Spleck: Creyonah #46


I just can't watch It's A Wonderful Life before mid-December.

For me it's the second to last Christmas movie I want to see and the ideal time to watch it is between the 19th and 23rd.

So needless to say I haven't watched it this year or the last three.

I can't remember when I last saw it in fact.

Now that's just me.

Others seem to think it should be played in November.

Seriously CTV?

November 30th for what is no doubt one of the classic Christmas movies of all?

Admittedly it took decades for it to become that classic because it wasn't well received at first.

But it is now.

If you're old enough I suppose.

And I am.

Others will no doubt say Elf, which I like lots but it's no It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol or Miracle on 34th Street.

Fred Claus is sweeter, even with bad casting in light of a certain actor.

Le Sigh.

Seriously CTV?

Though that's not as bad as the network/channel/station that played Miracle on 34th Street in September.

Now that's just wrong.

Play Christmas movies in December.

Not that I won't watch them in November if they are on.

At least the Hallmark kind.

Of course I'm not a programmer so what do I know right?.

I'm just a man with a blog. 

But I'm right aren't I?

Certain Christmas movies should play later than others.

And while I know that it's set at Christmas, I will never see Die Hard as a Christmas movie. It's just an action movie set in December.

Like Iron Man 3 and Batman Returns.

I won't however push this thinking on anyone.

Can I go to bed now?

Am I tired?

I am.

This is me bringing this particular blog post to an end.

Shortly.

Just how many words have I written to this point?

Today that is.

Oh well.

Ho ho ho!

Merry Christmas.

Das Hier #50

Good morning humans. I hate the gravity of your world because it is hard on my back and my back has had enough of it and as a result, I woke up with a pain that that I cannot stand, so I am writing to you from the comfort of my bed. Though being true, because of the pain, there is no comfort but the comfort of escaping awareness through sleep. Hopefully I will find my way to sleep tonight because right now, it feels as though I will not. And you would be sure to read about it here if that was the case if not for one thing, I'm going to be stepping away from the blogging for the coming weeks. At the very least. It could be longer, but it will certainly be for at least three weeks. I know that I won't be missed too much as my small number of readers can attest to. What's going to happen with this blog? Drawings will be posted most days, but I have been in talks with a couple of writers, one alien and one human. Let me know in the comments which writer you...

It is painfully clear to me that I have been away from the words for far too long as I got caught up in the memoriams of humans that have made the pictures that they so love. I don't get their appreciation of these stories, because I find them too long and they often like to make followups. And to that idea I shake my head. Maybe it's odd that I think this as a writer, but it is how I feel. I don't even remember what I was going to write. Was I going to slam Dalton for calling me a quitter if I withdrew from the collective? He certainly deserves it, not that I hate him, but he was certainly an ass when he was dissing me for wanting the collective to succeed. But that was more than a half hour ago and that was too long for me to hold onto the thought that I had then. So I begin again.  Thoad stared in the sky, his mouth agape as the speed trail left behind by Merithee, remained vivid when she'd passed by more than five mi...

Wow, how is it so much brighter here than it was when I took the photo, with the lights or flash? Ugh. The science of nature am I right? I like this drawing a lot. Well, I'm not crazy about the pencil's beak, but apart from that, he's a good pencil and I will continue to draw them. Ideally with more colour choices  than the four that I currently have. But for now, however long now lasts, four will have to do. Spleck II will graduate past the black paper so that I have more choices. As for the little guy with his very own flag, he's a Pobadyd and all good Pobadyds have their own flags. Luckily for Poeth, there are many ways for a Pobaddyd to earn themselves a flag becuase there's really only one thing that Poeth is good at, since he's so small and easily beaten in all the physical ways that a Pobadyd can earn their flag. He's a brilliant public speaker and he saved a Pobadyd village with the finest oration...
