I got my copy of Breaking Dawn at 12:04 AM, Saturday, August 2, 2008! Oh yeah, number 15.

I am now officially in the League of Awesomeness as The Sarcastic Scribe

There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like life, particularly a good one, which is well worth staying up all night to finish. —Lemony Snicket

This summer I am reading, writing, counting days, and allowing the cat to steal my shrimp. Feel free to join in.

Most of my Ficlets are inspired by books, Billy Joel, or Jack Johnson songs.

So, if you’ve read Adverbs by Daniel Handler, then you know that each chapter is titled with a different adverb, and contains the same character names although, each story is essentially separate. The characters often repeat a phrase in another story or they mention a character that was in the previous story. That is what I’m going to do with the “Goode Callen” story, but mine will be titled with verbs. It starts with my entry in a challenge: http://ficlets.com/stories/39031

If you haven’t already, you simply must see I’m Reed Fish, In America, and Bon Voyage.

“I was born in ‘49, a Cold War kid in McCarthy times. Stop ‘em at the 38th parallel, blow those yellow reds to hell. Cold War kids were hard to kill under their desks in an air raid drill. Haven’t they heard we’ve won the war, what do they keep on fighting for?”—“Leningrad”, Billy Joel (Part of the Billy Joel Posse with T. F. Torrey, pens&feathers, and BARomero.)
