jon_chaissonGeh...not another one of these!! :p Thanks a lot, Lynxie...
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Well, the nearest book was Martin Strong's The Great Rock Discography (awesome book, btw) and the sentence was actually a rather boring tidbit about Laurie Anderson, so I'm going to find something else...hmm...
I had never seen anything like it. I walked home, bumping into trees, in shock. It took me months to get over the horror of that scene.
--from Ray Bradbury's Zen in the Art of Writing. Great book about the writing life.
...and the nearest fiction book is actually a collection of my friend Rob's stories, so...
I look from her face, darkly illuminated from the porch light somewhere in the distance, to the stars, millions of them, beckoning me to become one with them.
--Rob Lorenson, "The Stepping Stone Children"
Rob is a good friend from college and a guy who I feel writes a hell of a lot better than I do.

Date: 2004-10-26 08:18 pm (UTC)It wasn't until 1981 that her recording career took off, when a surprise 8-minute nauseating UK hit, 'O SUPERMAN', paved the way for debut 'Warners' album 'BIG SCIENCE'.
