BRAZILIAN LIBRARIES.

Little piece I did a few years ago for fun. A community library in Brazil contacted me recently about using it as a poster for their facility and...sent it off today! Having conquered dozens of other continents with my arts weaponry, it felt good to know that South America has finally noticed me.

Hoping for an offer from Brazil's Ministry of Tourism to cover the Summer Olympics. I art very fast. Fingers crossed.

AND GO TO THE LIBRARIES THIS SUMMER; ESPECIALLY THE FORT VANCOUVER ONES, ESPECIALLY WASHOUGAL COMMUNITY LIBRARY!!!! They have awesome summer programs, awesome people working there, and I think they even have some books you can rent for reasonable rates, in case you still need to find a copy of Girl on the Train.

AND THE SKY WAS BLUE.

Wonder Woman, Theft, and My Ban on British Accents

Becca thinks it's hilarious to converse in a British accent. 

I have told that it is not. Nobody thinks it is humorous, especially today. Nobody.

Thank you ahead of time for your silence. A jolly good Independence Day, everyone.

  C'est une journée sanglante bonne, j'ose dire. Jolly good. Jolly good. 
  J'adore être en vacances avec vous. Vous êtes un mec plutôt fringant, mon cher. Oh mince alors ! Heureux suite;).

  Wendy Meier I wish I had the nerve to do that. Maybe I'll try it with the small fry one day when no one else is around (since he might not notice). So far I've only braved an accent when reading story books to him.

  Joseph Long I am mad at so many of you now that I've lost count. But I'll be the big person here and wish you a jolly good 4th anyway. Enjoy your fish and chips.

  Ghazala Osman Long Actually, fish & chips was a dish brought to Britain by Portuguese cod fisherman. . . Or so I heard on one of the many PBS programs to which I'm addicted.

I thought it was going to be a good day, until I went to pour myself a cuppa joe and realised my Wonder Woman mug was missing.

There is only one thing* that I demand out of every day, and that is that I start it off with a good cup of coffee IN MY WONDER WOMAN MUG. No substitutions. And now that demand, that tiny little joy that is probably the only good thing in my life...was yanked away. 

Thanks Leanna Long. I hope you're pleased with yourself. Farewell to what was, until ten minutes ago, destined to be a fantastic day. 

Happy Fourth Day of July, U. S. A., France, and Britain.

*one of many things
