Have you ever met one of your favorite authors? Gotten their autograph? How about an author you felt only so-so about, but got their autograph anyway? Like, say, at a book-signing a friend dragged you to? How about stumbling across a book signing or reading and being so captivated, you bought the book?
My answers to all of these questions are no. For one thing, I don't pay attention to when and where my favorite authors are going for a book-signing. And even if I do, my favorite author--even so-so authors--never come to my neck of the woods. Why would they? This is in the boondocks. I'm not the sort to be a rabid fan either because I almost never write fan mail and it never occurs to me to actually travel to a book-signing that is further away.
That said, I have stumbled upon book-signings of local and obscure authors. Unfortunately, the kinds of books they wrote have never struck my interest.
Onesome: Bang--ing your head against the wall? What haven't you been able to get to this week that you really wanted to? ...any hope for next week?
Schoolwork. Of course I hope I'll get some of it done next week.
Twosome: the-- other side of the coin: What have you seen this week that was just really so cool/neat/tight/pick your own buzzword that you just had to describe it to someone?
Nothing, really.
Threesome: Gong-- Okay, do you have one of those cute little gongs in your house? ...or a larger one in your garden? Just askin'...
