BATCAVE 7: BATT E

The Bat Dame thinks there's a need in the community to have a place, besides SubCare, where writers can go to moan and whine in the darkness. A glum place. A place to feel subdued, humbled-by-the-process, hopeless (not that SHE feels this way).

So lower yourselves to the deepest, ugliest pits. Only then can you be uplifted to superhero status (aka published). For darkness can't exist without light, hunger without satiation, sadness without joy, despair without hope.

Here is the place for the equal and opposite reaction. 

To new bats, we understand the cave is a confuzzling place. Bats speak a
furrin language, say and do the opposite of what they mean - they
unwelcome new folk, unhug each other )))like this((( and sound as if
they are completely crazy. Witch they are.

Howsomever, it's a good kind of crazy. The kind that supports and helps
other bats through the bad times, and razzes them through the good
times. Bleeds and prays for hurting bats, cries with sad bats, and
suitably chastises happy bats. Got all that?

Posting smilies, cleaning the cave and letting in sun is against the
spirit and purpose of the cave. We need dark. We need gloom. We can't
get it anywhere else. Nor can we beech and moan anywhere else. This is
our cave-from-home.

So make yourself at cave here, beech and moan about your writing and
your life with the rest of us, and before you know it, you'll wonder how
you got along without bats. Or we got along without you.

All unclear now? Ungood. Fwap in and pull up a stalactite.

I git the bronze medal.  Hate the cavename, mebbe this name indicates that we's all overflowing with trash?  *glances 'round the Aimcave*  Well, seems to be true so far.

Saw fireworks with HotWheels and his famdambly, had a rotten time.  Now guano to bed.  Crappy 4th, everybatty, and nitol.

5th on the 4th

If it's still the 4th in Merica. Sounds like youse all having a
crappy time. Keep it up., I don't dismember this name being on any
list, but then I don't dismember much these days. Ole Widder's Brain,
or that's my hexcuse. Not that I don't think it's a terribubble name
and we should keep it. Nope. But should Satire be in bidness for
herself?

Went to the zoo today. Before I went, I rioted a 2,000
werd shorn story. Who said that could happen? And since I was tarred
before I went, the zoo was packed. I got real close to the tigger cuz
the keeper had a hurty back and I had to pass him the meet to feed
tigger. Birani isn't a handsome tigger neither and it wasn't a thrill
to be that close to him. Did the same dooty at the brown bears. They is
huge critters and I don't lub them to bits.

No ideer

Guanna, it means there are caves named Batt A, B, C, and D out there
somewhere. Or else it's getting late in Oz and I's a tarred bat from
rioting and tigger feeding, so not making any sense. Very cave-E (get it?)

ValkyriE

Bat-E Comes From

I think this cave name might have been inspired by the gnu movie 'Wall-E', about the little trash compacting robot who finds lurve. Which is a movie I don't really want to see (I do but I think Aimless wants to see something else)

Off to daddy-bat duty. Hopefully enough peoples will be on the roads for daddy-bat to gripe. I have to give him something to do.

Okay, I didn't know what the film was about but I was hoping it was something dark and twisted as befits the cave. However, I think we've decided not to go dark and twisted cuz sometimes it visits dark and twisted things upon us. So this cave name means we'll all eat garbage and fall in love.

I just made a chocorat moose pie. Because I have a moose instead of a muse, my moose is verra upset wiff me for making a pie outta one its relatives. Stoopid moose went on strike so I'm messing around instead of working.

I think I'll watch a DVD and see if the moose will get distracted enough to let me catch it and tie it to the compooter.

It appears the noose of my moose has paralyzed the thread. I have placed the keed thriller krown on my moose's head and it's quite fetching, I must say.

Now, while the moose is preening, I shall attempt to capture it, for it has remained elusive thus far.

Yep, pretty sure that's after the movie that truly sucked so much guano I've seen it twice.  Too guano-e to be fully hated in one sitting, doncha know.  Would hate to see it again, Missmell, but mebbe 3 movies in one day is too much?

Exercised my lazy this moaning by staying asleep until 10am, then refusing to get up for anudder hour.  Now I's guano eat sumthin and mebbe read a book.  That lazy hasn't been exercised for a while, so it needs a solid work-out today to get it back into shape.  Far too much busy guano on 'round here and crowding out the lazy time.

Interesting

I tried the RSS feed on this thread, and it worked I guess.  I've never used that before.  It had all the posts listed in reverse chronoligical order (don't you love how bad spelling is okay in the cave; don't have to hit the backspace), and I clicked on the one chrlonoligically following my last post, and it went directly there.  the true test is to see if this works once we have multiple pages.  however, once we have 100 posts, will I really want a listing going on at that point?  I'll try it for one cave and let bats know if it's dysfumctional or whawt.

I'm assuming the dude stopped because he was also laughing too hard to drive?

Yes, we are home. No, the kids did not kill each other...howsomever we did have to kill several ticks. (shudder) Have I mentioned how much I truly hate ticks? I think they saw us yankees coming and decided to head north. Must be a southern conspiracy to rise again.

Took gatorlings to see WALL-E today. Didn't laugh one little bit.

Wish I could say I'd exercised my lazy today, but it didn't werk out
as planned. I started doing tax drek for the late, unlamented coughee
shop and found I doesn't have a vital bit of paper from the settlement.
Will this wretched place never be gone?

 Checked out the new
Lurid webbie. First up came the squizzy bluey background, reminding me
of those funny images you has to squint at to see an image buried
there. Then the rest of the site came up before I could start
squinting. Doncha think it's mean of Lurid to say that sPam will be
banned and deleted? I'd protest if I wuz sPam. This is blatant
decriminalization.

I've got a monk's schedule right now. I'm up at 3 am and go to sleep around 8pm. I'm switching from nights to days, so only have to stay up a couple more hours and I'd be considered normal. However, I've been swimming and yesterday I did a really long and vigorous workout so I was exhausted and couldn't push it past 8pm. Too tarred.

I want gills. Then I could live in the water. It would make me happy.

Movies

Catty, Aimless and I saw 'Hancock' and Aimless said the same thing you did about the ending. It did suck pond-water but I think it was because of two things, 1) this movie was probably written by committee so that would account for a few things that didn't add up for me, and 2) franchise.

Now 'Get Smart' (which we also saw), was way too dang funny. I lurved the tv show and the movie was funny as all get out. I really wanted to see more Alan Arkin on screen though- that guy is such a cranky-butt.

And I've already read the Sunday paper, been to the grossery store, and will now commence to sit on my behind and drink coffee.

Grossery Store

This morning when I was in the grossery store I got to the check out and the young woman checking me out was grooving along to the song playing on the PA system- "Come As You Are" by Nirvana. So as we're packing up my grosseries I comment that I remember when that song came out and she actually went "No way?".

I told her I was a senior in high school when that song came out and she made an interesting comment about how she wished that things now were like they were back then. I don't know about that time (I really hated high school and couldn't wait to get out) but it was intersting exchange.

Or as my daddy-bat said to me a few days ago- 'Ha ha, your music and stuff is now getting old.'

I's already been up, cleaned out a big flower bed of 3 giant trash bags worth of leaves, planted flowers, and made a trip to HomegonedePot.

Didn't sleep much last night. Too used to living in the country. Can't handle city stuff with all the barking dogs. And I keep my bedroom at 68 at night. Dd keeps her house at 75. Sweat city.

A few more hours of werk and I kin go home to do my own werk.

Opted out of church today.  What am I doing instead?  Watching Barbie Mermaidia with Dizzy.  Grah.  Trying to work on WIPs.  Grah.  And my dammmm tooth hurts.  Is this normal?  It started throbbing again, so I'm wondering if it is infected.

So not laughing @ DisGracie being forced to watch Barbie flix. I'm also not praising the higher powers above that they didn't come up with that idear when my oldest two gatorgirls were into Barbie. Dog, I went through enough heck just reading them Barbie books.

Yes, gg3 still likes Barbie...but her big sisters' comments on the whole pinktobismal thing make it so she won't ask for those movies too often.

sPam would never make it in

sPam would never make it in my cave. We keep it set to 80 or 82. Don't wanna pay a huge hellectric bill, and we's used to it and actually verra uncomfortable.

Yes, the ending to Hancock sucked pondwater. I still don't think they's planning see-quells, tho. Tied up all the threads too neatly for that IMO. Of course, I's never opposed to more Will Smith. Dude is HOT.

Took the Aimpests to the dog park this moaning and had no fun at all. Neither pooper ran around like crazy and wore themselves out. </cavespeak> On the way home, I passed this scraggly little dog trotting down the pavement, just looking flocking pitiful, and managed to catch him. WAY too hot in San Antonio for any aminal to be outside without shade and water, and I could tell this little guy had been out for days. He was shy but when I finally got him in the car (and in the A/C), he just lay right down and fell asleep almost instantly. Poor little guy was exhausted.

Well, he rode in the car just fine and didn't even blink at Simi and Bella, so I called Missmell and asked her to check if the Humane Society was open today. They were open only for adoptions but I decided to take him there anyway. (They only take pet surrenders at certain times on certain days, I'm sure due to overcrowding, and I purposefully didn't call first because it's harder to say no to someone who's already there!) Anyway, they said they make exceptions for rescues as long as they're not ill, then tested him for heartworms, he came out negative, so they took him in. He's dehydrated and skinny and has a bad sunburn (he had super-short white hair and white skin so I guess the Texazz sun burned him up, poor baby), but now he's got a place that will help him recover and a new chance for a home with people who won't dump him as soon as he becomes a nuisance. (NMNursence) <cavespeak> Don't bother fwapping that he gets a nice gnu home soon cuz I don't care a bit. He were a horrible oogly doggy anyways and I most certainly did NOT try to give him to Missmell, no matter what she sez.

And now to go see Wall-e yet again, this time with Missmell. She had to twist my wing to get me to go with her. Meanie.
