My nephew is doing better than he'd been, thankfully. He's still kinda surly (he's three and people've been sticking him with needles and shoving things into places unaccustomed to shoving, you'd be surly too), but I got him to laugh for a good ten minutes straight yesterday. Mostly by picking up his stuffed dinosaur and channeling Frank Welker for all I was worth- specifically, his performance as Slimer, which is to say a lot of Inarticulate Gibbly Noises That Vaguely Resemble Speech. He thought that was great and kept playing with the dinosaur with his feet. Mom says that was really good for his lungs, and probably more motion than he'd displayed since the day after his surgery, total.

No, I will not reprise any other Frank Welker roles the next time I visit him. I don't sound like cartoon Ray and I would never be able to explain why the dinosaur was ordering the baby jaguar and the Thomas the Tank Engine balloon to build a harmonic plasma phase cannon out of meatballs and cranberry juice.

The apartment's still a pit and badly in need of vacuuming, but I got rid of the worst stuff and made the couch a viable sitting/sleeping option again. So there's that. Also I need to get new kitty litter, because the boys are at the end of theirs.

And it's snowing outside like the planet just got the memo about it being winter last night and it's trying to make up for lost time.

What surgery did he undergo?

[camwyn]

Tonsillectomy and adenoid removal.

Glad to hear your nephew's doing well. Then again, who wouldn't brighten at the application of your Slimer impression? :D

Edit: I swear I speak English. Really. I do. *hides*

I managed to do pneumonia a lot as a child, because of allergies, and he has my sympathy--it really, really sucks to be that sick, and all of the things they can do to make it better are pretty unpleasant as well. I hope he gets better soon, and that his prents do not totally lose their minds from worry in the process.

But the awesome thing about the dinosaur being the one to do this is that he needs to have nothing explained. He's a frickin' dinosaur.

Despite the long, long, long list of people Frank Welker has played... Yeah, I think I know who that is. I'd link you to the Insecticomic along a similar theme, but the page is still down (Wayward is having host issues). Instead, I shall paraphrase.

Evac: *has been spying, and reports that yes, the Decepticons do indeed have a new Megatron*

Override: *as de-facto Autobot leader in lieu of no leader more respected by the Autobots than Rodimus Prime being around (well, Vector Prime, but he got kicked out for hitting on Override one too many times), is very concerned* *asks Evac what he saw them doing*

Evac: He's having the Constructicons build a device to get energy out of the cat.

Override: ... The cat? Instead of just plugging into a wall socket? OH THANK PRIMUS, it's just G1 Megatron with a new paint job! We'll go over in fifteen minutes. The second commercial break should be done by then, and we can just push them all over.

I'm not sure if it's sadder I remember as much as I do or that I only remember that much.

A-yup. That's pretty much the strip I was thinking of, in fact.

Edit: Any idea if there's a way of finding out when she comes back online? Or any way to help out? I love that strip.

[almightyhat.livejournal.com]

Why, watch her DevArt account, (http://waywardinsecticon.deviantart.com/) of course! New comics are up there, too.

[camwyn]

Eee! Fantastic. Thank you!

Only Slimer? I would have thought Scooby-Doo would be a perfect Welker voice for this application.

...Oog. I just plotbunnied myself. Scooby Gang meets the Real Ghostbusters.

Aaaak. [runs screaming into the night from his own brain]

I'm no good at Scooby Doo, and anyway it's easier to make entertaining gibberish noises than to think of actual lines.
