Shoutbox (Apr 16 '10)
Posted my
write up on the memorial service for fellow LGBT & AIDS
activist Vince Croome.
Shoutbox (Apr 12 '10)
Whew!
Final Tokyo trip installment now done! My random
Tokyo stories which made some people laugh so hard that
they were crying. And I could only laugh AFTER it
was all over. As usual: raw from my brain
with stealth editing when I reread the page in a couple
of days.
Shoutbox (Apr 3 '10)
Part two of
my Tokyo saga is now up, raw from my brain.
Stealth grammar tweaking over the next couple of days
but posted for those who don't care or want to wait!
Shoutbox (Mar 30 '10)
Okay, so I
didn't post an update to "Furia" as I had hoped but I
had a good reason for being out of the country recently
(Tokyo), and things were a little crazy before I
actually got my butt on a plane.
Primary
focus it to write up and post my trip tales so I can
move back to the world of fiction and column writing
Part one of my recent
Tokyo trip:
Seeing the former Takarazuka super Top Star-couple
Yoka Wao and Mari Hanafusa in "Dietrich"
Shoutbox (Mar 15 '10)
Review of
the movie "Alice In Wonderland".
Pending:
"Furia" pages coming later today!
Shoutbox (Mar 13 '10)
So I finally
did my Vegas weekend
brain dump, which you can find in the
Crossing Paths section.
Now onto
some fiction since I have some characters who are not
liking being ignored.
Also added
(over to the right) my list of upcoming key events just
so that I can remind myself that I have something to
look forward to. Plus, knowing what event reviews
I will post shortly thereafter.
Shoutbox (Mar 9 '10)
Thanks to no
internet connectivity for a night, the
site redesign is now complete! Whew!!!
(Fingers crossed that I found and fixed all links and
pages.) With the frames layout gone, updating the
site should be easier and quicker.
This also
marks the completion of the launch of the site and now I
can focus on writing.... Yes, I know there
are some placeholder links, but they'll have content
when the time is right.
Next for me:
a brain dump of some brief encounters from my Vegas trip
this weekend.
And believe it or not, I really am
working on the next few pages of
The Sequel.
A Couple More Reviews (Mar 8 '10)
Just got back from a
Vegas weekend that included checking out the
Australian vocal band
Human Nature in concert.
Also did an anime/manga
review of "He Is My Master" in order to pass
the time at the airport.
New Section #2:
Vicarious
Tales (Mar 1 '10)
The key stories from
some trips and events I've attended. First one
is from the Margaret Cho show and music video shoot
on Feb 21, '10.
Yes, I'm also
redesigning this site. Construction going on.
Please excuse the mess.
New Section:
Crossing Paths (Feb 28, '10)
Probably the closest
I'll ever have to an actual blog. Just brief
encounters with people of various sorts.
(And I'm about two-thirds
of the way through my write up of the Margaret Cho
event.)
Furia: "Two
Way Mirror" (Feb 25, '10)
Having to work for a
living really sucks. Just thought I'd make
that very clear if you didn't already know that.
And plus,
unexpectedly going to a Margaret Cho event on
Saturday put my mental wheels in a weird spin, but
in a good way.
I did the column but
it didn't turn out as well as I like. So I let
my brain instead dabble in the fiction world with a
very short chapter as I'm still slowly building up
the story. Expect something else by the
weekend as I try to get my writing discipline back,
and that does include a few words on the above
mentioned event.
Quick Status (Feb 17, '10)
Heading up to the Bay
Area for business/fun and won't be back until
Saturday nightish. When I'm back, I should be
ready to post a new column (about my crush on my
female kindergarten teacher) and a new installment
for Furia: Two-way Mirror. See ya then!
Anime Reviews:
Godannar &
Rin - Daughters of Mnemosyne (Feb 12,
'10)
Okay, so I didn't
quite make the 11th but I came close (missing by
about 25 minutes.)
I realized I need to
lock down a writing schedule so I'm thinking I'll
target a review of some sort once a week.
We'll see how far that'll go.
Now I'm going to
think for a bit and then decide if a column or
fiction is next on my mental plate.
Anime Review:
Blue Drop (Feb 11, '10)
Now stir-crazy from too many days of
non-productivity. Posted this one and actually had a lot more to say about
it than I had originally thought. And remember, my Lesbo Analysis always
has spoilers. (Otherwise, what could I analyze?)
Expect reviews for "Godannar" and "Rin:
Daughters of Mnemosyne" later today. (I swear!)
Temporary MIA Status (Feb 8, '10)
Just a short note that I haven't been able to
write anything due to pulling my neck muscle last week. So I am currently
on a combo of meds as I'm waaaiting for everything to heal -- I can't
even sit down and type too much before wincing. (Grrrrr.)
I seem to be over the worse of it so I should be
able to start posting reviews in a few days.
Fanfic:
BGC Post 2040 Series (Feb 2,
'10)
Finally incorporated the "novels" into this site
instead of linking to Fanfiction.net. No new stories, just better intro
page with links to all supporting material that I've written for the series.
Lesbo Ero: "The
Sequel" (Jan 31, '10)
First two pages of the story. See
comments below on posting frequency.
Furia: "Two-Way
Mirror" (Jan 28, '10)
Put the first few
pages of this story. No idea how often I can update it; I'm targeting for
twice a month to start. But I'm planning to post three or four pages at a
time.
Anime Review: "Maria
Watches Over Us" (Jan 23, '10)
Finally put
together my thoughts on the anime series that shouldn't be too surprising for
those who know what it's about.
Now gonna go write
me some fiction! (Having withdrawals!)
Active Voice Column: "Judging
A (Hot Pink) Book By Its Cover" (Jan 23, '10)
How I accidentally
designed the cover of my lesbo ero novella to be enticing for the completely
wrong target audience.
"Sherlock Holmes" Review (Jan 17, '10)
Just saw this
movie in the theatres with its
updated version of the detective universe with, um, domestic elements between
the detective and the doctor.
"It's Complicated" Review (Jan
14, '10)
Posted some thoughts about the latest Meryl
Streep/Alec Baldwin/Steve Martin romantic comedy:
here.
All Old Reviews From Original "This Lesbian's
Guide to Anime & Manga" Posted! (Jan 14, '10)
Whew! Talk about going down memory lane:
here.
And I also added the special in depth analysis
pages that I had written for Bubblegum Crisis
Tokyo 2040's Priss and Linna!
Now I need my own mental break by working on
something else. However, expect reviews for MariMite, Blue Drop and
Godannar by the end of the month!
More Old Reviews Posted From Original "This Lesbian's
Guide to Anime & Manga" (Jan 12, '10)
I'm now about two-thirds through my backlog:
here. I'm hoping to get all
content done by tomorrow.
And yes, I've taken the liberty of putting
placeholder titles that I'm planning to review in the list, mainly to let
everyone know I'm aware of the product but I just haven't gotten around to doing
my write-up on it. (Please note that not all pending titles are going to
get positive remarks from me!)
"An Oak Tree" Review (Jan
10, '10)
I saw this play Friday night and since it's
running until Feb. 14, I felt I should post a
mini-review on it.
Also, there are some amusing YouTube vids from
the Playwright's 10 year son in drag.
"This Lesbian's Guide to Anime & Manga" Coming Back! (Jan
9, '10)
I've polished off some of my original reference
files and posted them to show you that it's not a hallucination:
here.
Next, polishing off my old reviews and posting
some new ones ("Mari Mite" is number one on the new list.)
... Oh, and got some feedback that I do need to
create a mailing list. But that will be last. At this point, I'm
committed to posting something at least every three days.
"Furia" Introduction (Jan 8, '10)
Opened this new section of the website that will
house my ongoing cyberpunk fiction stories.
Posted the short story "The
Good Child", which focuses on the background of Yoshiko the Yakuza.
This story was originally posted in Aug. 2003.
Posted excerpt that is the sneak peek of major
story that will focus on Casey (Kassandra), "Two
Way Mirror".
General Reviews (Jan 4, '10)
Posted some quick thoughts on the following:
Nine
(Movie - 2009)
Just Moved In! (January 3, 2010)
And with any moving process, the furniture comes
first and the decorations later.
Posted new Active Voice column called
Fashion
Check Challenge which is a little tidbit from my trip to see Hangry and
Angry in Paris. But I feel it's appropriate to launch this site with that
piece for many reasons.
A lot of stuff still on my Live Journal site,
which I will continue to use for notifications to folks who want to know when I
post something:
http://pkristen.livejournal.com/. I will be eventually moving all
critical content over to this site.
