Day Tripper

I've noticed something lately. I go to Portland a lot. I am on my way there in a few minutes. The Portland Comic Book Show is today. So of course I am heading down there. My hubby is only going so he can go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Portland is the closest one to us.

We couldn't get a babysitter so all three kids are going with us. This should be fun.

I'll post later with pictures.

Current mood: excited

Let it Flow

I am getting a lot of work done on a short story that I'm writing. I still have awhile before the May deadline so this makes me very happy. My other project has taken a back seat for the moment while I get this done. I will get back to it soon. I hope.

Inspiration comes from the strangest of places. I was goofing off online and then it hit me. I knew what story to write.

Friday Night

I have had a very busy weekend. To start off, Friday night I went to see Sweeney Todd. I have always loved this musical so I was a bit worried.

I should have known that Johnny Depp would do a great job as the demon barber. I was laughing so much that my hubby kept telling me to be quite. I just looked around at all the others laughing and shook my head.



Then on Saturday, we went to see The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything with all three kids. They all had a great time. Even Anthony, the youngest, enjoyed himself. I was very surprised at how well behaved he was.


I may never be able to eat cheese curls again.

Then last night I was able to go to an advanced screening of U2 3D. I took the bus down to Pikes Place Market. Supricingly, I was able to get some writing done on the bus. Now the trick is trying to read what I wrote.

I was trying to go to a couple of shops there but I did not know that every thing closes at 6pm. I arrived at 6:05. To say I was mad would be an understatement. So I decided to explore a little. I had over an hour before I was to meet up with Jaime at the Pacific Science Center. I walked there. It was a fun little walk. I got called a whore by a very strange man. A guy who was waiting at the same corner as me said he didn't think I looked like a whore. I thanked him.


Once I meet up with Jaime we went in to get our seats for the show. For those not aware the movie is an IMAX 3D experience. The movie itself is a full concert.




The 2D trailer does not do it justice. It was a lot of fun.

Hello there

I hate my computer. It is trying to foil my writing. I am sure it is. That and it won't let me on the Internet for long. My hubby says that he will fix my desktop computer this weekend. I'm not holding my breath.

I was planning to review a book I read. I'm not doing that today. You'll have to wait until next week. Sorry. I have been very busy trying to get things in order around the house.

Anyway, Pam is going on a daddy daughter date tonight. The boys and I have pizza on our minds. I am going to try and get some writing done tonight.

Current Mood: cheerful

Someone Says

I drove down to the show. It was my first time in Portland and I had a great time. The show was small but still fun. I ran into Brian. I swear we are stalking each other. The only other explanation is we just like the same stuff. I got some stuff signed and even bought a few things.

I'll post a few photos once I get them loaded.

I Like It

I am trying very hard to be good. I really need to get some house work done. But I really don't want to do anything right now. A nice long nap sounds wonderful. I am still trying to work on my comic. I just kinda run out of time at the end of the day. I really need to organise my time better. Anyway that is all for now in the maryverse. I will try to keep you all updated as best as I can.

Just thought you'd like to know.
