I'm currently enjoying my summer vacation time, and tomorrow I'll be flying to Ukraine for a visit to Kiev and then Lviv. Back in about a week.

Ta da!

Safely landed in the new house and online again (one took a lot longer than the other). Will be busy unpacking, etc. for awhile.

Happy news from last Friday is that I'm one of five general fiction semi-finalists for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award this year!

[Weeble]

Have fun KTR

Excellent news and good luck Alelou, oh hell ya gotsit in da bag!

[Alelou]

I doubt that, Weeble, but it's been fun getting this far. (It hasn't helped sales in the slightest, though, so it hasn't been THAT fun.)

[Eireann]

Fabulous news, Alelou!

When will you know the result?

[Alelou]

July 8. I don't even know what to hope for, honestly. I was planning to go out to the other stores, but I'm not sure if that can happen if you're published by Amazon.

Jolene is pregnant again, for the third time. See these photos taken just a few days ago:



She's obviously keeping busy being a mom, which is why we haven't seen her in much these past few years.

[Asso]

I must say that as a brunette and as T'Pol ... well ... I like her more.

But your picture is Mirror T'Pol - the blonde version

[Alelou]

I'm with Asso on this one. Some people can fake it successfully, but some people just aren't blondes.

Just like that. Honestly, set that way, well, she looks fake. Just so. And, if I have to be completely sincere, despite the attire, she is much less provocative than she was in the TV show.

Oh and for the record, Putaro, my MU T'Pol is not blonde. It is that her hair is so silken, that it glows golden in the light.

I agree with most of this:

Not Guilty: Star Trek: Enterprise

[Weeble]

Thanks for the link KTR. Interesting opinions. I don't agree with all of the plusses and minus's (T'Pol = bad??? bullpuckey!) As a confirmed Archer-phobe I will always maintain he was the wrong actor for the role and the tried to write him larger than he ever could be.

Hmmm...as the recent author of Enterprise snark, I have to say that the first season is way too easy of a target. With such an experienced writing and production team there's no excuse for the quality of the writing. It's not the theme of the show that they're struggling with. It's basic dialog. If some of those lines showed up in a teenager's fan fiction they'd get laughed at.

Malcolm: It's one hundred kilometres below us, still descending.
T'Pol: Gravity's pulling it deeper into the atmosphere.

The cast is doing pretty well out of the gate, the production design was excellent, the effects are decent but the writing sucked. It probably wouldn't have survived for a whole season in today's environment.
