Good Ole Nicholas Cage

The first official day of my book launch on Kickstarter was a success. By the end of Friday, I had received 32.5% of my total goal: laurasbook.com. An unexpected beginning.

Another plus: laptop returned early from the computer hospital. I was back in business.

I had also signed on for the trip to Minnesota next week with Mom and Carrie.

Keepin’ busy.

“Hi, bud!”

Puck actually pauses until the runway’s unpopulated before he gets a running start down the school hallway. Cleared for take-off.

Thump, thump, thump, thump – BOOM!

I love it.

Before Puck fell asleep that night, he provided some critical Terraria information for me to pass on to Oxbear for the evening.

“TELL DAD THAT ‘PUCK MADE PURPLE WATER IN THE JUNGLE BUT HE FORGOT TO BRING JARS!’”

After Rose provided us with the book title for some future Amish romance novel – “The Ravished Radish” – from about 8:15 to 10:15, we laughed it up over the remake – yes, remake – of “Left Behind” staring movie-night favorite: Nicholas Cage.

Trader Joe’s homemade pizza and Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups, including homemade carbonated organic lemonade from Carrie. But I think we stopped paying attention to most of the snacks when the movie started. So distracted by the amazing awfulness. What are good movie nights for after all?

This also provided us the perfect opportunity to discuss thoughts on ideal places to be raptured.

“I would prefer to vaporize in the shower. And only my shoes would be left.”

“What … that’s how you shower?”

“If Francis was raptured in the bathroom, there would be magazines dropped in the toilet.”

“Cheeseburgers.”

Granted, I guess most Presbyterians don’t believe in the rapture, anyway. But it does provide for some interesting Friday night entertainment.
