miko2I would tell you all about the exciting time I had in Second Life last night, but nobody cares, least of all me. It wasn't as exciting to me as it was to other people, but I did stay up way too late.
I finished off my corned beef and steamed potatos/onions/cabbage today. Friday Sandee is bringing in corned beef and cabbage. Today Sandee was wearing a green sweater and a shamrock-decorated green hat. I said she was a few days early, she said she'd been to a St Patrick's Day themed luncheon of some sort. They had corned beef and cabbage. She has another one tomorrow, with more corned beef and cabbage, and she's bringing the corned beef and cabbed for Friday, and then another friend of hers moved her own St Patrick's party to Saturday and said to Sandee, "Now you can come!" And they're having... well, you get the idea.
I have this character in my head for my Ian story. He's just an annoying comedy character who bugs Ian on his trip. I was thinking of having him be one of those guys who always says, "Long story short," and then continues to tell a neverending story, and you can't see any way he could possibly be making any part of the story shorter than it might have been. But today I decided that he's also the kind of guy who compares everything to food. I heard someone from the Middle East in an interview compare a situation to a certain type of food, and it seemed really odd, and then I thought, what if this guy makes all his comparisons to food, because he's really obsessed with food? So now I envision Ian on this bus trip with a really fat guy who is constantly eating, constantly telling stories that never end, and comparing everything to food items. I just have to find a way to shoehorn some of that into an actual plot and not carry the joke too far. ^_^
Pulled from his weekly LJ blog at Nodwick dot com, I thought I would repost this from Aaron Williams because it made me laugh... and made me shudder too:
I have felt a disturbance in the Force. It is as if a hundred episodes of a show with great potential cried out in pain and were suddenly silenced. Yes, there will be at least a hundred-episode Star Wars television show. Let us pray:
Oh, God, or Zarquon, or the Lords of Kobol, any deity from Xena or Hercules, or even the Flying Spaghetti Monster, please keep George Lucas from writing, directing, editing, producing, or heck, even watching the new Star Wars show. I have a hard enough time watching the original trilogy thanks to what he did, especially with the dialogue in Episode III. I want this to be good, I want it to be epic, and I want to love it as much as Babylon 5, Stargate, and Battlestar Galactica put together. So if you could find a way to make George take up macrame as his life's calling or something, that would be great. Amen.
I mean, 100 episodes is about five seasons, folks. Imagine five seasons of "wizard!" or "yousa thinka people gonna DIE?" or "I have the high ground!" or just about anything that Anakin says to Padme. For the good of the world, someone needs to either get him to agree to let others work with this property, or set up one of those Twilight Zone artificial realities where he THINKS he's directing a show, when the REAL show is being made somewhere else. Oh, and keep Uwe Boll away from it, too (just in case someone out there was thinking of having him come on board). :)
Oh, but you should read it on his page, and then read his comics. ^_^
This reminds me of a few months ago, when Sandee at work said she'd watched the most recent Star Wars film on dvd, and she was shocked when nice little Annakin turned out to be Darth Vader!
