Ahoy, me buckos!  I hope ye be havin’ a terrific weekend.  It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, one o’ me favorite holidays!

I be crazy busy terday.  This mornin’, I did slide ’round on the ice in a fair attempt at lookin’ like I knew what I were doin’.  Fell on me arse a coupla times, but that goes with the territory.

Later this eve, I be joinin’ a fair number o’ fellow Doctor Who fans fer the premiere o’ Series 9, starrin’ everybody’s favorite irascible Time Lord, Peter Capaldi!

Irascible? Who are you calling irascible? And why in the name of the universe are you talking like that?

Never mind Ol’ Crabby, mates.  In the meantime, I be workin’ on a few more queries fer Tunerville.  I vow to ye, I’ll get that book sold or my name ain’t — well hell and damnation, I seem to be lackin’ a proper pirate name o’ sorts.  Any suggestions in the comments?

Comin’ up soon, I be startin’ a class through Syracuse University just like the Doctor Who class I took last year, only this be about Star Trek.  Aye, when ye be considerin’ a name fer me pirate persona, keep in mind me nerdy tendencies, ye ken?

And I be workin’ back up to finishin’ the Secret Book.  It were techy for a nibble o’time there–I weren’t sure I had the heart to go on wiv it.  It won’t be easy fer a few days–me computer’s USB ports went belly-up and the little lubber be in the computer hospital.  So I be workin’ on me old Vista machine, and it won’t let me touch anythin’ on me flash drive, bless it!

This be a good way ter handle malfunctions. Avast!

Yarr, it be gettin’ late and I need to heave me carcass off this sofa and get ready to go.  I be supposed to bring eatin’ implements (plastic forks) along with me, so I best be gettin’ on with me preparations.

‘Til next time, me hearties!
