Well, this past Saturday (5/7) was Free Comic Book Day! Unfortunately, we didn't get the huge haul that we did last year. Restrictions were put on how many comics we were allowed to take apiece: Three each.
Ramiro's face when he heard "Only 3 Comics Per Person"Well, naturally Ramiro and I joined forces to optimize our comic intake. We made a planned attack so that we wouldn't end up with any duplicates.
I snagged:
Ramiro grabbed:
There were a couple other comics I was interested in, but I think we did pretty well. And, if we could only get 6 comics total, I think we got the best of the bunch. You can see what ALL of the comics that were available HERE.
Then, since PayPal is SUPER SLOW at transferring money (I was going through the "I have money, but I can't get to it"s), Ramiro and I decided to raid our piggy bank for some food money. And Robert was VERY INTERESTED in what we were doing. So, Ramiro showed him the piggy bank up close... and Robert FLIPPED OUT!! I'm talking full on hisses, claws, bushy tail, standing-up-fur-ridge-on-his-back FREAK OUT! He was SCARED!
I snagged:
- Top Shelf Kids Club (which was Owly, Korgie, Johnny Boo, etc.)
- Bongo Comics Free-for-All 2011 (Simpsons...)
- Disney's Darkwing Duck/Disney's Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers
Ramiro grabbed:
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars/Avatar: The Last Airbender
- Baltimore/Criminal Macabre
- Nancy/Melvin

"Look into my face and know fear," says Mr. Pig
My best guess is that the smell of coins smells similar to blood...and blood tends to freak animals out. Ramiro thought he was just scared of the pig itself. Either way, we hadn't seen Robert that scared of anything since he saw the "ICE CREAM AND CREAM AND CAKE" commercial from Baskin Robbins when he was a baby.
We also joked that "maybe Robert has a fear of success."
Well, NOT ME!
A few of you know that I've been vying for a writing position. It would be a great opportunity and have regular hours and everything.
...and I got it!
Starting Monday, I'll be working from 10am-2pm from Monday-Friday. So don't bug me during those hours. Seriously. If you bug me, I have to clock out...and you will be costing me money...and I will be sore with you... >:( So please, don't chat with me during those hours. I know it will be tempting (especially since I have to be logged into my Chat programs for my job), but please don't. You can have me from 2pm onward. :D
As of now, I can't really talk about who I'm working for or what I'll be doing, but I'm super happy to have a nice steady job.
I'll also be continuing my work with WP Pro Business and some of my other gigs that I've been doing. Because I'm hardcore like that.
For those of you who liked that article I did on traveling with your dog, you might also be interested in this:
It's a profile on the Beagle. I also did profiles for Chihuahuas and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. So keep an eye out for those.

Then, I got so into writing about dogs that I made a Squidoo lens about Wolfgang (my parents' dog):
Wolfgang: A Good Dog
Wolfgang: A Good DogWolfgang is a Keeshond. He's my parents' third Keeshond. Here are some pictures of me with their original Keeshond, Max (and their Afgan Hound, Shekinah):
The Internet loves babies and dogs. Right...?
Anyway, I also created a Squidoo lens on how to raise pinkie mice, but I've been told it's a bit of a downer (Spoiler: I raised the Pinkie into adulthood, but he was not the undying magic mouse of fantasy tales). You can read it if you want.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...that's about it!
See you next week!
