Martin "Fire and Ice" is the series, the second book will be "A Clash of Kings."

Such as "There were less people here than last week". (why, did they shrink?) Or "Less fat and calories". Ugh, advertisers are THE WORST!

Another great grammar grief of mine (ooh-literation!...sorry, couldn't help myself...:)) is the use of the words "affect" and "effect", and "illusion" and "allusion". Although maybe I shouldn't be complaining, I tend to be quite gramatically flexible-I'll blame it on the fact that I come from a generation that learned basically nothing about grammar or phonics in school.... -----Gabby----- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 02:02:49 GMT From: beetleschka@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: the drinking song In article <6rd2ao$fhg$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>, wahrend@my-dejanews.com wrote: > > > Miriam Beetle Libicki I saw _Ever > > After_ last night & though I don't remember any quotable lines, the > > protagonist's rival was the princess of Spain & when ever anyone said "The > > King of Spain", I & my sister bust out laughing.

King of Spain that doesn't look like Dave, pah! ;-) Oh, I know. It was turble. Leonardo DaVinci as a wimpy plot device I could handle, but then the fraudulent King, ech! Unspeakable.

My friends Ellen and Chris got me onto Owen Meany (just telling me that >it was surprising, but they would never reveal the ending - wisely...), I too, thought that A Prayer for Owen Meany was a terrific read, but I've never been too crazy about John Irving's other stuff. I think he has a tendancy to make his books go on a bit too long. Owen Meany would be even better if it were about 180 pages shorter, in my opinion. But then again, a longer book is probably preferable if you're frutripping across the country for a long period of time!:) -----Gabby----- "...and I keep hearing that same damn song everywhere I go!" -Ani DiFranco, Little Plastic Castles ------------------------------ Date: 19 Aug 1998 03:00:34 GMT From: "Arbie Fru" Subject: Re: IRC chat night... Adam, you seem to have two accounts, one with your name as "Hatfield, Adam (Lud) and one as "Adam Hatfield". Right? I wonder if its just me or does anyone else have trouble opening posts under the Lud name. My reader says "there was an error opening this message everytime" and won't let me look at the source.

Ooooh, I would feel *VERY* uncomfortable asking them this... I was overjoyed to meet the guys last summer (did it show? :) and to be chattering away like old friends within minutes, thrilled and flattered when Jian addressed me by my USENET handle, and delighted to find that they're such extraordinarily, genuinely *nice* people (much like Fruheads, but that's another topic altogether), but I have this... sense of distance, I guess. As much as I like them (personally and professionally), and though I hope they have a favorable memory of me, I can't presume to call myself a personal friend of theirs, and I can't ask them to extend to me a courtesy that, as I understand it, is traditionally extended only to personal friends of the band. I hope this is making sense... I do have a fake ID (my sister's old one, actually); it goes through (ahem) "beta testing" at tomorrow night's EFO show. Actually, I have a couple of strategies: 1) show up with own ID. On a dark night, in a big crowd, the bouncer may just see the "Age 21 in 1998" part and conclude that the odds are 5 in 6 that I've already had my birthday. Obvious drawback--one look at my birthdate and I'm sunk. 2) show up with sister's (expired) ID (she's slightly older than me; we've been told we look alike.) Hope they don't notice the expiration date. What do you guys think?
