Blue Girl. Great working title. Even better: blue girl. Do not ask how the lower case letters change the meaning. I'm not sure, but I like it, so there it is.

Wouldn't you love to get your hands on the blog musings of your favorite authors? Why, God, why were we so late with this wonderful supplementary writing tool? Then we'd know for a fact the great ones suffered from the same dibilitating thought processes sometimes.

An entry from Chickens, Etc., the blog of Charles Dickens:

This is a story of two cities enjoying and enduring. [No wait. That's crap. Let's try it again.] There was happiness and there was sadness. People were walking, people were standing still. [Hey, I've got a theme going here. More after coffee...] There was hope among the lost [Shit. After the coffee break, I lost the rhythm. Won't get up again until I work it out]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

That should do it for the day. [Is anybody reading this? Going to check my stats again]


I'd love to see the blog musings of Van Gogh, but no painter I know has any idea how to power on a computer.
