A Day In The Life Of An Erotic-Writer Wannabe

Image
“Oh, my God, I’m so wet,” she said to him, quivering while   biting her lip. "Give it to me now, please give it to me now.”   So he quickly handed her his umbrella.          So there he was, in his room, on his computer, furiously pounding the keyboard, an erotic-writer wannabe, trying to create his titillating pseudo-masterpiece, currently writing a wicked, kinky, nasty hardcore sex scene that would put E. L. James to shame, typing words that would make even Caligula or a convicted sexual predator blush.      Then, the phone in the living room rang—persistently. Grudgingly, he stood up and answered it. It was just a call from the phone company, offering a new promo, he politely refused and went back to his room, only to find his almost three-year old nephew, sitting at his chair, looking intently at the screen (he could already read and write), probably trying to make sense of the words he was s...

It's Raining Cats And Dogs (And A Few Mice)

Anyway, I saw a thread that asked, “Aside from 'Comfortably Numb,' what song is your favorite in the album The Wall ? The thread starter correctly assuming that everyone's favorite song in the album is '"Comfortably Numb." Almost every song in the album is fantastic but my favorite, aside from 'Comfortably Numb' is “One Of My Turns,” which is written and sang (emotively, of course) by Roger Waters.       In the song, Pink (the main character in the concept album/movie version, who is now a famous but emotionally-tortured, drug-addicted rock star), brings home a groupie, but he just then ignores her and her invitation for them to take a bath together. He instead watches TV while he contemplates on his disintegrating married life (his wife is che...
