Pirate-By Popular Demand!

Ahoy, Mateys!
Avast, ye blog-lubbers!
Yo Ho Yo Ho, a driver's life fer me!

I'm ...just not feeling piratey enough tonight, laddies. Per'aps if I fails t' shower this evenin', I'll be more inclined. Hm. Per'aps some grog will do th' trick.....mmmm. Only wine coolers 'ere. Har! 'Twill take cases o' these t' do th' deed! [glug glug glug]

Avast! Me cat, Wheezy Sasha, 'as taken 'is perch on me shoulder. Urg! 'Is claws be needin' a trim. Trim th' claws, me hearties! Har!

Writin' down me adventures o' th' day...More like weavin' a spell t' put yer t' sleep, belikes! Har!

Well, that should be enough of that. Supposedly, somewhere back in the paternal family tree, resides one Edward Teach. I'm afraid his pirateness has diffused too much down the line to inspire me tonight.

OK. Been drivin' a lot. Making lousy tips this week. New driver came in and stole me prime hours. Oop. Still thinkin' pirate. Anyway, I'm going to need better hours if I'm going to stay on at Hot Wok. One dude's making twice as much as me working half my hours. I think it's time to start thinking big- Papa Johns. Woooo! man.

So, I totally know who all's dying in X-Men 3. Really no reason to see it, now. Except to see that cutiepie fake Russian guy who's playing Colossus. Oh, dear. How crazy does that look?
Remember to stay through all the end credits, of course. What else is new?


Sounds like the DaVinci Code is less than good. Er, did I mention that I'm tired of remakes? Well, I am. I hereby challenge Hollywood to make a movie that will be something I have not seen before on TV, read in a book, or have already seen as a movie. I would really like to see a good historical biography, though. How about Thomas Jefferson, or Ben Franklin? These guys fascinate me and are only seen as bit parts in whatever made for TV movie or small film they've appeared in. The Adams boys, or maybe, [gasp], George Washington. Man, I am the most boring person alive.

I think I speak for all geek-o women my age when I ask: So when's an Elfquest movie ever gonna get made?

Well, the big news is my sister has landed in Sweden (Jonkoping, with little horizontal :s over the "o"s.) to teach for a month and I wish soooo bad I could go and stay, too. Real bad. Imagine-all the Swedish foam you could shake a stick at. Reindeer! Swedes! Swedish architecture! Weather! Oh, to be in the land of ABBA!
Well, here's the postcard:


If only I had a real career.....
Urg. That's it. I can't stands no more!

Next: An update on John of Spent Shell and what he sounds like and maybe we'll see about that paper doll idea I've been toying with.

Ahr!

Bizzy Bee

Yes. I am a bizzy bee. The word "busy" is just not busy enough. "Bizzy" must be used. I have been delivering a wealth of nasty Chinese cuisine these past 2 and some weeks. I have put scratches on the new car, the smell of greasy rice in the interior, and 1000 miles on the odometer. I do finally have some "regulars" so the tips are OK. Mostly they are amazed to see a woman delivering to them after dark. This is apparently rare in this part of town-old, er, Historic, Arlington.

Weirdly enough, upcoming pages of Windy City were going to take place in a Chinese restaurant anyway, so now I have even more reference for it. I have been trying to convince my boss to let me take some reference photos, but he still labors under the impression that I am an undercover health inspector and won't let me...yet. I wonder why he thinks any health inspector would waste this much time and energy to bust his little racket. He's really cute, though. Crap. I hope he isn't reading this.

Anyway, please to be visiting John over at-yes, you guessed it, Spent Shell Press!! He is a laff riot of comics-writin', pusher-bustin' FUN!! I am hard at work on his book and he nicely agreed to do an upcoming story for Windy City! Yay! He thinks it's just a little back up story, but little does he know I'm plotting on something more lengthy for the future...heh. Oh, crap. He reads this.

Quickly! A picture to distract! hmmm....

Give peace a chance, Darth Vader! Give peace a chance!
OK, next time we do this without the lightsaber. He smelled very nice, though. Photo 2 in my series of trying to make nice with the villains I see at conventions. Didn't see photo one? Well, you'll just have to look over at Spent Shell's Message Board for it. I have posted a few pics over there! Hah! My little friend Talented Jerry likes to have convention super heroines and villainesses beat him up, but I just want all the bad guys to make nice. I think I need to lay off the poptarts there. Jeez, I've become what I always feared. One of those fat girls at conventions. All I need is my long, flowing, homemade purple cape!
