Zen map - 23 Dec 2003

[Tavis]

<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2003/om20031223.html' target='_blank'>Zen map</a><br><br>Wow.. where to begin. One, I am also surprised about Millie's tail not being colored and didn't notice it until Simpson pointed it out. Two, nice establishing shot combining treasure and thank you note from JFK. Three, in a dark attic, who needs background? Four, the zen map itself is a worthwhile distraction; it is worth mentioning that that map works equally well in any situation that involves going from one place to another. Five, what were we supposed to be doing again? Ahh, it'll come back to us eventually.

I've actually given zen directions to my house before. The guy I gave them to just looked at me funny and said "WTF?!?!" Obviously not serene. I find it best to quote O&M whenever possible, if for no other reason than to watch the confused expressions people make.

The tip of her tail is almost completely cut off by the side of the panel. It's not devistatingly important. And I happen to think that little distractions like these from the very point of the premise are the very heart of the storyline.

I think the JFK note is really nice <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>Also, when reading through the archives (the part where Llewellyn starts homeschooling Ozy), Ozy's reading a book (Dragon History) connecting Amway with the JFK asassination... <!--emo&:ph34r:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /ph34r.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ph34r.gif' /><!--endemo-->

He seems to think there's something wrong with not progressing a story.

I don't think he's feeling any guilt about it or anything. He just thinks it's kind of funny in a way.

[Zaaphod]

It's funny, and it leaves us hanging, wondering in giddy anticipation what will happen next. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>Of course, we'd do that anyway, storylines or no.

And anticipation is what makes a story good.<br>How much more boring would it be if the story was done in three days?
