So "Lost" series 3 is going to Satellite.  Yay!  I can't say I'm sad about that, AT ALL.  Best place for it, I say. Can we launch it any further into space? Puleeze?

How do spammers KNOW?  I've got about 20 emails in my spam filter saying "Hi erastes" as my subject line - but the thing is, it's being sent to boudicca @ icenii .... I don't understand how they know... *paranoid*

I have to strongly disagree with Miss Snark's comment :. Writing about "hot button" issues like being gay, and dating outside your race, in the hedonisit 60's and 70's is the absolute antithesis of 'fresh and new'. This is particularly true if you lived through it and are writing your own thinly veiled story. The world has moved on. Time to catch up.

OK - so I agree that it's not "fresh and new" but... hedonistic 60's and 70's?  *chokes*  Yeah. Right. If you lived (perhaps) in San Francisco or New York.  For the rest of us things were anything but hedonistic.  Being gay meant you HID, hid yourself, your nature, your tastes, your music, your true self.  I don't think Miss Snark is in her 40's or 50's - so I rather think her perception of those decades are rather coloured by Hollywood and the media in which she lives.  Reading about people's experiences in those decades would be interesting, I think, particularly in comparison with our anything goes "naughties."

I also have to disagree with people glorifying war at this - or any - time.  Sorry.

I commented on her post, I didn't say as much as I wanted to say, but I was rather annoyed by her flippant attitude. Granted, she's looking at making a profit, but wiping aside many many people's stories of fear and loathing which still (as you rightly say) goes on today is rather callous, I thought.
