My new tattoo

2007-10-07T11:04:00.001-06:00

My grandparents were very important to me. I was an only grandchild and they doted on me. They both died last year. Since I'm leaving Texas to move to Seattle next week, I wanted to take a little part of them with me. When I was a kid, they had a CB radio. Our handles were Mama Rat, Papa Rat, and Baby Rat. The Rat Pack. My buddy Bart did this tattoo for me in honor of them. The little cowboy outfit was my favorite one and Grandpa was always doing crossword puzzles. It turned out bigger than I thought but I love it. It covers half the outside of my left leg.

Life is overwhelming me

2007-10-02T23:08:00.000-06:00

My life is insane! I got back from my Seattle vacation on September 13th and then I spent the next two and a half weeks working marathon sessions at work training my successor. My last day was the 28th. Since then, I've spent all my time going through all our stuff sorting out what I'm selling in my big garage sale this weekend. Rhonda is already in Seattle so she's no help. Next week, I'll be packing because the movers are coming on the 12th. Then I'll be driving with my 3 cats and 1 dog for a week to get to Seattle. So, all that to say that I won't be putting out a new podcast until at least the end of October. I just don't have time. I hate having to put it off but it just has to be done. Everybody take care and I'll be back at the end of October or the beginning of November for lots more from our talented Xenaverse bards.

Sorry but it won't be this week

2007-09-24T20:13:00.000-06:00

Yes, I know I was going to put out a new show today but it just isn't going to happen. My life is so crazy with the move and all. I'm hoping to get the new show out next Monday. I'll be done with work by then and hopefully have a bit more time.

In this show, I read the conclusion of "Quality Dying Time" by Temora. "When an accident injures and traps the warrior and bard in a landslide on the side of an isolated mountain, an unpredictable, infuriating and disturbed nine-year-old girl, Tai, is their only chance for rescue. The problem is that Tai doesn't want to get help. She wants to talk. But their time is limited, and it is fast running out..." This awesome story can be found at The Royal Academy of Bards.

Xena Fanfiction Podcast Coming Soon

2007-02-27T12:36:00.000-06:00

I am about to begin an exciting new project. Actually, I've already begun but I haven't begun it here yet so it's still in the future for this blog. How's that for some round about logic? Anyway, back to the project. It all started on my other podcast, XenaCast. In that podcast, I do commentary on Xena episodes, talk about Xenaverse news, give updates on Lucy and Renee, do fanfiction and fan video reviews, and discuss a forum thread. It's a fun show to do and I hope anyone who listens to this podcast who hasn't heard it yet will check it out. It's at www.XenaCast.

So on to this show. I am going to read selected classic Xena fanfiction stories. By classic, I mean stories about Xena and Gabrielle set in their own world as opposed to conqueror or uber stories set in alternate universes. I will read it as written with no commentary or opinions on my part. Although, you have to know if I'm reading it on my show, then I must like it.

The first story I read is called "The Rest is Silence" by Sais2Cool. It can be found at The Royal Academy of Bards. It takes place during the jail scene in Ides of March. If you like it, be sure and email Sais2Cool.

The next story is "Fighting the Good Fight" by Temora. It can also be found at The Royal Academy of Bards. I will be putting it out on my XenaCast feed, so go to www.XenaCast.com to listen.
