Old stuff
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Mine was tasty, with much lazing about. Started in on season 4 of The Sopranos. Such a great show, though I have to admit the first season was a bit slow (probably would have made a great 2 hour movie). It really picks up after that. Hang on, that’s the year 2001 calling, asking for my opinion back. Perhaps next week I’ll post about this other great show I discovered called MASH.
I don’t have much to post at the moment. I’m working to finish up my secret Santa story for my writing group, due this Saturday. Just so I’m not neglecting this place, I thought I’d dig through the old “My Documents” file and see what’s what.
I found this little number, file name “shaws faust”. I believe I was in the grueling Great Books program at UNT and we’d just read Goethe’s Faust. It’s a fantastic work (at least the first portion), and it apparently inspired some ideas. I ambitiously set out to write a sort of modern version of the story, with some regular nobody in place of Faust. I’d guess this was written about 7 years ago, probably one of the last things I worked on before I took a hiatus from writing. Yeesh. It’s pretty messy, but I still kinda dig the idea, so maybe this is something I’ll pick up again sometime. Why they’re hanging out on a mountain in the first bit is any body’s guess. And yes, it does end mid-sentence. I’m sure you’ll all be biting your nails to find out what Laura does when he answers the door.
