My life to date

I haven’t done a personal post in this blog in many years, so this is long overdo:

I am still somewhat mobile, but since a fall in August 2009 I’ve used a wheelchair in and out of my apartment. I’m only able to stand briefly. My speech is somewhat labored, and I have to repeat myself a lot. I also can’t use my right side a lot.

That ends my bad stuff. Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t gripe. I walked for nearly 42 years, and sang on stage/acted, so I’ve already achieved much – and there’s more:

Starting in 2007 I founded my second publication, and in 2009 it won the Aurora award at Worldcon here in Montreal. It was nominated again in 2010, though someone else won it. That’s fine; I don’t make it to be awarded.

My NaNoWriMo wins are so far 4 of 8. I’ll try to make win 5 this year.

Some people who read this will think my achievements are great due to my disability,  but I don’t think that way. I’m a communicator, so it’s just what I do.

American Idol 10: the Judges’ Save is Used

After only 3 weeks of competition, the judges used it to save Casey Abrams. Even he was stunned by it!

This means 2 people will be sent home next week, and that from now on people will only be cut.

Ultimately I think the final 2 will be James Durbin and Pia Toscano, with Pia the victor. James will still have a great career though.

It was a surprise to see Hulk Hogan on the show. As a performer he’s dull, but he’s the best known wrestler.
