Kimothy? Queerly? (calling you!)
Hot days have found us. Hot days have tracked us down. They're trying to destroy our comfortable joy...
Yeah, it's 68 out there already; I just turned the a/c down to 72, so that it'll hopefully kick on around 10:00. I also just cranked the one in the bedroom, so that Trish could relax after taking her Synthroid. I did get out of bed around 6:45, though I'd awakened earlier. Trish woke up when I did, but as usual is napping in for another hour.
Just one day left of work for her! Yippie Skippy!
She felt disappointed yesterday when she found this out. She'd been looking forward to a day off, but since she was sick the last week, they decided to call her in.
Mostly just added the necromancy scene to Noc-Lar yesterday. Real atomic -- but rapidly drifting away from "formula". Have been seeking to ingratiate myself to Critters, so they'll DR the thing. I'm using a lot of the tech from Phoenix Enthralled, but that's even "worse" for the medieval fantasy people, as it's futuristic -- & (almost) any technology is anathema in genre fantasy, not to mention the joy of sex.
I worked on this piece, rather than "Galaxies", as I'm trying to multi-task, by structuring my writing/artwork/music & not becoming bound up in just one project. I'll be working on that one today, after reading the new issue of sciencenews.org.
I'm pretty pissed at the editorial staff at Jim Baen's Universe. When I asked if they accepted rewrites, "no, we'll ask for them" -- fine with me; "this story has an all too familiar Trek sounding technology" -- this guy is completely full of shit! The whole thing was deliberately written against Trek, starting with CHRIS down to the "gravity" -- the moron didn't even catch the Nietzsche allusion.
This is totally an insult! The only piece of Trek-tech is the "warp-bubble" -- but this is an idea that preceded Trek! So OK, if it's Trekkie, I can zap it with the word-replace key. This is no grounds to reject a whole manuscript! Psychons? Eccles & Popper coined the term, not me. What else? CHRIS? "Fractal consciousness?" Can't this guy read?
If they're going to react this way to hard science fiction, to stories that require that you be somewhat literate in science, high pay aside, I'm not going to send them anything more. If I pick up 3 rejection slips, after noting the superlative work I did in college/grad school, then I'm boycotting this piece of trash, at least until they come around begging for stories. By which time, hopefully, Mindstorm will have sold, amassed a lot of money, & I can laugh at their shitty little magazine.
The real news, expressed in Trish's blog, is that she's now willing to accept Kim.
& not.
Sometimes it's thrill-seeking for both of us; largely, it's, "It turns me on to see you turned on" -- but there are boundaries...
The problem is that it could lead to acute exacerbations of VADIS. Ever since I matriculated at the University of Night, I'd pursued -- obsessed with -- the Vast Active Destructive Intelligence System. (It's good Dick.)
I'm afraid that tampering with this complex set of manic/hypersexual symptoms could damage us both, & some of what Trish says about the boy-chick indicates that she isn't ready yet -- though access to a long-coveted Bo Dannon might be fun on Viagra.
Today's goal, once I finish my requisite reading, is to continue the re-make/re-model of "Galaxies", taking into account that there are uneducated imbeciles out there, editing science fiction magazines.
Trek-tech? I don't think so!
