I'm dropping the current Day 29 attempt, at least for now. I've changed where I start. I've changed viewpoint characters. I've tried multiple viewpoint characters. I've tried utterly ignoring any semblance of a drabble word limit. I'm going to stick this one away. Let it ferment for a while and hope whenever I pull it out again that it works better.

I think I have at least decided on a new idea to try for on this one.

This a Flashfic based on a prompt from [personal profile] ravenswept's 30 Days of Flash Fiction Meme

My 30 Days of Flashfic Index Page

Day 29 - Write a scene about a [person] and their [animal]

Working title: Girl and Fox

Setting: An unexpected trip back to Tanya's universe. And unlike the two other ideas I had for this one, this isn't a depressing scene. Heh, and I can't write one to this prompt without making it at least slightly a furry story.

Original working title for the story under the cut: Not the Harlan Ellison Story )

Giffords returns to House for debt vote

Gabrielle Giffords missed seven months of work after being shot in the head in a failed assassination attempt (sadly six others did die), but she made it in to give her vote on the debt bill. I am not from Giffords' district, but as and Arizonan I like what I've heard about her.

I find myself wanting a rule that says that members of Congress must inform their constituents of any votes they missed along with the reason for which they missed it. I suspect most of the reasons would fall well short of, "I was undertaking physical rehabilitation after surviving a gunshot to the head." I'll cut off anything else I have to say here before I ruin the moment with ranting about both parties.

Ran across a fun new comic online. Well, new for me, it's actually been going two years now. It's called Atomic Laundromat as follows David, the non-super powered son of one of the greatest heroes of recent history and a former despotic empress (they become trapped in a pocket universe for several months during a battle, and upon emerging David's grandfather told his father, "You got my daughter pregnant? You're either marrying her or dying."). He's not upset to be the sole unpowered child of the family, true heroism comes from within after all, not from powers or a cape. And besides, someone has to be there to clean the costumes of the super-powered.

As the title suggests, a fair amount of the comic takes place in David's atomic powered laundromat. Where he is aided by his transforming robot (made from a washing machine of course). There's the love interest, who has no super powers (though she wants them very much) unless maybe you count super-lawyering. A powerful psychic who asks for a job at the laundromat. The duck that was part a bartered payment before David stopped accepting those.

Recent storylines include his younger sister's Sweet 16 birthday party (Who as a the child who is visibly showing alien heritage has been chosen as the heir to her mother's throne) and his father's facing a trial.

Oh. I gave two titles up there, didn't I? This comic is available in English as Atomic Laundromat and in Spanish as Super Lavandería.

Atomic Laundromat updating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Super Lavandería actualizado lunes, miercoles, y viernes

Which is handy for someone who's trying to learn Spanish on their own. :) (And it's released under a creative commons license that would even allow potentially sharing any graphical flashcards made from it so long as they were offered on the same terms and had proper attribution)
