Early ,'Objects In Space'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Nice -- I heard the DVD has some good extras. I got a DVD player for Christmas, but I've been slow to amass DVDs (I've only bought S2 of Buffy and the movie Rain, which is beautiful). After last weekend I want Thomas Crown, and I keep meaning to get Bull Durham.
Alas, I am not made of money.
Deb, you have an interesting life, the edges of which I'm starting to glimpse.
Had an interesting life.
Retired from interesting now.
Hmm, it still sounds relatively interesting, even if it's not not super-charged, high-energy, jet-setting.
Well, it isn't boring (the writing and illness parts are rather, um, all consuming), but I have to say, everything since the fall of democracy seems to have happened in extremes. No grey zones at chez Grabien.
Speaking of which, I managed to write a couple of pages in the third book of the series I'm working on, while we were posting. I was feeling guilty because I'd spent so much time on Amanda this week - Needfire is now 22 pages and will likely top 12 or 13K words when done.
And I wish to hell my publisher would get back to me. I really have reached the "don't open your morning email without first chanting a mantra for Publisher Love" stage.
(I've read The Volcano Lover & In America, which was, what, published in 2001?)
Don't know, Rebecca - I do recall it as quite recent.
Curiously, in the original script he says Thomas Pynchon's novels are pretentious crap, which is a much less defensible position.
I suppose Bret Easton Ellis doesn't pre-date the movie? Damn. Because he would be perfect.
bwahahaha... Ellis graduated from Bennington just a few years before I got there, and the place was all abuzz about him. So I picked up American Psycho.
Boy was that a waste of my time. Maybe it's just as well I didn't get into any writing courses there...
Crash Davis is exactly the kind of man to keep a tattered copy of "Gravity's Rainbow" in his locker.
Great call, Deb. Love Rock and Roll Circus. Marianne looks like a pretty petal there (hard knowing she's on the verge of a heroin addiction that's about to eat fifteen years of her life).
Of course, The Who totally steal that show. At the height of their powers, fucking around and absolutely certain that they're the best rock and roll band on earth. And they're right.
