... took a direct flight from JFK to Narita and my uncle met me at the airport. As we were on the... like to go far from home at all. That same uncle now lives a mile or so from the house where ... into a city that I don't think of my uncle trying to compare Tokyo to Sacramento. This morning, rolling...cab from Dulles to the office I thought about my uncle, about Narita and I-5 south into Sacramento. Mostly,...
I've written a number of stories over the years about Uncle Bob. In which, the aged Robert Merrison tells tales of his extraordinary long life, to his two nieces. I gave up writing them a few years ago, disheartened by my lack of success in getting a publisher interested. The stories are possibly too dark and violent for the average nice middle-class children's publisher. Kids seem to love them ...
..., hope it's alright that I post this here? >u> I was working on this last week. It's my idea for a T-shirt for Supanova (or poster at our stall if we have one). Based on the American 'Uncle Sam' recruitment poster, only more....inviting xD. Atleast I thought it was witty. Anyway, I think that if a number of people wore these as tops they'd make a bit of an impact, what you guys think?? If not ...
I had nearly forgotten the story of him hanging onto the wing of a plane for 11 hours in the bitter cold to balance it on one pontoon as it slowly taxied to shore after a rescue. That's my Uncle shaking hands with President Roosevelt. As they say on Firefly, Big Damned Heroes.
I started and finished a very rough first draft for my yuletide story last night. \o/ I sort of had to do it last night as I doubt I'll be able to write anything for the next week. (And, er, I've got to finalize my muncle Down the Chimney fic by Saturday.) My mom's here! She arrived way earlier today than I expected! This entire weekend has not gone the way I planned! I ...
Yesterday afternoon we caught Benji Madden at the gym, and even though Harlow's uncle looks like he's capable of beating some ass, we bet he's a regular marshmallow underneath! I mean, he DID date Paris!
I just sent the modern equivalent of a "letter to the editor" correcting a news cast. There was an interview this morning on the news, the anchor said that Go-Go music was the *only* music native to DC... I'm kind of disturbed that I knew it, but I had to write into the anchor to inform her that she was wrong, and Emo is also, sadly, a DC native.
... about people who keep insisting the planet is still cooling. Like my uncle. OK and here I have to digress because HE DRIVES ME MAD and... mean, but at least Harren had some redeeming qualities. In this case, uncle's just a rude, obnoxious, uncultured ass. My friends tell me I...'d rather submit it as it is than make it better with uncle's help... bit irrational, but there you go. Probably it's likely...
