Good lord!
It never stops! The constant work, I mean.
The trade paper edition of Freak Parade is now available, gang! It still won't be in book stores until mid to late July, where the book will also probably be cheaper. However, if you want to buy it now direct from LULU, you won't have to pay any shipping charges. You can view and decide at this link here.
The hard cover edition of Freak Parade is almost ready. Meanwhile, the audio edition is underway... so pretty soon it'll be podcasted right into your ear drums!
We did take time out yesterday afternoon to go see Shrek in 3D IMAX and that was fun. (My favorite Shrek is still #2, though. I love that one.) When the movie was over and we took off our 3D glasses, I looked around myself and realized it was really just yesterday that I was still living in NYC, still married to Wayne and we had gone up the block to the movie theater on Broadway to see the first Shrek. That was 10 years ago now. Where does the freakin' time go, gang?? In fact, Wayne's birthday was Tuesday. He turned 56. What the heck is that all about? When we first started dating (which feels like it was, you know, like, this morning) he was 37. (Luckily, when we first started dating, I was only about 2, so I'm not really getting very old yet.)
Anyway.
The good folks at Amazon.com were kind enough to inform me yesterday that my very own personal copy of the Alice in Wonderland DVD has been shipped. Yay! (That's another guy who makes me feel stupidly old. [Meaning Johnny Depp] I wish he'd slow down a little bit. Then maybe I wouldn't age so fucking fast right along with him.) Anyway. When I was a little girl, the cartoon production duo, Hanna Barbera, produced a musical version of "Alice" for TV. My father gave me the record album of that show and I played it until, I don't know, I graduated high school or something insane like that. (Perhaps I exaggerate, but it was a really long time...) BTW, here is a photo of the album cover, although this isn't my copy:
I used to love that album and I had every single note, word, what have you, to that record memorized. And I still remember all the songs. For some reason, while I was thinking about this the other day, it occurred to me that Johnny Depp has been to both Neverland and Wonderland. (I know, I am probably about the 7 zillionth person to realize this, but for some reason, it only just recently occurred to me.) And the Original Broadway Cast recording of Peter Pan (the one starring Mary Martin) was another album I played probably every single day of my life from 1964 to 2003. (Okay, now I know for sure I'm exaggerating, but you get the drift, I'm sure.) So I guess I was just destined to live in a world saturated somehow with Johnny Depp. I find this very ironic and not in a good way. Frankly, it makes me really, really nuts. But what are you going to do about something like that? Reconstruct all of reality? Me thinks not.
Oh well, onward. In the next life, it'll be some other celluloid god filling my world with irony, I'm sure.
Tonight we're having a little cookout here with mom. Here's hoping the gorgeous weather holds. But this means that I need to stop working here at the laptop and get this bonnie little house cleaned! So I'm gonna scoot. But thanks for visiting and check out Freak Parade if you don't mind. I would so appreciate it! Have a good Thursday wherever it finds you! See ya, gang.
