I feel bad for Pete because he has certainly gone through a lot, but I also feel bad Wayne. I agree that he's been misbehaving and acting like a total jerk lately, but we ought to remember that he's got AIDS. I've never suffered from any fatal disease, so I can't even imagine what it is like to live with something like that. But as Ennis would put it, it must hurt like a sumbitch, especially for someone as young as Wayne is. It must be very hard for him to go on living knowing he has no real future to look forward to. IMO all this bitterness towards Pete clearly shows how much Wayne is hurting, and how shallowly his pain lays beneath his cheerful attitude, calling himself Typhoid Mary, being naughty and having fun at the bar.

for everybody who doesn't yet know how much I love Milli for being such a talented fan artist:  here is the posting I made on BBM_Phoenix archive for the "Laramie Saga", using Milli's lovely cover art for the collected works!

 http://community.livejournal.com/bbm_phoenix/tag/author:+louisev

And from now on I am putting Millie's fanart cover on all of my updates so that she can get a little well-deserved "exposure" !

Wow.. it's lookin good Louise!   ;D
I never heard of the bbm_phoenix community before now!
Maybe I'll join and post some of my bbm fanart there!
Cheers Louise!  ;)

I think that is an EXCELLENT idea, Milli....I was going to suggest this to you.

It is a new archive, just started this week. I have been friended, but haven't had a chance to post any of my stuff. I'll put your cover with ALBFS when I get it up there, okay?

So ..

While we are choosing the ADA Samuelson, why don't we cast Pete?  Can you believe we have no no-spleen Pete ..  :o

Okay, so I like this lad for Pete (I am told that the fact that he has no spleen should not necessarily be evident in the pic ..  ;D .. )



.. Other suggestions folks?  :)

Ahhh... poor Pete. At least he's copped himself on and chucked Wayne out. I understand that Wayne must be hurting with all that he's having to deal with, but alienating his friends isn't going to help. Maybe Ellery needs to have a word and try and figure out why he's being so distructive.

Ennis was being nice in his own gruff way. I mean, making biscuits, gestures don't get more friendly and considerate than that.

Now two questions - what is going on with Ennis's hearing, and will the appearance of a copy of that tape cause any fireworks? I'm still curious to know what Ennis's reaction to watching it was.

yes indeed.... they let it slide on Friday it appears.

I am just sort of floating back to earth after watching the first two Xmen films... holy HELL that leather catsuit is sexy.

Meow!  I need a little time to pull my head back together.

Hee hee Louise, I can't think of a credible storyline that would involve Ellery in an outfit of that nature. Mabe Ennis will visit that 'other' bar and decide that leather has other uses than for belts and saddles.
