It's Friday... I'm in Love

Never Go Back Again

This past week, and really for like the past year, I've been revising my never-ending story. This time may be the last. Let's all hope.

Today I am cutting out a major part of the story. It is hard. It is the part of the story that in the beginning everything else originated from. Now, it has no place. I'm worried. Yes, I have the story backed up in various states, so I can go back... but really I can't. Once you've put your mind to revising, can you ever go back?

I don't think so.

You can pick out darlings and special turns of phrases maybe, but once you've committed to the story in its new form, it becomes real. It would be like taking a scene from one book and moving it to another, it just can't happen. Those things happened to those characters. Not these.

And I thought only evil clowns had this effect on me

If you regularly read my blog, you will probably recall that certain commercials really upset me. Well, we have a new leader. And what kills me is that commercials do not make themselves. They are pitched in front of many other people, they are agreed upon. They cost lots of money. I just don't understand how they get so screwed up. Someone somewhere along the lines needs to stand up and say--are you crazy???

The commercial: hordes and hordes of walking scissors.

The problem: The intense fear I get evrytime I watch it. My poor feet shrival in fear just watching these people as the walk amongst the slicing scissor blades. And then if that doesn't mean anything to the makers of this commercial--how about this--feeding the hungry, evil looking "scissors" your credit cards implies never using the credit card AGAIN. WHY O WHY would a credit card company suggest that people cut up their cards? It is bad for business. It has nothing to do with the message of the commercial which gets thoroughly lost since I am vomitting with fear.

Everyone else has a beefcake day... so naturally I want one too. So Friday we shall feature my crush of the week. This week, Toby Rand from Rock Star Supernova started looking pretty yummy. He's an Aussie and Aussie men have this totally sweet quality about them even though they are all man. Plus he has cute teeth--ya know like little fangs that make a girl want to be bitten.
