Does that mean you're gone?

35 years alone in a room with nothing but an tuba and a record player.

Oh where to begin.

Decoy:
Opinion: Most people that are the best at something in the universe don't care more than other people. It makes him seemed flawed in an awkward way. The muse bit is good, way better than the usual deal with the devil. St. Christopher is an obvious saint, don't mention it in the synopsis. Nobody likes to watch misogyny. Wax is right, drop the but, its not serializing the plot, its a synopsis. Link to the quote, Frank finds that to make his destiny demands a choice between his dreams of fame and his love for the girl. Syd Fields must have a cookbook for making these things, just a suggestion.

Decoy:
You're at the very beginning of a rags to riches story.

Queenie:
Thanks Decoy though I'm not sure I understood what you meant when you said: "Most people that are the best at something in the universe don't care more than other people".

Queenie:
But I dig what you're saying when you say: "Frank finds that to make his destiny demands a choice between his dreams of fame and his love for the girl" -- like suggesting that his destiny turns out to be in his own hands after all.

A friend of mine suggests writing in a more conversational tone, maybe from the viewpoint of one of the characters. I like this idea, could be good.

So my class which is supposed to go from 5;15 till 7:50 lets out early. Now either I can waite till my next one. go home and come back for my 8:00 class, otr go get something to eat. Would anyone like to read my story?? Just because people read books when they're young doesn't neccessarily make them smart. There'sa difference between reading and comprehending. I read Moby Dick when I was like 6. I thought it was just a big fish story. I also read the Old Man and te Sea about that time. Did I comprehend them? No.

Queenie:
I confess, I've read a lot of books in my life because I thought it was the cool thing to do. Like Burroughs and Kierkegaard and Kerouac.

Queenie:
Didn't care much for any of them.

RALPH SNARTŽ was NOW's longest-running comic. In the book's earliest days under the title RALPH SNART ADVENTURES, Ralph Snart, a beer-chugging accountant-gona-mad, was locked up in the Montgomery Home for the Really Insane. The pressures of reality often overwhelmed him, and as a result, he "escaped'from his cell by entering into his now-famous'fantasy otherworld." In the character's early days he was a macho (yet dorky), keg-guzzling, politically incorrect couch potato. When he wasn't ogling women or passed out, he was usually being tormented by his arch nemesis, Dr. Goot. At times of duress such as this, his brain triggered the otherworld, where stories like "Rodent Ralph" (use your imagination) were possible. These days, Ralph has been revamped into a hard-working, whipped (but still dorky), family-man couch potato. The trials and tribulations of everyday life often send him reeling into his omnipresent fantasy otherworld. Anything goes in Ralph's otherworld, and even when he hasn't retreated into his stressed psyche, Ralph's reality is more challenging to the imagination than the average comic book

Decoy:
I just mean that if I think that I am the best writer in the universe, people automatically want to see me knocked down a peg. Superlatives should be demonstrable through the narrative; and hopefully not literally. Just a suggestion.

Decoy:
Yeah, I read Naked Lunch in college and was a little disappointed that I thought I got the joke.

Decoy:
Moby Dick = GAF Mr. Magoo Viewmaster. I never got over the images - even by college.

Time to go for a walk to get the mail, back in a while.

If I was going to write a film, I'd make it a short. I'd make it surreal and I'd get it translated into French. Cushca and GB would star in it and I would make sure that it was the most pretentious piece of work I could possibly make. This is going to be fantastique. Non?

My actresses will have marvellous Airstream trailers and fine treats to eat.

It's going to be shot in sepia tones too.

And I have a Robyn Hitchcock tune in mind.

Goodnight.

Decoy:
Hi sleepy. Nothing good in the mail. Do you want to know what came?
(Mon Jan 28, 2002 - 7:50:56 pm)

Decoy:
Ugh damn. Good night.
(Mon Jan 28, 2002 - 7:51:28 pm)

Sleepy:
Yes.

Oh. It's gone so wrong.

Tres fanstique!

You must tell me.
