i had a whole 'nother blog prepared for today, one that i put together yesterday in advance as i was supposed to be heading toward craig's house today so that sharon and i could have a little christmas of our own with the rousseaus. though we talk on the phone everyday (sometimes twice), i haven't seen the guy in months and am dying to see trish, the johnny, and to see how big my little goddaughter has gotten. and my buddy, oz. we were both really looking forward to it...
unfortunately, my brother--jake's usual babysitter, is going away himself for a couple days and my back-up jakesitters backed out. so we had to cancel. sad.
so here i sit.
i guess i'd better get some work done.
perhapanauts update--man, craig and rico are doing some AWESOME work on the annual--it's almost done! it's so cool to get the pages and see craig bring your ideas to life, but then the two of us become even more excited as rico starts to send in the colors, making everything real, making everything pop! we are so lucky to have that guy on the team! thanks, rico!
here's a random photo of the week. it's a squirrel in moscow. i really don't know why it's ears are so big, but it's pretty cool. do we have squirrels with ears that big? we should get some.
alright. here are your
"five for friday"
1. who was the author of such books as galapogas, breakfast of champions, and the sirens of titan?
2. what young actor's earlier roles included having an arrow shoved through his throat in the first "friday the 13th" ?
3. what is the drum-like name of the circular membrane that act as a frog's ears?
4. who was the only person to speak in mel brooks' "silent movie" ?

Sucks that your plans fell through. Happened to me this year too. My high school friends and I just couldn't get our schedules to jive. One of the downsides of having real honest-to-goodness grown-up responsibilities, I guees.
Wow, questions left me sucking wind this week; I only got two.

Man, very sorry to hear about the cancelation of your trip up our way. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can make it a business/pleasure trip in February to help promote the 'Haps Annual.
Now on to the five for Friday. Not too many for me this time around, including the "Friday the 13th" which I should have known since my cousin Niki married the cinematographer on that one, Barry Abrams.
1. Kurt Vonnegut

Sorry about the plans falling through, Todd. Never fun those last minute "sonuva..." that seem to pop up from time-to-time. We had one Christmas Eve with Lilah doing her best Linda Blair impersonation.
Man, do I suck this Fiver.

5. Jim Aparo was always Batman to me, but I didn't get into comics until the 80's. No clue whatsoever.
First time!
1. Vonnegut
2. Johnny Depp (or is he in that other one?)
3. Um. The Ear Drum. No?
4. That famous mime...Marceau something.
5. I'm too young.
Sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip.
You've stumped me today on the 5er.
2. I should know the actor in the "F-13th" but I saw it a long time ago and haven't seen it again.
4. the only word spoken was "No!" and I believe Burt Reynolds said it to Mel Brooks.
As for the picture, looks like a squirrel and a bunny got busy.

Hi Joe,
Welcome to Todd's little corner of the world wide web.
Brian.
Welcome aboard Joe,
Glad you could join us.
Hi, Joe. Whattaya know?
Sorry to hear about your plans, Todd. That's no reason to not reschedule the trip as soon as possible.
Only knew the Kevin Bacon one. I watched FT13th this past October as part of my yearly Halloween horror movie marathon.
well, as todd knows, everything happens for a reason...
turns out the "ick" tore through our household thursday night through saturday... and it was for the best todd and sharon didn't make it (a sick house with two sick parents and kids is not a fun place to be!)... luckily, it's all good and i know they'll make it soon... (gives me more time to finish the annual anywhoo)

Craig,
Sorry to hear about the ick hitting for the holidays and glad to hear everyone is on the mend.
B.
hey joe welcome to our little family on the inter-web!
