Pleasant Grove is a sub-part of the Provo-Orem metro-sprawl. I'm in Provo. Damn, I'll have to pay for that missing Pratchett before they let me have anything else. Oh, well.
'Smile Time'
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I suspect they do sharing, don't they?
Dude. It's Mormon country.
Yeah -- that joke was much more on the easy side, than the tasteful.
But only one side gets to share. The other side gets it all.
Well, I'd hate to think that with the wholy many-wifedness thing, they would be the only state that didn't have a book-sharing system in place.
Too odd. You know?
Deb!

Cool, eh?
Poem/prose drabble thang:
Warhol Days
In the days of the pop stardom draft, your fifteen minutes of fame are mandatory. There will be no notification by mail or Instant Messenger. The paparazzi will simply sprout like the first crop of spring, trampling the lawn and displacing garden gnomes. The animated corpse of Ed McMahon will hand you a cartoon check worth the cardboard it’s printed on, and the weight of effervescence will hit you in the forehead like a pebble in the hands of a paste-eating third-grade bully. Smile for the cameras, lest their microphones transform into switchblades, quick as sound bites. Give them something worth remembering—the lullaby your mother sang to you in the crib, set against the rhythm of the cereal beat box; The bit of Plath you memorized in high school, with a little soft shoe thrown in. Replicate yourself like language, changing color with each inflection. Do not offer the reporters coffee. They’ll be gone before its brewed.
WOOT on shipping!

Victor, have you ever considered this writing thing?
Victor, have you ever considered this writing thing?
I've heard of it. Figure I should give it a try some day.
