The Inconspicuous Off-Topic Thread!

Going to follow a tutorial and try to re-create a barrel using the 3-D rendering program Blender.

I hate summer.  It’s too hot and humid here, and all I feel like doing is moping and watching movies.  We watched Prince Caspian and I nearly died of envy when they had the water fight in the ocean.  Cool, wet water!

But summer is when the Read-a-Thon is! And that starts in five days!

[RoadToGrinnell]

LOL!  I don’t like heat either.  Staying inside reading, writing, and running my Etsy shop works for me!!

The tags for this topic are hilarious…

[Pip]

Seriously? I made it and a while back, once I resurrected my IB account, I saw the tags and just groaned.

[Jordan]

C’mon, Pip, they’re funny! I can hardly keep from laughing whenever I see them at the top of this thread.

[Adalin]

The tags are hilarious!!!  They define this thread very well, Random.

[Pip]

Ditto to random.
And on the subject of random…I took a walk last night and ended up walking around six miles. It was dark  by the time I got back, and we live in the middle of the woods, so it was deliciously spooky.

Installing flight simulator right now. It’s a farely long download.

Going to a summer camp next week… reading a lot. Getting ready for VBS in July at church.

Notice the diminished length of posts here as people are fanning themselves with those pages. *cackles* I shall adhere.
Volunteering at the library now. Very fun.
Discovered Susan Schaeffer Macaulay! *squee*
Writing again; over 60K in my current book.

I’m supposed to be making a treasure hunt for my brother’s birthday on Saturday, but I’ve been wasting time all day.  I’m sorta uninspired, with a buncha half-ideas.  I really need to get away from the computer (and stop watching the Narnia trailer over and over again!)

[Jordan]

Randomness: *Has watched the VDT trailer seven times*

What kind of book are you writing, Pip?

(I’m doing development on a sci-fi/fantasy kind-of-epic, attempting to pin down a label for genre…haha)

[Pip]

Ha, loaded question. People ask me that and my mind goes blank.
Ah…it’s a departure from the “epic” fantasy/spiritual thriller type of things I’ve been doing. It’s sort of a Southern Gothic fiction thing (Southern Gothic is a sub-genre Harper Lee coined with her “To Kill a Mockingbird”, basically revealing stereotypes for what they are with the story set in the South). A blend of that and psychodrama (another sub-genre). I rather break rules with genre in my pieces.
Happy Father’s Day to you men out working in your garages; you see your kids running down the stairs at breakneck speed, precariously skidding to a halt beside those old bookshelves you put up last year for the overflow of literature, and you watch in open-mouthed wonder as your kids grab books off those dusty shelves, books you bought at flea markets and never figured anyone would read them. Thus is the fate of those fathers whose children are legal bookworms. It is never boring.
