Dancing the War Away

An article entitled "Dancing the War Away" seems a good follow up to the one I posted yesterday. (via angelovebbw ... thanks.)

Redirection: (points) What in the world is that?

We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: Impeachment. That won't happen, ok? So instead we have the chance to do this the smart way or my way. The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the common sense and perseverance and tolerance of our own citizens. I got a different bill to sell you though, I say it's really just the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world. Whether they want it or not. Even if we have to kill them to set them free. I know that Sting guy, he does good songs. [Read the rest of this transcript of the inaugural address.]

Fainting Goats.

Want one. Nao.

Perse's Short Story Challenge

And I agreed to this somehow:

There seems to be enough interest that I am setting a deadline. The
deadline for the first draft for the short story of your choice in any
writing style and any genre is midnight Saturday, February 5.

Keep in mind that a rough draft is not perfect. We are not striving for
perfection in a rough draft, but for the essence of the story and the plot.
The story is to be between 2500 and 3000 words or less.

If you are going to participate please post this in your own journal as
there may be those on your friends list who would like to participate as
well. Even if you're not participating but think there might be some on
your friends list who would want to, feel free to post this in your own
journal. Link back to this original post, so that if anyone wants to
participate who is not on my friends list they can leave a comment to this
post so that I (and others) can keep an eye on their journals as well. :)

Feel free to post your rough draft ahead of deadline if you are ambitious
and get done ahead of schedule.

When posting your rough draft, be sure to put "Short Story Challenge" in the
title of the post. Disable comments if you do not want feedback on your
work. Leaving it open for comments will be seen as an invitation for
critique.

Ready, set, WRITE!

Worst Fanfic Evah!

This was so barbaric she didn’t even know how to respond. It felt like she was in a very bad movie.

Or a really bad fanfic.

Found this through a long string of metaquotes links and actually read this horrendous piece of trash. Of course, it made me wonder if Draco Malfoy didn't actually pine for Hermione in the secret of his mind. Sure he's vicious, but it's just the evil-son-of-a-bastard-wizard schemes that go above and beyond the standard braid-pulling of most elementary school boys. Do you think he keeps a secret journal when his cronies aren't around and writes "Mr. Hermione Granger" with hearts and skulls? Maybe he sighs and calls her football head mudbloodhead like Helga of "Hey, Arnold!"

Heh.

Tired of me posting today? Too bad. I may keep this up even after I get home. Of course, I have other items I should be working on. Right perse and bzarcher?

jodawi: What time tomorrow for fishies and splish, k?
