See you in two weeks


Again, it's time to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and head on East. There will be stories when I come back. And pictures of cute babies. And that's about it. But it will be fun, so don't abandon me.

Meanwhile, head on to Puntabulous and see my speaking role in The Starship Puntabulous.

And you still have some time to vote for the Wishful Writer in Murphy-Goode, PICK ME!

And see what you can do to help Jeff get his business off the ground in Thank you! I'll TAKE that help.

And click that "Random Post" tab above the header (or here). It will take you places.

Speaking of the Star Trek movie, if you go back in time after your civilization is destroyed, do you spend all your time getting revenge for something that hasn't happened yet, or do you try to prevent it from happening? Or are all the explosions and sound effects supposed to stop me from asking silly questions?

And finally, here's a video of a cute baby talking on his cell.

Oh. Mah. GOD. How adorable is that baby? I will be back several times (just in case you look at your stats and think you have a stalker, you don't. I just might need to hear that giggle again.) Have crazy good fun on the trip, expect crazy good stories when you get back.

SJ said...

How cute is he! And that skeleton shirt is awesome too.

And YOU said that I spend too much time on blogs. Ha!

Jeff said...

Awesome... I'll take all the help I can get. Thanks!

Good question about the Star Trek thing. Another question I have is... If you're exiled to an M-class planet, what are the odds that you'll land just a few hundred yards away from someone else who was exiled there when you could have landed anywhere on the whole planet? Just curious.

Liam is too cute! Have a great trip. I, too, look forward to on-the-road stories when you return.

And, dude, if you can go back in time after your civilization is destroyed, you spend your time hoarding all the cool stuff you want to be sure you have with you in the future: Chocolove bars, really excellent jewelry and, like, the Magna Carta and stuff.

Oh my gosh! I commented on TWO WHOLE POSTS without taking about how stinking cute that kid is! How did that happen?!?!?! That is one absurdly adorable child.

That's much better than my Star Trek question, which was why it was so important that Kirk become captain if it's an alternate life and all. And the only answer I can figure out is that if he lets Spock continue to be captain, then the TV shows don't make any sense.

It's too bad that you're leaving right when I get some computer time. You should really consider planning your vacations around MY school schedule...but have a great trip anyway!

Are the young ladies falling all over themselves to get to that boy yet? If not, you better prepare yourself. lol

Cheers,
Eddy

Love the skeleton outfit.

Can´t wait for stories from Jesus land.

LiteralDan said...

Cute kid, but unless my eyes deceive me, it looks like you guys need to feed him a lot more. He's wasting away!

As for the movie question, I say why cry over spilled milk when you can murder over it!

Enjoy the trip, make sure to come back with lots of cute kid pictures in somber places.

While u r in Israel/Palestine/the Holly Land, try to pass by some Arab towns and villages in the West Bank as well as Haifa where Arabs and Jews mostly live in Peace. Would appreciate it if you can get some views about Obama and his speech in Cairo. Can you take some pictures of the aparthied wall? Gosh, I'm asking you for many things! Anyways have a safe trip in my country. The baby looks adorable, God protect him

Praying, thanks. I might need to see that video again myself a few times. Man... I just saw it again. He is insanely cute.

SJ, did I say that? I didn't really say that. Didn't I design an award just for you?

Jeff, and that monster seemed a bit contrived. It was like, "Fuck it. Let's go with a giant spider that shoots poison from its teeth."

Girl, thank you. But I've never tried Chocolove. Have I been living a lie?

Jill, and you know what? If you're mostly famous for a show about time travel where the present cannot be changed, you can't make a movie where it can be changed. !. !!!. I don't know what the point was of anything there. Cool movie, though.

Eddy, after this video I think I'm going to raise his price to 6 camels and 2 pregnant goats.

Blues, I don't know how to approach this next post yet. I got here two days ago, sick as a puppy, and I'm only now reclaiming my brain back from the Tylenols. Will it be a dirty laundry post? Or maybe I'll just put up some pictures? Maybe I'll write about the three days in London?

Dan, fooled you! It's actually an optical illusion.

Ali, thanks. I never got as far East as Jerusalem or the West Bank/Palestine. And we only drove through Haifa. What did I do there... I cursed other drivers a lot. I did talk a little about politics. A friend with a kindergarten told me about a former Arab-Israeli football star who wasn't allowed to coach an Israeli youth team; only a Palestinian one. I went to Jaffa and saw the growing disparity between Israeli and Arab houses. I talked with a friend of the family who was afraid of Obama because he was a Muslim. But mostly I spent my time cursing other drivers quietly, pretending I was better because I didn't honk like them, but really hoping that after they passed me and gave me a dirty look they would have an accident and die while apologizing to me. I'm only human.
