It's not supposed to be. It's supposed to illicit just that response: "That's it?" I think it sums up my feelings about life pretty thoroughly :)

"The doctor always said I was a fast healer."

He took his cat to the vet. I think the lines are from a poem - I don't remember exactly where I heard them, but they stuck with me. Just thought it was funny that he said "keep him going." Anyway, there's not a lot to get :)

Ok, so I logged on and saw this message at the top of the screen: "Hey Jack Tilt, we're glad you're here and all, but you haven't said anything in over two weeks. Make a post. Tell us what (or who) you had for dinner. Make an ass of yourself somehow, you know how to do that. Jump back in the...

Don't have a "tube." So are you suggesting that we dig through hundreds of threads to make sure that we aren't posting something that might have been partially done before? Gee... anyway...

Um, errr... can never have too many good quotes and lines; besides, I didn't read too many good ones there... I second that, Jack! Nice work. - Jack

And the last time he smiled was when his friends told him where he'd be buried (in the Arizona desert somewhere). They got a case of beer and some whiskey and transported his body illegally... I always liked that story. Anyway: Abbey Buk Celine Dostoyevsky Fante Hamsun Hesse Sartre...

Who wrote: I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. ??? Or this: The play was a great success, but the audience was a disaster. Or: We die only once, and for such a long time. Or: Love earth - or leave it! Or: Sometimes a man must get drunk to...

Book: Confession by Tolstoy. Supposedly he reveals the secret of life :) Or at least the secret to his happiness, or contentment, or something... haven't started it yet. CD: Can't remember. It's been a long time. But the CDs I've been listening to the most: Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a...

Well, Amber, it's certainly an experience that most of us don't ever have - meeting and spending time with a hero... although a lot of writers seem to meet at least one of their influences at some point; unfortunately mine are all dead...

Ok good, so I'm not an idiot... thanks for the clarification... I was getting frustrated... and I understand completely the need for it...

The usual suspects... Fante and Celine, Hamsun (I liked Mysteries best), and Dostoyevsky. Notes from underground is an amazing book, quite possibly the best I've ever read! I heard some mentions of Hesse... he's a fantastic writer. What about Sartre? Always like reading him. I'd put him next to...

Factotum is unbelievably pathetic! Considering the subject matter even a third grader could make the movie interesting, and this wasn't. A complete failure on all accounts... Barfly is great, and I think Mickey did a heck of a job... Buk: "Mickey Rourke is a real human guy, on and off the...

I'd rather be a heroine addict...

Well this made my day... ... found all this wildly interesting. Especially that a "real" character is posting... and I wouldn't worry too much about what people say, Amber. Ugly, not ugly, who gives a sh*t? Have to watch that movie and read that book now... although I have to think that his...
