What did you do today?

[ExplosionProofTaco]

I went to school and didn't get to talk to the girl of my dreams. AGAIN.

 

[Brain_Cleanser]

Walked to a friends house, got a ride BACK home after I arived, spent two hours cleaning up after an over flowed toilet, walked BACK to said friends house, played SMB for an hour, then walked BACK home, got dragged to Chuck E. Cheeses with my niece who freaked out over the noise, got BACK home, then had to find the charger for a phone I broke a few months ago because I broke the phone I got to replace it (Broken screen on this one over breaking the "new" one in half), then played FF8.
I ate in there somewhere.
Though, technicly, since it's now a new day "Was on facebook"

 

[cheese_wizington]

I woke up, showered, rode my bike to my grandmamas and mowed her lawn, got back and dicked around till now.

 

[k0kRoach]

I went to a meeting at my work, ate chicken, and popped balloons with my ass. Now I'm back at work for my shift.

 

[Marter]

I woke up, ate breakfast, watched ZP, talked to some friends, and then ate lunch.

Then I left my grandparent's house, and drove for 2.5 hours to a golf course.

I then golfed for 5 hours, before driving another hour to a town where we stopped for dinner.

Then we drove another 30 minutes to home, and I am now home typing this.

Long day.

 

[Shimmyshake]

I made some chocolate chip cookies and got my new 80 druid a nice new piece of pvp gear.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

I woke up, wrote another chapter in my book, had a talk with the ex-EIC of the New York Times, boned up on my understanding of Stalinist Russia, finally played through the first movement of "Moonlight Sonata" without any errors, won three games of Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising back-to-back, and force-fed a rooster lifesaving liquid pseudophedrine (sic?).

Ooh, a novelist! What is the book about, if I am allowed to ask?

It's about an introverted albino who, in the face of incredible adversity, learns to make a friend for the first time in his life.

But it's also about how humanity as a whole is worth saving, despite its countless flaws.

But it's also also about what seperates mankind from godhood, and why divinity is perhaps best left to the divine.

But it's also also also about why nearly every form of organized government sucks in equal measure, although most of them are preferable to anarchy.

And it's also also also a direct satire of the entire high fantasy genre, as well as a stealth parody/lampponing of both Eragon and Twilight.

Oh, and it's also about some guy who gets chased by werewolves, falls ass-backwards into near-godly magical powers that he couldn't understand less about, and pisses off the god of death or something; but really, who cares about adventure stories when there's pretentious social analogies to write?

I think he may be pulling your leg...if not however, you sir have a cool life.

Nope. Every word of my last post, as well as what I just wrote, is completely true. Thank you, though.

Where is the book on the scale of Catch-22 to Infinite Jest? (Neither side is bad, I just want to know which one it is more like)

And since everyone is being so detailed:

Allow me to conjure a hypothetical radar graph in the shape of a hexagon: if Catch-22 is on the far left, Infinite jest is on the far right, 1984 (drawn-out and boring) is at the bottom, A Modest Proposal (to the point and quickly over with) is at the top, Atlas Shrugged (anvilicious) is in the upper-right, and something that I probably don't remember (subtle to the extreme) is in the lower-left, I think my book falls right above the X axis and immediately to the right of the Y axis, slanting to the left.

So I suppose it falls just to the right Brave New World (four spaces to the left of Infinite Jest and six to the right of Catch-22), sans stroke-victim pacing and with a scene where the main characters celebrate their continued existence by killing and barbequeing a dragon.

...I wish I hadn't taken the idea of a scale so literally.

Helped my Dad get a sofa and 2 chairs in a set for 25 dollars, slammed my hand between a 30 - 40 kg sofa and a rather solid metal door and went home to wonder why i couldn't feel either arm. Not bad for 25 dollars.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I got up, drove to work, made about seventy or so Pizzas, ate, made another ten Pizzas, drove to BK, ate a Whopper, drove to a rehearsal, played the Trumpet for about two hours, drove home, pet my Dog and turned on the computer.

I'm still at the computer.

I am also writing a book. Not trying to one-up you or anything, it just so happens that a I did start a mini-novel on my Australia trip. It's going to be very short though. Your book is probably better. I don't like my book...

Hmm...So it's more like a parody Epic with meaning, rather then a complete joke on everything including itself?

As is only natural. You will always see considerable room for improvement whenever you write something, no matter how good it may be. I do, Tolkien did, and many more will in the future. The important thing is to embrace that introspection and keep on writing, so that one day you might turn out a story you're not completely ashamed of.

...And if you don't, you're probably Christopher Paolini.

Did you hear that "clunk" sound? That was you, whacking that nail on the head. Thanks for that; I can't, no matter how hard I try, I can't accurately summerize anything I write.
