Dancing Liberties
Friday, February 15, 2008 by Eden Stone
So. I'm on my way to Wal-Mart after a stop at my big sis's book store, when I come to the intersection of Central and Willowcreek, and saw two people (I say people because it was impossible to tell if they were men or women) dressed up as the Statue of Liberty. That was nothing new, as they've been there for the last couple of weeks, advertising a tax preperation shop. What was new, and which had me, Tink and the Maddog gaping, was what they weren't just standing and waving today--no, by the time I came up to the stop light in front of them, they were in the middle of a full blown dance war.
A dance war.
I'm not sure how many accidents they almost caused, but I do know that I was so dumbfounded as I watched them, that the guy behind me had to lay on the horn to get me moving. I'd had a headache all day, and had been in a general grumpy mood, but watching them definitely perked me up. It's just something you don't see every day, and for that, I was impressed.
Anyway, so no writing has gotten accomplished today. I'm on a new reward system-- write for 45 minutes, reward myself with something I want to do for 30 minutes, then start the process over. I did nearly 2000 words in less than an hour and a half of writing time yesterday, but I'm stuck for the moment.
Oh, well. There's always hope for tonight, but for right now, I'm off to take the girls to go see Spiderwick at the IMAX.
Later.
