People eat water bugs all over Asia. Sure, I wouldn't, but they do.

Are you fucking kidding?!?!?!?!

I'll pass on the roaches. This is 'Merica, and we have cows, chickens, pigs, deer, and bunnies (not our Bunni of course) to finish before we need to start chasing the bugs around.

Then I'd hate to take food off of their table, or their porch lights, whatever the case may be.

Ok I don't have any food pic's but I just watched this and if you like food this is a must see.

WHAHAhahah.

Scene: fade in - medium shot of urban duplex, seen from the alley, back porches, rickety stairs. The sun has just set. Dusk.

Medium-close - Screen door to second-story porch slams open, Asian lady hurries out, screen slams behind her. She carries an empty basket. Woman crosses porch, flips a switch. [sound fx of electricity crackle and hum] An impossibly bright halogen bulb inside a grimy white glass globe.

Close-up of woman's face bathed in light. She looks up, eyes scan left then right. She sets down the basket, turns, retreats to the door - opens, passes, creak of spring, SLAM.

"KIDS! DINNER IN 5!"

You should take up screenwriting.

I write pretty often. I try to spend at least two evenings a week at it, and a fair amount of weekend time.

I've been paid as a technical writer. I also wrote as part of my job when I did academic work.

Getting paid for fiction is hard. There are a lot of very talented people doing it.

Doesn't mean I'm not trying. :)

When I'm on the road a standard evening for me is to find a local pub, order a snack and a local brew, and spend four hours at their bar with my laptop and a legal pad.

I have no idea what it is, but for some reason people find me to be approachable. A standard part of my standard evening is for someone to come up and ask what I'm doing. I have a standard answer.

"Fixing the world with math and poetry."

... to which they often have no response. I try to help them out.

"... it's taking longer than you'd think."

Cheers,

Oh, fuck...now we're gonna get poetry shiz in the food topic. -_-
