Oh yeah – also, though I do love to travel and I don’t generally get very warm toward my homestead, it was pretty darn nice to come in out of the cold, give Reggie some water, and relax. I finished a book (happened to bring some Stainless Steel Rat with me, as well as finishing up Snow Crash for the billionth time), puttered online, and did nothing important all day. :)

EDIT: “Later roles, such as the sinister Dr. Benway in 1991’s “Naked Lunch,” were less stalwart.” – Naked Lunch was released in 1991? Seriously? I remember a certain afternoon at Megan’s place when I was 14 or 15. We watched it on TV, and most of the (older) gang found it most entertaining due to their altered perspectives. I thought it was at least ten years old by that point, but I was 13 in 1991.

I saw it a few years later, with a little more understanding of Burroughs under my belt, and it was completely different for me.

    • “And lo, the single sprout stood mighty against the Skippy, its fragrant leaves like a wall of thorns, and tender shoots as mighty redwoods.

      What had been a confident assault became a rout as Skippy was slapped once, twice, thrice by the leaves of Reggie until he fell back from the railing and onto the soft earth below, whence could be heard, “Goddammit!”

      • For eternal posterity

        Me: I hope you liked my little story
        Skipford: Liked may not be dead on. ;)
        Me: *grin*
        Me: Well, y’know, you can laugh while being thwarted.
        Skipford: I can.
        Skipford: But -will- I
        Me: I think the question is -have- you. unless you’re referring to additional thwarting in the future.
        Me: rather than the present thwarting
        Me: in which case, I applaud your forward thinking.
        Skipford: I did chuckle.
        Skipford: I also went and ordered a roomba.
        Me: *laugh* that is… a very strange response.
        Me: “oh yeah?! Well, at least my floors will be clean!”
        Skipford: Fuck yes!
