Sneak peak
    #7429442 - 09/19/07 06:44 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

this is the first 2 paragraphs of chapter 3 of the book i am writing. hopefully i will be done with the first draft in the next 30 days:

Chapter 3

“If you ever want to know what it feels like to be one thousand years old, just attend a technology conference. Permanent boredom sets in around hour three of day two. An auto-response kicks in to give the illusion of humanity. A new speaker nervously approaches the podium to give his presentation to a thousand people packed into a room that seems much taller than it is wide. A room that is probably well air conditioned when empty, but now has oscillating fans artfully placed in the exit doors next to the speaker's table at the front and at the hot snack bar at the rear. The scent of Sterno fills the room. The speaker gives an antic-dote, auto-response kicks in, everyone gives a four second chuckle, then the speaker's voice joins the background hum of coughs, whispers, and fans. The woman three rows ahead and seven seas to the left looks better by the minute, the way a hot caffeine free diet Pepsi must look to a man stranded on a desert island. Not as appetizing for taste as much as the fact that it is the only thing available.

“Until that day, I didn't know that they don't use those removable ceiling tiles in a room this tall. They use sheet rock. The logic is that ceiling tiles can get wet and fall while sheet rock is screwed and taped into place. The sheet rock that reached an unknown velocity before breaking every bone in the upper half of the lady three rows ahead and seven seats over came off in one piece, pausing just long enough so the taped seam could turn it on end."
