Kimber An is Pestered by Brandon



In the Protagonists' Cafe deep inside Kimber An's twisted imagination, she's tapping away on her groovy new mini-laptop with Brandon, a minor character from CRUSHED, looking over her shoulder.
.
"Hey!"  Brandon points at the screen.  "You just deleted the cafeteria scene!  I was really good in that one!"
.
Kimber An releases a martyr's sigh.  "It's not essential to the story and you're not the Hero."
.
"But, I'm cute!  The Goth Girls called me 'dangerously adorable."
.
Kimber An throws up her hands, which kinda hurts 'cause she's got tendonitis.  "I promised you a sequel!  Now, go away!"
.
Brandon folds her arms.  "Only if you leave in the part with me pulling the brush-guard off the Villain's truck to distract him so the Heroine can get away."
.
Kimber An groans.  "Fine.  Now, go play Nintendo or something."  She watches smirk a little and amble away to see what Adrian, the Hero's doing.  "Good grief."  And she starts tapping on her keyboard again.

Not Really Filmed in Alaska

.

Did you know most films set in Alaska are not actually filmed here?  It's true.  They've been shot everywhere from California to Maine.  Northern Exposure, one of my all-time favorite television programs, was filmed in Washington state.  Some of the inaccuracies are laughable, but the storytelling was still great.

Dinosaurs in Alaska


I know it's typical to think of dinoaurs in warmer locations, but, actually, Alaska had quite a few long time ago.  Here's a link-   http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=11467127  You'll find a video there too.

Pinky and the Brain

Laugh a little!  There's nothing like the ridiculous to lift your mood.  Here's 'Pinky and the Brain, Star Wars Style.'

Come to think of it, my two middle children bear a striking resemblance to Pinky and the Brain too.  Hmmm...
