Bittersweet Nothings

...lookit here! Another entry and hardly two weeks in the 'tween! What? Do I have anything new to report...? Well, no... not really...

Wait, how about this: I'm officially a 'comics artist' since our friends over at Affable Comics have seen fit to include several of my scribbles in their Affable Comics - News page. Huzzah, huzzah! Break out the bubbly!

So, if I'm killed in a fiery crash tomorrow- a long-running, darkly humourous comment of my own creation, now somewhat less humourous since the near-head-on collision a few months back! -my friends in mourning can talk amongst themselves, 'You know Wes finally has some comic art published?' 'Really, that hack?!?' Hey! Who said that!?!?! Probably Chuck Sacco or Rick Holtry!

Speaking of that happenin' traffic event: I'm suffering stoically- okay, not so stoically; everybody knows men have a lower pain threshold than women, right? -all week this week with twisting, burning pains radiating down one lower limb accompanied by numbness and general malaise and limited mobility. Ain't that a happifying news item? Given the utter lack of alternative events as a specific causative factor, I'd have to cite that sorry happenstance as the penultimate and singular origin of my present discomfiture.

Of course, given the willingness of other parties to the event to stand up in open court and publicly proclaim claims opposite my own unyielding and certain purview- 'That light was yellow, Your Honor. Period.' BANG! 'Guilty, pay fines and go away, citizen. Next.' -I'm left with no recourse but to seek medical assistance and foot the bill for who knows how many moons hence.

I'm sure I'll stop moaning about it ere long. But right now it sticks in my craw. It's the proverbial 'clog in my muffin'. The fly in my ointment. Where's Robert Vaughan when ya need him, I ask ya?!?

(In case you don't get that near or far, no less a personage than Robert Vaughan, erstwhile Man From U.N.C.L.E., serves as a pitchman for attorney services on the TV hereabouts...)

Hey, you know what's a funny word? 'Unguent'. Ung-YOO-int. What does that mean? Is that the same as 'ointment'?, I wonder... Where's my dictionary? No, not the little one, the BIG one... Ouch! My back!!!

"Ah'll be back...!" Later.
