[day in the life: the great outdoors]

[sitting outside the library on a blanket are a large stack of books (two viciously mauled! The horror), a big plate of cookies, a heap of flowers, and one princess who has abandoned political science to make crowns of daisy chains]

Bend down just a little lower, Mr. Zombie. The flowers will go perfectly with the mold on your back.

Picnicking and the ravenous undead... Interesting combination.

[euphiemisms]

It's too bad they don't like cookies...

[2nd_slinger]

That'd make things a little easier, yeah... So what's the occasion?

[euphiemisms]

There isn't an occasion! I needed a place to read, and then... I need a place to be tired of reading!

[2nd_slinger]

Fair enough... You're like your own little Byrds' song over here, then.

[euphiemisms]

Ah?

[2nd_slinger]

Sorry--'s just the way you phrased that reminded me of a song from my world... Pretty one, too.

[euphiemisms]

Oh! I've never heard it...

[2nd_slinger]

Well, if you're interested, I'll see if I can scrounge a recordin' or sound file for you from somewhere... Somebody here's gotta have an mp3 player.

[euphiemisms]

You mean a music player?

[2nd_slinger]

Got it in one--yeah, exactly... Or a Discman, or a stereo, or somethin'.

[euphiemisms]

We have stereos!

[2nd_slinger]

Y'mean back where you come from, or here?

[euphiemisms]

At home! I haven't seen one here.

[2nd_slinger]

Aw, too bad... If all else fails, though, I can probably find it on the Internet for you.

[euphiemisms]

Isn't it strange? One thing my world and this one have in common is the internet...
