Hmm, I appear to have accidentally delted my "trump card."

Okay.

Which one of you will be a sweetie and record the "Jabberjaw" video by Pain? The one they show on Cartoon Network occasionally? MP3, MPeg or (NTSC-60) VHS preferred. My own VCR is packed away for forever and a day....

I'll personally kiss the person who can get me a copy of this really cool video.

Girls included. :)

Richard doesn't have boobs, so he may not be as intimately familiar with the physics thereof.

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

The personal kiss goes to whoever runs www.nofadz.com! They had an ASF version of the video that wasn't so bad. :)

Thanks, nofadz, for making us laugh at love again.

I certainly will not be the only person to feel the need to respond to this.

Exile, Day 4

I'm watching Law & Order, and they're JUST about to reveal who killed a certain doctor. Well, just as we're about to find out, the audio dies out, and the screen turns black. "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system, this is only a test." When we get back, it's a COMMERCIAL!

AARRGGHH!!

I woke up mighty late, and took a nice long relaxing bath. One of the good things about living at home again is my parent's godmungously huge bathtub. Big enough for one person, a lot of water, and its own Interstate Highway System. I soaked for a good hour in there.

Afterwards, I got out and took the bike for a drive. I'm seriously out of shape, and I was out less than thirty minutes. Just gotta remember to do that again tomorrow. It's amazing that no matter how long you're away from home, how things change so little. I used to live at the corner of De Zavala Road and I-10. When I lived there in the early 1980s, it was a highway, a road, and a trailer business. Now it's a megalopolis of Wal Mart, Burger King and 24 theater movie houses. Yet in the area behind my parents house, the signs have changed...but the wilderness is still there. Every leaf almost exactly where I left it in 1996. The only thing that's changed is my cardiovascular system. I hope I get back into shape enough to start exploring the wilderness like I used to. I used to jump property fences and floodplains and all sorts of brambles and woods just to see where something went.

Dinner was Carne Guisada the way only a Mom can make it. The rest of the evening was spent moving furniture around (they're redoing the carpet downstairs).

I updated the Resume, which you all can peruse at your leisure at http://www.dolari.org/resume.htm (phear my l33t resume amking skills)

And the rest of the day was spent working on the Angel Story...another set of titles have popped up: "The Best of Both Worlds" "Wind Beneath my Wings" "Wingspan" and "Gunfight at the OK Corral." I'm still up for titles from the peanut gallery, if y'all have any other title ideas.

I was thinking about how I would dress up this character. What would a woman who thought she was an angel wear? I mean, sure, she could do the whole wrapped in white linen gown stuff, but that doesn't bode too well as a waitress (She told me today she worked as a waitress), or walking down the street to get groceries...so I couldn't figure out what kind of clothing she'd wear. I asked her myself, but all she came up with was the Typical Angel Garb.

So I sat down to think about what to do with her, and turned on the TV for background noise. Immediately, I hear the Three Stooges theme song. I'm not a big fan of the Stooges...I can find them funny, yeah, but I only take it in small doses. Anyways, I look at it, and basically, God (played by Moe of all people) is telling Shemp he has to go back and reform Moe and Larry. God's secretary walks up, and she's wearing the Typical Angel Garb, but it's done in a very 40s flair, belted more akin to a skirt and blouse. And that fabulous 40s hair. Is it just me or did the 1940s have some seriously dapper outfits? Female AND male?

Whle moving around some stuff downstairs, I found some quincan~era dolls my mom is going to give to my cousin in a few weeks. They were three angels, dressed int heir Sunday finest. IT was very fairytale looking, but with some slightly more simple lines, and a lot less frills, you'd have somehting you can wear everyday....

But it was this picture (scroll down to 11:35PM) on Eliza's page that popped me in the head. It's a reallly ruffled tanktop. And a bloused out skirt...maybe made in to flared shorts. Perfect around-the-house-I-think-I'm-an-angel-wear.

Other news on the Angel Story front is the next door neighbors kid's name is Roger. Originally he told me it was Franklin, but we decided that we should nix that idea...Franklin was the black kid on the Charlie Brown strip, and considering Roger is also black, I decided against the name. He came up with Roger on his own. He has a father, but no mother. The father doesn't like Franklin hanging out with Andrea...this needs some serious exploring.

I also say down and sketched out the characters...Young Andrea looks very cute, and a lot like my Unofficial Niece Hanna, which seriosuly rocks because Hanna's personality fits Young Andrea so well that I don't doubt my subconscious latched onto her when the charactrers formed up. I drew out Grown Andrea as well, and her hairstyle is really hard to draw...now I know why all my characters have long hair. :)

Some strangeness that came from the doodling session, though, was Middle Andrea, who just simply popped up from nowhere and told me to draw her. I see now why Older Andrea needed short hair, and Young Andrea had long hair. There's a story with Middle Andrea forming.

And that's my day in a nutshell. I'm really digging this whole Angel Story. I love watching a story unfold...especially one that I can seriosuly mold into something that can be started inside of a month.

You must stop living in the past. Any changes you make back then may alter the present irreparably.
