My First Attempt at Drabbling

I have been informed by arandil13 and juno_magic that I apparently need to start drabbling. As a warm-up to insta-drabbling, then, I have done some non-insta-drabbles, although they took a pleasingly short amount of time to write, especially compared to hundred-some-page monstrosities.

These are in response to Marta's birthday request on HASA: "I'm interested in moments between cultures where one considers itself more civilised than the other. What did the ‘less civilised’ think of the ‘more civilised’." Sorry, Marta, it doesn't come with a receipt ;)

I appreciate thoughts on these. If I suck, you can tell me. I can't promise I'll stop drabbling, but at least I'll know.

Okay, before I get boo-hooed by any purists, I know that they are not *quite* drabbles. They are roughly--I estimate--about 150 words apiece. (Yes, I am too lazy to do an exact count.) But, considering that my current WIP is roughly about 300 pages long at the moment (and still unfinished), I think that progress is being made in curbing my tendency to ramble on and on and on....

As I think I am doing now....

Funny News for the Week

I think the news has everyone a little down this week. I don't even *watch* the news, and it has me down. First, there's the hullabaloo in London; now, it looks like another hurricane is going to hit the Gulf Coast. Add to that the ongoing strife in Iraq, the steadily rising gas prices in the US, and the fact that Britney Spears might be expecting twins, and I think we could all use a little funny news for once.

So because my education is in psychology and so I'm all about promoting mental health (I promote raging lunacy, myself) and because hubby is off saving the nation from terr'rists (and so I have a lot of time on my hands), I give to you, my friends, ::cue dramatic music:: the Week in News....

Know of any more weird stories? Post them! And here's to hope and smiles for the weekend.
