Conversion

The new Condiment Man story draws ever closer. I’ve been hard at work converting the older stories from pdf to the new cssful layout. In the process, I came across a great Condiment Man quote I had long forgotten in Combo of Death.

I glanced over my shoulder toward the laugh, and saw the maroon vested guardian, known as Movie Guy.

“Could I see your tickets?” he asked, already knowing the answer.

“I’m not going to see a movie. We came in here to fight,” I replied.

So far, no word has come back from the USPTO in regards to knocking the other guy’s CM trademark out of existence. I hope to hear back tomorrow, though I have gotten phone calls from a 320 area code the past two days with no message.

On the MBA front, I had to deal with the KU bureaucracy yesterday and today. It seems a car linked to my name in the KU parking department computer was ticketed sometime between when I picked up my transcript for AMP and now, which resulted in a hold on my account. Two phone calls to two departments cleared it up, so I should have everything I need for the deadline. The hold music for the Registrar is some intense Stuff. There’s this constant beat with a triumphant melody, and every few minutes a man cuts in to talk about how much KU does for kids. “Eight-year-old Billy Doe is training for a 5k marathon because of KU. ‘It makes me feel lazy,’ said Billy’s father.” You should call just to be put on hold for a while.

    i don’t even know if the French/newland story is a story, or just a writing, nor am i sure what the difference would be…
