Happy Birthday, Mayor!
« on: January 11, 2007, 07:51:56 pm »
Who's this Mayor you ask? Well, his real name is Carlos Del Vaca, but because it's birthday I will use his official title.

Happy Birthday, dude! Enjoy it like you would enjoy a day in which your most hated football team all contract flu.

How often can you say, 'PARTY AT THE MAYOR'S'?
Happy Birthday!


(I think that was mostly delivered in a Cleveland voice, dang 'party over here').

Unless that's what he likes, of course.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't stop repeating that bit.

Anyway, let's home that some fun substances get on The Mayor today. Confetti? Balloon drop? Wrestled-in Jell-O?

Appropos of nothing:

The title of this post made me wonder how one would go about naming the character in a story "Mayor Naise" without giving it away immediately.

How you would separate out the references to the character as... "Ms. Mayor" or "Judy Naise" or "Judy" or so on until it would finally hit someone as a sick childish joke at the end of the story.

As if to say, "haha, reader, you've invested all your emotion into a mechanism purely to distract you from a child's pun until the end and this is an analogy to trying to make sense of living and being a person.

But... it seems like the act of trying to write that novel would, in function, turn into an analogy toward that awful truth as well and... I've been trying to avoid Third-Level Ironies as they tend to either make me a depressing jerk or a giddy jerk.

Also:

Happy birthday.

"Mayor! The protestors got violent and rioted. Five dead, three by police!"

Judy Naise hadn't even gotten through her first cup of coffee. Short, wiry, and gray, with hair to match, her pinstripes led her out of City Hall into a clump of reporters.

Yep, can't be done.

Wiry and gray?

Hm.

I dunno. I pictured her as bookishly attractive, all catseye glasses and chestnut hair tied back in a bun, trying her best to hide her youthful beauty because she fears no one would take her seriously as a mayor because of those traits. Like the one female scientist on every rocket-control team in every science-fiction movies from the Fifties. Like Kitty Pryde all trying to teach a computer science masters course where all her students want to date her, even the girls.*

Like Judy Blume must've looked in her early thirties.

Still, in every other way, you're pretty much right, Choop.

*especially the girls.

Here's how you do it. 

Judy Centers is the up and coming councilwoman planning a run for higher office.  While driving home after a late night city council meeting she witnesses a horrendous murder.  The detective in charge of the investigation is hard-bitten, cynical yet dedicated (and dangerously handsome) Detective Sargeant Nick Nays.  Together Judy and Nick discover clues and attract votes, lock up a serial murderer/rapist and clean up Midland City -- all while finding time for love.
