I loved that thing, despite the flying french fries and hamburger space ships. I used to take my finger and pretend it was a space ship, and spend what seemed like hours flying from one planet to another. Kidtime is somewhat elongated, so it was probably no more than five minutes. But, as odd as it sounds, I remember that as one of my happiest childhood memories."<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. Sound like what I do with Second Life. Except I use graph paper and colored pencils. But only because McDonald's quit putting the space maps in the bags. Then I switched alliances to Burger King, so I would get that lovely gold crown instead!Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948983596686813823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412625856834805307.post-73841248077757544892008-01-31T12:34:00.000-05:002008-01-31T12:34:00.000-05:00Regarding the characters, Mykyl, I can tell you th...Regarding the characters, Mykyl, I can tell you that the main love interest for Alex might remind you of a certain red-haired, blunt-spoken girl!<BR/><BR/>And I will expect a large chunk of the royalties when this is finally published. Much like F. Scott and Zelda, Alphonsus has mined my writing and speech to bring his character to life!Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948983596686813823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412625856834805307.post-28589004762953737392008-01-31T08:34:00.000-05:002008-01-31T08:34:00.000-05:00This is very much the Gnostic view of Satan (or "L...This is very much the Gnostic view of Satan (or "Lucifer", bringer of light - bringer of comprehension) - and very much the reason I do not believe in a deity, or that if there is one he/she/it can't possibly have any interest in such an insignificant species as humans living on a tiny ball of rock out on the edge of an average galaxy amidst a sea of galaxies... but I guess that if there were such a deity, creating "Satan" in the way you have just described would be just about the only logical way for he/she/it to interact with humans...<BR/><BR/>hmmmm... you know - for almost a year now you have been teasing me with bits and pieces of this book now and then - I _really_ hope that you will finish it someday. Of course, I'm one to talk with and unfinished ballad I've been working on for over a decade and a novel I have not worked on in so long that I have forgotten the names of a couple of characters... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412625856834805307.post-23931640590999016112008-01-31T07:52:00.000-05:002008-01-31T07:52:00.000-05:00That is really well written.
