    Watching another episode of the A-Team on Netflix and this one has Parley Baer as the guest star. That would be Deputy Chester Proudfoot from Gunsmoke. One of those voices I recognise instantly and one of my favourite radio actors.

    not going to the aerodrome.
    plan b involves gin and tonic.
    come to think of it, most plans seem to involve that at one or another moment these days.
    maybe gore vidal was correct about writers.

    If I were to commit to writing on a regular basis, I think gin would be my tonic.

    And I would need cardigans.

    Lots of cardigans.

    i console myself by noting the presence of a mixer. that's the only way gin does not become my tonic as well.

    and the cardigans are for the book tour, yes? it's like those deep-sea diver outfits people wear on the decks of ships for photo ops of someone who appears to have been deep-sea diving. when no-one is looking, they all dress like extras in busby berkeley fountain sequences. similarly, i prefer chiffon when writing. there's nothing quite like approximating tammy wynette back in the day to get the juices flowing.

    So... it's midnight and I just realized that there's a dirty redneck hobo that looks like a cross between a strip club owner and Gallagher on my couch.

    Oh, nevermind... it's just our buddy, the good Lordeden. Wearing a bandana on his head.

    CinnamonGirl... stop leaving him at my place!

    Leaving him there implies *I* was there as well, Niner. Which, sadly, I was not.

    You can keep him for the weekend if you'd like :)

    Is this a thing that actually happened or are you quoting a line from a Tom Waits song?

    I was going to attempt to make Harley Quinn cupcakes for a pre-wedding party next week, but I'm thinking it's not going to happen. Hmph.

    Edit-- The cupcakes aren't going to happen. The party is still on. Maybe red velvet cupcakes with black frosting? Or chocolate cupcakes with red frosting. Hmm.

    Got my final paper back already. A-, because I didn't talk to enough students. Ummm...it's summer. How am I supposed to track down high school students in summer? I talked to the one I do know. Le sigh.

    You know you're old when you sit around with friends reminiscing about a bar that closed 5 years ago and that you hadnt hung out in for 20 years.

    The Childe Harold on Duport Circle where Emmylou Harris played regularly (and had a sandwich named after her*), Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Springsteen played in their early years.

    Ahhh the good old days.

    * I couldnt remember what was in the Emmylou Harris and just called a friend and woke him up - avocado, bacon and mayonnaise, with lettuce and tomato on wheat toast. Now I remember why I never had one.

  19. Hanging out back before opening the store and a family of ducks waddles across the lot straight to me and just mills aroundme. No fear or hesitation, like I was an old friend or something. Hope it's an omen for a good day.
