Things Are Fun.

Rudy’s getting over his illness (not his normal, terminal one- the cold type illness he had on top of this), i’m slowly starting to get over mine… we have both of our youngest staying with us because THEY are sickish, and rudy’s sister’s family (the ones that take care of our kids on a normal basis) are sick so that’s why they are staying with us. Which is good and bad- bad because neither Rudy or I are sleeping worth a damn because the young kids are staying with us And good, because hey, we Have Our Kids Staying With Us!!!

See if the Opera Widget for the blog works below. I dunno what it does, but it’s some sort of widget for Opera 9.+. Click it and see! Sort of a feed reader type widget I hope.

I’ve been dloading a lot of PnP RPG’s for my oldest kid, Robbie. He wants to play, I sorta want  to learn and play… I have AD&D 2.0 real life books, and dloaded a ton of supplements and the 3.5 rules… I have a ton of Powers And Perils material, and about 2.5 gigs of Runequest 2.0 and 3.0 rules… Now we just need about 4.6 billion dice of various and sundry denominations.

Laterz!

I Have Bronchtitis WHich Is Making My Asthma Worse.

And because of that I haven’t been sleeping worth a good God Damn. In fact, after I went to bed last night, I did not sleep. So I’m tired as Deviled Prada.  And Rudy is really sick. And our littlke girl is staying with us right now and SHE’S really sick- so much so she can’t hear out of one ear. And when she’s over, neither Rudy nor I can sleep worth a tinkers cuss.

So life is pretty fucked up right now. Sorry everyone.

Day Break – Smart Television? Dead Television

Canceled. Brilliant. The triumph of the mediocre once again. I have to give credit to the networks- sometimes they TRY to do smart television because we do ask for it, every once in a while. Then we shit on it when we get it, and they cancel it because no one watches it.

Fuck.

Tanita Tikaram

A name those of you “in the know” already know, since you are already “in the know”. For those of you not in the know, that doesn’t even look like a name, does it? Maybe it’s a Christmas decoration, or… ?

But man, her first album, Ancient Heart, was good. And I like her later stuff too. So everyone, get her stuff if you can. You won’t regret it.

Rilly. Dammit, WHY WOULD I LIE?

My Latest Soon To Be Doomed Project

Fleagel & Mac. Two homicidal, perpetually hungry mice. For the purposes of what I am doing, they have been around for a while in a series of animated movies. Same basics from flick to flick- they move into a housefold and in a series of comic misadventures, KILL the human inhabitants and then eat all the food in their cupboards and refridgerator.

I am attempting to learn how to draw using various hand-mouse-program drawing programs so I can do a gruesome web comic. If I get REALLY motivated, I shall purchase a tablet.

Here is the blurb on a movie poster that I think would be cool:

Mac And Fleagel: An Oriental Hide-A-Way…a delightful post-modern romp through re-visited thirties and forties vaudeville as re-imagined through the wonders of animation.—Babs Morley, Village Post

And then I did a bit of work on a script segment- mostly so that people would get an idea of what Mac & Fleagel are like. Here is that scrap of work:

WOMAN staggers from BEDROOM, one HAND over her blood covered FACE

WOMAN: Oh JESUS, oh JESUS, my EYE, my EYE

WOMAN staggers down HALLWAY until treading upon SKATE

WOMAN: Good GOD

WOMAN slides down HALLWAY until catching ANKLE on the STRING that MAC and FLEAGEL hold over STAIRWELL OPENING

WOMAN: (screams)

WOMAN falls down stairs accompanied by comical CARTOON SOUNDS of crashing and bouncing until the sound of a HANDFUL OF PENCILS BEING SNAPPED IN HALF

MAC and FLEAGEL stare down stairwell at the BODY of the WOMAN at the stair base. her HEAD is twisted BACKWARDS. she is DEAD.

FLEAGEL: I dare say, friend Mac. That certainly sounded painful.

MAC: It sure did. Sounded about da most painful just before it stopped hurting forever.

MAC and FLEAGEL stare at each other, then HIGH FIVE. They turn and walk from the STAIRWELL.

MAC: Let’s see what’s inna cupboards. I’m starvin’.

And there we go then. So cool. Take care!
