ahhhh..Eric

"I confessed my love for her, and with a burning pain in my heart I realized how unnecessary, how petty, and how deceptive all that had hindered us from loving was. I understood that when you love you must either, in your judgments about that love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, or you must not judge at all.

"I kissed her for the last time, pressed her hand, and we parted forever. The train was already in motion."

- from "On Love"

Happy Canada Day

Woot? Eh?
hee hee hee...


DID you download your free copy of Nine Inch Nails "The Slip" yet?
Why not?


my new rockstar boyfriend
(sorry David Bowie )

Lucky me

yes i swiped the photo from them....aheeenn

Oops , I forgot to blog this weekend..must mean I HAVE A LIFE!
BWHAAHAHAHA!
Ahem:
One thing I DID deal with this past weekend was the UPS guy never seeing the
signed notices, him not leaving the box. finally today leaving it
and also leaving all the notices. Aren't they supposed to take those WITH
them?
Anyway no matter. What was in the box?, you ask...TEA,
TEA SAMPLES from MIGHTY LEAF Tea. company out of San Fran.
One of the hoitier Tea companies.Full disclosure, they ASKED me
to sample them, I guess after they saw me blogging about NUMI TEA.
Hmm...now if the Mini-Cooper car co. would read this... tee hee...

One thing I can say about my ex- boyfriend is, he turned me onto
many,many things, one of them, tea. ( Thanks J.P! :)
I brewed a cup of Mighty Teas "Green Tea Tropical"...green tea,pineapple
and guava...hmmm...I can taste the fruit, mixed in with the green.Interesting!
Not something I'd have everyday,but it's sort of a summer tea..add some honey
it's a SWEET SHOT! Yowza antioxidents as well..hmmm..it's light so it's
a good starter to the line I suppose!
I dug the silk bags...oooh sexy tea...in it's underwear!
BWAHAHAHAHA!




MORE INTERESTING THINGS HERE:

During a Dim -Sum Birthday Excursion last week. Pal Misun and I ventured into
the Pacific Ocean Grocery..where we discovered
Soft core porn exists everywhere... it looks somewhat seedy and unsavory
in a "Can't quite put my finger on it " kind of way....We felt kind of
borderline creeped out by the bag of candy..it was a SUMMER SPECIAL BAG!
Just SUPER!


Final thing:
Why no comics posted lately..
Two reasons:
1.haven't DONE any in 3 weeks or so..
2. I have a really, really good explanation for
this one, but I don't quite feel at liberty to
discuss it any further now than:
"honestly it's a GOOD thing..be happy for me and
be in my corner cheering me on, is all I can say ;)

My new lover!

It's true, I have found a new love! He's all that I ever wanted
In a companion, He's steadfast and true. Solid, very
sharp, Tall dark and handsome! I'm head over heals.
Never again will I be disappointed and left standing there
alone, wondering what happened to have him turn on me
so quick. He makes no demands on me, has no
unreasonable expectations of me. Unconditional love
thru and thru! he doesn't blather on about inane topics,
is quiet and calm into the night. I can take him anywhere
and not have him embarrass me.
And he comes from Japan.. and you know how I LOVE foreigners!
He flows like butter ,glistens and gleams...he feals so good in my
hands, so firm,yet, yielding....
oh but I DO go on....you must meet him now, the one that has
truly stolen my heart:

His name is NAMIKI ...Namiki Falcon Fountain pen 14K gold nib...
SIGH..isn't he DREAMY?


Look at the shiny face.. I will kiss him all over now! SIGH........

PURE POP

...George Clooney, reeling from his breakup with his girlfriend,
was spotted last night attending a tony Hollywood party with
non other than his ex-bigheaded girlfriend, Cartooninst/Socialite,
Patty Leidy.
Is rekindled romance in the air for these two ex- lovebirds...?
Time will tell.When cornered in the ladies room,
Patty offered " It should work out this second time
around..see with my big head , it sort of balances it out
since George is so big headed as well...get it?
Besides, I don't mind it so much as the other gals
when George eats crackers in bed...I mean C'MON
would YOU toss him outta bed for eating crackers!!
SHEESH!"

some reason...

No?..well then forget I said anything!

off to finish inking a comic...
I'm hating this CANSON Vellunm Bristol board I got.
it seems to be a bit slick for my pencils and inks
and I get all "speedy" when I work and it looks
a bit sloppy..the artists out there know of what I speak!
A trip to Meiningers may be in order tomorrow at some point..
I like something with a bit more 'TOOTH" to it...
any suggestions...?

For your enjoyment.....I present:


Now I'm not sure WHEN we turned to actually killing ,dismembering and EATING the guts of Vegetarians...no one filled ME in on it....I would actually prefer to
dine on something more substantial from the corpse...like...umm..say the
meaty thigh area ..or the upper arm...though I suspect the regular vegetarian doesn't have much extra meat or fat on them...
They are a bit lean I would supposed....so you'd HAVE to use the ALL the parts...
no waste here!!!

I'm SURE the world can spare a few vegetarians....LOL

HEY GANG!!

This came across my email today from Richie publisher of PEZ heads newsletter and head of our PEZ group....
I wrote in...




Hi Everyone,

Most PEZ collectors know that Wendy the Snapple Lady is a PEZ collector. Recently she was fired from Snapple. (see story below) I don’t know about you, but when I think of Snapple I think of Wendy. She is the face of Snapple products. As PEZheads, lets see if we can make a difference.

All I am asking you for is a minute of your time. Please go to the Snapple web site (here is a quick link)

http://www.econsumeraffairs.com/am_bev/contactus.htm?F1=snapple&F2=Snapple_Tea_Blend

fill out the form and ask Snapple to bring Wendy back.

Thank you….

Here is the story from the “We love Wendy” group on Facebook.

On March 5, 2008, Wendy "The Snapple Lady" Kaufman was invited to lunch by a VP of marketing for Cadbury Schweppes, the most recent owner of Snapple. He not only told her to pick the restaurant, but he also informed her that it'd be a fun and casual lunch. Unfortunately for Wendy, however, the meal would prove to be anything but.

Just after she ordered, Wendy was told that her existing contract with Snapple had been terminated. They did give her another one at the meal, but it was a case of corporate posturing: they only wanted Wendy to sign it so she'd be tied up both personally and professionally for the rest of her life, for zero dollars.

Obviously, this was an offer that she had to refuse. It was horrible, like getting served divorce papers after 18 years of marriage. No consideration of Wendy's history with the brand, no notice for Wendy and her family's sake, no severance package, no thanks for her years of loyalty to the brand or for loyal fans of the brand, no announcement to the public for her to say goodbye officially - nothing at all. Wendy was devastated. It wasn't so much that she was fired, but the meanspirited way in which she was discarded that stung so much. Feeling completely depressed, and having had no contact whatsoever with Snapple, Wendy had no idea how to handle the situation at hand. What was she supposed to say to all of the fans who approached her every day and said things like, "Hey, it's The Snapple Lady!"

Last week, Fox News contacted Wendy to ask for a comment about Cadbury Schweppes' decision to make Dr. Pepper Snapple a publically traded company. You can imagine how shocked they were when the always bubbly and gregarious Wendy had no comment on the matter. But they were even more shocked when she told them why. That day, producers invited Wendy to appear on air to announce her firing from Snapple. Viewers were outraged and Fox's Neil Cavuto was so upset that he discussed it further on the following night's program.

Would Snapple have experienced so much success without Wendy's presence? Probably not. But perhaps more importantly, will Snapple continue to experience success without its much-loved spokesperson? Not if legions of Wendy's fans have anything to do with it. Whether executives at Cadbury Schweppes like it or not, Wendy will always be The Snapple Lady

whatever you do....

....don't forget the beef porcupines!!!!

MMMMMMMMMMMM...."STICKY"!!!
