Way to fix the title. Now what's with all the randomly capitalized words?

Woo-hoo. Mt Nebo's here in Jordan, you know. Upward, indeed. Everything except "But the opposite is true / Strength and vigor exhausted" is great. Change that to something less totally didactic and wood-tongued. Or drop it altogether. DOVINA: But that line's the whole point! ZODIAC: Exactly.

I was joking, but now it has hit me that emo fans today probably DON'T know who the Lemonheads, Pixies, Ramones or Moby Grape are. Or that a movie called Reality Bites captured their whole aesthetic the before most of them were even born.

Well, you were never going to be able to get away with the moon's laughter running down your thigh. Nice attempt.

You never cease to amaze me. One, what about the goal of evolution? Don't tell me I convinced you. Two, for my part, I can't wait to get back home and start having babies, if only to balance out the morons so shamelessly overreproducing their dumb moron genes. I never thought I'd ever say that.

Wow. This is like a dictionary of creepy words, but formatted by a post-prime Billy Corgan.

Nice.
Re: Ruins by Caducus	24-Oct-05/4:11 AM
Why sculptured instead of sculpted? As it is you have 'a statue sculptured', a verb which I can only imagine means 'made like a statue'. In other words, making sculpted 'sculptured' adds no meaning at all and eliminates an easy chance to add meaning. On a constructive note, I think it would be helpful for you to add actual, modern details about Rome. Seriously.

PS-My experience is that people who aren't in relationships talk about what they'll give to a relationship; people who are in relationships talk about what they get from theirs. I think there's hope for you after all.
Re: Count the Days by longships	23-Oct-05/5:04 AM
Yeah, and I've got news for you: being a poet doesn't get you laid like it used to, when Wordsworth and Coleridge could get non-scaggy college girls whenever they wanted without waiting or foreplay.

You're probably too young to know that for one glorious summer the name on everyone's lips was Evan Dando.
Re: a comment on Slim and Pretty, Or Not by Dovina	22-Oct-05/12:03 PM
I would prefer a farsighted, who would see me clearly while distant (and thusly diminished by perspective) but not have a chance of seeing anything closer. Admittedly nearsighted is better as a metaphor. Do you think that's why so many people use it as a metaphor? Well, everybody has keys.
Re: a comment on Farm animals by INTRANSIT	22-Oct-05/9:58 AM
Meaning or not, it's a sexy as hell thing to say. I've found myself repeating tongue-in-groove all week to random Arabs. Proof that submitting to the will of micromanaging Allah didn't get them all brains.
Re: Slim and Pretty, Or Not by Dovina	22-Oct-05/9:34 AM
A nearsighted man will see you clearly if you are close, and fuzzily from a distance. Are you sure that's what you meant? That aside, rather too like one of those women's-keychain jokes like, Have you ever noticed all of women's problems start with 'Men'?

Last I checked, I wasn't mocking your existing, functional relationship.

Re: a comment on Marriage by Dovina	21-Oct-05/11:22 AM
Are you serious? One, I mean the HUMAN race. Two, if I had statistics for marriage in other countries, I'd use them; as things stand (and as we're both Americans), America's a stellar example. Three, I'm saying that because 50% of marriage commitments fail, maybe there's something wrong with the commitment. Four, no, pure endurance of anything has never been worth the cost of anything. Is that what you want on your tombstone? "I endured"? Five, scoff, but I don't have to change my very conception of love to fit some outside institution, or justify unhappiness to myself. THAT'S romance. Six, it's early where you are to be so drunk. Shame on you.
