Broken Saturday and Trading Spouses
Jul. 1st, 2006 11:34 pmYou now how it is? You FINALLY get some dough in, and things start breaking. Don't get me wrong--I'm GRATEFUL the stuff waited until there was money, but geez louise!
Tire on car--could've flatted at any number of places, but happened to just go flubdlubflubfludud at a long wait for a light.
Scanner--finally got sick of the FOUR YEARS of headaches that have been a main feature of the Evil Visioneer Scanner and replaced it with an all-in-one. Not choice #1, but it was in the budget and does free up a USB port, and King gets my "old" printer.
King had a super-bad day. EVERYONE did, but it's all so calm now.
I have gotten emails from two different people now about the show Trading Spouses is looking for a comics pro for the show. The dangle is $50,000., which would be the biggest payday for ten days' work most cartoonists have ever seen. (Most pencillers barely make that, a writer with four titles can totally clean up, though.)
I've been asked to send in a video after being interviewed by two people from the company that makes TS. I have a baaaad feeling. King's guess at the substitute family would be beautiful Conservatives that would make me look enormous, ugly and dumb (the first two would be easy, the third impossible without having me redubbed with chimp sounds by Frank Welker), and he gets a wife who tries to get him to cheat--which seems like three fears and a fantasy.
We'd probably get the trip to L.A. for another interview. That's almost a given, with my bad girl rep in comics. I see being on the show as extremely unlikely, given my lack of photogenic qualities on video, and Boy being special needs.
But MAN, FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
