The Importance of the Impossible

My Young-Adult Novel

“Sometimes evil has to be the hero.”

Her brother throws the first stone. Her family tries to kill her, but Celaise chooses to live, even if it means leaving humanity behind.

She weaves a gown from strands of night and despair. The forbidden magic protects her. It isolates her, and it binds her to a three-headed overlord.

Her lord commands Celaise to save lives, on pain of death. She rescues Jerani, a warrior adorned by a sunburst of scars from a tribal ritual. Jerani fights to defend his family and their sacred cows from crystal-eyed monsters roaming the savanna. He learns to rely on Celaise’s magic, she on his strength.

Jerani thinks her divine, a volcano goddess. Celaise dares not confide in him. Engulfing the throngs of beasts in the inferno of her dress will loose her magic’s hunger. Then the greatest threat to Jerani and everyone else she has come to care for will be herself.

Discover the fantasy novel on Amazon, as an eBook and in print. Thanks to teleportation, the novel is also available on Amazon UK and the other international Amazon sites.

If you prefer to cut away one layer of middle men, you can buy the paperback directly from the printer.

End-of-October treats~

Posted by Lacaille | Posted in Hot!!!, Manga Release, Updates | Posted on 30-10-2008

We at Aerandria like to come up with random reasons to celebrate ^^ (Or maybe it’s just me…) Anyway, that means another week of once-a-day releases \o/ Before we get to the releases, though, there are a couple of things I would like to address:

  • Please don’t add our releases on Manga Updates! We will add them ourselves.
  • A while ago, we added a new position called Cloning Ninja, and now, we’ve come up with another new position called Raw Scans Prepper. It doesn’t require much experience with Photoshop, and it’s not even time-consuming. If you have some free time, and would like to see releases come out faster, please consider applying, because it helps speed up the process a lot! For more information on this job, please check out our recruiting section~
  • We are still recruiting staffers for other positions. Please read this post for more information. Also, if you’re wondering what exactly each job does, please refer to our recruiting section with lovely visual aids recently added by Laca-sama <3. Note: If you’ve applied before and haven’t received a reply, check your Junk or Spam folder in your mail. We reply to ALL applications.
  • Every day, we receive a lot of comments asking repetitive questions like: “What does ‘being QCed’ mean?” “How can I open .rar files?” “What is IRC?” Please refer to our FAQ before asking questions like these. If you don’t find your question answered, feel free to leave us a comment, email us, or poke us on IRC ^_^

And it’s time for the releases~

  1. Honey Witch – Another adorable oneshot with a touch of romance and fantasy<3
  2. Kiss/Hug chapters 5 and 6! The problem with Serenus Dreamers has been somewhat sorted out, so the next release probably won’t take as long, hopefully ^_^ These double chapters are part of our Halloween mass release~ Where are the other secret releases? They’re currently in IRC!
  3. Midnight Secretary chapter 24 – And for anyone who hasn’t frequented our IRC channel (#aerandria) here’s chapter 24 a week later. ^^
  4. Hachimitsu no Hana chapter 8 – Another chapter of our historical romance story! If anyone hasn’t been to our IRC channel for the secret releases, please go and visit it. XD
  5. Koizora volume 3 – This volume is dedicated to sexual assault survivors and their families. We wish you hope and peace, from the bottom of our hearts.
  6. Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen volume 1 omake – 8 pages full of cuteness <3
  7. Himegimi no Tsukurikata chapter 5 -More Rufus~~~ *cough* I mean, more Rufus and Yuri~~~

My Cheap Month in New York — an Accidental “Digital Nomad” Story

There’s a trendy little movement being tossed around the blogosphere that encourages people to become a “digital nomad” — a fashionable way of saying, “why not work from your computer rather than an office?” A digital nomad, as we are told by a myriad of blogs, is free to live a spur-of-the-moment lifestyle and is able to travel anywhere in the world as long as she has an internet connection.

I tried this lifestyle a few years ago — before the phrase “digital nomad” became trendy — when I decided to backpack across the Middle East, Asia and Australia. The reality was sorely disappointing. First, it required me to spend all my time in cities large enough to have strong, reliable wi-fi hotspots or high-speed internet cafes. This meant that after flying all the way to Cambodia or Thailand, I couldn’t venture to a remote island that lacks wi-fi but abounds in coral reefs and pristine beaches. I was shackled to large cities with high-speed internet.

Furthermore, I was freelance writing for magazines and still needed to conduct interviews, but the time difference between Thailand and the U.S. required me to Skype those interviews at 4 a.m., leaving me bleary-eyed and grumpy the next day. Regularly, I’d schedule an interview with someone at 3 a.m. or 5 a.m., only to call him at that hour and hear him say, “I’m sorry, I’m stuck in a meeting — can we reschedule for tomorrow?”

After only two weeks of “digital nomading,” I decided the trade-offs were no longer worth it. I gave up trying to work and lived on my savings.

When I returned to the United States, two and a half years later, I realized that my freelance lifestyle was ideal for traveling among major U.S. cities, where high-speed internet is guaranteed and the time change is negligible. I’ve always wanted to spend some time checking out New York, so why not go there for a month?

So I packed my laptop and headed to the Northeast. Here I work for a couple hours everyday from my discount hotel room, across the river in New Jersey. Then I ride into the city on the train and spend every afternoon and evening exploring NYC: browsing shops in SoHo, people-watching in the East Village, marveling at the homes on the Upper East Side.

The best New York experiences have been the free or cheap ones. Most tourists head to the high-dollar attractions: dinner at a fancy restaurant, shopping on 5th Avenue, gaping at the skyline from the top of the Rockefeller Center. I’ve tried some of the traditional tourist traps, but — as the cliche goes — the best things are free, or at least cheap-and-local.

Being here for a month, I’ve found little pockets of New York that most visitors who are only here for a week never find: my favorite used-book stores, vintage shops and bakeries. I’ve found “unknown” rooftop bars with spectacular views where the drinks are cheap(er) and the crowds are sparse.

I’ve even made some new friends, the types of people you’d only meet in New York, including an aspiring actress from the Midwest who came here with a dream of making it big on Broadway. I love how she believes in her dream and is devoting every minute of time to making it come true — and she’s not the type of person I’m likely to meet at home in Atlanta. I love Atlanta, but almost no one moves there with just a few bucks in their wallet and a dream in their eyes.

My dream was never to become a “digital nomad” — but somehow, it happened, and now it would require a major opportunity to convince me to head back to an office.

Then again, I loved the buzz and excitement of the newsroom when I worked there. I miss collaborating with co-workers on stories and features. Perhaps the right office would just be the next big adventure.

    We travel a lot visiting family & friends since we’re retired. It’s impossible to blog from most campgrounds and National Parks where we camp and hike. But I try to post ahead of time with the posts scheduled to be published when we’re out in the wilds. Usually I am not gone from internet for more than about a week, so it’s pretty easy. We enjoy all our travels & I love getting back to my blog too! I guess I’m a blogging nomad or nomadic blogger. I wish you well in finding a situation that works for you!

      @Maggie — If I was just going to be out-of-service for a few weeks, I’d do the same. Since I was overseas for a full two years, it was frustrating to try to work digitally. If I really wanted to do so, I think it would be easiest to rent an apartment, with my own internet router … rather than relying on the ultra-slow internet connection at cheap cybercafes. I do enjoy doing this work from the U.S., though!!

    I’ve just discovered your website – through Barbara Winter – and love you. I was wondering if you would add a tab to your site about your travelling. You obviously have some really good tips about how to travel economically. I’d really enjoy hearing further about your NYC trip and staying in New Jersey. I’m in my late 50’s and planning on some European trips and would love to also hear about any tips you’d have for that.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

In case you were wondering, I am not eating any grains anymore. Which makes life interesting. It’s tough to eat at a coffee shop and it’s really hard to order in! Especially pizza. I get the “but we have a gluten free option!” all the time. I’m sure that’s helpful for many people, but it …

« From the Department of Armchair Activism | Main | We HAD A Dream »

January 14, 2006

Either he's a member of that odious organization or he's a resume fluffer-upper and he picked the wrong lay con-fraternity to "belong to". He lied on his resume, like we all do, but for a job WITH THE US GOVERNMENT. He's a fucking tool, plain and simple; however, judging from the racket the chirping crickets are making in Democratville, he'll more than likely get confirmed. Was it you that pointed out that if serial sexual harrasser "pubes on the Coke can" Thomas can get the nod, then...

I am so depressed. Women's rights to their own bodies is going to be gone. I may as well don a burka now.

Signed and passed along to a long list of e-mail folks. Thanks for posting it.

A flip flop due to bad intel, say it aint so?!

There is no stopping Alito. He is, I should probably point out, a cyborg sent from the future.

He put CAP on his resume to appeal to the conservatives in the Reagan administration. What better way to demonstrate your right-wing credentials to Bonzo & co!

Robot Buddha is right, if Thomas Pube Boy was confirmed, then practically anyone can get on the Court.

Of course he was a member of CAP! And that whole story about ROTC doesn't work because during the time in question, ROTC on campus wasn't an issue.

How Alito can sit there and play dumb when it's on his resume, is pretty incredible. He "remembers" CAP well when it benefits him (in the Reagan Justice Dept) but when it doesn't benefit him suddenly he has a memory lapse that rivals that of Scotter Libby and Judith Miller.

He's a liar in a long line of SCOTUS nominees who have lied to save their asses (Rhenquist and Thomas come to mind immediately).

If sexual harassment stopped advancement, half of the elected officials wouldn't be there.
It seems to help them if they are lying misogynists. It only hurts your image if you enjoy a good cigar.

He featured it on his resume so he could get the job. Now he's denying it so he can get the job.

I think we just have to start praying for cancer.

Because he is a judicial activist who do whatever it takes to win the approval of his Republican peers.

I'm Stephen R. Dujack

The 1986 article on CAP that the Daily Princetonian has helpfully provided a link to is not, in fact, the truly important one I wrote. The Princetonian article is the "obituary" I wrote at the invitation of the editors after CAP died somewhere between May and September, 1986. The obit ran in Sept. 1986.

Previously, however, I wrote a 4,000-word expose of CAP that ran in the Princeton Alumni Weekly that ran in April 1986. Whether that article resulted in the demise of CAP is open to conjecture. But that's the one that has produced a lot of the soundbites you have read in recent months.

Many of the rest come from a 1977 New Yorker article. And the remainder come from the efforts of many others who have researched this issue and otherwise pushed it both publicly and behind the scenes.

I don't know of an electronic version of that article; the Weekly hasn't posted one, and I have no idea how to scan a three-column magazine page.

Interestingly, I don't know of any MSM article that has mentioned that article, even though it caused a sensation upon publication and led to a huge amount of letters, and a rebuttal round in May, and possibly CAP's demise between a rebuttal round in the Weekly in May and my obit in the Princetonian 4 months later.
