I effing hate the effing Sound of effing Music.

Do, the stuff that buys me beer
Ra, the guy who sells me beer
Mi, the guy who drinks the beer
Fa, the distance to my beer
So, I think I'll have a beer
La, la la la la la beer
Ti, no thanks I'm having beer
And that brings us back to...
Doh!

I have a 97-year-old friend who loves The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews and all that, and she asked me what I thought about it. I told her that I hated musicals. She got very indignant and said, "It's not a musical. It has a story." I told her that if they break out in song for no reason at all, it's a musical. I think she knew it, but was just being contrary for the fun of it.

She's at a nursing home, and one day she called me after attending a Hawaiian-themed party, and told me she just got lei'd.

Wrong folder. That made me giggle.

I would have told her that I haven't seen a musical I liked since Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers started making color films.

Life with Ken...



Best @$%! musical was "Paint Your Wagon" with Clint Eastwood and Lee &%$# Marvin.

(And not that @%& Simpsons version)



Dialogue is missing. But, @%# it.

I can identify with that guy.

The only musicals I ever liked were the Elvis pictures of the sixties. Probably why I hate them now. When I was young I had absolutely no taste.

Quoleena wrote: "Wrong folder. That made me giggle...."

You're absolutely right. I'm so confused.

The only musical I like is Cannibal: The Musical.

By the creators of South Park, a musical based on Alferd Packer and the hapless miners he guided deep into the Rockies to search for gold, got stranded, and then ate them all to survive.

Dark comedy.



A sharp is the tonic to C major!

This is the 'get mad here' isn't it? Now were hijacked by Julie Andrews... that is just mad!

And Simpsons. !@*$ Simpsons everywhere! They ain't been funny since the 90s $@&%@# it!

What! I had no idea! Actually I probably did know, then forgot about it because my book wasn't ready for reading at the time. Plus I get easily distracted. Especially if the distraction is shiny. Effing memory and my effing love for shiny... oh, shiny thing! *runs off*.

putting myself inside of the heads of my characters is really draining

As a kid, I always used to sing, "Ra, a name I call myself..."

Ray

I giggled, Ray. And I don't even care if I'm on the wrong thread.

Effing A, you keep blowing their brains out, so try it from the outside.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen anytime soon. :)

And that is part of the problem. If I want the reader to like and get attached to a character before they die, then I have to like them even more, and be more attached to them.

I see your dilemma, just pulling your leg:)

;)

Another issue is I can't just switch from one character to another very easily like this. Takes me a little downtime to get ready to work on the next chapter with all of these PoV switches.

i still haven't come to terms with the fact that there is a f'n show on History Channel about cutting down trees

Charles wrote: "i still haven't come to terms with the fact that there is a f'n show on History Channel about cutting down trees"

They'll make a TV show about anything nowadays. Ever see Ice Road Truckers? It was fascinating for about ten minutes. I swear after that it's just the same footage over and over again. Really, how interesting can it be to watch people driving trucks in the snow?

Effing Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ went down for several hours and when it came back, all my notifications are from five days ago. What the eff?

I watch History Channel a lot when these new wave reality shows aren't on it. Which is usually like 7 am.

u mad about having to read our books? :(

i'm jk welcome to SIA! :)

Hahahahah! Nope! I'm excited to read them JK. If I focused on writing as much as I read, I could finish the projects I have open. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Miss! Have another welcome and if you haven't already, feel free to introduce yourself to everyone in the introductions thread.

And of course, get mad here if you feel like. ;)

Cutting down trees is a fascinating subject. The big trees make a really big CRASH when they fall.

If a tree falls on a man in the forest alone, does he make a sound?

Hello Christina! Thanks so much! I like Good Reads already. Wish I had joined a Long time ago.

Greetings Miss D
This is good place to ask questions and find answers, if they should arise. Need I mention, a little 'off the wall' humor.

Depends... did he see it coming?

Charles wrote: "If a tree falls on a man in the forest alone, does he make a sound? "

If a tree falls on Forrest Gump, can he still run?

Oh, wait, this is the mad thread.

*#@%! you M. Night Sha-Ma-La-Ma-Ding-Dong! The Visit sucked. Seriously, people. If you watch the trailer, you'll see the whole movie. There really isn't anything else to it.

hooved is a f word u f autocorrect f u

he was the one that chopped it down...

Then he makes a sound like, "Oh Sh#*!" Splat!

This scenario sounds like one of those, "Hold my beer and watch this," type situations...

So I go to listen to some Adele on youtube and forget to turn it off and just let it roll, when suddenly I'm jostled from my writings by the most horrible, whiniest radio garbage I've heard in 10 years. F. Just because I like Adele doesn't mean I want to listen to 200 Maroon 5 songs right after her track.

Hahahahaha! I love Adele too. Hello everybody!!! Question? Both myself and another author used the pen name Miss D. Now her book is coming up as one written by me. I used Miss D when I wrote Corrupt-Rise To Power because it's what the inmates call me at the prison where I work. And that's what the book is about. But I didn't write Squatters. Anyone ever had this issue? Thanks.
