Stuck in the Void

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Mr. g, A Story of  Creation. (Reviewed two weeks ago, see blog.) I’m having a hard time digesting  that a capricious being, stuck in the Void, created billions of universes
 because he was bored. 

It’s just a novel, you say? 

 I know it’s just a novel. 

Still, it bothers me. 

Mr. g also has an aunt and uncle who are as capricious as Mr. g and odder if possible.  The entire  novel reminds me of Alice in Wonderland where Mr. g is the Red Queen. Something  to consider is that Mr. Carroll’s novel upset me as well.  

I do not like worlds where bizarre beings create and misanthropy rules. 

Ok, I’m done with that. 

Have you ever had a morning when nothing went well? When you burn your forehead with a curling iron and leave a nasty welt?


Things to know: 

1. When you come off chemo and  your hair grows back, it sticks up in unmanageable fashion, giving the bearer a halo effect. 

2. Crohn’s makes losing weight  easy. Except when you are on prednisone.  Some upside you think?

3. I get my news from Zero  Hedge. I’m not sure what that says about me. 

As I was leaving work yesterday it began to snow. Nice. First bit of real weather since last April. We even have wind advisories for today. I think I’ll go home, light a fire, clean the house, eat steak, and watch an old  black and white movie. I saw Gaslight last night with Ingrid Bergman. Darn good entertainment. Maybe I’ll bake chocolate chip cookies. This is the first weekend  I’ve had off from family and friends since before Christmas. 

We live in an era of propaganda that is accepted by the general populace. This drives me nuts. I mean spend an hour with Fox then an hour with MSNBC. You can throw in CNN if you want but it’s the same blather. My heart-felt prayer is that some news source will start spouting the truth about what’s going
on in the world. Here’s a sincere hope for education before the next election. 
 
Did I ever mention I am a Libertarian? Even so, I can’t vote for Ron Paul. I cannot agree with isolationism, even if it sounds wonderful. Besides, we don’t make anything in the US anymore. 

Republicans have had far too many debates.  
 
Obama will have over one billion dollars to run his reelection campaign. 

Did you know that as soon as a person is elected they begin the reelection process? Maybe that says something about the way politicians do  business. 

My poor deer are cold and wet. They look miserable huddled in the backyard. I wish I could bring them into the house, but I don’t think my dogs  would like it. They are very possessive about my bed. Sometimes they don’t like me or my husband on it. 

We’ve taken to shutting down the house and moving into the bedroom to eat and watch T.V. We have a portable heater we use to heat the room  while I scurry back and forth cooking dinner. I really want one of those electric heaters that look like a fireplace because when your electric/propane bill tops 400.00 a month you have to make some changes. I simply refuse to give  400.00 to PG&E. I’d rather play penny machines and drink margaritas with the extra cash. 

I’m reading Ruined by Kinley Baker. It’s a fantasy novel that’s really good.She received a five star review. Check out her novel here: www.crescentmoonpress.com/book/Ruined.html. It is worth your time if you are into paranormal romance. 

Sean is another up and coming author from Crescent Moon. I haven’t read Shadow Of Tiamat yet, but plan to. I just love the name Tiamat. It  would be a neat name for a girl. Check out his blog at www.crescentmoonpress.com/blog.

 And so I end my musings for this week. Oh, and before I forget,  The Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest is just getting started. The contest  brings together talented writers, reviewers, and publishing experts to develop  new voices in fiction. They are a talented bunch so head on over to www.amazon.com/breakthrough-novel-award-books. If the link doesn’t work just Google
it. 

Happy weekend reading everyone!
