[21:07] neducsd03: read the amazon write up
[21:08] neducsd03: yep.. never going to talk with you again.. ... not
[21:10] Admiral Fancy: well it looks much better the way they talk about it
[21:10] neducsd03: thanks
ha ha ha ha ...sounds like "7th Heaven" fan fiction to me.
the amazon blurb really does make it sound better, i've gotta say.
K,
I was thinking later of how you would describe a lot of good books and if you go by plot alone, then A Separate Peace, To Kill a Mockingbird, Invisible Man, and Of Mice and Men all would be described similar to the posting above.
B
it took me far too long to realize "B" = Brendan.
it makes me think of that funny scene in the odd couple, except in this instance there's nothing particularly funny going on.
i am so glad, sometimes, that i blog.
