Other than that I've decided to avoid posting actual slice-of-life blogs as much as possible because they bore me (and Steve apparently) and they're probably lame for you to read and I don't really have that much interesting stuff to say anyway. So I'm going to try to stick to artistic renderings I've created, i.e. the last several posts, which I think are more fun for everyone, and (at least I hope) less self-obsessed.
I've also decided that since I'm writing a bunch of scripts that I actually want to hear them out loud, something I've never gotten a chance to hear (aside from inside my head) and that's how scripts are supposed to be interpreted so that's a new goal. Meaning if you are an actor friend of mine in London (you know who you are) I want to get some readings together and hear you guys say my words. It'll be fun for everyone, and if it ends up really sucking for everyone we'll go out for drinks afterwards. Win-win. Or lose-win, but either way eventually somebody's winning. So tell your friends, let's get some cool play-readings together, once I have enough plays for everyone to read.
Without further adieu, please enjoy more poetry, essays, dialogues, and philosophies in the days to come. This message has been made possible by McDonald's Free Wireless Internet, Google Blogs, my brain for coming up with what to say, and my fingers, for skillfully deciphering it.
Peace,
Adam

Reading suggestions:
"The Matisse Stories," and "Elementals: Stories of Fire and Ice," both by A.S. Byatt, who is English. Her famous novel is "Possession," but I haven't read it.
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," and "Through the Looking Glass," by Lewis Carol. They are both excellent and imaginative.
I also recommend and warn you against reading anything written by Fernando Pessoa. He is intoxicating and dangerous.
Finally, "Down and Out in Paris and London," by George Orwell.
I'm at the library now, checking out a book of plays and stories by Anton Chekhov, and will pass along anything I might find of high value.
Anything by Chuck Palahniuk or Bret Easton Ellis. Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.
Any short stories by Tobias Wolfe, my favorite being Bullet in the Brain (available as a New Yorker fiction podcast, if you feel like listening rather than reading).
