HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PEGGY

Oh, if only I could sing Happy Birthday.
It would make my day.
But since I can't,
I will wish you
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
May all your dreams come true.

Love you ,

Mom

What did I do to piss off the universe?

Although most of you would think it's quite a minor thing, I am convinced that the universe is preventing me from getting an iphone 3g.   I know, I know... such a tortured existence that I don't have the newest gizmo a mere 2 days after it's release, but I have been thwarted more than once.

Some of you may know how much I hate my current phone, but for the uninitiated, there is not much in my existence that I despise more than my battery hindered Motorola Razr.  I have been patiently awaiting the release of the new iphone since about November when I finally decided that  while I fought the urge every single day to toss my phone out the window, I would wait until the new version of the iphone came out.  Now this is a huge step for me b/c when I finally decide to buy something I don't F&*k around, I just go and buy it.  

So the iPhone finally goes on sale on Friday.....  I was all set to sneak out from working from home at about 3 yesterday to go wait in line..... Universe smacks me... one of the websites that I support gets hacked, and I spend 8 hours working with my team to ensure that none of the other sites on the server were compromised.

Try number 2 - I go to the mall yesterday and the line isn't half bad, but I couldn't wait at the time, so I decided to come back after dinner.  I rush through dinner and leave Jess to read to Cole and put him to sleep.   I burst through the door at the mall... the line is about 10 people... SWWEEEETTT... only 10 people b/c that was all the phones they had left.   &^#(##)*&%.....

I check the apple website once I get home... Short Hills store shows that they will have phones on Sunday.   Store opens at noon... 

Try  number 3.... I get to the mall at 11:20... OH CRAP a guy comes out of the mall with a iPhone bag.... I walk in... NO LINE!!!!! WOOO HOOOO.... no line.... b/c THEY HAVE NO PHONES AND OPENED AT 9AM?!?!?!?! 

Whose cornflakes did I piss in?  I just want a cool phone that will do way more than I would every need....

(PS - after getting thwarted on try number 2 I went to an AT&T store and ordered one... it will be delivered in 7-10 days - I just have to wait to be cool....  (and I can hear Heather saying - "phone won't help... keeping waiting bro....."

I am NURSE!

Minions of Ka

Hey All-

David emailed me and told me to check out the trailer for his graphic novel (Minions of Ka) on YouTube. I thought I would post it here so that you can all see it. Very tasty, indeed.

-P

P.S.
I had to delete the first one because Dave put an edited version on YouTube, making the original unavailable. You should be able to view it now. Sorry Deb, but it deleted your comment as well! What I know is that Dave wrote the novel with two others, but it was his story. He did the animation (!) along with an intern that is working for them. This is just a trailer--there is a full length version on the way. He also sent me a proposal for a video game based on the novel. Pretty cool, huh?
