Mar. 10th, 2003 10:40 pmExcuses and laughter.
My writer's group has decided to issue each other a challenge to write something based on a theme. The theme is excuses. I have an idea of what to write. Of course, it's still rather opaque.
In the meantime, the shiny object that deters me from developing loosely slapped together prose is watching PBS's American Experience: the History of the Miss America Pageant.
I am so not the Miss America type, this is fun to watch. Margaret Cho even was interviewed about the Vanessa Williams affair.
--I learned some interesting facts: it is the longest running television show in history.
--It is the largest woman's scholarship organization in the world.
This makes me wonder what the single largest scholarship organization for men is. Furthermore, why aren't they parading around shirtless and in kilts on my frickin' television!?!
