Just to let you know Larry, I did read a few pages of this book at
Amazon.com.
The author seemed to make effective and interesting use of imagery,
clearly distinguishing the book from those in the "pulp fiction" category.

Surely it must be better than the "Drawing with the right side of the
brain". I admit I only got about 100 pages into that one before I found
a replacement ("Lifelike Drawing with Lee Hammond"). It has its own
methodology too. It is very "gride based" with a lot of emphasis on how
to produce realistic shading (but I didn't realize that when I bought
it). I guess you take a little from here, and a little from there, and
you do what you do. Yes, you can quote me on that... :)

Well, Lust Lizard sounds pretty, errr, romantic... I'm not sure I'm
ready to find out yet what it is doing in Melancholy Cove. It must
really be something special though because the author has alot of titles
to his name! Me, I struggle to write a lot as a single word...

For the record, lust isn't romantic, it's primal. Go for the gusto!

Like Native American myths/stories? Read _Coyote Blue_, too.
Just don't read Moore's books in public, unless you can handle the
stares when you burst out laughing, wherever you happen to be.

I can't imagine our Bill obsessing over any little thing. I really
can't.

I was using a euphemism ("the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague
expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt").
I just looked it up to double-check! ; )

Me? You should see the Bill from the A/C guy who soldered a
pinhole-leak for me last month! I don't need to make this stuff up...

BTW, I go as 'Bill' so that I blend in anonymously sort of like a
chameleon. Don't blow my cover, or I'll change my name to Gill or
something else I can remember. Do you remember the movie which featured
the real Gill?

Sure don't. Was he a wooddorker?

Y'know, I just caught that Subject again and realized how well the
book fits it. We're full circle and back on topic!

Bill starred in it in 1991.

Nope, still went PSA on me, but I don't want you to blow your cover.

(PSA was an airline, airplanes go over our heads.)

I was just kidding about blowing my cover. But if I create too many
sparks with my electrical questions, and I return as Gill, then at least
you'll know it's me!

By the way, 'Gill' was the name of Bob's goldfish in the movie "What
About Bob?" (starrring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss). I only
intended it as an amusing trivia question. :)

That reminds me of the time my parents went away for a weekend get-away,
during which the 40 gallon fish aquarium on the 2nd floor sprung a leak.
All of the water leaked out, severely damaging the ceiling below...and
the fish... :(

Like a softpoint bullet, nothing like the one where it came out.
