— Ace Sorry I blew off the blog the whole week.
Last week I was asked to write something, time-sensitive. (I'll tell you about it when/if I can.) It was due this week. I thought I could finish it last week, just working after work, but that didn't happen -- I just didn't have the juice for it.
Anyway, having blown a self-imposed deadline of last Sunday, I had to really burn at it to finish.
I kind of felt like Mozart writing the Requiem at the end of the movie. I was writing all day and night.
So, I'm sorry, it's just something I really had to do, and wouldn't get the opportunity to do again. And there was a deadline.
But I'm done. I'll blog more this weekend to make up for the lost week.

Ace calls this "work" now.
"It's the crack of noon, already. Gotta go to work."
"Honey, I'm home from work." "Well, Ace, did you pick up your socks? I'm not picking up after you." "I didn't wear socks today. See? Jammies."

BEGINNINGS
Greedo caught her eye from across the smoke-filled air of Mos Eisley Cantina. She was a knockout, with perky ears and sensuous shimmering scales. But would she ever know how he felt? Did she even know he existed? He stroked his blaster absently as he pondered.

I was one of those guys, but I stopped being one when I stopped ingesting life-threatening quantities of illegal drugs every day. I usually manage to pretend my now lost productivity and career success came because I was good at doing stuff (and stuff), and now I'm not, because...whatever. But it was all drugs.

Chapter One
The Opening
Thralgar the Magnificent stepped confidently onto the goat track. This was the way. This was the back door. This was the path, untrod by all but the lowest beast, which would lead him to the the secret entrance to dark Llleocaecal's kingdom. He gripped his spear tightly and thrust himself forward. He was strangely curious and, yes, he would admit, a little afraid. This was a new and strange journey he was embarking upon.

Wait, do you have a real job, besides this blog? I remember you getting all pissed at your readers because they were dropping the "f-bomb" and what-not all over your comments, and you were saying you didn't want advertisers bailing on your blog because of this.

I commented on that on the ONT - to sum up, wikileaks has put a gun to its own head and threatened to shoot if everyone doesn't back off.

Your report on the religious program is good. It tells us that people that are NOT politically active are getting disquieting messages about Obama.
When these people get upset, it bodes ill for Obama. Which is a good thing.

142 - from your link:
By the trick of letting current-law tax rates "expire," he can impose a $3.5 trillion 10-year tax increase that damages job-creating capital investment in an economy struggling to recover. And by failing to enforce the law and leaving America's borders open, he can continue to repopulate America with unfortunate illegals whose skill and education levels are low and whose political attitudes are often not congenial to American-style democracy.
Steny Hoyer(D) has this one covered. LIE!

142 - from your link...
Barack Obama, however, has pulled off the ultimate switcheroo: He's diminishing America from within — so far, successfully.
He may soon bankrupt us and replace our big merit-based capitalist economy with a small government-directed one of his own design.
He is undermining our constitutional traditions: The rule of law and our Anglo-Saxon concepts of private property hang in the balance. Obama may be the most "consequential" president ever.
The Wall Street Journal's steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is "an alien in the White House."
His bullying and offenses against the economy and job creation are so outrageous that CEOs in the Business Roundtable finally mustered the courage to call him "anti-business." Veteran Democrat Sen. Max Baucus blurted out that Obama is engineering the biggest government-forced "redistribution of income" in history.
and then... what Nuge said.

165 - from nuge link.
"We all saw it coming, but political correctness caused most of us to clam up in the ridiculous mindset that it was more important to avoid hurting feelings than to stand up for what we knew in our hearts was being trampled underfoot. Sadly, America has become a nation of ultra-thin-skinned, whining little girls, afraid of our own shadows and so cowardly as to back away from the simple solution of speaking the truth when we know we are supposed to do so."
hmm that reminds me of someone.

It is worth it to sit down with the show's aficionados and watch one episode. It will tell you why Chris Christie is just shuddering and why the Hampton, even for the jersey shore crowd, was so hot this year. No one, no one wants to utter the phrase "i'm heading to the jersey shore" anymore cause the judgments that are made about you when you say that are unbelievable. People literally paid into house shares and then were always way too busy to get out there, lol

Huh.
I'm kind of retroactively pissed.
I used to feel kind of let down sometimes when Ace wouldn't even bother phoning it in for days on end but I told myself, "Self, it's just one guy trying to write stuff that you love to read for free. Guy's gotta have a real life outside of this, yannow? It's not like this is his job or something. He's just a pretty cool dude, doin' his best to make more Ace posts."
Now?
I want fuckin' time-sheets man!
I feel entitled to track some sort of log of your writerly activities.
This kind of, after the fact, apology for blowing off your real job just ain't gonna cut it with me Mister!
I think that I've given you pretty much free rein to run your own blog the way you think best but I'm starting to rethink this policy.
Fair warning. If you don't buckle down and show me that you are committed to this project there will be consequences...

I think it's about time you spilled the beans and admitted that you were writing a new AD&D module for release at Gen Con. But what we really want to know is which title you chose - A5: Bunk Secrets of the Sex Slavers or G4: Hole of the Halfling Emperor?
