Seldom does one see writing of such buttery, lingering nuance combined with the cold gut-punch of truth. Yet Orlando has managed just that -- both lace and iron, soothing on a level deeper than most will have encountered outside a good colonic. Orlando's seeming roughness gives way, as he draws for us the portrait of a Master Chief not so sure of himself as afraid of his own addicitions and unrelenting greed, to reveal the soul and feathery wing-beats of a young poet-god. It's tangy stuff, to be sure, yet steeped in a sense of goodness that may well fill the reader with knowing beyond sense, and that oft-sought Deeper Understanding. Here here!"

In high school I illustrated a children's book for a girl in college (she needed it for a class and lacked artistic skill, so she paid me instead) and told me she might try and have it published. I never saw it in a store, so I can only assume she failed. Oh well.

And I had a few shitty comic strips published in the campus paper of the christian college I attended many moons ago

i took an art class in college, where the teacher wanted me to illustrate a set of children's books for her (or someone she knew.. cant remember now). that was at the end of the spring semester of my freshmen year. i never got around to getting in touch with her when i came back from summer vacation.. i really regret it now.. would have been pretty damn cool .

Someday. My fist novel will be like Valley of the Dolls meets Discipline and Punish, except trashier.

Michel Foucault said:
he was to be "taken and conveyed in a cart, wearing nothing but a shirt, holding a torch of burning wax weighing two pounds"; then, "in the said cart, to the Place de Grève, where, on a scaffold that will be erected there, the flesh will be torn from his breasts, arms, thighs and claves with red-hot pincers, his right hand, holding the knife with which he committed the said parricide, burnt with sulphur, and, on those places where the flesh will be torn away, poured molten lead, boiling oil, burning resin, wax and sulphur melted together and then his body drawn and quartered by four horses and his limbs and body consumed by fire, reduced to ashes and his ashes thrown to the winds" (Pièces originales..., 372-4).

"Finally, he was quartered," recounts the Gazette d'Amsterdam of 1 April 1757. "This last operation was very long, because the horses used were not accustomed to drawing; consequently, instead of four, six were needed; and when that did not suffice, they were forced, in order to cut off the wretch's thighs, to sever the sinews and hack at the joints...

"It is said that, though he was always a great swearer, no blashemy escaped his lips; but the excessive pain made him utter horrible cries, and he often repeated: 'My God, have pity on me! Jesus, help me!' The spectators were all edified by the solicitude of the parish priest of St Paul's who despite his great age did not spare himself in offering consolation to the patient."

Think this except more sex.
