Dude, I think I'm gonna blog.

It isn't all about you.

REAL cartoons. It's been a coon's age since I've seen a classic Warner Brothers or Popeye - before they started cutting corners on the animation, or worrying about corrupting the tender young minds of the youth.

I could look them up online, but it's not quite the same as lounging about in my jammies on a Saturday morning watching the whole lineup, or getting home after school to a vast array of animated joy.

Caught a Bullwinkle one late night recently. It still holds up. Some Flintstone... read more

Things I'm grateful for:

The press repairman guy who shows up once in a while at my workplace with the deepest, broadest Northern British accent you ever heard. Can't understand a word he says, but he's a fantastic study source.

Mrs. Porter and her unfailing affection and support.

Through the miracle of digital cable I have over a hundred TV channels available to me, yet on the rare occasions on which I actually want to watch some television, there's simply nothing on that looks appealing.

I find it astounding that anybody's willing to spend money to produce most of it.

I suppose I could resort to On Demand and watch whatever I want, or use a DVR to catch the good stuff, but I think it's rather pathetic.

I'm feeling nostalgic for the sort of competition that h... read more

Re: master list of other books characters (in Children of the Other Books) Having tried to put one together online for the Guild of St. George, I know what a herculean task it can be, and I'd rather not take it on.

Re: Ice Skating (in Dickens Fair Folk) Were you working Dickens when we were in Sacramento? It was freezing and the pipes burst and the water froze on the ground.

Re: It never ends (in Ren Faire History Snobs) But also, when one examines Eddie/Willie's much-vaunted knowledge of the continent and a variety of other matters, it turns out he really didn't demonstrate any extraordinary understanding of those subjects.

Re: Favorite remedies/preventatives? (in Dickens Fair Folk) Basic nutrition - all the supplements in the world are no substitute for eating decently.

Get decent amounts of sleep and plenty of water.

My Testimonials

On this day in recent history -

Rydell reaffirms his state of Rule,

Seventh February, Two Thousand and Seven, A.B.

Rydell should really learn to form an opinion. He really sticks the shadows as everyone else shares the limelight. What's up with that Rydell?

Seriously, Rydell keeps us all on our toes. Even when he doesn't realize he's doing it. Erudite and quickwitted he is an assett to our community. Plus he has the most beautiful eyesbrows I've ever seen on a man. Just beautiful.

Give 'em hell, Rydell !!

I admired Rydell for his style, grace and acting ability for years before I actually got to know him. When we did finally get to know each other after I joined the Other Books cast at Dickens, he made me feel like we'd been friends for years and treated me like an important member of the team even though I was a new kid. His talent as a performer and director never cease to inspire me, yet he is so unassuming. If I wasn't already older than he is, I could honestly say that I'd like to grow up to be like Rydell.
