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.

Sleep, perchance to dream. *yawns*

Shower had.
Coffee and donuts gotten.

Now, watching a schlocky sci-fi film before getting down to studying.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I'm trying to decide what useful thing to do now. Study, or work on a story? And if a story, which one?

*points to a story* That one! *grins*

I'm studying, watching a schloky horror film, with a fire. Nice and cozy.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I feel very uninspired... but since I just kicked a friend out saying I still needed to do useful stuff, I had better do something.

I just folded a load of laundry. Now, back to reading about control break reports.

Going for a walk now. Night all!

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I'm writing... at least a bit.
and I've already been for a walk today, that's got to count as useful stuff as well.

And the girl in this movie I'm watching, she's toast. That thing chasing her has wings.

Just got back from seeing Revolutionary Road. What a feel good movie. NOT!!! It was very well done, but take lots of tissues.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

Blegh. Waiting for my new harddrive to arrive. I wouldn't mind my new book arriving either, since that would give me something to do. :(

I spent most of the day counting houseplants. Actually quite pleasant, I like making lists.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

*waves at Magpie*

I list lists. They are so tidy.

Question: Can you have a list with only one item on it? If not, when does it achieve list-ness?

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

My brain seems to be dead again. There is stuff I need to think about, and I just can't.

Maybe taking a shower will make me wake up...

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

I seem to be incapable of doing anything else than staring stupidly, so I might as well go to bed.

Re: QM - The Genisis X is leaving Mint

This has been a no good, very bad, horrible day!!!!

First, I'm doing three people's jobs at work.

Second, some idiot at work put MY name on a letter sent to about 1500 people. They've been CALLING me.

Third, I'm driving my husband's beater, 'cause he took MY car with him to Florida.

Third-and-a-half, my husband's in Florida.

Fourth, husband's said car is missing the right tail light, and you know how I know .... ?

'cause the nice police officer who pulled me over with a equipment violation told me so!
