Happy Second Week Of The New Year!

Okay. So I’ve been off the radar for a while. But I did a lot of good work in the last three weeks, so I’m not too sad about that. But 2010 is going to find me a changed woman, yes it will. Here’s what I’ll do:

New Year Resolutions (Excerpt)

1) Sell Book

2) Write A Lot More Books

3) Update Blog More Often (Now, away from the 56k modems of Greece and with our home internet connection working once more, than might actually work out. Maybe I should add another one 4) Don’t Make Empty Promises.)

That’s it for now, back to typing my handwritten manuscript and playing Borderlands. Expect to hear from me soon.

X-mas Erotica

Everone sing along:

O Titty Claus, O Titty Claus

Your boobies great delight us.

They’re rather big and o so round.

They’re choc’latey and nipple-crowned.

O Titty Claus, O Titty Claus.

Your boobies great delight us.

(Spotted at a local confectionery shop. The shop itself is rather nice and their products are excellent, but I think this time they maybe didn’t quite think their latest idea through before putting it on the market. I for one nearly died of laughter when I saw this little guy in the shop window.)

These Being the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero

Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man, except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?

Marcus Tullius Cicero, who was assassinated 2052 years ago today, wrote this.  It seems to me that nowadays ancient Rome is more a myth than reality for most people. It takes a conscious effort to think of Caesar, Mark Anthony, Brutus, Octavian and Cicero and remember that they were real people.

I grieve for the Roman Republic. What splendour could we have achieved today if the republic hadn’t ended?

I think we would already be on Mars. Have colonies on other worlds. Giant space stations. Medical and scientific knowledge beyond our wildest dreams.

I wish I had known him and his contemporaries. These must have been fascinating times.

Search Engine Term Of The Week (Episode 4)

Today:

Ouch!

And here I thought I wouldn’t find anything to write about this week. Would have been embarrassing to close this series down after only three episodes. But my salvation came on Saturday evening in form of the yuckiest search engine term I can imagine.

There is only one question: why? I mean, this page may have a pussy in the banner, but it hardly looks like a porn site.

You know what? I don’t want to know. That’s all I have to say.

That and yuck!
