I went to the cinema last night and saw Hachiko: A Dog's Story. I cried my eyes out. It was such tear jerker and based loosely on a Japanese story.

It also reminded me of the wonderful Greyfriars Bobby.

If you like a good cry and a very good story, see it if you can.

Well, today i took another baby step forward. I went to a class in career planning, and found some aspects of my personality that might help me look for a job that suits me. I really hope I can find something realistic to look for, i really need to find one, soon.

Well, I got a chuckle out of it!

If you value your intelligence please ignore this drivel. Today marks one week without smoking (yeah me). And I need something to complain about.

I’m sitting here playing on the computer while my son is watching cartoons. Some weird one that is just annoying to overhear as is it to watch. So I took the remote and tried to find one I could tolerate listening
to. And what do I find? No Saturday Morning cartoons. What happened to the good ole toons I used to watch growing up. You know the ones that were on all the local stations for hours every Saturday before the games.

My wife and I were at Lane Bryant last night buying her bras. Mind you I was wearing my bra, my wife loves me wearing a bra, by the way. I am so lucky. So, while she was shopping and I loving all the pretty bras. The clerk was helping another couple, close to us. The clerk said to this couple, "This would not be the first time I have measured a man for a bra". My wife and I quickly looked over to this couple and the clerk. No, she was not measuring him, but he could have had a bra on, he looked like he had a figure.

Well, I tried to get Kittyhawk 11 done in time to post today, but didn't quite make it. I got inspired from my dream and wrote a lot on it this week, which took a lot of time away from Kittyhawk. Oh well, I shouldn't have any trouble getting it out next week, at least.

Well, I thought I might share a bit about my ongoing serial, I Woke. It started with learning about N.D.E. - Near Death Experiances. A lot of people have had this experiance, and there seems to be some common moments they share. They have talked about drifting above their bodies, watching doctors and nurses try and revive them. Many have mentioned a great light, and some have said they have heard a voice telling them to go back. Well, our hero(ine) may not have heard a voice, but he is serving a perpose where he is, and there are some surprizes ahead. My only hint - Chaos therory, giggle.

I hate to say it but the new posting of Once the Hero at StarDust will be delayed. I've been hit with a migraine headache from hell and like always I'm taking awhile to recover. I hope it is only a day or two, but for everyone's sanity I have to send it off first to Hope and Kimmie. Yes, my grammar and spelling is that bad! I do have a list of characters that I'll post instead of that last chapter.

Again sorry everyone!

Hugs!

I must remember, next time I spend 10-15 minutes carefully crafting a comment, to copy / paste it into a text editor before hitting Preview.

It doesn't always happen, but on several occasions, when either hitting Preview or Submit, the page has decided to reload instead, retaining the comment title but not the comment text. Aarrgh!

It's probably caused by something like a temporary hiccup in communications between my computer and the server, so there's almost certainly nothing anyone can do about it, but it's still darned irritating when it happens.

OK, no one is allowed to chastize me for this!

I was on the Max Train, on the way to the Bank; there'd been fraud on my Debit Card. I was having this delightful conversation, with another woman, about a street girl that had just been sitting on the floor in the car; she'd gotten off.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a very short Hispanic man get on the train with his bike. The normal place for Bikes was full, and under transit rules, he is allowed to put his bike with the general population if that is so.

I’ve been reading stories on this site and others for about three years now and finally decided to become a member. I’d love too even post my own stories if I thought they were good enough, or even finished for that matter. What took me so long to join, and even get the courage to write this is fear. Which is probably silly really. I cross dress at home. And I’m extremely lucky that my wife accepts it so well. She even buys clothes for me when she’s out shopping for herself.

Okay folks, part V of Jacqui is up. And it's a meaty one. So far, Jacqui's life has been pretty sheltered (though hardly uneventful), but now is the big event, a date with a guy. How does a t-girl react?

In this case, it's life changing.

If you like to understand the characters you read about, this is a chapter you'll love. How does a crossdresser decide she might be a (transsexual) woman, or, simply a guy with a feminine side who loves to dress? It's journey we all take by different routes, and we all end up in different places. Here is one journey you can begin to savor.

If you have been on this site for any length of time, then chances are good you have read a few stories with the following scene - a man is made over into a woman, and when he first catches site of his new appearance, he is amazed, (and usualy aroused) by how beautiful, how sexy, how feminine he looks. Well, I dont live in one of those stories. Getting ready for the consilors reminded me just how difficult the road ahead is going to be for me, simply because I dont pass as female. I guess I am stuck, at least for now.

Completely off-topic, but it may be of interest to Anglophiles...

Google have released a giant update to the UK street view coverage (the panoramic photos taken from Opal Astras with funky camera gear on top), taking it from a few major cities and patchy coverage elsewhere, to (they claim) 96% of UK roads.

Here's a few highlights, (inevitably) from Land's End to John O'Groats, plus a few extra locations thrown in for good measure.
