I totally got an autograph of an award winning writer today. Yeah be jealous like you should be. The author? Terri Jentz. Had to read her book Strange Piece of Paradise for a class and she came and talked to our class today. Yeah. That's right. Sweet eh?
Ok gotta admit I've never heard of her until I was forced to read the book and thought it was pretty good so thought what the hey why not get it autographed? Since I have, like, none! Well silly me. Aladdin, Jasmine, Pooh Bear and Tigger aren't no one, they are amazing. But outside the spectrum of Disney characters, yep none. Lied again. Charlie Wills...and Kirk Penny, Andy Kowske, and Ricky Bower. But they only played college basketball at Wisconsin. Pretty cool though. Point being, of people who are famous more nationally (the book is gonna be a movie, so keep an eye out for it) I have none. I thought about bidding on a Craig Counsell autograph newspaper from the '97 World Series but then realized that 1) I don't have a credit card so eBay won't really work 2) It would be more cool to get it in person (chya, like that'd ever happen. Have you met me? I don't talk all that much around people I don't know, or all that much to start with. I'm a selective speaker so if the opportunity came about, I'd clam up and stare from a distance) 3) I'd have to explain how lame I am to have bought it off eBay, and then explain and tell people to back the hell off my fandom of him. I tell ya, I'll fight anyone who doesn't think he's any good. Ok, more like evil stare them.
Right.
Today is my roommate's 21st birthday. Yay! Though I can't go to the bars with her. Boo. But she did use her age to my advantage and purchased for me a case of Samuel Adams Winter Classics. I had a an Old Fezziwig Ale and it was delicious. Fezziwig being of course a character from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
....got that off the bottle. Along with it having caramel, chocolate infusions with a hint of ginger and orange. And some other things but I'm just recalling from memory.
Speaking of my roommate's 21st, want to see the AWESOME card I made for her? Yeah? Alright. (I did take a picture...deal. and lets not forget what pisses katie off? posting pictures on blogger pisses katie off. katie likes spaces in between lines, not none at all or gaps the size of valleys.)

Yeah that's Brett Favre getting or about to be gotten mauled by a buffalo. Why Brett Favre in peril? My roommate hates the Packers, more specifically Mr Favre with a passion, and wishes nothing but ill will towards him. And she is a fan of the Buffalo Bills so I decided that having any regular old Bill's player tackling just wouldn't do it justice. Oh and want to talk irony? I drew the pictures Thursday night when the Packers played Dallas and right about the same time Favre got hurt. I'm just saying...ironic. (for the record, I'm impartial to the NFL but do consider myself a Packers fan. I did this for her, not because I hate Brett Favre...though he seems like he could be a huge ass)
and yes, I'm a crappy drawer. The camera is my artistic tool of choice. And it'd on blue paper cuz I didn't have any white. Hehe.
Um yeah. I think I have effectively wasted both my time along with yours. I have an episode of Dirty Jobs on tape to watch and think I'm gonna do that.
Word to your mother.

What a great drawing Katie - perhaps you should look into the field of fine art as a possible career. See you the 22nd! Tara
