I don't know how abnormal, but it's intriguing.<BR/><BR/>Love your Maggie and Grandma. I am getting concerned for Birdie. It's hard to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.<BR/><BR/>I notice we already have a twinning thing going on. The Stranger and The Friend. Birdie and Maggie. Negative and Positive. Underground and Aboveground. Reality and Fantasy?

And just what we needed – an evil twin . . .<BR/><BR/>I looked up <I>redabili </I> in my lexicon of proto-Latin roman terminology (3rd edition). <I>Redabili </I> refers to a written works’ readability, often expressed as a quotient, i.e. how good a read a story is.

I was tempted by the Alice idea... but thankfully I got the white rabbit out of my head [although perhaps not completely because of the clocks?!] and I decided to opt for the more surreal path.

(Painted, nothing; it feels more like you've scratched it in and cross-hatched it using an extra-hard pencil, like a #4 or so.) And I love the direction this is going. All the Alice bits a while ago, now all the Lynchian. <BR/><BR/>(And "her toxic twin": wish I'd written that. I'll never be able to read the phrase "evil twin" again w/out thinking to myself, of the writer, <EM>You know, you could have done that so much better...</EM> Hopefully, said writer will be myself as seldom as possible. :)<BR/><BR/>Word verif: <EM>redabili</EM>.
