Posted on November 9, 2003 by Susan

Posted on November 9, 2003 by Susan

REALITY?: Time

Posted on November 8, 2003 by Susan

STORIES: Surprises

Posted on November 7, 2003 by Susan

Waiting to find out is the worst part. Usually is for most people I guess, but me especially, I just don’t like it. Although I don’t like surprises either—surprises good or bad. I always snuck around and searched the house … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on November 6, 2003 by Susan

LITERATURE: Eureka!

Posted on November 6, 2003 by Susan

One last remark before I go, because this was really very exciting. In class today, discussing Watchmen, A. brings up a point of the blood on Rorschach’s shirt reminding him of the lance’s mark on Jesus on the cross. Instantly … Continue reading → Continue reading →

PEOPLE: Short Ones

Posted on November 6, 2003 by Susan

Any of you out there remember the Randy Newman song, Short People? Well, it was back in ’77 so I suppose that eliminates 90% of you. It was a spoof on prejudice geared against short people, for which I immediately … Continue reading → Continue reading →

EDGAR AND I: Static at Best

Posted on November 6, 2003 by Susan

Yes, Edgar and I have not spoken much lately. He’s pushing me to write fiction not just stories of my thoughts. I argue that my English Prof has suggested these are stories just the same, but Edgar wants me to … Continue reading → Continue reading →
