I think there's inbox checkin' for you as well, bitches.

03:31 / 03.08.08

Inbox checking for everyone!

Wait. Oh, what the hell, inbox checking for everyone!

03:39 / 03.08.08

Yay! Keggers, where did you go????

03:45 / 03.08.08

Maybe there was a moose-trap left in his inbox and unfortunate yet hilarious things ensued?

Can't have moved to the Barbe-replacement board, already. Not without saying anything.

03:47 / 03.08.08

It probably involves maple syrup and ice-wolves.

Or at least that's what I hear.

03:55 / 03.08.08

maple syrup and ice-wolves

'S'what they make Labatt out of, isn't it?

(Is this wise, or are we dead by dawn, d'you think?)

03:58 / 03.08.08

Oh no, the ice-wolves are coming.

Can't you hear them?

04:04 / 03.08.08

I don't think those are actual ice-wolves. It's the wind or traffic or something. Watch. I'll go outside and look around, and there probably won't be anyth...

So, um, do you board up doors and windows diagonally or horizontal?

04:15 / 03.08.08

OH FOR ODIN'S SAKES, HORIZONTAL!!!!!

04:22 / 03.08.08

Oh, fine, then! I'll just pry these back off and put them all back up the right way, hoping the ice-wolved will wait politely to... wait just a minute.

Keggers: gone. Ice-wolves: around. Confusion: everywhere. Am I Kurt Russel? Are you? Which one of us is the thing? AAAaaah!

04:29 / 03.08.08

You're gonna have to sleep sometime. Daytripper.

04:44 / 03.08.08

You're gonna have to sleep sometime.

So people keep telling me. So, why hasn't it happened yet? Why hasn't it happened?

Actually, the phone call just a bit ago meant I have to stay awake for positively ages... and somehow be witty and awake in a few hours for business meety stuff. (Damn, Cali being hours earlier than me now! It's a trick, y'know.) I just have to teach myself to make little agreeing sounds in my sleep and then these phone meetings would go just swimmingly.

05:12 / 03.08.08

Meh. I do wish could say "Ah hee hee hee, I told you so." But alas, those Sirens of Sleep do now beckon....

Hold tight, my loves! Take hope into slumber!

05:13 / 03.08.08

And again, those felines with whom I share my life are quite specific about the cuddling/rubbing tummy/sleepytime point.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

05:54 / 04.08.08

Boom Blox is fun. Reading SHADE THE CHANGING MAN is fun. Ice cream and beer are fun. Sunday was fun.

06:01 / 04.08.08

I ran after horses half the day and now I'm having coffee and donuts. On the whole, the donuts are the most rewarding part of the previous sentence.

Oh, and I'm reading more Quasar.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

06:06 / 04.08.08

On the one hand, I'm finding that Bachalo really didn't grasp women's fashion in the Nineties, and on the other hand, Milligan is great when he just relaxes and lets it flow. Other than the odd issue where I was screaming at him not to spell EVERYTHING OUT FOR US!

06:10 / 04.08.08

I don't know, I kind of think Milligan's at his best when he's displaying everything with intense obviousness. Maybe it's just the interplay between spelling it all out and the general air of coyness otherwise in action.

I really have to reread Shade sometime. Sooner than later.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

06:14 / 04.08.08

It makes me very happy. It drives me to write, which is a really good thing. I want to be Peter Milligan when I grow up. Sort of.

06:20 / 04.08.08

I'm getting curious about his current stuff, again, but I haven't been able to bring myself to even Byrne-steal.

And I smell like wet horse. Wet horse! But my kitty still loves me.

00:38 / 05.08.08

Why did you smell like a wet horse, Deca?

Anybody there?

00:46 / 05.08.08

I am. How's things, LN?

02:33 / 05.08.08

I'm Ok, I got sucked into reading Dave Sim's Tangent, wherin he attempts to make me feel guilty about owning a cat.

How are you, Kegs?

02:41 / 05.08.08

Im alright. I just finished watching The Thirst, which was a very mediocre at best vampire movie with 3 people from Buffy and Firefly. The most horrible fake blood ive seen since I stopped oging out for Halloween.

02:51 / 05.08.08

I have a stack of Netflix movies that I've been meaning to watch, a short story that I need to finish, and a leather project that I need to have done before Friday. Instead I just sit in front of the computer, mindlessly surfing.

02:52 / 05.08.08

What's the leather project?

02:59 / 05.08.08

A key fob. Something small enough and simple enough to be started and finished in three days.

03:01 / 05.08.08

and I was hoping it was piratey black thigh highs, but y'know a key fob is nice too.

03:04 / 05.08.08

I'm afraid you'll have to make your own thigh highs, Keggers.

I'd probably make them two different sizes or something.

03:06 / 05.08.08

which is perfect for my peg-leg!

03:07 / 05.08.08

Huzzah!

My 2500 word short story just doesn't seem to be working. I'm contemplating cutting it down to a 100 word drabble, do you think that would be a cop out?

yes

Was the cops and doppleganger no help?

03:22 / 05.08.08

They helped progress the plot a little, but there are some things in this world for which there can be no help, and I fear this story may be one of them.

Of course, there are a lot of things I've done that I thought were epic fail that other people seemed to like (and vice versa) so I dunno...
