Hmm. Well, tell, you what. The world doesn't need another Robert Jordan, so if your writing really starts slipping, I will hunt you down and kill you. Is that ok with you?

Works for me. It's always nice to have some positive feedback. :)
To: Overtaxed
Right, and you have to do the same for me. I'm trying for Connie Willis or Robert A Heinlein, not He Who Should Not Be Published.

I haven't been reading much sci-fi lately....been spending too much time Hobbit Hole-ing.
Hmmmm....maybe I should try to find a style more like g'nad's
To: Overtaxed
That might not be the best idea, OT. No offense to g'nad, of course.
So...seeing as it's Christmas time, what's your Christmas music? What would it just not be Christmas without?
My List: Anything Mannheim Steamroller of course. Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant for traditional-ish Christian music. Rebecca St. James is what I have on now - her Christmas album is great, traditional Christmas carols massively, massively rocked up. I mean "O Come O Come Emmanuel" with drums and electric guitars!
And the best album of all, Michael Card's The Promise. I would be entirely happy with no other Christmas music than these.

Don't you like pithy? :)
I change stations every time Christmas music comes on. If I ignore it long enough, it goes away.
To: Overtaxed
Oh, come on! Don't you like Christmas?

Well I like eggnog and bourbon balls. :) Most Christmas music is overdone and I'm sick of hearing it. I'm looking for Christmas music that is not so well known.
To: Overtaxed
I guess I'm not as cold and cynical as I often pretend. Christmas makes me feel all happy and warm inside, and I do like the music. As long as it isn't too secular. I mean, "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" is good for a run-through once a year - but how does it compare to Messiah, for instance?

I'm even getting a bit tired of Messiah too. Nowadays I just listen to the Easter section.
To: JenB
Good Morning.
I am with you I think. I love Christmas music for the warm familiarity of it. It's like McDonalds. Some things should be always exactly the same. It grounds us! ;~D
To: Overtaxed
Bah Humbug.
To: HairOfTheDog
See! Don't you think instrumental Christmas music has an Elvish air about it sometimes?

Bah Humbug. Sounds like the Message of the Day from the Ministry of Forced Cheerfulness. :)
To: Overtaxed
Ministry of Forced Cheerfulness.That's me!
To: HairOfTheDog
Whew! I thought I'd run everybody off.

I am cheerful! Do not try to force me!

I have been madly cleaning house... My Dad and his lady friend are coming here this morning and I hate it when she tries to be polite about the stack of dirty dishes in the sink.
To: JenB
You hardly ever need to be force-fed cheer. It is some of our other friends that need it!
