Meltdown at Work
I have never been so angry before. I was near tears and shaking from head to toe. It took me hours to fall asleep that night.

Re-Building My Computer
Monday, June 25, 2007
Just When You Think It Can't Get Any Worse

So as you know I have been trying to transfer media from my old bad drive to the new one via a really old and slow Mac G3. I am almost done. I have one huge music file and all of our home video that we have digitized from tape to MPG for editing left to transfer. I figure tomorrow I would all be done and ready to re-organize and put back on my computer. Well I was getting out of my jeep and sure enough my computer bad split open and both old and new drives fell about a foot to the hard concrete ground. I quickly went inside the apartment and plugged in both drives and guess what.. the new drive seemed fine but the old one was making a weird kind of clicking inside the actually hard drive area and wouldn't mount to the desktop, just my luck.. being so close to finishing up the transfer and permanently destroying the drive. I swear the hard drives just don't like me. So I'm done with the transfer and I managed to save about 80% of my media. Computers are great when the work but man they are a pain in the ass when they don't. Let's hope this is the end of my computer woes for a while.
Ok, so it's been a bit...
Ok, so it's been a bit...
Ok, so it's been a bit...

Janet Muirhead Hill is my guest today. She is the author of the acclaimed, young reader/teen series, Miranda and Starlight, about the bond between a girl and her horse. Danny's Dragon, the award-winning story of a ten-year-old boy facing heartache and uncertainty when his father is killed in Iraq. And, if that isn't enough, she is also president of Raven Publishing, Norris, Montana.
MARY: Welcome, Janet. In your Miranda and Starlight series, are you Miranda? And, if so, how much of your childhood translates to the series?
JANET: Thanks, Mary. I am Miranda to the extent that I am whatever character I’m writing about. I get into all of my characters’ heads, experience their trauma and emotion to varying degrees. But Miranda began as a composite of my granddaughter Jayme, for whom I told the story, and a younger me. Many experiences of my daughters and my siblings were integrated along the way. Of course Miranda, with her impulsive nature and tendency to take things into her own hands, much like Jayme’s, takes on a life of her own. Miranda’s fearlessness and willingness to take dares and risks came mostly from me. As a child I was a dreamer. Though I had horses to ride, I longed for a horse of my own. I was determined to own a horse ranch when I grew up, because I had a stronger bond with horses than I had with peers. Jayme, as an eight year old, shared those desires. She lived with me, her grandmother, missed her mom, and had a hard time fitting into a new school. Starlight, the handsome black stallion, is the horse of my childhood daydreams.
MARY: Miranda grows older with each successive book. Was this planned when you wrote Book One?
JANET: No, not really. Each book called for another, and Miranda continued to grow and face new challenges that could not be contained in one book.
MARY: You ended the series with Book Six. How difficult was it to "let go" of Miranda and Starlight?
JANET: I felt that Miranda had grown up through her experiences. The problems and challenges facing her throughout the series were resolved—at least to the extent that the reader could fill in the rest of the story with their own imaginations. However, I haven’t forgotten Miranda. I recently revised the second book, making a few slight changes. It was fun to “be” her again in the process. I have plans to combine the six books in an anthology some day. Young readers still ask for book seven, however, so I haven’t ruled that out. In fact, I just started a blog, Miranda and Starlight Blogspot, inviting kids to talk to Miranda. I let Miranda speak through me, as I write “journal entries” of her experiences prior to the beginning of the story. I can hardly wait to see where it goes when kids become familiar with the blog and write their questions and comments to her.
MARY: Although Miranda faces many challenges, Danny's Dragon focuses on a child's worst nightmare; the loss of a parent. Was this experience based on a true story, or just a composite of the many challenges facing children today?
JANET: All of my stories begin with a “what if,” based on challenges I see kids facing. How would I feel if I were in their shoes? How would I react? This was especially true when writing Danny’s Dragon. I’d seen a news clip on TV of a very young child saying a tearful goodbye to both parents as they were deployed to Iraq. About the same time, I asked Jayme about the new kid on her bus route. “He moved in with his grandparents because his dad is in Iraq,” she told me. I was filled with sadness for the losses these kids were experiencing. I remember how hard it was for me to be separated from my parents at the age of nine, when I stayed with neighbors for a week or two. I thought I’d die of homesickness. That was nothing compared to having a parent sent thousands of miles away into a very dangerous situation. Thousands of kids have a parent missing, and in some cases both parents, because of the war. I became very passionate about speaking to this problem, giving these kids a voice. “What if the parent never returns?” became the next question. Danny’s Dragon answers that through the eyes of a Montana rancher’s son. Like all my stories, the characters take control of the story, and many challenges and adventures pop up. Danny’s horse, Dragon, powered by Danny’s imagination, plays an important role.
MARY: Has your dream of owning a horse ranch come true?
JANET: (Laugh) I made a bet with my brother when I was about 8 or 9 years old, that I would be the one to own a horse ranch. He said he would. We bet five dollars, and neither of us has paid up yet. He owns a cattle ranch and has three or four horses now, but more in the past. Years ago, I raised a few Arabians, though it was hardly big enough to be called the ranch of my dreams. Today I own three horses on our acreage in rural Montana, so no, I’d have to say I never realized that dream. But dreams change, and I’m living my dream daily when I write and publish books.
MARY: And, finally, what is your latest project? Another series?
JANET: Yes, I’m currently working on a trilogy about twins who were separated at the age of four when their parents divorced. I have the first book written (about the girl twin, who at age eleven lives in a foster home in Kansas after her mother’s death—and runs away). The second book (her brother’s story) is well started. Then there will be a third one in which they get together—or at least that’s what I think is going to happen. Like I say, the characters lead the story.
Now that I’ve learned to blog, I thought it would be fun to invite readers to participate in my stories—give me some ideas as I write, present challenges for my characters, for example. With this in mind, I started another blog where I list several projects they can write about. One is the trilogy I mentioned, another is a book and its sequel, which I wrote before the Miranda and Starlight series. When people read the manuscript they say, “You’ve got to publish this book!” So I’m considering it. I could certainly use some help from my readers, however, as it is part fantasy and quite “scary.” At least that’s the reason I’ve put off publishing it. Is it TOO scary for kids? Maybe not for middle-grade or young adults. I’d love to hear from kids to find out. They can find the blog at fictionwritingwithkids.blogspot. There are links to all my blogs on my publishing website: Raven Publishing and soon will be on my author website.

Computers, Computers, Computers

My next plan was to see if my older G3 Mac laptop would see the drive and sure enough it did. I couldn't believe it. So I tired the Disk Warrior on it and found out that it cannot fix non-Mac drives, glad I didn't buy the upgrade. So instead we hooked up Harry's 500 gig external drive and started to copy over the media. It will take about four or five days to bring everything over... I have over 175 gig of info to transfer on a very slow G3. So it seems like everything is okay.. well except OX 9 for some reason has a weird flaw of truncating the names of a file. So all my e-comics say Star Trek #CHGSI$#$%.cbr and all my music have titles like Bonnie Raitt - Let's $#tnm9#$S.mp3. So it's going to take me a while to go though everything and rename it all so it make sense.. but I shouldn't complain at least I have gotten back about 90% of what I lost.

The Artistic Journey of Jay Rolfe
On Monday I completed two new paintings. I'll try to photograph them tomorrow and post photos soon. Yesterday I spent the day at a funeral for a friend's father. Today I started two more 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas (3DSSC) paintings.

Happy Father's Day/Fantastic Four 2

I really enjoyed the first one. I know some folks didn't like it but it was entertaining to me. I like the effects and really enjoyed seeing how each person dealt with there new powers. I thought the first film also set up the relationships between the characters. So I knew part 2 was going to be action pack and it didn't disappoint. This one also had a more complete story, awesome effects and was very comical at times. The Silver Surfer was pretty cool, we didn't go in great details of his past but just enough to understand why he is doing what he is doing. It was good to see Doom back even though he was more of a minor role until the end. The final battle was great, the Fantatic Car was awesome and I like that Johnny got the spotlight. Both Harry and Dad enjoyed it and it was a fun Father's Day visit.
Computer Woes
Well I get up Sunday morning and started my computer and guess what... yep it said that it didn't have a bootable drive and was unable to start. We tried booting from an external CD but it says I don't have any hard drives... then we you do a check on the hard drives and it says the drives are fine and working.
So it seems both my compuer and back up drive have crashed. Luckily I have about 70% of my stuff saved on DVD's but still I hate losing stuff, recent music, audio books, videos and e-comics. I'm still hopeful that I'll be able to retrieve some of my missing media. Here's hoping!!!!

Free Hugs

We live in a very damaged and corrupt world and watching these videos of strangers hugging for no reason other then to hug is inspirational. Whenever I'm feeling down all I have to do is watch one of these and it lifts my sprits and bring me to tears. If you haven't seen this great videos check them out at www.youtube.com and search for "Free Hugs".
Woot-woot!
And the best part (other than meeting awesome people), I sold out of my young adult book, MODEL SPY! Everybody say woot-woot!
Here’s a pic of me with Simone Elkeles and Sam Morton, two stupendous authors.

"Wine = Tax Deduction"

Jay Rolfe completed a new, small painting yesterday titled "Wine = Tax Deduction." The words of the title are spelled out with wine corks. The artist buys the bottles of wine and uses the corks for the painting which is, as are all of Jay Rolfe's paintings, for sale. Art supplies, including the corks, are tax deductible for the artist. Brilliant, right? Here's a photo of the painting.

Kyle XY...
He's extremely fast and strong, he can jump off the roof of the house no problem, I think he's an alien. Reminds me of that short lived show Invasion. N E ways...so I'm hooked and I'm watching the whole marathon in preparation for tomorrows season premiere! He's dreamy... .*swoon*. I think season 1 will come out on DVD or you can watch the episodes online. Of course there are the gay rumors (as with all new hot young actors).

No More "Little" Brother
So this is two "littles" in one year. I think I'm going to take a break from being a Big Brother for a while. It's tough to get to know a "little" and start to enjoy the time spent together then something comes up and you "lose" them. Both of these happend about four months into the program, and at that point you really start to get emotional attached and then they are gone... it's tough. I think I might wait till this current job is over before starting the program again.

Homophobia...
...I'm going to post an IM session I had with my brother. I'm not sure if he's homophobic or not, he's come along way having a gay brother, but he definitely has conservative views when it comes to gay marriage. He's my brother and I love him, but we have very different views on the world today. Let me preface this by saying he loves the movie It's a Wonderful Life and he thinks I don't like it because it's wholesome and about family values. That's not true, I really don't like black and white movies or old movies (ok take my gay card) but that's just my thing. Here is the conversation that we had that started with the movie and ended up about gay marriage, byt the way I'm oglalaboy and my bro is Owen...
Owen: i'm tellin you... this movie is good!
Owen: it's wholesome with family values.... that's why you don't like it
oglalaboy: whatever, it's in black and white and all those people are dead...I live in the NOW...
Owen: you are a liberal..! you are against family values!
oglalaboy: no I'm for Family Vaules...but I don't discriminate against ALL families...as you do. Which is a contradiction, how can you say family values yet you PICK and CHOOSE which family's are allowed to be familys...that's a hypocrite and a small minded person.
oglalaboy: You really don't want to have this conversation with me.
Owen: we have to have boundaries as as society
Owen: and the boundaries of a traditional household consists of man and woman!!
oglalaboy: boundaries? or bigoted lines drawn by overzealous bigots?
oglalaboy: Well you know, we don't live in traditional times anymore do we?
oglalaboy: we are in modern times and fight as much as you want, but times are changing.
Owen: well.. it's up to consertive people like me to keep a hold on civilizaion and keep things sane for future generations
oglalaboy: women don't stay home and cook and clean and most kids up to 5 don't even believe in santa clause but they know how to hook up a dvd player...it's a different world and you either join or just be a dinosaur and let the world pass you by.
oglalaboy: you'll lose
oglalaboy: it's already happening. There are 5 countries that allow gay marriage, there is one State that allows gay marriage there are 3 states that allow gay civil unions (same as marriage rights, just not the same name as gay marriage)...it's just a matter of time before the world realizes we are all the same and we can all love and we can all be productive members of society.
oglalaboy: the religious movement is failing, the leader of the biggest church in Colorado has resigned because he was outed as paying a MALE prostitute for sex...the leader of the SECOND biggest church in Colorado...also came out the of closet and has resigned. The religious movement is failing because people realize it's all a sham.
Owen: well... right now.... i'm watching it's a wonderful life.. along with a lot of people in this country.... and i'm sure they are all not thinking of the pervert men who want to marry men and the men who want marry their toaster next!!
oglalaboy: And you know what? I know right now there are a lot of gay couples who are watching it's a wonderful life also, with their kids and with their partners, so it's just not for you conservative (small minded ignorant) people...life...is for everyone to enjoy. As a matter of fact, it's a wonderful life is the favorite movie of the majority of my lesbian friends. They watch it with their kids. And to think there is no difference between a man marrying a man and a man marrying a toaster is not only ignorant, but it also shows the lack of intelligence amongst people who think that. I think Delta (a junior college) will do you good, you need an education.

There are 5 countries that allow gay marriage, there is one State that allows gay marriage there are 3 states that allow gay civil unions (same as marriage rights, just not the same name as gay marriage)...it's just a matter of time before the world realizes we are all the same and we can all love and we can all be productive members of society.
oglalaboy: the religious movement is failing, the leader of the biggest church in Colorado has resigned because he was outed as paying a MALE prositute for sex...the leader of the SECOND biggest church in Colorado...also came out the of closet and has resigned. The religious movement is failing because people realize it's all a sham.
Owen: well... right now.... i'm watching it's a wonderful life.. along with a lot of people in this country.... and i'm sure they are all not thinking of the pervert men who want to marry men and the men who want marry their toaster next!!
oglalaboy: And you know what? I know right now there are a lot of gay couples who are watching it's a wonderful life also, with their kids and with their partners, so it's just not for you conservative (small minded ignorant) people...life...is for everyone to enjoy. As a matter of fact, it's a wonderful life is the favorite movie of the majority of my lesbian friends. They watch it with their kids. And to think there is no difference between a man marrying a man and a man marrying a toaster is not only ignorant, but it also shows the lack of intellegence amongst people who think that. I think Delta (a junior college) will do you good, you need an education.
Owen has signed out. (12/24/2006 8:31 PM)
