Debbie Does Jim-Bob
I finally had the opportunity of chatting with Debbie on Yahoo IM yesterday -- turns out, she started to demand money. She claims she's stuck in Africa until she pays her hotel bill. Sounds like a scam to me. In any case, we have a 154 buckadingdong plumbing bill, & just paid property taxes & house insurance -- we had to take a bunch of buckadingdongs out of the bank Friday, & give some to Karen for the plumbing & cable bills.
Karen took us out to the Gallery for brecchie, which we missed the special by 15 minutes; got pancakes & sausage instead. Then my Bumblebee Girl went to work, & even though she had a Car-girl ride lined up, she could've walked home: the 25 below stuff jumped 50 degrees when a chinook blew in. While she was gone I watched Barb Wire. I'm trying to come up with a Bad Grrl Comic for Platinum Studios, & wanted to see how others have handled the medium. Hence last nite I taped Painkiller Jane.
Saturday Trish relaxed all morning, drinking her coffee & watching TV. We ate at the soup kitchen, then went over to Fat Alertson's to pick up some pop & canned fruit, as well as some pads for Trish. Once she started to clean the living room, she went real gung-ho & did the entire thing. I talked with Jim Dolph for awhile on the phone as Trish worked. After that, she wanted to see her Britney Spears DVD. I made stir fry for supper, then we watched the secret origin of Miami Vice on TV-Land.
I woke up before 5:00 again this morning. Today we're going with Ed & Denise to see Narnia & to Pizza Hut afterwareds, as Trish gets 25% off a large pizza. We might as well put up with the sermon, just like the soup kitchen. Denise is devout, but not very sophisticated theologically or philosophically, whereas Ed simply quotes Shakespeare -- "there are more things in this world than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio" -- or else babbles about intelligent design. Wanting to believe something is real does not make it real, just as next to nothing in the Bible is literally true. For every instance of "intelligent design" you can come up with there's an equal & opposite example of "stupid design", nor does "intelligent design" prove the existence of God: the creator could be a created being, so it's a reductio ad absurdum. The one thing I'm really waiting for is the lion which the man eats, & the lion will become man.
The crits on QA are starting to come in, & some bozo complained s/he'd "read it before". I feel like insulting the clown. People submit rewrites all the time, & s/he's complaining about it is a waste of my time & hers. I hope we get some more insightful reviews, so I can start submitting the story. Ted hasn't done anything with the tachyon-critter idea & I'm all tapped out on it, though some of the research has been interesting. I think I'll go work on my Hog.
