lol, i do like ur avatar though

I'll leave the computer for a while, then return and critique. I'm rusty as hell with writing, haven't had a chance to sit down and write.

I'll recycle, I suppose.

Haha, t'is from a Charlatans gig I went to, got an Access All Area pass :D

I'll have a crit for you by tomorrow evening!

Yea mate, it's getting nasty out, where you at? I see midwest as your little thingy. I checked a doppler near here and it's gonna be around for a while where I am.

Omaha. :amaze:

Oooh, I live about 2 hours north of Omaha, I was down there for a show back in November. I love that town.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Not as backward as most people probably think, but it's still got a little farther to go yet. I forget who was here in November, maybe Bright Eyes?

Bright Eyes, yea. It was a terrific show. Spoon, Willy Mason and David Dondero were openers, at the Orpheum.

Yes this place seems quite dead.

Anyhow, I'll be über busy this week, so I'll just come around and make small, yet profound comments on your stuff.

I am reading [i]The Alchemist[/i] by Paulo Coelho. Read it. It's decently short. I got halfway through it today, almost one sitting.

If you want a short read, and a fantastic read, at that, read [I]Night [/I]by Elie Wiesel. It's his experience in the holocaust and how he beings losing faith in God because of what happens. It's depressing, but a good read.

Metaliq- if you're looking at this thread have you got anything that I needs critting so I can return the crit you gave me? I couldn't find anything on the first few pages.

Naw. I havent written anything since "For The Good of The Colony".

Maybe I'll write something soon though. We shall see, aye? :) Thanks though!

And I finished [i]The Alchemist[/i] this morning. I think it's worth a read.

Now I need to finish [i]Player Piano[/i]... the book I am supposed to read for school. I picked up [i]The Alchemist[/i] the other day because it looked good and I dominated it. Hah.

I still think you can't go wrong with a bit of the old classic Frankenstein. I read it for English class a while ago (though I'm actually doing it again this year) and it remains on of my favourite books.

so are there any writers around that are worth reading?

They're all in LC.

If Sloth meant authors... then here! :P

I picked up a few books.

[i]The Alchemist[/i] - by Paulo Coelho
[i]Blindness[/i] - by Jose Saramago
[i]A Natural History of the Senses[/i] - by Diance Ackerman

Look into them. See what you think.

Yeah I noticed. Nice name.

Reminds me of Bright Eyes.

It should, it's a song title of theirs. I really like the title :smoke:

Ah, I forgot how good hockey is live. And now my head hurts. :(

Oh do you need a pack of aspirins?

I'd get you some but you know. Internet.

Anyhow, I have some ideas for writing, but I haven't grabbed my pencil and all that jazz to start writing.

At one point, some fat guy thought it'd be cool to take his shirt off and harrass a huge teddy bear mascot. I love drunks.

And yeah, ibuprofen > aspirin.

All of those are simple placebos. Alcohol is the only painkiller.

Yeah but only hard booze, like cognac, or vodka, or whisky.


Beer only makes things worse.

Whiskey makes [I]everything[/I] go away, not just pain. I like beer because it's fun to drink, it's all fun.

I et dizzy after 4 cans in less than half an hour. Maybe it's ten minutes.

I prefer harder booze. I mena, with more than 10% of alcohol per serve.

I promised myself I'd stay away from liquor for a little while, there was a time where I punished myself with it. So now I only party with beer, but that won't last too incredibly long. Beer's just fun, feels like you're always doin somethin'.
