Entrails of a Beautiful Albatross

[Drunk Monk]

oh the shame, the shame. that was the harshest critique so far...

Only of myself and my guilty pleasures.

I'll be done very soon, assuming Maeve stops eating my supply of red pens. And then I'll tell you all about the Albatross drinking game I've invented. I'm sure you'll love it.

I had issues with Buffy. Gellar never looked like she could throw a punch to me. I thought the original Buffy from the movie was, well, more buff.

Dear TQ,
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Time to start the Albatross drinking game.

Time to start the Albatross drinking game.

Can't play until you start reading it! Anyone who's getting started and wants the rules, let me know.

[Drunk Monk]

...it'll help as I integrate the corrections.

I didn't realize I've been using the word 'since' incorrectly all these years... :oops:

[thatguy]

I've just been drinking while reading it. I didn't know there were rules...

:drinkers:

TG:

It's very simple:
Every time you see a reference to the 1500th anniversary in 1995, take a drink.
Every time you see a reference to the 1982 movie Shaolin Temple, take a drink.
Every time you see a reference to Jet Li, take a drink. (When you see a reference to Jet Li's debut in Shaolin Temple, take two drinks.)
Every time you see a reference to Tamo cutting off his own eyelids, take a drink. (Of tea - that would be more appropriate.)

Note to self: secure Shaolin Temple DVD for TQ.
Note to TQ: Shaolin Temple is not dog-lover friendly. :oops:

I picked up CF's corrections this afternoon and I've been intergrating them with TQ's and fixing that albatross. It's great stuff. DOOM is really lucky to have such skilled copy editors. Love the little side comments. Many thanks to you two for all the work you put in on this.

My head is crab meat and the albatross keeps pecking at it. Peck, peck, peck. I haven't even cleared 200 pages yet. And I found a lost chapter. My lord. This deadline is going to break me.

Meanwhile I am totally getting schooled by CF & TQ on how to write English.
