Ayers Rock with guitar and pandas–these are the ingredients for another wild Flash animation from RatherGood.com, the team who also gave us Gay Bar kittens.
Email has started trickling up from down under, where Mickey is enjoying green Tasmania before heading north to the wide Australian mainland. I was eager to post some of her wild wildlife stories (platypus ponds!) Then I realized–she might want to blog them herself when she gets back.
Email! I love it!
Where was email in 1973? The day after our wedding, Frank left for a three-week summer school in Sicily–and the first paleblue air letter didn’t arrive until he’d been gone a whole week.
Let me spell that out for you:
*WHOLE*
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!
But I still have all Frank’s low-tech letters, thirty years later. Meanwhile, our high-tech early memories, Super8 film of Mickey learning to walk and talk, have been declared obsolete over and over again. First, we were supposed to get them converted to VHS tape. Then, we were supposed to get the VHS converted to DVDs. Now HDTV is in the offing and who knows what the next format will be.
Email. I love it not least because I can print it out and then it is *mine*.

Oh Betsy, thank you for the heads-up on Joel Veitch’s newest! I figured he was still too busy with VH1 or something to do any more of these. Mango Biscuits was great!

Thanks, Elayne. And, in unrelated sillyness, I found a funny animated gif of a kitten threatening a cat with karate moves, but it’s a whole Meg, be warned if you click to see it:
