  BRAND NEW POST! I am ashamed and embarrassed to have let my blog go for TWENTY days. That is inexcusable. I have decided to take the pressure to come up with universally hilarious material of unsurpassed wit off myself and revert to a more classic blog comprised of a record of the banality of my life as WELL as any genius that happens to strike me. Get this: You park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. Now, pretend I'm staring at you as you avoid my eyes uncomfortably. Xmas was great. The first half was spent being showered with gifts at the Scharer house and the second half was spent relaxing under great pressure and stress at my Dad's house.
Katie's brother and his fiance are in the states (she's English) and staying with her family and that, plus myself, caused Katie's parents to go wonderfully overboard on the Xmas celebration. I got a ton of gifts, among them a new VCR to play "Crossroads" with Ralph Macchio on. Katie and I got a bunch of new dishes that we picked out to replace my plastic McDonald's plate that shows that carnivorous clown making fun of the monkeys at the zoo. Katie's mom, Debra, got me a gift certificate for the Hatterdashery (HAHA! Such a witty name and I hate saying it!
) which was great since I've had my eye on a keen beret for quite some time now. Either that or a colorful jester hat that turns from mildly amusing and repugnant to entirely inappropriate within minutes. THE BIG NEWS: Andrew and I are writing an 80s movie entitled "Low to the Net" (think "Rocky") about Ping-Pong. We are neck deep in script writing and Andrew is composing the theme song as we speak. (I live my life like a thief in the night! ) Our friends Tim and Carrie have a brand-new video camera they are going to let us use and I am ecstatic about that. We'll be able to hook the camera up their new computer and edit footage, dub music and sound-effects, add wipes, and generally make this movie greater than anything this world has ever seen.
This is a first for me as all the movies Layne, Chad, and I made in High School featured impromptu scripts and weren't what you'd call plot-heavy. We're taking our time with this project and we'll be able to burn it to DVD, so expect a copy once we're done. P.S. The cats are doing fantastic. Bojee isn't fat, but she's noticably heavier than Monkey. Monkey drags her favorite toy, a small, plush monkey filled with catnip, around the house in her mouth.
She also likes to get into the bathtub or the sink and scratch. I don't know why and I'm thankful she's not looking to take a crap, so it's funny for now.
