all, it really wasn’t that bad, really. I take stuff like that in stride... ain’t nuttin’ but a thang.

(Grinning my sly “sneer” over the top of my fresh Guiness)

Hey, Z... any day with the critters is a good day as far as I'm concerned.

And PK, I've only read one of Terry Pratchett's books... Small Gods. Very good read... When my brother gave it to me, He inscribed on the inside cover, "A very important book cleverly disguised as a bit of fantasy fluff". Spot on...

Thanks.

Before I head off to the nether world for an indeterminate time, I'd like to offer this toast:

To Blueniteowl, LeChatNoir, PurpleKoosh and Zulegoona!

Skol!

Take care and don't stay up too freakin' late, kids. Remember to lock up!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:38 pm

Good night Sensei, sleep tight, hope to see you again soon.
