You can find anything at Wal-mart

[unknownfate]

Well, I came out of Wal-mart yesterday, and my car was dead. Luckily, I was at Wal-mart. All I had to do was strut back inside to the auto department and ask the burly young man there what battery would be best for a mercury sable. He found it, I bought it, and back to the car I went.

Then my tool box wasn't there. It had been taken out when my car was put in storage. So I was going to go back inside to buy a wrench when a man in a pick-up truck pulled into the spot next to me. Aha! Not only did he have a wrench I could borrow, he did the wrenching for me. (Ahh, chivalry....)

Eh?

Ch-iv-al-ry?
What's that?
Bangorian Men don't seem to have that characteristic. Whilst helping out in Canes restaurant the other day, at zero notice and despite the fact I had a squillion other things to do, I kept getting yelled at by Darren whenever he wanted something:
"HEN BRAAN!! OY! HEN BRAAN!!"
("OLD CROW!! OY! OLD CROW!!")
And by John the Chef:
"OY! OY! ADAM'S MISSUS!"
And by Adam himself:
"Sit down, you're making the place look untidy!!!"
Men.

There are those who mock the place of my birth as a den of rednecks and hillybillies and the teeming masses of unwashed and unsophisticated. I won't say it's not ENTIRELY without truth, but the fact remains that in FL and NC I had to wait beside my car or by a payphone for hours if I got in trouble, where here, the act of raising the hood of my car summons helpful passersby out of nowhere.

It may be a backwater, but I'll take it!

I remember WV chivalry well. Got me out of a tight spot twice! :)

So what're you doing in WV right now? Are you going to get a summer job? Has Tigerboy been reunited with Froud yet? How'd he react? Did he go crazy when he got to go outside to play for once in a long time? What projects are you working on lately?

I'm cleaning up the house and eating cookies. No job at the moment. Tigerboy and Froud appear to be having no trouble getting along, though Froud and Cinnamon rumble at each other.
I don't have a definite project I'm working on yet. Just various this n that. You?

Well my projects these days usually involve various levels of cleaning/organizing the house! Especially since I work so much, the house really needs attention once I have some time off. Thankfully I'll be taking a little vacation soon. :) As for art projects I have several that I'd *like* to be working on, just no time to do it in. Once n' awhile I'll do a very quick sketch, groan at how bad it is, then just as quickly put the sketchbook away. (I'm out of practice).

I've been trying to do a little everyday. Draw a little something, write a little something... stuff like that.

Leeaving Now!

Bye bye, Sweetness!
If I survive the flight, and my own personal demons, and if I'm not stoned to death for wearing a bikini (I heard they outlawed whaling, so I oughta be fine, but you never know) I'll bring you back something irresistibly and devastatingly pretty.
I'll miss yooou!
