I have busy weekend. My birthday party is tomorrow, not a lot of folks are coming, though. I got two birthday cards today. I spent over $200 today, on bus tickets to go the People's Music Network ($126) and van service tickets ($69). I owe lots of money to the electric and cable companies; I also...

Novel Research...
I called the Down Syndrome Society today, and they're not sure if you can get a guy with Down's to reproduce with use of sperm sorting. They say I need to make an appointment with a fertilty specialist to ask. Fertility specialists are classically anti- birth of disabled people as a group and I hate... Sign in to see full entry.

More Novel Thoughts...
I have a minor ear infection and got drops to fix it. I love my doctor; he's nice and he's going to send in my new PCA hours for this year and try to get me a hospital bed. I rescheduled my job interview for Tuesday; there's no van service Monday. I tried to call about information on Down Syndrome.... Sign in to see full entry.

Just on Today...
I need to wake up early and call Kenya tomorrow and see about the conference; they have my $700 and if there is no conference I want my money back. They can't just keep it; I don't have enough for that. It's nearly 7 AM there now. I'll try calling again before bed tonight. I have a job interview on... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Ill...
I'm sick today; I got a sinus infection, I think or maybe it's all the research on the Nazis. It's a bit much, I guess, learning all of this stuff. I need a break, I suppose. I wonder how I'll ever finish the novel if I have this kind of reaction to my research. It's just disturbing, the things... Sign in to see full entry.

Holocaust Notes...
I just found out via e-mail list that the last disabled person killed in the Holocaust died on my birthday. How creepy is that, read the description: " Twenty-one days after Germany's unconditional surrender, Richard Jenne, just four years old, became the last victim of the euthanasia killers". This...

Nothing Much to Say...
Nothing to say today. Sophie is going to make me homemade onion rings for my birthday party; she wants to be chef and we watched Top Chef together today. It was fun. Before I go to bed, I'm rereading all my Haven stories. I need to by a binder for them, so that I can keep my dates straight. Tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.

More on the Novel...
I did more research on my novel today. My choices for Olin's disability include obsessive compulsive disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, and inherited deafness. I asked my other e-mail lists for information about the Nazis, disabled people, and the Holocaust. Tomorrow I'm going to the library at UMass... Sign in to see full entry.

3 Day Novel Prep
I did some research and thinking about my Three Day Novel. Is anyone else entering that contest? I'm writing a prequel to my last year's aborted entry and a sequel to Arrival. Both are posted here. The main character is the able-bodied Darien again and his disabled boyfriend Olin (which means holly)... Sign in to see full entry.

Party
I went to a fundraiser for Western Mass Cosh, a local workers center, and met Deval Patrick, a democratic candidate for Governor. He's slimy. I really hate stupid people of color; it's like "You can't be a dumbass, you're on my team." I wish I could find a nice democrat for my non-green voting... Sign in to see full entry.
