If I Had A Super Power...

... and I could choose it (naturally) it would be distributing orgasms telepathically!

HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!!!

Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOOOOVE the traditional distribution method, but how much good could a human do if he possessed that ability!

Trouble-makers trying to ruin your day?

TpO-ed!!!

Both of you! The trouble-maker can't make trouble because of the intense pleasure zap, and your day -- which was in serious danger of being not-good -- is now better than before!

Those bothersome terrorists wanting to ruin EVERYBODY's day?

TpO-ed!!!

Like, A LOT! Everytime they tried to make a move they would be crippled by pleasure! On the ground trembling!


Bill-collectors won't stop pestering you?

TpO-ed!!!

"Yes, Mr. Edwards, our records show that aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm sorry... I forgot what I was saying... Oh, yes, your last payment is past OOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo! Hee-hee... So, Mr. Edwards... What are you wearing? AOAOAOAOAOAOAAOAOAOAOAO!!!"


It would be a BRILLIANT power!

And I would use it liberally! If you're nice to me... TpO-ed! If you're mean to me... TpO-ed! If you look like you're just not having enough fun with your day... TpO-ed!!!

Also, it would ensure that I got all the financing for ANY movie project I EVER wanted to do! Imagine, I just start picthing the flick then WHAMMO! TpO-ed!!! Not only will they invest every cent they've set aside for investments, but they'll be DYING to take another meeting with me!

And then Opening Weekend I'd just stay home and concentrate on all the theaters showing my movie, every screening of it from Friday to Sunday, and I'd have a stopwatch handy, and I'd TpO everyone at the beginning of the movie and then again at the end! Then I'd do the same thing the second weekend, and all my movies would have the HUGEST FIRST TWO WEEKS EVER!!!

And, you know, the first couple of films I would still be honing my skills, so there would be random people that weren't watching my movie who would get a couple of orgasms just out of the blue... But that's okay. Maybe it would make an otherwise boring day more exciting for them!

Blah.

So I finished my audioplay and I'm really, really proud of it, and I'm eager to reread and rewrite it! But I have to give it at least one day, so I thought I'd get to work on Brian's alien script, but I can't figure out a way into it.

So we're airing this text-message show here at work and it posed the question about what super power would you have, and suddenly I had A LOT to say about the bennifits of being able to transmit orgasms telepathically.

Anyone got a hundred thousand dollars they could loan me so I could quite this job and write full-time?

Okay, I'm gonna go back to work now.

I Have The Cutest Girlfriend EVER :D

I've spent the last 2 nights writing a half-hour audio script. Since the early 1990s I've wanted to write and produce my own audioplays, and I've tried before -- even recording one actress's dialogue about 10 years ago for a poorly-written comedy that I never bothered finishing. Then a couple of years ago I wrote a horror story that I got to almost-good status, but then finally abandoned it when I realized the monster was fundamentally flawed (and therefore not scary).

BUT NOW...!!!

I was lacking something in my writing back then. I just wasn't able to create stories that were good enough. Even now I can't say exactly what the problems were. I just wasn't there yet.

But this story I'm gonna finish up tonight!!! I LIKE IT!!! For, like, the second time ever I've written something that I'm proud of!!!

And when Wendy woke up this morning nad IMed me I told her as much, and she said she's proud of all the stories I write, sweet thing!

I told her that if I thought I could make a living off it I'd ONLY write audioplays, then explained that the only way really to sell audio stories in the US (that I know of, anyway) is to publish by independant press -- such as the awesome Cafe Press and then sell on Amazon.com as well.

Which means that some people have to take a chance and buy this product they're not familiar with -- since I have $0.00 for an advertising budget -- and then tell their friends about it, and then the friends have to decide to take a chance and purchase it, and then tell their friends about it, and so on, until finally I've produced and sold enough cds/mp3s to finally pay my bills.

Which might be sometime in 2032 lol.

By which time I'll be well broke and Brian and I will be starved in a gutter somewhere.

Realistically, the only way to start up a line of audioplays is to have a robust career in place that allows the time and money to do these as a side project.

But I don't like my feature-length screenplay as much as my half-hour audioplay. :( I have confidence in the short form, but not so much in the long form.

Whatever. I'll get better.

Anyway, Wendy has a marketing plan for the audioplays, though, lol.

But to understand it, I have to go back:

Kelly's coming in from L.A. to spend Halloween with us (Tommy, Brian and me). First of all YAY!!! And when Gnomey woke up, one of her first questions was...

GNOMEY: so wot u boys doing this halloween
GNOMEY: u going trick or treating
GNOMEY: lol
RAY JAY: lol
RAY JAY: Double-feature at the Alamo Drafthouse
GNOMEY: lol
GNOMEY: but still u can trick or treat alittle
RAY JAY: heheh
RAY JAY: Um... We may skip it this year, lol
GNOMEY: but but but
GNOMEY: u wont get no candy

RAY JAY:
http://www.originalalamo.com/downtown/frames.asp?b=/online_tix/show_details.asp?show_id=4092

RAY JAY: lol, that's true
RAY JAY: But we're old enough, we can buy candy
GNOMEY: but but still
GNOMEY: its not the same
GNOMEY: u should go and steal other kids candy
GNOMEY: like beat them up
GNOMEY: and steal
RAY JAY: LMAO
RAY JAY: You're not a good influence, young lady

GNOMEY: i dont care i want candy stolen from little kids dressed up
RAY JAY: LOL

RAY JAY: That url is the first movie in the double-feature we're attending. The second movie is HALLOWEEN 4, which I saw in the cinema in high school when it came out
GNOMEY: cool
RAY JAY: I have to take you to the Drafthouse sometime when you're in Austin! It's really groovy
GNOMEY: yay cant wait
GNOMEY: they got candy and kids dressed up
RAY JAY: Um... Maybe...
GNOMEY: good good


Then I told her about how excited I was about the story I was writing and explained the difficulty in making a living off selling audio stories, to which she replied...

GNOMEY: well why dont u go steal some candy from kids dressed up and force them to buy ur audio stuff
RAY JAY: lol
RAY JAY: Um... That's maybe not the best way to build a clientelle, sweety
GNOMEY: ok well we wont force them to buy it we will just threaten them
RAY JAY: lol
RAY JAY: I'll talk to my Marketing people and get back to you on that strategy, heehee
RAY JAY: You very likely won't be in charge of my Public Relations, sweetheart... No offense
GNOMEY: yeah
GNOMEY: but but but im good with people
GNOMEY: i could really get people to buy ur stuff tho
GNOMEY: i could kick them in the leg when they dont
RAY JAY: LOL


She just couldn't be MORE adorable if she were TRYING!!! And this is her when she's just woken up, too, lol!

That's my baby!

Anyway, she had me rolling this morning, so I wanted to share. :D

Time to eat pizza and then finish up my opus!!! YAY!

Staying Home Sick

Sick days aren't fun. :(

You never have enough energy to enjoy anything.

You can't shoot zombies properly because you can't really focus too well, and your reflexes are shot. Racing around Springfield as Homer Simpson isn't that cool cos your always crashing into everything. And don't even TRY to be Laura Croft when your sick... All the jumping around will make you hurl, even if that's not one of your symptoms.

But, as usual, my baby can take even a sick day and give it something positive: I didn't get to see her last night and she was busy this morning, and she's going out of town Friday and won't be back until Sunday night -- meaning that I won't be able to see her until Monday!

Yikes!

However, if I'm not alseep when she wakes up (early: she has an extra long work day today so she can get Friday off for the trip with her parents) I may get to see her this morning, to help tide me over during our long absence this weekend.

So that's cool!

Achey skin... That's another thing that sucks about being sick. I normally never notice that I even HAVE skin. Until, that is, it begins to ache.

Blah.

I LOVE WENDY SOOOOO MUCH!!! :D

I forgot to tell you about the ecard she sent me for my birthday...

It's, like, a million smiling hearts on this screen, and you're told that you have to pop all the hearts to read the message. So when you mouse over one, it puffs up it's cheeks, and when you click it it pops. And if you just mouse over them, they make this sound like bubble wrap -- you know that material that's used for packing and is SO MUCH FUN to pop?!!

You you have a million of the Smiley Heart Bubbles to pop, and then you finally get to read your message, which is "I Love You." And then another screen comes up and says "Is there anything more fun that popping heart-shapped bubbles on your birthday" followed by another screen which reads "I don't think so!" And then her personal message!

:D

I thought about that just because I spent the last 10 minutes or so re-popping those Smiley Heart Bubbles a few times, lol.

BEST Birthday EVER

EVER!

'Kay, so the 15th started at work, but it was a cake day; just babysitting the stations, really. On SatSun I only earn my pay when something goes wrong, and nothing went wrong.

So cool!

Then I get home & get to see my Baby, whom I've not seen for a day or so, so it was all the more impactful (if that a word?) when I saw her! And she wished me a happy birthday!

Ooh! She sent me this interactive Hallmark ecard: It's a bunch of tiny heart-shaped bubbles, and you have to pop them all to read the message!!! It was A BLAST!!!

Then we played several games of Minesweeper Flags: the first one we didn't get to finish because her Net messed up, but she was ahead 16 to 12; the second game I WON! Then she proceeded to school me each succeeding game, lol. But it was kinda cool winning the first (completed) game we played on my b-day. :D

Then after a couple of hours with her I partook ("partaked"?) in some adult beverages Brian had purchased while kicking zombie ass, then wacthed ED WOOD (for my third, maybe forth time!), which was great!

Then I woke up to my phone ringing just outside my door...

IT WAS WENDY CALLING ME!!! :D

Brian was in SecondLife, WITH HER, it turns out! And she was telling him to go in there and poke me with a stick and wake me up! (That's so very Her, lol!) She had called 5 times, and after the 5th time I called her back (so she didn't have to worry about using up her cell phone credit, hee-hee) and we chatted for a while until Mom came to pick Brian and me up for dinner.

OOH!!! And for dinner we ate at Double Dave's Pizzaria!!! If you have a Double Dave's where you live GO THERE! Order 3 or more Pepperonni Rolls and dip them in Ranch dressing!!! You will be SOOOOO GLAD you did!!! (I don't know if Double dave's is an Austin thing, or if they're everywhere. If they're not, come to Austin and eat there. I kid you not!)

It had been YEARS since I had enjoyed DD's astoundingly extasy-enducing Pepperonni Rolls w/Ranch, and they were EVERY BIT as orgasmic as I remembered them being!!!

So then after dinner Brian and I went in-world where my Baby had setup A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! Complete with a candle that you could blow out the candles on and presents!!!

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that when I woke up, Brian was laughing hysterically! Apparently she and my li'l bro were having a lot of fun and getting along GREAT! I haven't heard him laugh that much while in SL in a long time, and it was WONDERFUL!!!

When we went back into SL the laughter continued, only this time I was part of it, too.

Then after my Gnomey Goddess decided to go to sleep (around 2a her time, lol) Brian took me to see THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING and it was ASTOUNDING!!!

First of all, every bit as good as the remake - which, in my opinion, kept the same spirit of the original but just added 30 years of cinematic evolution to it! It is a perfect horror movie!

Second of all, I have not been so deeply, utterly disturbed by a piece of celluloid in all my life!!! I was cringing through most of the movie, giggling to keep from crying! I spent huge chunks of the film with my hands over my mouth... really close to my eyes! There was one part that was so hideously WRONG that I ACTUALLY COVERED ONE OF MY EYES! I couldn't miss any of the movie, but I couldn't watch it with BOTH my eyes!

Jumped several times, but that's not necessarily the mark of a great horror film. Bad ones can make you jump, that's just a physical response to being startled. This movie DISTURBED ME!!! THAT is the mark of a great horror movie!!!

AND THIS WAS BRIAN'S SECOND TIME IN 3 DAYS TO SEE IT, lol!!!

Like 30 minutes into the movie (if that long) I turned to him and whispered "I can't believe this is your second time to watch this!" His reponse was "I saw the original, like, a hundred times", lol!

I've only seen the original a couple of times, and the remake 2 or 3.

I have no burning desire to see this one a second time... Not because it's not good, but because it's TOO good, lol! I'll TOTALLY buy it the day it comes out on dvd!!! And I'll watch it... then I'll remember why I didn't see it a second time in the theaters, lol!

GREAT Halloween movie, tho'!!! It was scary, it was exciting, it was tense, it was dreadful, it was disturbing, it was creepy!!! Every moment was crafted into this gloriously gruesome horror gem!

Made my little horror script look embarrassingly tame, lol!

In fact, I'm glad I saw it tonight because I'm rewriting it tomorrow and this was a great gage of the standard I want to attempt to live up to!

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that when I woke up, Brian had a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte waiting for me!!! Being hung-over, this was a very helpful thing for me to wake up to! And the Pumpkin Spice Lattes are extra special because they're only around this time of year! (My favorite time of year!)

So not only was turning 36 NOT painful, it has been possibly (probably) THE BEST birthday I've ever had!!!

Now I'm gonna work on my current project, which has to do with the cool idea I had for an SL date for Gnomey and me! :D

Life is GOOD!!!

Buy Me A Pony :D

Hello again, Loved Ones, Friends and Bored Net-Surfers! :D

I'M 36 YEARS OLD TODAY! And for my birthday I want DUCKTALES: Volume 1 and and 30gb iPod w/Video and a one-way plane ticket from Hirtfordhire, UK to Texas, US and a life-size Yoda from Sharper Image.

That's all.

Oh, and a laptop.

You know what, just the plane ticket would be great!

Okay, so why did the Goth dude cross the road? 'Cause he was safety-pinned to The Chicken!!!

Get it?!!

I actually stole that joke from my friend Delano who made it in the '80s, only his original version was "Why did the Punk Rocker cross the road..."

The more things change, the more they stay the same, lol.

Blah.

My Genius Friend Dave is gonna see Blue Man Group tongith!!! I'm SO EXCITED for him!!! I'd like to have gone, but what I'd really rather see them again at the Astor Palace in NYC!!! Their concerts rule, but their regular show IS SURREAL!!!

When I sell my first million-dollar script I want to take Brian and Gnomey and my daughter there to see them. (I know they have permanent installations in other cities, but they started in the Astor, so it's kinda groovy seeing them there... A sense of history, ya know?)

An hour and a half before I get off work! YAY!

I still haven't seen TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING. :( Brian saw it and said it was really, really wrong! (Which is a good thing, for a horror flick!) (Or a comedy, sometimes, heheh.)

Speaking of which,I think I'm ready to be done with my slasher flick because I'm really sort of in the mood to write a comedy script. I don't know why. All I want to watch right now is horror (natch), and I've been scaring myself silly playing RESIDENT EVIL 4, but I think I'd rather be being silly when I'm writing than scary.

Anyways...

I should probably get back to work.

:D

I haven't been this excited about SL in a VERY LONG TIME!!!

I sold my Gnomey on the idea of scheduling sometime for an in-world date, and tonight I got A GREAT IDEA for an in-world date!!!

BUT...

I need Brian to approve my using some land to build and temporarily house a rather large "staging area" and I need to plop down some L$s for "props", but when this is done, I think just maybe Gnomey might be impressed and we might have some fun! :D

Plus, I should get some REALLY COOL PICS in the process!!!

I SO LOVE THIS IDEA!!!

I can't share any of the details yet, as my baby will undoubtedly read this entry and I need this to be a surprise for her... But YAY!!!

ALSO... FINDING NEVERLAND and ED WOOD: SPECIAL EDITION finally came in the mail!!!

Again, YAY!

I haven't watched them, yet, though. I just got them this morning.

But I started my weekend by watching a Nova special on M Theory (more popularly known as String Theory) called "The Elegant Universe" based on physist Brian Green's book.

AND I bought the first 4 episodes of STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP from iTunes. Only saw the third episode so far (at work, not on my iTunes episodes) and the show is 100% Sorkin!

AND I am 8 episodes into VERONICA MARS: Season 2! GOOD SHOW!!! I'm taping Season 3 (which we're airing this season), but not watching them until I finish Season 2.

Oh, and Gnomey & I have built us a NICE little house! Very comfy!!! And out bedroom looks out onto a nice little garden! (Wish we had a setup like that in RL! OOH! Maybe we will!)

SCRUBS rules.

The above observation is germane to nothing previously mentioned, but it's true.

Monday, October 09, 2006

I DONE IT! :D

Last night (for me, it was around 8:00 am, before I went to sleep) I FINISHED THE FIRST PASS AT MY SCREENPLAY!!!

It was my baby, Wendy, who reminded me that I had actually finished it by the first deadline I set for myself, too!!! I originally planned to do it in 2 weeks, but when she busted out the numbers (and warned me that I would be denied my Gnomage on days that I didn't meet my page count, lol) I decided to give myself some leeway.

So even after my rewrite and my polish, I'll still be coming in a week ahead of schedule! (AND on or around my birthday! So YAY!)

I celibrated by getting nice and sloppy and watching Gorillaz videos at Kong Studios, then today I spent some 4 hours today shooting zombies in RESIDENT EVIL 4! :D I had forgotten how FUN that game is!!! I got it around the first of the year, enjoyed it tremendously, then sort of forgot about it because of SecondLife, lol.

I've also been playing RESIDENT EVIL CODE: VERONICA a lot more recently.

I love my horror worlds... Particularly when I'm not creating them... I seem to get a bit paranoid when I'm writing horror, lol. (I just tend to imagine scenarios in which something small goes wrong and results in something bad... Just out of the blue.)

It's cool: I am blissfully lacking in things to do right now, lol! My Gnomey will be waking up soon, but until then, I'm actually OFF WORK!

It's a wierd feeling, lol.

Creeping Myself Out Here

I'm wondering if writing Horror is really how I want to spend the rest of my life, lol....

Okay, my baby's been away from the Net for a couple of days because of stuff, and I was hoping to use this extra time getting ahead on my screenplay. But we just stared airing a new show in the middle of the night -- my shift, natch -- and it's 2 hours long, and because it's being produced in a way that's really kind of innovative and new, I have to keep a close eye on it.

And it starts right about the time I get stuff wrapped up from the evening, and ends before I have to to all my last-hour-of-my-shift stuff.

So no spare time for writing. :(

But my story's really been running in my head (I'm SO CLOSE and I think the story is SO ready to finish being told) and so I took a half-hour I had free and just sort of sketched out my next scene...

And it's the next death scene...

And I got this horrible sensation, I felt like the murderer in my movie kinda, 'cause I'm about to kill of this character that's gonna make my remaining characters even sadder than they are now!

I mean, technically, that's GOOD. It's a HORROR movie, it's supposed to be horrifying. But somehow this just feels malicious, lol! I feel wrong and dirty and bad.

And that's a first for me. Death in real life and death in realistic dramas always gets to me, but there's this protective barrier around horror-movie death, for me at least. It's fake, it's like when a Stormtrooper gets shot down or when a cowboy wearing a black hat gets killed... It's a movie.

But I'm getting to like my characters, and suddenly the thought of killing another one -- especially NOW, just 3 or so pages after I put the (theoretical) reader through a fairly brutal murder and a grieving scene, feel just ABUSIVE, lol. Horror's supposed to be cathartic, not traumatic, lol!!!

Well... That's not true, heheh. Some really, really good horror movies are prtty traumatic.

And I don't even think this is one of them. I feel like when my movie is shot and viewed, it will probably feel a great deal tamer than it does now, as I'm writing it.

Blah. Whatever.

But to top that all off...

YAY!!!

I was about to say that I haven't heard from my baby in 25 hours or so, then go on a bit about what a wuss I am and how most probably I'm just letting my imagination run wild, and blah...

BUT SHE JUST TEXTED ME SAYING SHE'LL BE HOME IN 15 MINUTES!!!

Bless her heart!!!

Let me confess, I actually called her (which I try not to do excessively because we usually talk at least once a day, if not twice, and we text each other plenty on top of that) and left a message on her voicemail asking her to let me know that she's okay as soon as she could.

I know, right?! There's something wrong with me! I'm a wimp!

I have issues, lol.

But I'd rather wrestle with the fear of losing someone I love (which is what this obviously is, because that's what creeped me out about the scene I'm about to write) than not have someone to love!!! I have defeated my insecurities in the past, but 10 years is a LOOOOOONG time to go without a girlfriend, lol!

So if you've got a loved one give them a quick kiss, or a call or a text, if they're not near. For me. :D Thanks!

Rough Night of Research

Researching 1950s BDSM gear can be mentally EXHAUSTING!!!

First of all, there's not a lot of info on it, even though BDSM artwort was popular in the '50s (think Betty Paige and Bizzare magazine) and was -- though not expressly -- a staple of pulp fiction (the literary movement, NOT the Tarentino flick). BDSM organizations didn't come into existance until the mid or late '60s, and then they were thinly peopled and remote from each other, and BDSM (though the term didn't exist back then) was considered -- not "widely considered, but CONSIDERED -- to be a mental illness.

Wait, wait... NO, I AM NOT looking for a lifestyle change. This is research for a section of my screenplay I'm writing next week. But I want to be acruate and not anacronistic.

But judging from the information available on the Net (the poor-man's library: I have to PAY to get a library card in North Austin, lol!!!) even if I were anacronistic no one would know, lol!

Plus, a lot of the stuff utilized by BDSM folk seems to be updates of ancient stuff. Did you know that bondage beds were illustrated in 1800s publications?!! To make a satirical point, but yeah, there they were, lol.

OOH!!!

And I discovered yet ANOTHER way that my Gnomey and I seem to be A PERFECT MATCH... When she came online this morning I was whining about my rough night of research and she asks "Well what you researchin' then?" and then comes up with 3 webpages IMMEDIATELY!!!

Turns out she LOVES research and is uniquely talented at it!!!

And I happen to be a writer who often is not so fond of the research. (It's like shopping for me: I like to get in there, grab what I need and GET THE HELL OUT!)

So if I weren't already truly, maddly and deeply in love with her, I would have fallen in love this morning!

Still... even with her amazing help -- HER pages got me 90% of the information I need for the script; I actually dug up the other 10 % myself, lol -- I'm looking at 14 hours of research today.

Woe is poor widdle me. :(

Somebody toss me a Writer Snack! (You know, like a Scooby Snack, only fat-free 'cause I'm gonna be wolfin' down a lot of 'em.)

I know, I'm whining. But days like today actually feel like WORK! On nights that I'm writing pages (like last night and the night before) the time simply FLIES BY... Before I know it Gnomey is waking up and IMing me and I've got 10 or 10 decent pages written!

Blah.

Sorry. Venting. This is my cool-down period before I go to bed, so I'm boring you with my grief.

If you're still reading.

If not, I SO don't blame you!

[Sorry, baby!!! I know you're still reading, lol. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!]

Okay, I think I'm gonna go watch PLAN 9 FROM OUTTER SPACE. I fell asleep reading the screenplay of ED WOOD last night and for some reason -- probably this Halloween vibe I've been groovin' in since Septermber 1st -- I'm fixated with Edward D. Wood, Jr. Some of his movies are very much like a little kid's imagination on Halloween.

So Day Before Yesterday...

This is a Gnomey story... :D

Day before yesterday I wake up and Gnomey's not online yet...

If you read her blog you'll find she accused me of cheating at Poker, lol. What that was is I pulled a Straight against her Two Pair or something and won. And when I explained that I guess a Straight beats Two Pair (I'm never really sure unless I'm looking at a chart) she starts in on me for not having told her that, accusing me of deliberately not telling her.

I tried to explain that I didn't intentionally mislead her, but she was annoyed and wouldn't hear it. (She has this anoying habbit of talking over you when she's decided not to hear the rest of what you ahve to say, lol.) I tried to explain anyway, but she wasn't having it, so in the end I had to resort to making puppy dog eyes at her, and that worked. (It shouldn't have worked, lol, it's such a blantant manipulation, but it did work on her, bless her hear!)

So then a couple of nights ago -- which would probably be the day after the "cheating" incident -- I wake up and Gnomey's not online yet, so I Google Poker hands, and make a notecard for her listing all the Poker hands in descending value (Royal Straight Flush and the top and High Card at the bottom). When she came online I sent it to her and she thanked me sweetly. Yay! I made my baby happy! :D

She's also busy searching the Net for something specific, so I'm kind of hanging out with her, watching her... Then she's done and we're able to do our normal thing and forget about the world and get lost in each other for a few hours.

She chats with my via this headset with a mic that comes down off the left earpiec and wraps around her face.

She tied her hair back to get it out of her face while she's leaning over her laptop talking to me, then she pulls off her headset to off to resituate it on her gorgeous noggin, but the headseat won't come more than half a foot away from her hair! She's apparent;y tied her headset up in her hair!

Poor thing! But it was like watching Harpo Marx or Buster Keaton in their prime, lol!

She finally gets her hair and headset sorted out, and while she's putting the headset back on the mic pokes her in the eye!!!

Again, poor thing! Just having a horrible moment with her webchat equpment! But she's laughing about it in betwen the screams, and tho' I'm not one to enjoy other's people's pain in the slightest, it was really funny to watch her in this situation!

So she gets it back on and we start chatting, but then she screams again "My eye!" Apparently the pain has returned with full force!

It's not funny to me anymore. My baby is really hurting! She's laughing, but I suspect it might be to keep from crying.

"My eye," she repeats, then says, "It's my Poker eye!"

I DIED LAUGHING!!!

Maybe she wasn't laughing to keep from crying; maybe she genuinely continued to see humor in her situation, because that was one of the greatest comedic call-backs ever! Up there with Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black (and my friend Kelly: call-back genius)!

We haven't played Poker since that incident... But I kinda doubt it's because of the Poker Eye Massacre. It's still just as goreous and knowing as ever, a perfect match for her non-Poker eye.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the next time I suggest Poker she mentions her Poker eye injury, lol.

I love her SO MUCH!!! :D

Okay, I'm behind on my writing this week -- went to see HOLLYWOODLAND last night -- so I'd better get to it before my sweety wakes up in 4 hours or so. :D

47 Days

OMG I'm so OUT OF MY MIND in love, lol!!!

I actually bought 2 lottery tickets tonight, hoping to win enough to buy my baby a plane ticket here NOW, hee-hee.

See My Genius Friend Dave buys them, so we often joke about winning the lottery. He buys them just in case he does ever win. I, however, never really played much because I figure my first few screenplay sales will be my "winning lottery ticket".

But writing time time...

And selling a script takes EVER MORE time...

So I'm playing the lottery now, lol. Not religiously -- don't have that kinda cash -- but I'm actually starting to seriously fantasize about winning the lottery and suddenly being able to see my baby IN PERSON!!!

OMG!!! It's been 47 days, and I just fall more AND MORE in love with her!!! It's crazy for me, because I went 10 years (as of this month I feel confident that is HAS INDEED been a decade now) without sex, and I developed tha patience of Job. Then I meet my Gnomey Goddess and suddenly 5 months is just an unreasonable ammount of time to wait to be with her, lol!

Plus, I need to get rich quick because I need to buy a house for her immediately, get a passport so I can go see her when she can't come see me an until she can legally live here, and let's not forget the price of the tickets themselves...

Suddenly I'm like a child on Christmas Eve, lol.

Oh MAN does she enrich my life, though!!! I'm serious, every cliche you've ever heard about Love is true, just not the way you'd expect it. IT'S BETTER and easier and MUCH more fulfilling!!!

AND THIS WHEN WE'RE BOTH AN OCEAN APPART, lol!!!

Okay, I need to get back to work. She's going to be home and waiting for me to get online when I get off work!!! (YAY!!!) But I thought I would burst if I didn't blog this, lol.

PEACE!!! :D
