So today I'm working. Really. Got a long playlist of Pearl Jam and I'm looking to push Richard past 67k. I'm finally feeling recovered from the stomach bug and I'll be venturing once more into the breach when I sub tomorrow (they actually called me Friday night, and when I told them I'd probably be good for Monday, I was told that I'm "fabulous", and "our go-to guy", which is f-ing awesome).

In the meantime, I've been plowing through episodes of 30 Rock, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, and I'm ...

Free Fiction Friday: "Let The River Run" - Part 1 - SFW

Welcome back to Free Fiction Friday!

Sorry that this wasn't a 12:01 even though it's been done all week. Been rather sick for the last few days (I had to watch over the In-School Suspension kids this week, meaning I was stuck in a very small room with bad ventilation for several kids who were obviously sick), so I've been pretty wiped out.

Those of you who visited the TQ Social on my b-day have already read this, but I wanted to post it here to make officially part of FFF.

If you're new to Free...

It's time for...

Good News: With the classes I subbed for today, my total number of logged teaching hours is over 100!

Bad News: I have apparently contracted a nasty stomach bug that will keep me out of school for the next couple days.

Good News: Thanks to royalties, my paycheck, and b-day money, bills are paid for last month, this month, and a good chunk of next month.

Bad News: There are still people pirating my work, who believe that because I have a day job now, stealing my work is okay because they aren'...

As I've mentioned, today's my b-day. So as a result, one of my friends always makes a point of making sure I hear a certain birthday song that is, arguably, the most metal b-day song ever.

Looks like I'm not getting called in today, which means writing time!

Got House of Stone past 65k last night, I think I'm about 10k out from the end.

In other news, check out the new icon! \m/^_^\m/

God-damned Swine Flu Scares...

Housemate: "So uh, what'd you think of her?"

Me: "Your date? She was nice. Decent looking, good sense of humor, good conversationalist with a high threshold for 'deviant topics'."

Housemate: "Kinda miss her already."

Me: "Well yeah, the date went well. You said there was other news though?"

Housemate: "Yeah uh... She just texted me to tell me that her family's coming down with H1N1, and we kind of might have been exposed while she was here."

Me: "..."

And so begins the three-day self-quarantine, mi...

Ahhh, Lipton Energize Tea, tonight I celebrate my love for you. :)

Caffeine, ginseng, and it tastes kinda like blueberries.

Working on Richard tonight. Got him to 64k last night, going to push for 65k tonight.

Still not going into details about my date later this week. Said information requires a Fag Hag Security Clearance Level of at least 8.

Free Fiction Friday: "Dead In The Water" - Part 15 - SFW

I honestly don't know how I did this.

I felt like crap today, and it was like my mind came together in a moment of perfect clarity, and suddenly the entire story laid itself out before me, and I laid down about 4500 words in about three hours. I know for a fact I'll never be able to do that again.

Regardless, welcome to the conclusion of "Dead In The Water"! It's an extra long section this week, mostly so you guys wouldn't be stuck waiting for an epilogue. :) This won't be the final story for...
