RE: Collecting Thoughts and Images
New entry here: http://web.mac.com/rikkisimons/iWeb/Rikki_Simons/journal/774A92BF-9CDE-46FD-811A-BDBACE68FB05.html

So, we're going to Fort Lauderdale, Florida this Friday, the 22nd. I'm a guest of Florida Supercon. They have asked that I bring 200 photographs of myself for which to frighten children out of their GIR infatuations. At least I assume that's the reason. I don't have time to get an official headshot taken, but since I got Tavisha the Awesome Camera for her birthday it fell to her to make me look beautiful:



But apparently they really want to send the kids home with nightmares, so we're going with the Salman Rushdie eyebrows instead:



Meanwhile, three lovely oven-maidens cast me in ceramic Ham Demon form:



Currently, there isn't much to report in this journal, as comics creation is boring business, and, at the moment, I wish to hog most of my thoughts for stories.

Before I get back to work on ShutterBox Book Five, I leave you with three things:

I. Literature:

I wrote a Vogon poem for you:

Thereby!
Doth my little accounting finger tick tock,
My smoldering buttocks of unmitigated receivables,
In the form of a nonrefundable item that is out of stock,
Unstammped and unapproved by any administrative body,
Is the metaphor that I use for my love for you which is unequivocal.
Therefore!
This order for your permanent blasting into the gaping maw of Cygnus X-1,
Flirts with my humongous longing to long for some feeling of remorse,
And doesn’t really lift my bulbous cheeks of doom into higher stratospheres of … fun,
But rather, really and most likely certainly does cause me to almost want to refrain from deadly force.
Almost!


II. Investigative Reporting:

Capnshady unleashes a fistful of Smuckers.

III. Humor:

Psst. C-SPAN is not your lady-dog.

-Rikki

*DIE* So THAT is what you guys have been up to! I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen a post from you in a while!

That first picture is priceless. I may have to counter it with a picture taken of me a couple of weeks ago. I just might.

While picture two would make a good publicity photo, I'd like to think that I'd use the first if I were you. It's even got a nice light area the top for a signature and little doodle. C'mon, Rikki, $10 each at the next con.
I'm serious.
Do it.

Also, I don't know who this Savage guy is, but judging by his listeners, he can eat me.

Oh, Savage is just one more radio-mouth who tries to link all his personal phobias to his imagined liberal conspiracies. His belligerent audience of "Colonels' and "Doctors" can't take the time to find out if C-SPAN is government funded or not, but lack of fact-checking doesn't stop them from demanding that anyone who doesn't agree with their freedom-loving ways get out of the country. That sentiment always cracks me up: "AMERICA: Love it or leave it!" The appropriate response to that, of course is, "Make me." And then watch them turn purple when they realize that one American born citizen cannot force another American born citizen to "move to Norway." Sorry Savage people. You'll just have to grow up and cope.

GIR is my most favorite animated character of all time, which is saying a lot coming from an otaku. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet you briefly and get your signature. I wish I had the chance to talk, but if I stayed that convention longer than I had to, I'd have gone broke. >_>
