I'm back, after having a little computer difficulty, something that seems to happen every 6-9 months. (Go to Apple and look up "Logic Board Repair Program" for more info on my woes.) Supposebly, they've got this little kink worked out, and even updated my OS to make sure it works (why couldn't Tiger be out?). That, unfortunately, doesn't make me a bit less paranoid.
Yellow, Mark Two, is complete and was sent off to Meet The Opportunity about a week ago. I think it's a 100% improvement on the last draft: a more thought-out story, better dialogue, new and improved characters. It's also, like I wrote earlier, probably 80% different from the first version, so I really don't know if people who liked the old one will like this. All of y'alls out there who want to read it need only let me know; however, I'm not going to send it out until we've had a reading, which won't be for a week or two. I really want to hear it first.
In other news, Entertainment Weekly gave Spike Lee's She Hate Me an "F". Not surprised in the least, even if I think it's a bit better than that.
In totally unrelated news, my wife and I went to Taco Bell the other day and discovered that there is now a Blue Dew. Oh sure, it's called "Mountain Dew Baja Blast, a Tropical Lime Storm", but there's no way people aren't gonna call it Blue Dew. Although one site has compared the taste to that of Scope, I liked it; very similar to the first Sprite Remix. But then, I'm naturally biased towards Dew anyway.
Where we saw it: general | We deign to rate it: outta 100I'd like to read the new and improved "Yellow" when it's available. I'm interested to see how you guys changed the characters and storyline. Hopefully you didn't eliminate the things that I liked the best about the first draft.
