i found this and this and also this little gold mine in cyberspace last night. am seriously losing my mind after sleeping less than three hours, two days in a row. me + < than 8 hours of sleep = cranky, grouchy, evil raccoon. but then again, there is a bright side.
#7 on the list, i’m coming after you.
and because i lovelovelove the rhythm of repetition in writing (and any mention of sunbeams), here’s a tom wolfe snipet that made me smile as i read it — over and over (and over) again:
ten o’clock sunday morning in the hills of north carolina. cars, miles of cars, in every direction, millions of cars, pastel cars, aqua green, aqua blue, aqua beige, aqua buff, aqua dawn, aqua dusk, aqua aqua, aqua malacca, malacca lacquer, cloud lavender, assassin pink, rake-a-cheek raspberry. nude strand coral, honest thrill orange, and baby fawn lust cream-colored cars are all going to the stock-car races, and that old mothering north carolina sun keeps exploding off the windshields.
– the last american hero is junior johnson. yes!
