The 3 Blogsketeers

Neighbor bloggers Daily Pundit Bill Quick (aka Mr. Blogosphere) and Toren "Safety Valve" Smith stopped by Shark Manor this afternoon and we all went out for lunch. Bill regaled us with stories of his life as a Hollywood ghostwriter, among them an anecdote from his rewarding collaboration with American icon William Shatner. Toren gave us samples of his work as a translator of Japanese manga comics. I am now engrossed in a graphic novel called Club 9. I quote from the book jacket:

Before she leaves, she makes a pledge that she'll remain true to her boyfriend, despite all the temptations a big city can throw at her, and the temptations pile up like cordwood when the need for a few yen to rub together nets her a job at Club 9, a hot hostess bar. The charming country girl lights a lot of fires in the hearts of the club patrons, and her short skirt is fanning the flames!
