Grumbling Again

Some days I grumble so much I start to wonder if I'm related to Victor Meldrew.

I'm working six days a week and eleven hours a day at the moment - it's summer, light nights, warmish dry days - we try to get as much done as possible with the extra time available. I'm grateful for the overtime, really I am, I'm saving to go to the USA next year. But it doesn't leave a lot of time for things like emailing friends, reading books, or working on the allotment.

I was going to do some work on that on Sunday but we had torrential rain all day. Ok, we desperately needed the rain and I was damn' glad to see it, but it did kind of wreck any hopes I had of getting the courgettes (zucchini) in.

And then my flamin' crown came out - again!! I wish I'd never had the blasted thing put in. It's spent more time over the past two years in an envelope, waiting to be put back in, than it has actually in my mouth!! I'm so glad I didn't let the dentist talk me into crowning that other one. Although I did let her convince me to have it veneered. I had that done over a year ago and it still feels weird when I catch sight of it in the mirror. It had been broken, crooked and discoloured since I was fifteen and seeing it straight, complete, and white (ish) still looks strange.

And on top of everything else DC are f***ing with my favourite comics!! Not that I seem to be able to get them at the moment anyway, but when I can get them I want my Birds of Prey with Oracle if you please!! I don't want her going back to Batgirl!!

Ah well, at least I managed to find time to get my hair cut. It was getting a little bit longer than I like. And the sun had bleached the top so it looked like I'd had blonde highlights done. That all got cut out and back to my normal colour. It's usually a very light brown with almost red tones in strong sunlight, (my hairdresser may say it's "dark blonde" but I prefer to call it mousey brown).

You have updates!

The kids and I are in the home stretch. This is the last week of school for us. Duncan and I have half days for part of the week and Cal has a half day on Friday. Since we ended up having a weekly staff meeting this year (as opposed to bi weekly last year), I won't be obligated to work the rest of the day on the half days. It'll be kind of cool to be able to leave and not have to hunt for things to clean for a couple of hours.

We'll have a full week at home and then we head to Oklahoma to visit family. E and little e will stay far away from the Oklahoma heat. The kids will stay a few more weeks than I will. I'll come back to Summer School for my student.

E and I have tentatively planned to put a new roof on the storage addition to the house. We may end up biting off more than we can chew but it should make my summer exciting.

On wittering and trauma

It's Pentecost this coming weekend, so for all our Christian readers, A Blessed Pentecost to you.

Had a couple of emails in response to yesterday's ramble. People were amused by the pain, the trauma, the sheer agony I went through with those kids... amused!! By my trauma. **sobs**

Actually, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it, and I glad if I could make you smile for a moment or two. I do wonder sometimes if I witter on too much. And if people get bored by my nattering about the disaster zone which is my daily life. I'm glad that (for some of you at least) that's not the case, and that you still do enjoy my blathering.

Especially since I'm likely to continue to wend my way through life leaving chaos and destruction in my wake, and I'm more than likely going to continue inflicting tales of the results of that chaos onto you, my long-suffering audience.

See you next week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

But why Mister...

I am so glad the kids are back at school. Last week was half-term. There's a field beside the site I'm working on currently, which is apparently a favourite playground for a group of kids. There were six of them. Five boys and a girl. All around seven or eight. And bloody annoying they were too.

For some reason kids find construction work fascinating, which meant I had a very attentive audience as I was putting up the scaffolding. And they can't just watch quietly, can they??

"What are you doing, mister??"

"I'm putting up scaffolding and I'm not mister."

"Why??"

"Why what??"

"Why are you putting up scaffolding??"

Pause for breath, and to remind myself that they're just kids, so sarcastic retorts such as "because it won't put itself up" or "because we can't hover that high" are not helpful.

"Because we need it to climb on."

"What are you doing now mister??"

"Bolting on the locking collar. And I'm not mister"

"What's that mister??"

"It's the thing that holds the poles together so they don't slip and collapse. And I'm not mister."

The girl then decided to chip in - a little more intelligently than the boys. "Are you tightening the bolts now, miss??"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing."

The boys definitely weren't as smart. "Don't say miss. He can't be miss, girls can't do that job."

"Girls can too do this job. I'm a girl and I'm doing it." (Oh boy, now I've regressed, I'm eight years old again!!)

The girl chimed up again. "I want to do that when I'm old like you. I can, can't I miss??"

Oh great. Now I'm old. "Yes, you can. You can be anything you want."

"What are you doing now miss??"

Adding another level. We need to to reach the roof."

"Why??"

It went on for five days. Five long, hot, gruelling, torturous days.

Why are there laws that say you're not allowed to beat small boys unconscious with scaffolding poles?? It doesn't seem fair.

I'm so glad they're back at school this week.

Ramble from phair

Yeah, take it away, phair!

I've been neglectful about my rambles. Or maybe, the projects I've been lucky enough to work on these last few months, have kept my focus elsewhere. Either way, I haven't spent enough time properly gushing to you nice folks about the cool project I'm working on with Anders.

The Shirtless Girl of the Week Project is a great excuse for Anders and me to write stories together and be all around bad influences on each other. The stories are concepts we develop together and then hammer out scenes trying to mesh our distinct writing styles. The bad influence part is we live in nearly polar opposite time zones. So, my day is her night; I'm sunshine to her moonshine, as it were. We are both losing sleep and running late for work trying to catch up with each other.

We completed the first story, Ice Flames in record time. Which is amazing because neither of us had co-written anything before. Still more surprising was the content! An epic tale of sword and sorcery. I had never considered writing fantasy before Anders shot me an email with a brilliant story idea. My contribution was a gang of the most obnoxious bad guys you'd ever care to read about.

Somehow, Anders was kind enough to not only indulge me but suggest another story idea as we wrapped up Ice Flames. deadtown is a murder mystery in the spirit of the hardboiled detectives from pulp fiction days. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite stories too. The story's atmosphere is so vivid I can almost smell the lead character's gun oil.

You can check out both stories at Anders' site
betting-on-the-muse.com

Write one or both of us and tell us what you think. We love feedback. Well, sometimes, I've been known to get into fits of pique but Anders tends to be very friendly.

phair

Well there you have it...check out their fun and you may even see those updates here (when I am not being a flake). Let them know what you think. And phair, thanks for the ramble!

Enjoy your updates!

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Hype!

And now for some hype from Allaine....

"Lebanese" - Glee Brittana Authors Lynne Arlington and Losdosmos - Airing: 6/23/11

www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2011/06/24/brittana

Last week Femslash4Fans Radio embarked on its third season by revisiting a fandom which had previously been discussed here, "Xena: Warrior Princess". While I don't plan on making it a habit, we'll be doing it again this week as F4F returns to the hit FOX drama "Glee", which we previously discussed in late 2009. At the time, "Glee" had already become a monster television hit, with a femslash fandom that seemed to be growing by leaps and bounds. After just thirteen episodes, a lot of attention was focused on the two attractive female leads among the glee club singers, outcast Rachel Berry and head Cheerio Quinn Fabray, and so naturally I concentrated on Rachel/Quinn with my three guests that night. But we did spare some time to discuss an alternate pairing from the show, one that linked the OTHER Cheerios to join glee with Quinn, Santana Lopez and Brittany S. Pierce.

While neither character had many lines in those first episodes, they quickly became fan favorites - partly because while dimwitted Brittany hardly seemed to speak at all, when she opened her mouth classic one-liners always seemed to come out. And when that included a revelation that she and Santana were sleeping together in the episode "Sectionals", well, that was all it took. Rachel/Quinn continues to be a popular pairing, and in fact it always seems like where one pairing goes in fanfic, the other is sure to follow. But events in Season Two, particularly Santana realizing she was gay and in love with Brittany, only fueled the popularity of "Brittana".

Tonight we'll be talking to two authors who have more than enough experience with Brittana and "Quinchel". Lynne Arlington has written several stories about Brittana, including the "nerd verse" and the AU epics "Love is a Burning Thing" and "They Say Bad Things Happen For a Reason". And LosDosMos wrote fics like "Canteloupe Confessions" and "Power Play", not to mention her own AU, "What Is Done In the Dark". We'll be joined by my cohost Grdnofevrythng, who was one of my guests during the FIRST Glee show, and who has helped me with past interviews like for "Popular" and "The Devil Wears Prada".

Okay, set a reminder for this one all you Glee femslash fans. Enjoy the update!

Hype!

A little hype to announce some "Almost summer reading...".

Nuance Books is proud to announce . . . the fourth book in our Zerynthia’s Tales series, She Stole My Heart and Other Stories by Milagros Silva.

A delightful collection of stories by the author of “The Night of the 18th” published in Toe to Toe: Standing Tall and Proud.

Cat burglars to aging divas, a therapeutic massage to a medical emergency, revenge fantasies to “what is art?” discussions to ramblings on the meaning of life. These stories bring to life a collection of fascinating women as they find, explore, and recognize their human frailties and strengths.

Available in print and as an ebook through online and physical bookstores worldwide.

Haere mai!
Welcome to Affinity E-Book Press NZ LTD
June 2011 Newsletter Kia Ora readers.June when the nights really do draw in and I snuggle down with a good book and the infinite delight of getting to know so many wonderfully crafted characters.

Erin O’Reilly, had an accident recently and has broken her wrist. She made a darned good job of it too. I tell you that lady doesn’t do things by half measures. Of course as our technical director it hasn’t slowed anything down; we have the lovely Nancy in attendance for technical matters. However, as a writer, her newest offer for this month, the sequel to Wolf At The Door, last month’s free story, has had to be rescheduled. We apologise for the inconvenience, be assured next month you will be happy with the brand new novels on offer. We wish her a full and speedy recovery.

As always if you have any news or comments you want to share, please contact me at Affinity eBooks

Ok ever onwards my fellow readers, what’s new for June.
