Joe The Dog

Joe the Dog dates back to a blog entry of mine from 2002[*], and I thought of something about it just the other day, and suddenly realized, I might actually have to write this. (After the bar, naturally.) Huh.

I'm also downloading Scrivener on catsparx's say-so. (See how influential she is!?)



[*] "[blah blah blah] We don't read it to see Joe Blow, CPA, walk to work in the morning looking at his loafers, thinking about his upcoming divorce...unless of course it's 2173 and he gets hit by a bus on the way to work and has his brain transplanted into the body of a surgically modified dog with a larynx and oppposable thumbs and then has to steal a spaceship with the help of his soon-to-be-ex so he can get away from the HMO before they repossess the dog's spine because a now-dead genetics researcher hid a new form of life in an inactive viral shell in the dog's spinal cord somewhere, only now the "inactive" virus got turned on after exposure to some nasty solar radiation during the escape and so Joe the Dog is fighting to keep control over his body from the new "intelligence" trying to spread through it."
