Supergirl and Lois



Thanks to Rocket Boy here, I have been made aware of past imperfections in my costuming skills.  The jets were awesome but Sky lacked an insignia on his chest.  Those were actually training rockets, only good for about half a bound.  And look at him now!
 

My two close personal friends, Supergirl and Lois Lane beckoned me back through time to the Ebay comic book section recently.  I heard them with my special powers and brought them to life through high-frequency concentration and paypal.  We chatted about the usual--men, supermen, mermaids (that's Lori Lemaris to the uninformed) and now, animals.  Of course, Superboy had Krypto, who amazingly looks like my darling Denali. But without the  supermotivation.  Although she used to lounge in a Big Way.  But here it is.  Supergirl has this horse that she has been having a lot of dreams about and has named him Comet.  Seems they are telepathic and she likes to straddle him in Space...That girl needs to lay off the super birth control pills and get a patch.  Maybe it will even out her hormones.  Why? because that horse is actually secretly an ALIEN!   You are right, Lynne, a margarita--a Super sized margarita, is in order here.  Now I have to see if I can find the next issue 'caus she as some Super 'Splainin' to do, Ricky!  

Got...to...buy...the ..next ..issue..

Skin Deep


Add VideoBig Night at Ruth Eckerd Hall this past Thursday.  Buddy Guy and BB King.  We had a car service so driving at 1 AM would not be a problem.  Actually, that made a real difference in making this thing happen.  so we are deposited at the theater, take our drinks to our fabulous seats, and just watch everything unfold.  There were 2 sets of roadies, 2 back up bands (Excellent!) and other than that, no set background.  Just amazing music.  I can't say that I am a true blues fan like my husband, Chris, but I can say that those were the most rocking 3 1/2 hours I have spent in years.  And Buddy was singing and winking right at me and we are going to be married.  Chris says he will give me away....he took this pic of BB.  I just love it.  Buddy's latest CD is Skin Deep.  He sang the title song at the concert, about how we are all the same under the skin.  Very few dry eyes after that.  What a Guy!

The art plan for this week involves working on a mural with Spring Hill Art League peeps. It is a diverse group and I know it will be a project of the heart.  My own plans will include printing out some stuff for an upcoming show at Spirit of the Hand and preparing for the Mermaid calendar stuff.

This season has left me wiped out.  It is probably a combination of dogs and pollens...I sneeze all the time and my eyes and throat itch.  I never believed much in allergies til I had 'em!

Lots of reflection this birthday week.  Cory and Lyn helped a pet shelter in my name.  I love that!  My Thursday buddies waved us on to our date with BB, standing in the cold driveway as the limo pulled away.  They really knew what the night meant to me.  My buddy Lynne is like a little sis to me.  Such a gift in herself! And presents!  I skyped with Sky, Laura, and CJ.  How I love this tech stuff!  my heart would break otherwise.  and darling Chris got me this turntable thing so I could transfer vinyl to Itunes.  The first thing I recorded was music from Me, Natalie, by Rod Mckuen.  Yeah, Rod Mckuen.  I said my taste in music was eclectic.

Should Jack really trust Tony?  Is Daniel Faraday the son of Desmond and Penny?  Was it really a good idea for Admiral Adama to shoot Gaeta and Tom? hmmm.  at least Phillip will be back on GL.

and speaking of eclectic, an amazing video of a duet between Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown!
