Writing Success: Well, wish I had something nice to say here. But I don't. I missed chat both on Sunday and today. *sigh*

Music Playing: K103. Trust me, this is WORLDS better than last nights "Roger Miller" CD the DH insisted I listen to. You know, "King of the Road" and famous classics like, "You Can't Roller Skate In a Buffalo Herd" and "Do-Wacka-Do". This stuff is 70's "funny" be-bop country wierd. Please, send Metallica anitidote.

Bizarre Quiz of the Day:

If I had lived 2500 years ago, I would have been... a Greek! Ancient Greece, known as the birthplace of Western civilization, was home to some of the world's greatest thinkers and began customs that we still follow today. You are curious and are always willing to learn. Your wise and calm manner have helped to sort many arguments out and leave both sides content. ~ TAZL.com ~ Take Quiz ~

Hearing the whispers of my characters. They started clamoring for my attention this past week. I'm not sure why. I suppose they've been ignored long enough is their point. I'd have to agree, but must they all try talking at once? The worst? Pak and Sosey. No, they don't go in the same story, but they sure are LOUD.

Started reading "East of Eden", the Oprah book club book. That's right, I watch Oprah. I didn't use to, I watched Rosie. However, I loathe that blonde "comedian" (and I only use the word because she does) from Sabrina. I don't think she can act, and I do not find her funny or personable or anything remotely worth watching. So I just let the TV run after "Days", and it's Oprah. After a year and a half of this, I'm hooked. I know, tragic but true. I am a housewife, after all. Anyhow, her book club is back and the book is "East of Eden" which I've never read before.

For some reason, I read wierd or off books in my formative English years. For example, I have read probably 10 of Shakespeares plays, but did not read "To Kill A Mockingbird." I have read "Animal Farm", but did not read "Catcher In the Rye". (I've read "Catcher" now, last summer I think, but I've never read "Mockingbird") I'm also the only person I know who can't seem to make it through the Lord of the Flipping Rings novels. (Okay, I know another who didn't like them any more than I did, but she did read them.) I've tried. Honestly. The good GO, even. But I just loathe it. I'd rather watch paint dry. It's WAY more interesting to me.

Anyhow, I'm reading it. Not very far, but it's really good. Kou assures me it will be a horrible depressant, but I'm ready for that. And while it's entertainment level is not on a par with the gay novel, "The Great Urge Downward," the writing is much better. LOL.

Speaking of that novel, it's actually quite interesting. They've talked about what the "urge downward" actually is, and I like it. It's the need for this high-born guy to "redeem" himself in the eyes of society by lowering himself to the basest of levels. In other words, he'd rather scrape up poo on the floor with his tongue than be who he was born to be, a rich pampered sod. It's really quite interesting. Okay, and the menage a trois he's got going with the gay artist and his live-in South American maid is equally interesting. hehe

Tepae, that's enough for now. Kalos kalinihta, readers. (Good night!)
