I just got finished with the first edit on Loving Sarajevo. It consumed my life for the past two weeks so I was happy to finish it and send it off last night. Like, so happy I may have cried a little. I thought I’d get to write today. I was so excited only to wake up and have the editor for Backdoor Politics message me to tell me to expect the first edits on that story soon. My life is a never ending loop of editing hell.

Another Chapter for Beyond the Milky Way! I meant to tell people that this isn’t your average scifi. So, don’t expect any Star Wars/Star Trek stuff in this  

gutted and spent.  How can companies treat employees so badly?

Haven’t used this in a while… Chapter 3.3 for Beyond the Milky Way is live!

So, my boy goes back to the vet yet again for a glucose curve on Monday.  Hopefully, the dosage worked out on Friday is the one that’ll work.  It has certainly made a marked difference in his overall behavior!  He’s doing things he hasn’t felt like doing for the last month!

Computer my computer back today but after 3 days of solid testing, they weren’t able to replicate the problem.  The only variable was that they used their on monitor rather than mine of course.  But if there’s a problem of some kind with my monitor then they clearly wouldn’t have found it.  I have a feeling the problem hasn’t gone away so now it’s waiting time to see if and when it does it again.  If it does then I’ll take the computer and monitor up and they can check things that way.  Damn this is frustrating and stressful.

My The Loud House fanfic “Whoops” surpassed 30,000 hits yesterday, which is more than double the number for any other fanfic I’ve ever written (and a lot of those have been posted for years). Not sure why this one is so popular, but I ain’t complainin’.

Upgraded forum and mod gallery today, caught up on new reg sheet, and am catching up on minors and such

Well it seems like all the stress and extended working hours do take a toll after all, and the upshot of it all is that now I'm really not very well. And I still have lots of hours to work this week.
I may be MIA for an extended period of time.
I'm afraid to say I haven't been writing anything either – not a sausage – so updates to my stories are on indefinite hold for now. Sorry about that.
Now, while I can, I am going back to bed.

Nearly all of my work is now deleted from the other place. I feel good about this. What couldn’t be deleted (giftwork) is orphaned, and I just have a small handful of co-written fic to deal with. Still haven’t figured those out yet. I will.
Unfortunately, my increased working hours are not even nearly over.

I am mostly not here.
But while I am here, if you’re not already aware of them, I would like to introduce you to the ‘I See You’ stories by comedian Sam Gore.
The Meryl Streep one is particularly good…

It is likely that a chapter of ‘Ai o Juten’ will be posted at some point today.

WARNING: Politics and bad language… but I was provoked (on the bad language). I make no excuse for my politics.
Hahaha...
The Speaker of the House of Commons in the UK (John Bercow), has said this about the possibility of Trump talking to MPs:
“We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of The Speaker. However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.”
So basically he’s said: hey, let’s not.
Unlike the BBC, I don’t think I need to include the idiot comments (who shall remain unnamed), being as he is a complete and utter **** who used £4000 of public money to keep his fucking stables warm… FFS. But he’s not happy… bizzare! He’s like one of those minority members of UKIP, who you just think… what the hell are you doing there? Get out you imbecile! But then for some people greed trumps everything (so to speak) – even victimisation of your own ethnicity, since he was born in Iraq and so has been unable to enter the US for the best part of a week. What a moron!

So, my work schedule appears to finally normalizing.  We’ll see how long that lasts.
Agenda for today:
Upgrade the forum
catch up on self admitted minors
hunt other minors
continue the finalization of character set conversion in buffy, where I’m working

Upgrading the forum, will be doing this over the next half hour or so.

WARNING: Personal politics ahead...
So the petition against Trump making a state visit now has over 1.5m signatures. For context, the UK has a population of about 52m people who are over the age of fourteen.
This evening, I was off out protesting in Sheffield. For such short notice there were a lot of people, so many we closed the main road in front of the town all. At one point I was out on the edges, when a woman asked me what it was about, since she had just finished work. I told her; so she joined in.
Of all the slogans I heard chanted tonight, “Trump – better out than in!” is probably my favourite. Followed closely by the “Theresa the appeaser!” mentions from the speakers.
Also memorable is the moment when a girl stood up in front of the microphone and declared: “I am a muslim woman! And an activist!” to rapturous applause.
I’ve got to admit, I have (especially in my younger years) participated in many anti-racist and anti-fascist protests, marches and rallies, but this is the first where I felt protest and civic duty really merged together into one.
 

Is anyone else, like me, looking at the news in sheer unbelieving horror?
Or has everyone taken the route of sanity and turned it off?
Refugees denied, families seperated, US residents denied entry… suddenly that TV section from the newspaper about the inauguration doesn’t seem as funny.
And I swear everyone around him.. you can see in their eyes that they know he’s completely and utterly insane. They just haven’t got a clue what to do about it.
This is some really, really bad shit… and terrifying. 

Goodbye and RIP John Hurt
Who said of Downton Abbey: “I just think it is poxy! I mean, I'm sorry, but it is rotten writing and rotten acting.“
And also this: “I remember talking to Olivier when we were doing Lear. He said: 'When it comes to your obituary they will only mention two or three performances, and they will be the ones that defined you early on.' I said: 'What will they write about you?' Richard III and Wuthering Heights_', he replied. And he was right.”
So today you’ll hear a lot about his death scene in Alien, and his role as The Elephant Man, but let’s also remember we’ve lost a man who played The Doctor, who voiced the dragon in Merlin, Winston from the film 1984, Mr Olivander from the Harry Potter films, and the narrator of Dogville (which imho is one of most horrific studies into human nature ever conceived).
 

Well… it’s been a strange few days, that’s for sure!
Here are some examples of “alternative facts” for reference:
Despite photographic evidence, in terms of visible crowds, less is more.
A unicorn just flew past my window with a can of Red Bull in its mouth. It had a sign around its neck saying it was a Pegasus.
Being sent abusive comments means you are guilty of harassment.
The world is actually flat.
There is no such thing as marmite.
I do not have work in the morning.
I am not going to bed.
I am not saying goodnight.

It is likely there will be a new chapter of The Teacher tomorrow.
 

So yesterday I knitted a bobble hat for the dog. You can’t tell, but she’s really impressed.
