We have part of our Weekend planned....

Caroline has informed us which movie we are seeing this week-end and the winner is Cars. She saw the front page of the entertainment section and the ad with in and started asking for her shoes to be put on. We are going to take her later today I believe. Peter and I want to see "The Break-Up" which I think we have a shot at. So we may actually see two movies this weekend.

I have to find all the pieces of the Mugato outfit which are currently I believe in 3 places. I wasn't sure if I would ever use that beast again but apparently we have at least one more use for it.

The weather has been rainy, cloudy, briefly sunny and then rainy again. At least our lawn look really lush right now. There are a couple of bare patches where the sun killed it last year during our drought but I think if I get some seed down now with all the rain I can fill them in. I would like to do something with the flower bed at some point. It may not be this year but I hope to get to it next year. I do so want to get some tomato plants and an herb garden going.

Fall of Knight is out in bookstores now. I think it is a good conclusion to his Arthur trilogy. As usual Peter poses some interesting questions that he gives possible answers to through the story. Later this month is Writing Comics with Peter David which is his take on writing for that genre. It will answers that perennial question, "How do you write a comic book script?"

Tonight is the final episode of the Eccelston Dr. Who. I found it pretty darn powerful and I did shed a tear at the end the first time I watched it (well and the second time too). The rescue of Rose is also a real treat.

I want to get something done today just to jumpstart my head at least. I may just make hands or start on the sculpt of a head or sit down and figure out what I need to make a set of Doctor Who puppets.

I am grateful when books and comics of Peter's are released so I can FINALLY talk about them.

My personal favorite is still Q-In-Law. I read it when it first came out and I *still* laugh at some parts, 15 (more or less) years later!

That book is part of a funny story of how Peter and I met. Short version. He bought a puppet of mine from the Art Show at the Atlanta Fantasy Fair. It came with a half hour lesson. The con committee came to me to tell me that Peter David bought one of my puppets. I said well that's nice (being clueless about why this was so exciting). Peter signed comic books as I taught him and Shana how to use the puppet. Didn't think anything of it until I went home and looked at my bookshelf that had my Star Trek books in order of favorite books. First book was Q-in-Law as which point I said OH! THAT Peter David.

funny -- and cute!

My dog nearly peed on David Weber's foot once (and then HE cleaned it up).

Funny thing is -- my spouse is the big David Weber fan, me -- not so much.

I picked up the copy of Fall of Knight that David included with the baby gift¹. I'm planning to drop a review on Amazon at some point soon, but the capsule summary is that I lost most of a day of work taking enough breaks to finish the book (I read fast). My ribs recovered in a few days: suppressed laughter hurts more than laughing out loud :-)

Who had you shaking your head, and where in Alabama are you stuck?

Do I know you from a previous ID somewhere? This one isn't familiar, but somehow you are.
