DEAR HOLLYWOOD

Please resume the old-fashioned habit of advertising movies by actually indicating what they're about, instead of just showing as many action clips as possible while listing the famous people involved. NO ONE unfamiliar with the books would have been able to guess what the plots of Where the Wild Things Are, Fantastic Mr. Fox, or even A Christmas Carol actually consist of based...

Surely we can't expect the American populace to actually care about things like plot and character when evaluating which entertainment is best suited to part them from their money. Next you'll want them to actually follow through on promises of quality made in their advertisements.

That Google redirect virus is back! This time I have taken to writing complaint letters to every single site I get redirected to. By the way, Yahoo is lame and I don't know how they can run a business where you need to make an account and sign in to provide site feedback. (Though frankly Google's worse -- if you get adsense, which is a...

Evidently, that disgusting old-beer-and-cigarette stench known from many a bar can be replicated by burning garlic then trying to disguise it with rose-scent room spray.

What's with all these stupid redirect viruses? The Toshiba laptop just got another one, the second in less than 6 months. My dad is having more trouble removing this one, the anti-malware he put on doesn't seem to be eating it, instead it's just removing a bunch of other files like the desktop background (too bad, it was a nice picture that I don't think...

Been so busy the last couple weeks! I agreed to do this horrible box for some charity auction -- Japanning takes long enough as it is, then a week before the surprise deadline (the auction isn't till November so I figured we had till then -- nope, suddenly I'm informed that Oct. 26 we needed it in) I got an air bubble under the paint...

No, indeed, art supplies do not magically materialize... nor do artists have 28 hours in their day.

I'm glad you also got to have some fun (the cape) and I shall think *very* good thoughts for you about getting the grant.

Drunken claims are usually... well, just drunken claims. At least it's better than drunken threats.

But anyway. Glad you're around. smile You always have something interesting to add into the mix.

Wish you well with the grant. The cape sounds quite fine.

I am enjoying the painting, btw. I do like it a great deal.

My dad is in the livingroom drunk dialing all his old friends. For some reason he's claiming we still own a house in California and are going to move there next week (???)

Mouth is aching from the tooth pull, more than it had the last few days (this is the first time I used any painkiller for it.) Hope it's not that "dry socket" all the literature warns about. The next alternative -- and unfortunately a few things, like that all the remaining molars on that side are hurting too, lead me to think this -- is...

just had a tooth pulled. Woo.

Actually it was more pleasant than getting a filling usually is -- they use strong anesthetic for an extraction. I didn't feel anything at all, I just heard a bunch of cracking noises. Of course, now I keep biting my tongue, in waiting for it to wear off. Cost was about $100 more than I hoped but I figured...

Writing an application for a translation grant. They should give you like $50 automatically just for filling out all this paperwork.

Woo! #9 on Google for "email tarot readings"!

As my dad says, "Now you just have to figure out how to kill the people in front of you."

Or make them surrender, bloodlessly.
Or get them to work for you.

I've always been a bit of an optimist.
