Connections could be good.(Should I put a kumquat in or not?) Deb, insent.

Mostly lurking...

Deb and erika, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. Thank you for your comments. I'm hoping to take another look at the piece later this afternoon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Deb? Do you have something for me to beta?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Only connect! Only connect!"

Been keeping this in mind--the idea, not the actual quote--as I delve deeper into the edits on "Nihilist Chic." Beginning to see deeper connections as I go, things I'm amazed I didn't see the first time.

I have forty pages left to make notes on. I have more than 200 notes already....

The ani-Munch snickered at "kumquat"...He really needs some more stuff to do.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I do. Sending.

erika, received. Will curl up with it later. Today is running away from me at warp speed, and I'm already edgy.

Ok...I imagine it'll take a while for me to fix it anyway. No hurry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am a dimwit! After asking for drabble suggestions, I chose one....in my brain. And forgot to post it. I am a Tep of Very Little Brain some days.

Anyway....the key paragraph challenge is now closed.

We're up to challenge #11, which is almost 3 months of weekly drabbles! I am SO pleased that people are still enjoying it!

I intend to use all the suggested challenges sooner or later, but since my moderator-ship is also a dictatorship, I'm making this week's challenge topic silence. Because, frankly, I have an idea for it, and I haven't been drabbling lately.

So there it is. Silence. Actual words are required in the drabble (Polter-Cow, I'm looking at YOU, baby). Go to it.

Silence. Very come as I'm not for yours truly.(No shit! Really?)

London 1978

The last thing she remembered hearing was a crackle, a spitting, something that might have been firecrackers. They were distant, then not so distant, then closeby.

There was, in her aural sense memory, also a sick squealing, and an angry whining. It might have been tires on wet pavement; it might have been something else.

Now she sat in the London casualty ward with a dozen other passersby. The doctor held up a handwritten sign: "A bomb exploded near you, outside Harrod's. Don't worry. Your hearing loss is temporary."

If there's any justice in the world, she thinks, he'll be right.
