Are we gonna kill 'em? YEAH! Are we gonna like it? YEAH!

Bedtime Story Part 2--The Long Journey Home

As Amanda finished brushing her teeth, she reached down to turn off the cold water. But as she tried to turn the faucet off, her hand slipped. The reason for such slippage is unknown, perhaps Katie had greased the cold water knob with hair gel while styling her golden locks with her favorite brand of hair product, Hair Hell Hair Gel, or maybe Amanda was just clumsy enough not to be able to properly shut off a water faucet. Whatever the case, Amanda's hand slipped, and she let out a cry of pain as her fingers banged against the side of the sink, "Dag- freaking- nabit!"
Katie, having successfully turned off both nozzles in the shower without any problems of slipping while doing so, peeked her head out and glared at Amanda standing by the sink sucking on her stinging fingers.
"What the heck is going on out here? I'm trying to take a calm, morning shower without any interruptions, and you keep on shouting out profane words. Please, would you just leave the bathroom so that I could get ready for work? Seriously, this is ridiculous."
Amanda, having been injured in both hand and heart, hung her head, and left the bathroom, resolved never to return again while Katie was showering. Katie, having realized she'd overreacted, resolved to speak to Amanda later that day and make things right. The faucet, having planned earlier that morning to kill both Amanda and Katie for their new found need to greet the day talking and carrying on loudly in a previously quiet and peaceful bathroom, resolved to finished the job that very evening. Smiling evilly to itself, the faucet thought, "Right on schedule. This plan is working out better than I hoped."
Turn in next time to read Part 3 of The Extremely Long Journey Home by Amanda Johnson and Katherine Schnose. €



And now we shall take an in depth and closer look at the art in our home-

Art Piece #1: Untitled (as of yet) by Martha Suddarth

It is a very jovial revisitation of days gone by. One might picture Robin Hood, for instance, popping out of the forest to steal some gold.





Art Piece #2: Untitled (for now) by Juliet Ford

When I look at this picture, I imagine a forest. It is the type of forest with many trees. Or perhaps a path. Overall, I get the sense that Robin Hood could step out from behind a tree trunk and laugh merrily with his band of outlaws as they journey to their secret hideout.




Art Piece #3: Untitled (again) by Jeremy Ford

This piece is not yet finished, but we shall discuss it now anyway.
As I look at the still white mountain slopes, I wonder if Robin Hood ever ventured to a place that had such a beautiful horizon. Maybe an evil rich person is camping in that tent on the road to Nottingham and Robin Hood is going to take all of their gold to use to feed the poor.






Art Piece #4
This picture makes us think of Robin Hood. Though, we are not totally certain why, for there are no trees for him to hide behind, no rich people to steal from, or any gold for him to take and give to the poor. Perhaps, we are doomed to see him in everything. We are tainted from ever seeing art in a non biased way again.




Brief Updates:

A Mystery on the Keyboard-
What is the meaning of this key, € , on Katie's new computer?

Upcoming Events-
There will be a Lost party this Thursday at whatever time it is airing at our apartment. Come if you are invited. You are invited.

Past Events-
Saturday's wedding of Eric and Jones was a great hit. Many people enjoyed it. There was cake. There were no pants. Well, there were some pants, but not had by us. That is all.

I am highly curious about how long this journey shall be. There have been two parts to this epic tale and the heroines have yet to leave the bathroom. My intuition is suggesting "the journey" should be measured in increments of War and Peace.




Keep writing, your public needs you.

That symbol on Katies comptuter is the "Euro" symbol as the $ is for the dollar.

Amanda and Katie said...

ah ha!

Juliet said...

Why does Katie need to say how much something is in Euros? Are her computer and she planning a fun Euro-vacation sometime soon? Will this be incorporated into the story?

On another note: I like this fourth piece of art...but I don't recall ever seeing it in your apartment...
