Great... I have a cold.

Uh, I guess that's all I wanted to say.
I'm playing hooky and I guess I'm gonna go watch a movie and fall asleep in the chair while it's on. Yes!

Cripes! Autumn is officially here NEXT WEEK???

Yo!
A very quick howdy, mostly.
Well, I should be glad I scribbled something down in June, but still, how annoying.

Mostly, the one significant thing that's happened lately is that I finally got my big procrastinating, disorganized butt over to visit a couple friends that live in the area, Sue and Paul.

I know Sue since, uh, 1984? Is that right? We happened to be doing a musical together (IT'S A DOGS LIFE) and we both played both dogs in a gang of dogs.
Yes.
(To clarify, the whole cast was pretty much dogs).

Anyway, besides being quite an interesting indiviual, she's also done cool things, like, live in Turkey, which I always thought was cool.
She and Paul also have a great couple of boys, who I finally met in person, and they're quite wonderful and precocious. Like, they draw their own comics and make movies precocious.

So, basically, that's why I'm writing this today, to say how humbling it was to meet these two kids (ages 10 and 8, I think?), and to see that they are arguably more productive than me with regards to my pet enthusiasms, comics and film!

I SUCK!

Sue also hapens to be a fan, incredibly, of my little bit of prose writing (the "Femme Ferines," natch!) and she asked about how my re-writing plans and finishing that story were going and I informed her that that little bit of creative work has yet to take place, dammit. But she very kindly seemed genuinely interested in reading my progress on this story idea, so, I really should get back to it.

While it's been a awhile since I've made contact with Sue, in person, I seem to keep running into Paul every now and then. The last time we happened to meet while attending a Q & A visit by comics writer Harvey Pekar, courtesy of the local library's program to interets kids in reading comics and graphic novels. So, it was a very nice get-together with both of them at their home and I hope to stay better in touch with them, at least through the internet (Facebook).

Of course, Buffalo's Theater Season officially started last week so there's a billion things I want to see and have to figure out schedules and finances to do such things, by God!

Meanwhile, my idea for a blogger journal on comics. etc. that I talked about in June is still an idea I may get around to.
But, now I got to get my ass out the door and pick up our repaired Jeep.

Later.
