Consider The EASY-BAKE

I hope that my blog and its readers don't take offense to my refrain of,"Why am I writing this, here? A reader asked me how I decide what to post, and the sub-question I heard was, "Why do you post the things you post?" If you find The Answer let me know.

I started reading Quinn Cummings' book in earnest on the bus ride home today, I think I got into it, as that's the only explanation I can think of for being awake and missing my stop, which has never happened before. She writes in a funny/real way that speaks to my insides:

"I can not say that being a child actor was detrimental to me, but I could do without being a former child actor. To be a child is a temporary condition. To be a former child actor is a permanent state. Former child actors aren't people. They're memories from your childhood, little people who lived in the television in the den. It would be as if I asked you to consider the feelings of an EASY-BAKE oven."

Just got home and am heading out soon for the evening.
