Glitter and Gold

Hollywood is known more for its myth than for its reality, at least in the eyes of the general public. For those who know Hollywood, it draws to mind that truism that “all that glitters is not gold.” The substance doesn’t always measure up to the presentation.

Life in 4D

I had an amusing conversation the other day with a writer I’ve known for several years. This particular guy has a penchant for the comedic and the absurd, which always makes for interesting (although not always coherent) conversation between the two of us. I enjoy our discussions, especially since they tend to escape those useful, but often frustrating, constraints we know as “logic,” and allow for a bit of imagination and suspended disbelief. Our chats often turn into an exercise in “believing six impossible things before breakfast,” as Lewis Carroll once suggested.
