Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

QM - The beach

We've probably been here before, but lately it's either been dark or clouded where I am, so I could use some sun.

How perfectly appropriate. I am completely sunbaked.

Hullo Smarchers.

Re: QM - The beach

Hiya Nin!

I's jealous! It's supposed to be a sunny morning here, but the sun isn't properly up yet and already I can see the clouds coming in...

Re: QM - The beach

Maybe you'll be less jealous if I tell you I made myself so exhausted I fell on the bus just now. Like, eek!

Maybe I'm just dazzled, I got the beach and was at the Sydney Opera house earlier, scanning it out before tomorrow's concert...

Falling is no fun. Be careful of yourself!

Re: QM - The beach

Yeah, I need to be more vigilant. I don't seem to have suffered any lasting harm apart from a potential bruise, I think. But falling's scary.

Re: QM - The beach

Mmmmmm beach! :D

I could use some yummy warm beach. It's the middle of winter here, and it's *cold* and I want some lovely warm sunshine to sprawl shamelessly in.

~sprawls~
~shamelessly!~
