sad about Bob
September 06, 2005, 5:45 P.M.
I am positively giddy with the possibilities awaiting me tonight, with Spouse out of my hair for the first time since early July. I want to do everything, and all at once.
But first things first. I want to get my �To Do� done and out of the way so I can relax and play a little. And one of the things that will be going back on to the regular routine list is posting. Now that the time thief is back to second shift, I should be able to show up here more regularly again. And I re-discovered another thing that I hate about him being on second shift. He expects to be bothering me every day, calling me every day at two o�clock, as he drives to work. And as I�m trying to work. Arrggh!
I have tried several times to post something about the hurricane�but every time I try, something weird happens that prevents me. Technical glitch, personal emergency, professional emergency�I end up without a post. So I�ve decided to just keep all my thoughts and feelings on this particular subject away from my diary. I have thoughts, I have feelings, I have actions�but they won�t be recorded here. I got the voodoo juju heebie-jeebies from all the times it went wrong.
Bob Denver�January 9th, 1935 to September 2, 2005
Wow. Gilligan. Maynard G. Krebs. Choo-Choo in �The Sweet Ride�, with Tony Franciosa and my old pash Michael Sarrazin. Willie, in that old Jim Hutton favorite of mine, �Who�s Minding The Mint.� (a whole lot of people from that one are gone now�) Dud Wash, On �The Andy Griffith Show�. Junior, from �The Far Out Space Nuts�. Gone. Real gone, daddy-o�
I�m reading �Make Love�* (*The Bruce Campbell Way�), by reasonably well-known B-movie god, Bruce Campbell. And I�m trying to get my brain around his concept, which is that this is a novel. About himself�a real person. And other characters in this book include Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, Mike Nichols, and Colin Powell. Also real people. But the situations are�fiction. So what the heck is this book?I came to the conclusion that it is fanfic. By Bruce Campbell. About himself.
So this book is very weird. And hard to read, thanks to the page-padding, poster-sized font used. And it�s fanfic with photoshopped illustrations! Just very, very bizarre�not particularly well-written, but kind of hard to put down just the same. Mainly because I�m trying to figure out how this got published. Just to cash in on the cult-following, I guess.
