A long time ago, in a house far, far away…

FLU WARS
Episode II

Although the rebel Maases recently celebrated the destruction of the terrible Death Flu, it is a time of unrest in the house. Unbeknownst to the rebels, Darth Sneezus continued to search for victims. Sending out thousands of germs, he scoured the known galaxy for any trace of rebel weakness.

While returning from a mission to the Planet JobbaInterviewa, Princess Sniffles fell into Darth Sneezus’ evil trap, but before succumbing to a vicious spell of Compacted Sinuses and Rib-Breaking Coughs, she managed to send one last message:

Help me Sudafed PE, You’re my Only Hope.

As a side note, am I the only one who still refers to Star Wars: Episodes 3 thru 5 in the order they were MADE, versus their actual, numerical order? For example, when watching the VH1 special, “When Star Wars Ruled the World” a while back, I made this comment:

Jules: “God. I wish HBO would just show the first three Star Wars already.”

Travis: “What are you talking about? You were just complaining last night about Episode III being on for the five-bazillionth time.”

Jules: “No, I meant the FIRST THREE movies. The ones that DON’T suck.”

Travis: “All I know is, I am NOT buying a single, solitary one of them until Lucas offers them IN ONE SINGLE ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGE, because I’m sick of this re-release, ultimate, special-edition #312 crap.”

Jules: “True. true.”

So, man. Where did the month go? I had all sorts of material I wanted to share with y’all in detail, like:

• Hello. Is there anyone who did NOT see The Police open at the Grammy’s?! Or did not hear that, lord of Sting-ness, THEY’RE GOING ON TOUR?! And coming to Seattle?! Because if not, I’m adding you to my Sting-Watch 2007 spam list. It’s a civic duty.
• Dude! Do you know? Dark Chocolate M&M’s are HERE. Finally! I can eat the rest of the stash I’ve been jealously rationing from the Great Star Wars Dark Chocolate M&M’s Frenzy 2005. During a visit to Seattle that summer, Trav and I found and devoured a bag in a single day - but upon returning to Salt Lake, couldn’t find them anywhere in the entire valley. One day at Target, I came face to face with a wall of M&M deliriousness and bought the entire shelf.
• I’m hunting for a job. Maas Publications is doing well, and I love it and it’ll keep on keeping on. But hey. It just started. So Learning Point #1 is: It’s going to take approximately five hundred thousand hours + 6-12 months to get a solid business with a reliable income. Learning Point #2 is: I need to work with PEOPLE. It’s so damn boring keeping myself company all day long.
• Did I mention The Police Kicked Ass at the Grammy’s?
• Trav and I attended his T-Mobile annual NOC staff par-tay, which was super-swanky and tons of fun. Held at our local Maggiano’s, the theme for the evening was “Rat Pack” all the way - Trav even dressed up in a tux. There was a band, a casino and a bar. I talked to a gal with a wicked back tatoo half the night, and Trav made a KILLING at the poker table. Someone sold me on the idea of a very bright blue cocktail, which turned out to be a very bad idea later. It just was.
• I went to my third Weblogger Meetup, (older readers may recall the Flash Meetup group I mentioned some time ago). I got to get out of the house and talk to real-live people who are so kick-ass, they’ve been linking to me for months even though I’m completely late in returning the favor. This awesome group of Microsoft techies, journalists, entrepeneurs, blog-pioneers, photographers and CSI/Battlestar Galactica/all-around tv compadres, and if you have even the slightest interest in any of those things, you should take a moment to check them out:
  Anita Rowland - Blogger Queen
  Tommy Williams - Microsoftie Extraordianare
  Monica Guzman, Seattle PI Reporter
  Joe Heck - Technical Guru
  Cogito Optimus - Some Seriously Smart Entrepeneurs
• Tommy sent me a link to the Battlestar Gallactica Community Blog, and I think it’s hawesome. (What is Hawesome, you ask? Well, it started here. And then it went here. Now, HAWESOME is everywhere!)
• Oh yeah, and did I mention? That The Police? They are BACK!
