<p style="text-align: center;">A pal of mine (hey <a href="http://www.sassquach.com/journal/2011/11/16/sassquach-goes-to-sullivan-and-son.html">Paula</a>!) is getting married soon. Like most engaged gals, she reads bridal literature, which usually puts information in list format. "FOUR WAYS TO SAVE ON CENTERPIECES." "TEN MOTHER-IN-LAW DRESSES THAT ARE SEXY IN A MODEST KIND OF WAY." Stuff like that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Well, the other day she read a list of top nine wedding reception disasters. "Melted candles" made the list. Can you believe that?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">There are WAY worse disasters to be had.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.sassquach.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-33544275.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>It's been ages since I saw a decent romantic comedy in the theaters.</title><category>movies</category><category>police</category><category>police academy</category><category>police cops</category><category>romantic comedy</category><dc:creator>Ashley Quach</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:13:31 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.sassquach.com/journal/2013/4/26/its-been-ages-since-i-saw-a-decent-romantic-comedy-in-the-th.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">985893:11360266:33509233</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.sassquach.com/storage/Miranda Rights.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1367010833696" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I met a police sergeant yesterday who mentioned that he met his wife in the academy.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">C'mon, that's gold. You'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll get to see young recruits fight through an obstacle course after getting pepper sprayed right in the eyes. Then, I dunno, they can foil a heist on the night of the big policemen's ball.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Last month I got a request from the nice folks at St. Luke's in Houston, TX for permission to use the FAST Stroke detection comic for one of their events. I redrew the comic to be more suitable for a poster-type-situation and voila!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now, apparently, it's in magnet form! Too cool, St. Luke's. Keep teachin' kids about how to spot strokes.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 140%;">HEAR YE! HEAR YE!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 120%;">Super pal and graphic novelist <a href="http://marksable.tumblr.com/">MARK SABLE</a> is Kickstarting this super cool book,<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/78669939/dracula-son-of-the-dragon"> DRACULA: SON OF THE DRAGON</a>. There's dragons and vampires and HISTORY! Are you poopin' in your pants yet? Well, there's more! This Kickstarter comes with a heap of great rewards to choose from: leather bound editions, original art, prints...oh, there's just too much! (All the best Kickstarters have art as rewards, don't you know?)</p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 120%;">They even have retailer bundle rewards! You can get <a href="http://marksable.tumblr.com/">Mark</a> and Salgood to come do a signing at your store!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 120%;">Personally,<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/78669939/dracula-son-of-the-dragon"> I decided to choose the reward where Mark consults you on a script</a>. Mark is the first guy who ever read my work in its entirety and his advice is spot on. If you write scripts and were thinking about getting coverage on a project, why not just hire him? Support the artistic community and get some solid gold pointers in one fell swoop.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.sassquach.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-33162049.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Been having some weird dreams lately...</title><category>dreams</category><category>stephen king</category><category>zombies</category><dc:creator>Ashley Quach</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2013 23:54:42 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.sassquach.com/journal/2013/3/15/been-having-some-weird-dreams-lately.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">985893:11360266:33050306</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span>&nbsp;</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">No one in the dream seemed very alarmed about the zombies. Everyone just sort of went on about their business and occasionally bagged a corpse.
