Sunday round up

So, "Drive" is out to Torquere Press for the Naughty Anthology. Many thanks to dragon_lord for a quick beta on short notice. Naughty is hard. And one eventually loses sight of where "kink" really starts for normal people.

The Spock/McCoy piece in 10th century Ireland is coming along nicely. I need a title. And an ending. But they are schmooping nicely.


Mudd had a quiet birthday. Some triple chocolate creme cake from Wal-Mart (his choice) and dinner at CiCi's pizza (again, his choice).

I'll make fudge tomorrow for Valentine's day.

plagarism update

This site is selling CDs of fanfiction without the authors' permission. Check to see if yours is on there. Many folks on my flist are. If you wrote ST:TNG, Star Wars, X-files, Herc, Highlander or others, you might go check.

elfs, you're on the CDs. You might want to chew some butt?

Everyone:

Also, SueBee at Adult Fanfiction.net has blatently and unashamedly plagarized Z.P. Florian/The Mud Dwarf's "A Corellian in Hell." She admits it in the author's note. As Z.P. is no longer able to give permission or defend her works, I have written to the site mod, and would appreciate any and all help.

Taxes, taxes, taxes

We did the taxes. Oh my.

The Feds: $1400 refund
State of Arkansas: Owe $998 in taxes
State of Mississippi: Owe $2.

Don't laugh, that last is all that saves us from owing another $50 in penalties to AR.
But, this is the last year we have to file MS taxes, which helps a lot.


OTOH, Mom and Joe owe about 1500, and are still paying twice that from last year. Because Joe works and gets SS. If they weren't married, they wouldn't owe nearly as much. Mom is talking about "getting divorced for tax purposes." (Which immediately put my junk-heap trivia memory in mind of Hotblack Desiato, spending a year dead for tax purposes.) I offered to remarry them religiously, without the legal component, and thus put them on par with the Amish and Quakers. I KNOW that Darvocet she's on is getting to her, because she was willing to go for it. Mom's definitely looking at another knee replacement surgery, probably before summer.

Half the junior high thinks Bunny is a witch. Not Wiccan, but a witch. Of the sort one burns. Ignorant, superstitious peasants. If we lived in Old Salem, she'd be swinging by now. I'm furious.

Obi is excited about an upcoming birthday, and after Blanket Day (Sat) we'll really get on it.

Jonner has lost both his front teeth and looks totally goofy. Must get a picture.
