Ebay Goodies, Triage, and A Floor!

[rolanni]

kinzel has been busy over at ebay again, I see. On offer at the moment, a first edition, signed trade paperback I Dare -- with a bid already in place! -- and a hardcover Partners in Necessity. This one's especially sweet -- not only is this edition worth, in the opinion of one amazon.com used book vendor, a whopping $325, the copy we have on offer has been personalized to Meisha Merlin art director Kevin Murphy. This book also has a bid on it already, so step up and don't be shy.

Both auctions run through June 10.

In other news, I have thrown a Buncha Stuff(tm) out and finally taken the boxes full of last year's tax papers outta here. I have a floor!

Also?

I have 'way too many stuffed animals.

And that's not counting the cats.

Saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End sometime last week -- Thursday? -- and liked it fine. Yes, it was long; yes, it was messy. Yes, I'm sure that, if the writers could go back now, tidy up the draft, and make all three parts internally consistent, it would be Very Much Better. *yawn* I adored that Barbossa got a chance to shine -- Good Ghod! Was Geoffrey Rush having the time of his life, or what?

Vacation's almost over, though when I report to work at the convent on Tuesday it'll be on the summer schedule -- two 7.5 hour days per week. This is a Good Thing, in that the health insurance is covered and also because I'll be plenty busy elsewhere. Got necessary outpatient operation on the schedule for July, sigh. Still gotta figure out how to fit in that whale watch. Got a book to write. Um, eek.

Maybe if I sneak back down to the ocean, nobody'll notice?

For a while?

Hmmm...

I already had a bunch of housecleaning planned for today -- thank you for modeling good behavior for me, even at a distance.

Sorry. Make that two books to write.

For a second I though that you said "Pussies of the Caribbean", and I got a flash of the Pirates movie played by the Puss in Boots of Shrek.

Never take naps. It warps you for *hours*.

Hey, could you do a presentation of this concept to Disney? I think it might make the sequel/crossover charts!

The Pirate Movie

I think the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie have been cut down in length. There was a few spots where the film editor hacked off chunks of the film. This movie is probably better watched on a big screen TV when the "extended" edition DVD is released. Yes I know the movie is already 2hr 45mins long.

Most of the recent blockbuster movies isn't worth going to your local cine-plex to see. Unless it's in the IMAX format. However be warned that IMAX versions of feature length movies takes a toll on you. The audio and visual saturation in an IMAX theatre will cause extreme fatigue several hours afterwards. Still Frank Miller's 300 is breath taking. 50 foot tall Spartan hoplites advancing to battle.
