70 - 'A dispatch from Napoleon ...'; plus, The Murderist!

I like this one. What do you think.

No kid pics tonight. Got a whole pile of scans to scan for later. Two linguistic delights. Belle was playing with Mei Mei, who was playing with her juice straw. She was dangling it from the corner of her mouth. She asked: "Does it look like I'm cigaretting?" (Everything she knows about smoking she learned from old cartoons, I think). Zoë and I were telling a Supersky Heroes story, which took a violent turn, and Zoë asked, excitedly: 'Do you mean there's a murderist loose?!" I think that's the most awesome supervillain name ever. The Murderist.

I had a vision this morning as I was waking up, of the Owl giving the Squid unwanted advice, and receiving the admonition, "Ne sutor ultra noctua." FWIW.

(Reckon that should actually be something more like, "Ne noctua ultra alam." In order to make any kind of sense, I mean.)

Give Squid and Owl another 3,000 years and they will have grown into Jungian archetypes and everyone will be having visions about them, Modesto. You are just an early-adopter.

BTW John, do you know the song "Victorian Squid"? http://www.box.net/shared/7gcfa20xtx
