With the wealth of "Scientific" shows out there that seek to discover answers to one question of another... is there anyone else besides me that sees the blatant flaws in their "scientific experiments"? (I'm sure I can't be the only one!) I dunno, just takes the fun outta watching something when you know they've left this huge, gaping variable outta the equation and then claim they have "proof."

With all the hullabaloo surrounding the outcome of the presidential election, with all the turmoil surrounding the passing of Proposition 8 in California, and with the general going-on surrounding such a historical moment in American history... I only became aware today that a brilliant man who I have always greatly and very deeply admired passed away on November 4th, 2008, Election Day.
Michael Crichton has always been a favorite author of mine, inspiring me as early as age 12, and continuing to remain so to me all these years later. Yes, I did indeed begin to read his novels when I was 12, and I redily devoured them as I got my hands on them! I always loved the ingenuity of his writings and how, though he was not a scientist per se, he was a lasting reminder of how true science fiction should be handled and written. Although his SF works were certainly fiction for the most part, they always carried those elements of possible or certain truth based solidly on the extensive amounts of research he conducted to place his novel within that modicum of reality.
His writings encouraged us to question, to seek answers, and to believe that the unbelievable could always be possible... within reason of course, and went the extra mile himself to prove to us how that might be. He gave us drama and heart, he challenged us to seek knowledge and understanding of our world and the things in it, and he reminded us of our flaws and of our very human qualities.
And most of all, he wanted us to do good by our world and our society as a whole, as evidence by the messages in his many works. I am grieved by his loss, but I know his spirit will continue to thrive within the many pages of his gifts to humanity.
Thank you, Mr. Chricton for all that you have done for us. Peace be with your family and friends who will miss you most of all.

Yep, it's that time again, and in but a few scant hours in the grander scheme of things, NaNoWriMo is about to start up for 2008! I've got my characters, a basic plot, and no idea for an ending. I'm fairly stoked! How about you? ^_~

And as we continue to turn a blind eye to the evident problems at hand, the rest of the world continues to plummet down a spiral to destruction. Here's just one example of an issue that hasn't gotten much publicity but remains essential for us to, at the very least, be aware of:

Okay, so I'm sorta back! Trying to finish up some stuff but just wanted to go ahead and say I'll be checking in and stuffs. Got a lot of stuff going on, but but, I am HAPPY to say that my art block seems to be lifting, I've been feeling so much more creative again, and I've even got projects nearly finished. VERY good news all around. I think my little hiatus did me a WORLD of good.
Still not getting on the computer until a godawful hour but, mleh, I think things are looking up!
And on that note, I'm off for bed, folks. NIIIIIGHT!~~

I've had ScribeFire installed for quite awhile now and I seem to use it for LJ predominantly... but I've decided to try it with blogger as well and to see how it goes for this journal.
I still haven't decided if I want to make the full conversion to word press yet... can't help but love the simplicity I get with blogger. And also, I've been with them pretty much from the start but I like a lot of the features that Word Press offers.
So I remain undecided. At any rate, plan on a new layout soon for this journal and for all journals all around, lol! I've been a lazy bum design wise. Ah well!
Ciao for now!
