Captain's Log, Stardate 12.24.2007 Here it is! Book 3 in the Sushi series! Single Sashimi Drake Yu. Why would Drake call her after … what, five years? Six? Venus heard in his voice that resonance that was almost a growl, that titanium-hard determination to get what he wanted. And he usually got what he wanted. The voice said: “I want you to work for me.” Not this time… If it was a choice between Drake and McDonald’s—she’d choose french fries. She’d never work for him again. It would take an act of God. Venus Chau is determined to start her own game development company and launch the next Super Mario-sized phenomenon. However, she needs an investor to back her idea. When Drake Yu, an old nemesis, approaches Venus with a contracting opportunity at his sister’s startup, the offer to become Chief Operating Officer tempts Venus to think the unthinkable. Venus would rather throw away her PS3 than work for Drake again … except Grandma bribes Venus to do this favor for Drake’s wealthy fam...

Captain's Log, Stardate 12.22.2007 Ronie Kendig altered this CARDED meme to include a Spiritual Wish list so we can know how to pray for each other, both spiritually and physically. Isn’t that a great idea? THE RULES: 1. Each player starts with 5 gifts that they would want for Christmas. 2. People who are "CARDED" need to write their own Blog about their 5 things & post these rules. 3. At the end of your Blog, you need to choose 5 people to get "CARDED" and list their names. 4. Don't forget to leave them a COMMENT telling them they're "CARDED", and to read your Blog. My Materialistic Gift/Wish List: 1. Another contract or two 2. The Robotech DVD collection . I loved this series when I was growing up! 3. A recumbent exercise bike. My old one has a weird seat that angles forward, and it’s causing havoc on my back. 4. A drip water system for my plants 5. An Alphasmart Neo My Spiritual Gift/Wish List: 1. Discipline to eat smaller portions, sto...
