Babies, Drinks, Vomit. In no particular order...

I think I want to write a baby shower in the cedar falls stories. All those women in one place?

Tomorrow is D's. Well, today, technically since It is after midnight. D's won't look anything like the one pictured above... I hope. At least it won't at my house :) We're going to be wicked badass.

Just got home from D & A's Avatar viewing party. I hardly really viewed the film, I glanced at it from time to time, but had a great time.

Spent the very last few moments discussing liquor selections with two masters and learned alot, got alot of fun psychoanalytical info!

Makes me want to write. I realized how important and personal one's choice of liquor can be. Whether you use it in a really stereotypical way to identify someone as an archetype like James Bond's Martinis, or whether you make a more complex and nuanced choice that challenges the reader like Faye Dunaway's Gin&Tonics, or if you make hilariously incongruous choices like The Dude's White Russians or John Wayne with a Cosmo or something. I made the last one up.

Anyway. Fun. And I need friendly input and advice because I'm notmuch of a drinker or expert on the wide world of drinking, and it is SO SO SO important to our culture, our identity, our psychology and just the zeitgeist of your story.

So I like writing about people's drink choices.

I also, apparently, have a penchant for writing vomit. You may have noticed. I'm not sure what it is or why, but I have a habit and an affection for puke scenes. Aaron does too- almost all of his stories involve someone vomiting-- though he hates that word and never uses it.

I dunno. Maybe because it, vomit, is the great leveller? Like, if you're being sick like that you are at your most vulnerable, your most primal, no looking graceful or putting-on-airs allowed and we've all done it, we've all of us been there, done that, felt that feeling.

Love the Tapestry portrayal of Vomiting. See? A timeless human classic!

So drinks and vomit. And baby showers.

And I shared wayyyyy too much information right as I was leaving the party and weirded everyone out so now I'm feeling like a crazy asshole pervert and lemme tell you, it feels yucky and I kinda want to disappear.

Instead I am going to a baby shower! LOLZ. That's life :)

Think They'll have one of these at the shower? ;)
