Shameless Self-Promoting

I hate to be a nag, but I'm starting a little mini-series on my writing blog (linked to your left).

[Aside: an asian gentleman just walked into my apt. complex lobby to use the wifi, like me, and he sneezed. The sneeze sounded asian. That's wonderful.]

Anyway, I'll post short little vinettes, if you will, titled as "sketches" over the next few works, or months, or however long it lasts. I've already posted the first. Do please read them, they are very short, and leave your comments. Let me stress that I'm not looking for literary criticism. Just your impressions. And I do confess I am looking for a little more than "good. I like it." But still not looking for "the use of second person past tense is especially inspiring in the second paragraph." Just let me know what readers out there are thinking of my style, similies, and word choices. And the general impression of my writing. By the way, each little sketch is quite intentional and has its own, if I can use the "m" word, meaning, in a way. They are meant to be character sketches. Please tell me what you think if you have the time. Give me some feedback.

Christmas music sucks. Generic Christmas music, that is. It's something like misjudging distance and bumping a glass full of water against your front tooth when all you want is a sweet little sip.
And whatever happened to the voice that is pleased to bring you the feature presentation? I really, really miss him.
