Oooo THAT Peter……

Posted By on January 4, 2008

There is a discussion about the latest Spiderman Storyline over on Peter’s Blog (www.peterdavid.net) which due to content is rather heated (and I am not going to put a spoiler here but will allow that there might be such discussion in the comment section so be forewarned). My problem is that I keep seeing “Peter” and it takes a moment for my mind to process that they are talking about Peter Parker not Peter David. Personally, I know all about it and am steering clear of it so don’t ask my opinion about it.

We might be going to New York ComicCon this year for reasons that will become clear later. We had a lot of fun last year and met a number of really nice people.

I have to get cracking on the costumes for Farpoint. I want to have them done by the beginning of February (Yeah, I can dream). Today is all about those darn dollies that are sitting on my sewing table and laughing at me. Then I have a couple of puppets I need to knock out.

I have a possibility to present a puppet show I have been knocking around in my head. I am now debating what I should do. I would have to have the proposal and a chunk of the show done before March. Just something to think about at this point. It might even work for that piece that Neil thought would make a good puppet show eons ago. The only stipulation to this show is that it has to be done in toy theater form.

Yesterday when I woke up I thought my allergies were kicking up but now I think I am looking at a head cold since this feels more like a head cold especially in the throat. I have also had the darn tickle in the back of my throat which has been causing lots of coughing. I have been sipping on water to try to keep from coughing.

Now I just need to get some motivation going so I can work on stuff. I think I have been spending entirely too much time attached to the Internet recently. But I love the Internet and all the cool things on it. I know what I did before the Internet came along for entertainment and maybe I should see if I can still survive without it. So I am going to go off the grid once a month on the 16th of the month this year. From Sunrise to Sunset to start with and then eventually 24 hour periods. This includes not using my cell phone and not watching TV (but I can tape something to watch later if needed).

There are other things on my 101 list that I need to get started on so I can complete them in a timely fashion. Rather than a Home Make-Over, it is a Me Make-over to try to break some of the bad habits I have had off and on for years.

I am grateful for the nifty stuff that the postman brings.

    Which is why I almost always refer to your hubby as PAD, not Peter.

    I’m thinking of going to the NY con this year. It’s a long way for me to go (I live in the arctic), but I always wanted to go to a big con and might not have many chances to go, but I have time and a free plane ticket this year.

    The point being, I’d loved to meet PAD at the con, having been a fan of his work for many years. That would be nice.
