Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Alex Toth has passed away yesterday morning, appropriately enough, drawing at his table.

We've lost one of the greats, but the impact of his work will continue for ages to come, in both animation and illustration. We were very fortunate to have him as long as we did.

Fairly TMI Scotto factoid - I lost my virginity with my first girlfriend while Jonny Quest, a show Toth did both story boards and character design for, was on TV. (Two Episodes back to back: The 'Q' Missile Mystery and Shadow of the Condor, if you must know, dear journal)

Missed out on the Classic Tv at the singing fountain and Wendy's Birthday party due to being on call. I'm free as of 8am Monday Morning, though! Hopefully, I can hang out with Danny and/or Dave then.

Sounds like Mandy's having a grand time at the con - talked to her while in the dealer's room... all sorts of nifty loot there (dealer room is probably my fave part of most cons - I suspect that most of the pirate DVD sellers have to be more honest, now with so many portable players available.

---

Nice collection of OTR resources (something to tune in to while on call...) Zoot and Zombie Astronaut are two longtime faves.

---

( I'm Elmo? ELMO? )

Usurper of Grover's rightful crown, me? The battle cry seems right, but a little long. Hitman name strangely accurate.

I still wonder how you can have a guest star in a movie.

On a bit of a Juice Newton Kick this weekend. - (No, Newt isn't named for her. Or Olvia-n-john. or Wayne.)

Moment of Lyric - Youtube

Midnight,
and I'm a-waiting
on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me
just a little farther down the line

Moonlight,
you're just a heartache in disguise;
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short time

Nice phone time with MM. I'm looking increasingly forward to the top of July... it'll be here before I know it! I hope Newtie's on better behavior than he was with Kev. I may be heading to Dragon*Con at the top of September this year, too, if everything works out as well as I hope.

---

Bad Phone time with Bro. looking to mooch - asked about places to sell plasma.. I don't sell it, I donate it. wanted to drive me around for gas money... I told him it'd cost him more in gas to drive his truck up here. He needs to just get the heck out of Hollywood.. every time he goes there, he goes back into his old patterns.

Leave your name and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you
2. I'll challenge you to try something
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you
4. I'll tell you something I like about you
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours

Okay, 8 is totally optional.

Added Bonus, Sedef will be in town in September, and hopefully the Weezle, too!!

Glad I waited on watching last week's Dr Who with this week's.... a two parter. Quite well done, too. Hooray for Zeppelins, Parallel Earths and Cybermen! (The Term "Maximum deletion" is rather silly, though.)

---

I'm going to give Tarpo's scavenger hunt a try next weekend. (I'd prefer to be going to Balticon, but that doesn't look likely, with work and such... My boy EN is off to Idahos, so I've got to snag his shifts if I can't fob them off on anyone else.)

Moment of Lyric - mp3

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!
Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Ah, my idea for a coffee bomb has been reproduced in nature. Those Wolfgang Puck self-heating lattes are being recalled. Sometimes they catch fire, explode, and/or dump the heating chemicals into the coffee itself. It seems one can in five is bad.

I've got tentative plans to have MM over to my place on the 4th of July weekend! I need to plan out some fun Florida host-type activites.... see who'll be at Revolution and maybe a day trip to Vizcaya/Art/Science Museums. Metrozoo? Monkeys?

It'll be nice.. first time I've had a houseguest at the new place, and I'm very excited!

Bro going to court in June over shoplifting charges. *cough* DUMBASS *cough* A flashlight from office depot.

On the way home from work, I picked up a crank-chargeable am/fm radio for $5. That's pretty awesome technology. about 1 minute of turning gives 30 min+ of music. Definitely a good hurricane gizmo to have. Plus, no batteries for the landfill! It seems to pick up stations quite well.

If I were one of Scooby-Doo's gang, I'd write memoirs. Bolded and Italic names are the top 5 folks I'd really like to meet (or have met before they croaked.) Hm, I seem to lean to the fictional. Note I'd rather hang with Dick van Dyke than Jeannie and Babu. None of that "YABBLE DABBLE" stuff for me, no matter how cute Jeannie is. Frigging flying Joe Besser.

Subject line is based off of Ze's 5-17-06 video journal entry.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected a possible European Union proposal that would include an exchange of a light-water nuclear reactor for Tehran giving up uranium enrichment. "Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?" Ahmadinejad said about the proposal,according to The Associated Press. Iran has disregarded the U.N.Security Council demand that the country end nuclear enrichment.

Dang gold-hoarding, trading-all-foolhardily-and-such babies.

I've got some walnuts.

Well, Momster and Wilt are pretty sick and out of commission, so that frees up my Sunday brunch schedule. Walkies it is! I'm not going to dine out this morning, because I know it's pretty much a universal restaurant crowd sort of holiday. It just means I can go to a non-mommy-type place with relative ease today... maybe a movie?

---

Had a lovely long phone talk yesterday, to make more vacation plans, but we ended up simply chitty-chatting... that was quite nice, too.

An Alien Saucer is hovering overhead. A cone of coherent lime green light erupts from the bottom center of the craft, and strikes a man walking down the street.

He vanishes with a flash, and a popping sound of air rushing to fill the void where he once was.

Moment of Lyric - mp3

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!
