A new thing.
It's been one hell of a busy Christmas for me, what with, well, Christmas, for one thing, plus lots of guests, plus middle-of-the-night runs to hospital, plus stuff. And it's not over yet. But, anyway, Merry Christmas to you all, and I'm sorry I didn't get around to saying that earlier.I cooked a Christmas dinner for twenty, which I think was pretty impressive. There were only nine people there to eat it, but hey.
Anyway, a while back, I mentioned that I'd found this fantastic comic strip called Achewood. Well, one of Achewood's characters, Ray Smuckles, now has a blog. And damn fine it is too:
MOM: I've left you seven messages, Raymond!
RAY: Aww, mom! We gon' talk about that or are we gonna talk?
MOM: I just don't see why you can't call your mother back.
RAY: I am callin' you back! Right now!
MOM: Why didn't you return my calls?
RAY: I am, right now!
MOM: I called you seven times!
RAY: And I'm returning those calls!
MOM: I don't see why you can't call your mother back.
RAY: I. AM. ON. THE. PHONE. WITH. YOU. RIGHT. NOW.
MOM: I just wish you'd call me back, is all.
RAY: Well, maybe I'll call you sometime!
MOM: Raymond! Did you just sass me?
