Available: One writer. Slightly used. Warranty still good. Greying but no significant exterior dings, scratches, dents, or cracks. Mercurial movie lover and unabashed nerd (genuine, not a faux Lisa Loeb glasses-wearing cool-because-it’s-trendy poseur) with science fiction and creature feature tendencies. Proficient in DaVinci Resolve, Final Draft, and Affinity Photo. Comes equipped with a subversive and wicked sense of humor. Able to subsist solely on NutriBullet smoothies, grilled chicken, rice and beans, and ginger tea. Will perform stupid human tricks for bacon double cheeseburgers and Guinness. Optional accessories include three rotating personalities (one of whom is rumored–but not yet confirmed–to have defeated a Dalek in hand-to-hand combat and thereby is in line to become the Fourteenth Doctor). If writers are your thing, you’ll like the cut of this one’s jib.
*gasp* those Daleks are hard to beat!

I’m glad you’re eating healthier now. I’m not sure about the tricks though. I think Vintage Writer would’ve been a more suitable title. Now don’t smirk and roll your eyes. A few sarcastic punches will do. Good one. 🙂

Always curious about my dreams and where bits of information come from. I had a dream with one of The Doctors in it. I think that bit filtered in from the Dr. Who pieces in here, lol.

Lucky man. I never had Doctor Who, or any other sci-fi references pop up in any of the dreams I remember. I was Green Lantern in one, though, and got eaten by a giant meatball in another, but that was when I was much younger.

Scary thought – a hundred years ago, when they were relevant, Lisa and Dweezil and were on my artist relations list. There’s an old saying about scholarship and depth trumping fads and trendspeak. I say that because Herbie Hancock was on that list as well. Yin and yang. I’m meeting a friend for lunch. Bacon cheeseburgers and Negra Modelo. Guinness has to be later in the day.

Well, those young thoroghbreds lack the wisdom and jadedness of an old timer. At least the old nag is useful when two pieces of machinery need reattaching.

Sure, I’ll be President of Old Nag’s Fan Club. Since we’re working with a skeleton crew, instead of going through an elaborate election, I appoint you to be the VP of Marketing. Your first task is to create a blog and social media accounts to gain a following.

Um, I’m afraid I don’t know anything about those newfangled social media accounts, all those Tickety-Toks, Snappy-Chats, and Tweetymabobs. Are they anything like a rexograph fan ‘zine? Because I am absolutely ace at that! Or if that isn’t in line with your vision, we could always go with the telegraph or smoke signals. I’m a little rusty at both but I believe I could pull either off in a pinch. Let me know.

Now you’ve got me thinking “Must…have…cheeseburgers…” in a James T. Kirk voice… 😀 Seriously, anything with cheeseburgers, count me in (especially if they have lots of jalapenos on ’em). Your gilded wit is effortless, good sir. This really brightened up my night. 🙂

Guinness, bacon double cheeseburgers, and pizza are my weaknesses and they’re on the forbidden food list and are going to put me in an early grave because although I do not indulge as much anymore, I cannot stay away completely. As a carnivore, there are only so many damned salads you can eat before you go mental. Cheers for the kind words!
