I'm around, I just have writer's block brain cramp the dreaded CLA (Cerebral Literary Arrest). I want to write something, but Oh! Look! Something Shiny!
What was I saying? Oh, yes--I'm radioactive. No, that's George Carlin. Hmmm...
I seem to be very spacey lately, too. I wonder if someone secretly replaced my coffee with Sanka?
We're supposed to be getting "severe" thunder storms today, so I'll probably turn off the computer and crawl into bed with (for lack of anyonething more interesting) a book. I enjoyed the movie Sahara so much that I thought I'd try reading Clive Cussler. How did this guy ever get published in the first place? Harlequin Romances are better written. The only way I've been managing to read these things is by imagining Matthew McConaughey every time Dirk Pitt takes off his swim trunks (an average of three times per book, so far) or steps out of the shower.
Publish or Perish, right?--so I'm going to post this before I change my mind...

Posted by: Pixy Misa at November 15, 2005 05:18 PMI read Cussler nonfiction book "The Sea Hunter's", and it was very interesting and quite a good read. You're right though, his fiction is really not that good.

..aisumassen...
See how confused I am? :P
Thanks, Bob!
Ok, but you be more specific about which part of Martin's career that came from? I don't remember that line.
Posted by: Harvey at November 16, 2005 07:37 AMHarv, it's from a stand up comedy routine. Something about hating it when you forget what you were going to say and the other person says "Must not have been important." The reply to that is "Oh, yes--I'm radioactive."
Posted by: Susie at November 16, 2005 09:52 AMGoogle hints that it's from a SNL bit.
I'm more familiar with his "Wild and Crazy Guy" LP.
Which I owned :-)
