Where are you and Teaser: 6/23/09

It's Tuesday, Where are you? is hosted on An Adventure in Reading.

I am in space on two separate missions. One is close to home (2001: A Space Odyssey). I have just got a boost from Jupiter on my way to Saturn and am beginning to suspect that there is something slightly off about my ship's main computer....
On the other "mission" (A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) I have just entered the orbit of Magrathea, a planet that has been dead for 5 million years and, until today, was considered simply a myth.


The Teaser is hosted at Should be Reading.

From A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

The introduction begins like this:
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen..." and so on.
pg. 77

I have just arrived in England from France to do the bidding of brother-in-law the King of France. I have been blackmailed into coming after I was found in the bed of a poor painter by the name of Raphael.

He grinned in a man-to-man rapport. "How should you like to share tankard of bad ale and a pair of liced but not poxed whores at the stew after midnight?"

I am in two places at once this week. (Reading): I am still I am visiting the land of D'Hara. I have been captured by the evil Imperial Order and am feeling despair over every being free again. (Audio): I am also in London, where I have just woken up in the hospital after suffering head trauma from a severe car accident. Apparently, I have lost my memories of the last three years. I'm married and don't even remember meeting him!!!

My teaser this week again comes from Confessor, pg 294.


"Being free would be wonderful. Eating well as a slave is not my idea of wonderful."
Johnrock's face sagged a little, then brightened. "But being a slave eating ham is better than being a slave eating eggs, don't you think?"

I am visiting the land of D'Hara this week on my final journey to overcome the forces of Jagang and his Fellowship of the Order. I have forgotten who I am and why I am here, but I do know that I hate this man...

This from page 37 of the same book:

I had occasion to cross paths with her once. We had a talk, of sorts. It was not what I would describe as a pleasant conversation.

Where are you and Teaser: 4/29/09

Yes, I am very late this week!

It's Tuesday, Where are you? is hosted on An Adventure in Reading.

I am still on the planet Annares in the city of Abbenay, a Utopian but anarchist society, learning physics but I have also just died at the haunted Mayan ruins in a little known part of Mexico.
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin and The Ruins by Scott Smith



The Teaser is hosted at Should be Reading.

This from Le Guin's book again (as the other is disgusting and was on audio).

They shot the dead man who lay nearest the word, and later on when the Directorate was restored to order the word was washed off the wall with water, soap, and rags, but it remained; it had been spoken; it had meaning.
pg. 302

Where are you and Teaser: The Dispossessed

Today I am on the planet Annares in the city of Abbenay, a Utopian but anarchist society, learning physics.
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin



The Teaser is hosted at Should be Reading.

This week's teaser is from page 246 of the same book.

To maintain genuine spontaneous fidelity in a society that had no legal or moral sanctions against infidelity, and to maintain it during voluntary accepted separations that could come at any time and might last years, was something of a challenge. But the human being likes to be challenged, seeks freedom in adversity.

Where are you and Teaser: Power of One

It's Tuesday, Where are you? is hosted on An Adventure in Reading.

I am again in Africa this week but am now 6 years old. I am alone on my first train ride after leaving hell (AKA boarding school) on my way to my new home. I just met the man that will change my life.

This week's comes from The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

Hoppie had sensed my need to grow, my need to be assured that the world around me had not been specially arranged to bring about my undoing. He gave me a defense system, and with it he gave me hope.

Tuesday: Where are you? and Teaser

Today I am in Africa, realizing that the aid company I work for isn't really aiding anyone but themselves (oh, and I'm trying NOT to die!)

From page 49 of Lords of Corruption by Kyle Mills:

It was like God was following him around with a magnifying glass, punishing him for all those ants he'd burned when he was a kid. He'd never given a lot of thought to why some people were black and others white, but suddenly he was envious of the Africans' excess melanin.

Where are you?: Florida

I found another meme to be a part of only I wish it were on another day. It's also on Tuesday and is called It's Tuesday, Where are you? Hosted on An Adventure in Reading. I like the way this is set up. Typing about being in the place, doing the things that your main character is doing. I might switch back and forth between this and the Teaser. It won't be every Tuesday that I'm on Spring Break and can spend the day in front of the computer!

So, for today I am in Florida. Specifically in the Gulf just west of the Tampa/St Petersburg area (incidentally where my family really is from!) on an little island called Duma Key. I am recovering from a horrific accident that has left me without 1 arm and an speech disorder but I am learning to paint...and I might be pretty good if all these weird things would stop happening. (Duma Key by Stephen King).
