Guest Bloggers Coming Up

/

Just a notice that there will be a few guest bloggers over the next few weeks (my friend Oscar and Peter; on and off and nothing too fancy). The primary reason is I want to free up a little time for myself to focus on studying for the GRE and getting my graduate school applications in order while making sure WISB remains active. My apologies for being a bit out of it and somewhat political over the last month or so, but this quarter is a difficult one. On a side note, I’m broke, so if you happen to love me and want to give me $10, go for it. Or don’t. Or, if you really love me, you can buy me a membership with the Science Fiction Research Association…or not. Up to you. Anywho! (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Veterans Day: Pay Your Respects

/

Because they deserve it. This is a day to give a little back to the men and women who defend this country with their lives every single day, who volunteer to be a part of that and die so we can have our freedoms. Remember that. Give a hug to a soldier today. It might help make the world look a little brighter. (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Keith Olbermann and Prop 8

/

Stuff like this will trickle in from time to time. Here is Keith Olbermann discussing Prop 8 and gay rights. I feel taken aback by how well he articulates his point (far better than I could). Enjoy: Anywho! (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Inside the Blogosphere: Question #10 (I’m in it!)

/

Number ten is up and you can find it here. The question this week: Does the very nature of science fiction (as opposed to fantasy) automatically preclude fair treatment of religion? Must religion always be seen as an outdated and outmoded way of thinking, or are there authors who can and have included religion (whether real or imagined) in its pages without forcing an either/or proposition between religion and science? Any thoughts? (Don’t click the read more, there isn’t any more after this!)

Rejection: Little Blue Planet

/

Well, got another rejection, which is awesome, obviously. This time it was from Space & Time Magazine. I haven’t sent it off again because I’ve been busy writing two essays, which are now finished, and thinking about a third. Oh, and I’ve been working on my statement of purpose and other documents needed for graduate school. Fun. But it will go out again eventually. Anywho!
