Blurb

Here's something some of the people here may get a kick out of. XD It's a short scene I wrote after watching Bowery Bombshell again: Sach, Slip, and Duke talking, goofing off, and trying to decide which of them will go undercover as Baby Face Morales. I wrote this partially because I wanted to see how these characters might act under circumstances when they're all on good terms with each other. Slip and Duke don't appear in the fims together, and I've never written a scene before with them both interacting with Sach at the same time.

I showed that scene I wrote to Paul, and he got a kick out of it. ^^ I figured he'd enjoy it. He's been hoping for a while that I could write something more humorous with the Boys. I may use that as part of another fic I have some assorted blurbs for. The other blurbs are a lot darker (involving Sach and Duke found out by the mob and being beaten for information), but I'm becoming known for my dramedies. XD; M*A*S*H proved once and for all that a dramedy is highly possible.

Though some people don't agree. In one of my books about The Andy Griffith Show, the author compares it to other well-known comedies, including M*A*S*H. He addresses the fact that they killed off the Colonel Blake character and said that it was an unfunny way out of a casting problem. But he misses the whole point! It wasn't *supposed* to be funny. It was supposed to be dark and dramatic and tragic, because that's the kind of thing that happens in war, and M*A*S*H was not only funny, it was realistic, and it worked. That's why it was so great.

Tomorrow there's a family renuion type thing. Mom doesn't feel well enough to go, and Dad is hoping that I'll go with him. I don't really like those things much, because it seems like in general it's mass confusion and I don't have much to do or many people to talk to anyway. Plus, it'll be outside, during the peak heat hours. Blurgh. But if I go with him, he might take me to Borders on the way home. ^^ Plus, it's been a long time since the two of us have really gone and done anything together. Mom and I hang out by watching movies and verbal RPing, and Dad and I always used to hang out by going on errands and such together, but that hasn't been happening all that much as of late. XD; It's not just because of the moving, though, I don't think. It's been like this for a year or more, with a little journey back to the good old days at Christmastime. There's trips for groceries, of course, but that's not the same as the traipsing all over the county we used to do. Ah, I miss that. Anyway, I'm warming up to the idea of going more and more. I can take my notebook and a Star Wars book, after all. **is still reading that trilogy from Christmas.**
