Oh, now that’s strange.
Or odd, at least.
Ever get seriously convincing dreams … ? The really vivid type … ?
I have to admit, I had one: basically, being told Terry Pratchett had died.
And one that was convincing enough for me to immediately check the news, the minute I’d got up.
See what I mean … ? VERY convincing … !
Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?
Before I turn it into an in-depth psycho-drama … !

I’ll leave you with this quote from Wilkie Collins …
“Men ruin themselves headlong for unworthy women.”Wilkie Collins, 8 January 1824 – 23 September 1889
And, as today’s the birthday of Doors guitarist, Robby Krieger, I’ll also leave you with Runny Blues, one of the few he sang on.
* Oh, Debbi, did you see my comment … ? Basically, Sonic can avoid drowning if he eats the air bubble. Not TOO sure what to make of the Minecraft version, though: I don’t know much about the game, bar it’s one of those where you can build your own levels. It’s also gone a bit Gangnam Style …
It’s amazing how far Korean pop can go …

I saw your comment. Thanks, Paul!
Perhaps it might be a good idea to make up another game, like Sonic, but different. That way, I won't have to worry about the little details. Ha! :)
Isn't fiction writing awesome? You get to tell entertaining lies for a living. Ha ha!
This is why it's important to keep the truth straight in your mind. Be careful how much you pretend. You know? :)

2. Haiti
