Were you on acid in the early 90's?

That's a shame. You really missed out... maybe you did, I can't remember.

I'm all tetchy about it, because I used to get approached by admiring acid heads at a record store my stuff hung at in those days... Oh shit, did I say my stuff hung at in a comment to Jordan?!

Why yes, Sam, you did. Do they still hang there, maybe just a little lower these days?

Why is it that all the best writers had such shitty childhoods?

William Goldman claims it's because all writers are motivated by the need for revenge...

He should never have written the Maverick screenplay.

Well, at least he only thieved his own ideas to get it done-- and yeah, not his finest couple of hours.

Thieved his own, eh? Unlike Misery?

SRaffa In reply to parliamentFunk [2009-07-11 23:26:19 +0000 UTC]
Wait, no, that's not right-- translating a book (especially a King book) into the language of cinema is a seriously difficult thing to do-- I've never seen King do it well with one of his own books-- and Goldman's treatment of Misery is a textbook example of how to do it RIGHT-- I guarantee King would tell you the same thing...

You really think so?
A cat mauled a pigeon in our back garden while I was at school. My mum had to go out and scoop it into the trash using a spade, and then she had to sterilise it and burned part of our lawn...

I'm very sorry to hear that.
My own cat just looks with curiosity at birds; she doesn't seem remotely interested in bothering them... We won't talk about her relationship with mice, but still...

Since 2001-- the lovely and generous year of the snake; how was that year for you, my liege?

synconi In reply to SRaffa [2009-08-29 22:28:48 +0000 UTC]
I'm glad it was a generous year, that one.
I was eight, started a new school that year- went from being the eldest in my infant school to being one of the tiniest and youngest in the junior school...strange change of power that.

I was industrious-- I was making puppets, building puppet stages, and putting on puppet shows with neighbor kids-- I was the nonprofit PT Barnum...

Puppet shows, oh my! The furthest we ever got along that career path was those sock-puppet thingies!

Wow, the colors and details are amazing, especially for an image of a traditional art picture. I totally thought it was a digital image until I read your description. I love the concept and the frog's expression!

Thanks very much-- I really miss goofing around with this style-- heavily caffeinated cartoon!
