Or, um, the corn museum (the place where everything is made out of corn [well, I've never been there, but I am sure you would like it]), or like people's birth places.

My favorite book by my 2nd favorite >fiction writer YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH! Carl Hiaasen rules! Lucky You, his most recent, is hysterical. I turned my entire class onto it when I gave a report on it last year (my copy is "well-loved" now). I must must must recommend "Naked Came The Manatee" which is written by 13 Floridian novelists (Dave Barry among them). A Florida Newspaper had one novelist start with the first chapter, and the next week (or was it month?), it was continued by someone else. Super funny. Like the kind of thing you did with your friends in Study Hall (if you were writing nerds, like we were). Great fun. Gads, you guys have great taste. Even when I don't agree, ya'll are so eloquent about it, it's just wonderful. Varying and Wild taste runs wild. Right on!

Oh, of course! Do you remember that guy who I eventually figured out was a large orange with a top hat and spindley legs and a cane? He sang about nutrition, and was the first guy who gave us the idea to make popcicles with toothpicks and juice and ice-trays. Gads, I loved that man. Wait. Didn't Teeny Little Superguy have a pal? Like, a nephew or something? The memory on that aspect is really fuzzy, but I sort of remember someone else. Help? We already know that a lot of you guys were big Square One fans (woo hoo), but does anyone MY age remember Schoolhouse Rock? Like, NO ONE out here knows what I'm talking about, but I have such vivid recollections of Lolly Lolly Lolly (Get Your Adverbs Here) and Interplanet Janet and I'm Just A Bill and "Weeeee the peeeeeeople, in order to form a more perfect uuuuuuuuunion..." and all that. I mean, now there's this huge resurgence of their popularity, but I distinctly remember those cartoons from when I was wee. Oh well. Maybe that just means that I was glued to the TV at a really young age. : ) Hey, I read a lot when I was little, too, damnit!

Wait'll you try her newest, I Was A Teenage Fairy. Cool cool cool. Also, the story in Girl Goddess #9 about Cubby and someone (can't remember her name)...well, it's also (in an earlier form) in this book of short stories about young people struggling (or not struggling) with coming out, called "Am I Blue?" The title story is wonderful, and it's an all-around good collection of writing for young and old people alike. Geez. Sometimes, I've just gotta sew my mouth shut (tie my hands behind my back, in this case, I guess). >"The Dharma Bums" is my most favoritest book in the whole world. Of course it's good. It's about the Northwest. Now, if the lads would just come to realize the wonder of this area (*cough cough*), then... : ) >Nick Hornby ("Fever Pitch", "High Fidelity", "About A Boy" Was the English movie Fever Pitch based on his book? Is it about football (er, "soccer")? My brother saw it in England and loved it, and I'm afraid we won't get it here. Damn it. There's so many I don't get to see. Blast. Read on!

I think it was Fruchild who did as well, but I'm notorious for dressing up as her (I love my costume, what can I say, and it's kinda a test for people to see if they know, you know?). I think my physics professor put me in a whole new light when I waltzed into that class with a big red A on my chest. His chin hit the floor. Anyway. Did I ever tell you guys how I was walking to my car on Capitol Hill (Seattle's "Gay District") on Hallowe'en dressed as Hester, and there were those obnoxious people who picket for Jesus (or whatever. I mean, how to you PICKET for JESUS! It ain't a protest, so what's with the signs? D'ya know the people I'm talking about? They have big signs that say things like "I am the way and the truth and the life" and they hand out little pamphlets? Well, anyway...). I'm walking past him (with my friend who's dressed up as Tank Girl, no less) and he yells, "Hey, Little Bo Peep! Here's a pamphlet!" I took it, stuffed it down the front of my dress and looked him in the eye and said, "Sir, I'm Hester Prynne. Remember? "A" for Adultery?" and walked away. It was quite wonderful. Okay, there's my story. Frucontent? Yeah right. This place has deteriorated into the land of no-fru-content. But, you know, it's pretty cool despite that. Cause ya'll are such damn interesting folk! : ) Heather "I'm saying I *like* the tangents" Moore ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
