Well, you see, I had a birthday, and my Mom came to visit and we did all this fun stuff, and then I had to work a lot because Annette and Deirdre were at trade shows buying new stuff for the store, and then...I really have no excuse. I didn't realize just how hard maintaining this blog would be! And maybe that's poor grammar, but it is 1:42 AM, and I am still not over tonight's episode of the Biggest Loser. (I mean, my GOD! HOW IN THE WORLD DID MANDI GAIN 2 POUNDS??? I've never really liked Mandi because she cries all the time, but I have to say that I was very impressed with the way she sacrificed herself for her sister. It was incredibly inspiring. Of course, the whole show is inspiring, what with Mike giving up the year supply of groceries he won to Aubrey who has a bushel of children and used to need food stamps to feed them. Aubrey is, of course, Mandi's sister, and she always puts others ahead of herself. So much so, that she asked to be voted off this week in place of her sister and had worked out a plan to make this happen, and thought that Mandi was down with the plan, and then Mandi turned around and said, "Let me act like the big sister for once" and threw herself on the sword, and made me start bawling like a baby. Sorry. Tangent. But you can see that it is on my mind still, which is why I'm rambling on and not getting to the point.)
At the end of the day, I haven't finished the comic-con post, but I do have a new video for you instead. It's another Flash video using the song Accelerate by REM. Enjoy. (Oh, and I've posted the lyrics at the bottom, in case you are curious.)
Jules
Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake
Where is
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future
Upside-down and hesitate.
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
Accelerate.
The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down,
Go.
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.
The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete.
