We released the August issue of QVegas today and it’s the one I’m proudest of to date. We had a theme issue, all about gay youth issues, and succeeded in giving it a comprehensive and interesting treatment. Particularly, we avoided just covering a well-know issue in familiar ways (such as the high suicide rate [...]

Truth or Dare

Saturday, July 31st, 2004

So I’ve been working on my outline for my Three Day Novel idea, rummaging through personal memories that apply to the plot, and remembered a night in college I’d all but forgotten about. How I started to forget about it is beyond me, so I decided to write it down so that I can look [...]

Kerry’s Speech

Friday, July 30th, 2004

Okay, I don’t think I’ve ever used this particular LJ-ism before, but last night John Kerry made me…
Squee!
I want to address these next words directly to President George W. Bush: In the weeks ahead, let’s be optimists, not just opponents. Let’s build unity in the American family, not angry division. Let’s honor this nation’s diversity; [...]

Bad Democrat.

Thursday, July 29th, 2004

Maybe I’m a bad Democrat, but I just couldn’t pay attention through John Edward’s speech yesterday. After all the hype I was hearing about how lawyers would come into the courtroom to hear him address the jury during his days as a trial lawyer, I was expecting something more persuasive.
His speech seemed rather centrist to [...]

One more and I’m done. Honest.

Odd, just yesterday I was wondering if I could score some pot before moving to Salt Lake, since I’ll have no idea how to do it up there.

*wipes sweat from brow*

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004

Today has been strangely busy and hectic. I’ve barely had a moment of down time.
First, I found out that we’re doing our yellow page guide (called the “Results Pages”) before I leave, so we had to plan a production calendar, begin inputting database information and have a series of meetings about the design and workflow [...]

Boredy, boredy, bored.

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

I haven’t heard from my sister yet, but last I heard they might have to postpone the trip again because my niece was getting sick. Major bummer.
From another of my sisters, I found one of those long-ass “why I love Jesus” emails in my inbox today. I really had to resist the urge to write [...]

Post Weekend Plot

Monday, July 26th, 2004

Hooray! Exciting things are happening at *-*-*_grr_argh_”> and the Angel Season 6 project. I won’t give away any spoilers, but these are some kick-ass story ideas.
Today at work was pretty slow, but I spent most of the day reviewing the long-term editorial calendar with Steve and making notes about our regular writers (interests, quality, personal [...]
