Julie and Julianne

How your colors show in odd ways.

Instead of bursting fountains of rainbow, you gave birth to several quirky delights.

I learned from you Julie Forth, or rather, Tally Angel, that explosions of light can be found in different ways. Such as a contraption using wiring and a tennis-racket-y frame, zaps the pests known darlingly as bugs. In fact, by Tally's hand, there had been two bugsplosions.

Also, flashes of lightning and booms of thunder with sheets of rain covered
the exterior of the humble abode full of lovely trinkets, art, humility, love, beautiful puppies, and loads of candy. This abode is the home Phlegm Fatale and LawDog. Their puppies will be known as Cheewee and BonBon (variations of their actual names to protect them as the humans are protected as well). LMT (Mamacita) and Silver (Shortie! :p ) were there of course, as was Tally (Twinnie Twin Twin :) ).

Also Phlegmmy said I should mention the fact that there were gummy octopi. GUMMY OCTOPI! Seriously, how awesome is that?

Right now (as I'm typing on my note pad) we are driving through Elsewhere, Texas (it has many names). Oh it's beautiful here. The lake and the river are so beautiful. And I spot a Starbucks and a whole bunch of shops not in the Land of Emeralds and Sapphires. Bigger roads, bigger cars and more places I recognize.

I feel so at home here. So many nice people.

Later in the day...

Now it's late July 5th. The first part of this post was early July 5th. Anyways, Julie Forth's cousin, Julianne the Fifth, showed the day after the celebration of independence could be just as good.

I had a blast meeting Phlegmmy and Law Dog and several others. Their hospitality and tolerance of annoyance amazes me.

Today Phlegmmy had taken us to a lovely, fuckin awesome store full of movies, books, video games, and COMIC BOOKS!

I almost got the Twilight graphic novel, full of beautiful images, stylized so nicely, but Tally and I figured we could find something better. After all, this store had a bunch of comic books.

Tally had chosen for her bounty two comic books. One, a depressing Iron Man comic book detailing the Mandarin's connection to the Iron Man movies and his destruction of the lives of good people (suprisingly in the film industry) who tried desperately to fight back.

Sorry, but there are no pictures of this comic book cover online and I do not feel like getting the picture of the comic book.

The second one was a Birds of Prey comic, (obviously) taking place in Gotham City (it's DC, not Marvel). It was the second in a series of four (Tally didn't ever have the first one). Basically it shows the ruination of the lives of several costumed vigilantes and the death of two. But determination is shown at the end, which is an awful cliffhanger, leaving me wanting more.


Seriously, the Penguin's also in it. Weird...

What I had chosen was not a comic book, but a movie. A used movie that I so love:


Jumper. Seriously, you thought this post would have no mention movies. Well ha! You were wrong.

An updated side note: This was from the director of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity? REALLY?

Silver had chosen two items, one she had paid for herself. The first one was a t-shirt, a cute t-shirt that definitely describes most of us here.



The second, the first in a manga series named Gurren Lagann, an incredibly awesome (so far) manga based off of an anime, full of memorable quotes, robots, explosions, and just plain badassery.



My mother had gotten a book from a series by David Weber and Phlegmmy had gotten two cute little toys.

What else had we done over the course of this day and the previous?

Well we ate a lot of good food. We talked a lot, enjoyed real coversation. Definitely conversation that I could get into. I finished my library book:



Now I have to get on with this book:



We watched videos, by this website:

We watched the Nostalgia Critic reviews of Judge Dredd, Batman and Robin, and Superman IV and we watched the Nostalgia Chick review of Labyrinth.

Awesome.

To top it all off, here are some lovely pictures of doggies.


Cheewee


BonBon

And here are our doggies (also with codenames to match!):


Quinn


Chris


Quinn and Chris togethah!

So all in all, Julie Forth and Julianne the Fifth had introduced me to great people and a great peace of mind. Thank you.

Update

Actually, this night, we did finally see some fountains spraying rainbow and big booms, along with some misfires (LMT's roomate, (codename) Chuckles lit these fireworks that were extremely gargantuan and they totally wrecked the launching pipes they were lit in. They actually spread out on the ground and almost hit us several times). There were so many colors and sounds, I was just so full of bliss to see such a wonderful sight. It puts me in the perfect mood.

UPDATE AGAIN

Sorry I am posting later than expected, but I've been procrastinating again. YAY!
