Incomplete Blog Entries

Rate this Entry
Been going through a what to blog about stage where ideas come, get started then crash and burn by my own boredom of the topic.

Last night I did an entire entry and Litnet wouldn't take the entry. I tried a shortcut after copying/pasting and the modem kept me waiting forever and I lost the entry.

The basic theme was blogs I started, deleted, slaved over etc. The might have been entries.

So here's some things you the dear peruser of the whited sepulchre's ramblings and boastings you may have been momentarily diverted from on the way to discussing D. H.'s short stories on the author's log. I swear that's the most used thread of all.

NOTE: Some of these ideas when thought over probably deserved to be put in the discard file.

1. Ten Reasons why Logos should call me on the phone.

2. 15 reasons why the above idea probably woudn't work out in the Mary Poppins Meets Mr. Hyde storyline the drama queen predicts would be the resulting chaos.

3. Update on the idiot nephew and life as a guest of the New York penal colony.

4. Update on the AAA President's breakfast. Good news they actually served something I liked. Job still safe. New president announced.

5. The car window malfunctioning and the son-in-law to the rescue.

6. The Lawnmower of Doom's first defeat for the season.

7. The Lawnmower's revenge. It cohabited with Mother Nature and made the grass grow back FASTER!

8. Short history of Myra Reldon and why SHE should have been The Shadow's main female agent instead of that clumsy Margo Lane. Radio influences indeed!!

9. Getting the window fixed a week after the son-in-law's attempt.

10. How a $23.98 credit card denial turned into a circus between a tow service, a college kid and an angry mother in Cleveland. One phone call notice to me would have been proper, timely, and save much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

11. Avengers collection update. OK--here goes--up to 129.

12. The worse annual Free Comic Book Day since the tradtion started and the dirty secret behind this 'free' event.

13. My total polictical comment best summed up by the cliche: "This person too shall pass on."

14. How one offhand remark from a long suffering wife led to the grizzley sulking and whining to the two Litnetters who DO think talking to me on the phone is a little slice of heaven--Logos take notes. Solution--Ruth totally forgot she said it and I decided to let one go to get my benefits back.

All for now. Like I say these really are the dregs of a dwindling imagination.

    all of those sounded like great ideas that I would have enjoyed. You have a talent for telling stories!

    Haha! While any of those sound scintillating, I rather like the "Lawnmower of Doom" options. Anything with titles like all of those on your list could lead to most fascinating narratives.

    LOL, those are funny topcs. Great entry rich. One other thing Rich. Are you going to see the new Ironman movie? It's got great reviews. When I was young and into comics Ironman was my favorite.

    To Virgil. Bills came first this week so Iron Man is on the backburner. Marvel has released all of IM's early Tales of Suspense stories in their hardcover reprint series called Marvel Masterworks. Fourvolumes released that take us from 1962 to early 1968--Tales of Suspense 39-99, Iron Man and Sub-mariner 1, and the first Iron Man 1. I have collected Iron Man twice (but no longer--he was a casualty of the mid-life crisis) but I once owned owned ALL his comics up to 2005 at one time or another. I have the reprints books. Hope to catch the movie next pay period after the crowds settle down. At one point I wanted to collect a solo Marvel hero and it got down to Daredevil and Iron Man and IM won because the range of stories you could have him in were wider. Being a founding member of The Avengers helped to.

    I also think the Lawnmower of Doom options sound great!

    I laughed openly over some of your list of possibilities! Look forward to whatever comes next -- your writing style is really something, Rich!
