Although I happen to think the Bacon Double Cheeseburger at Burger King is pretty fucking tastey when I have it, which is infrequently admittedly. I'd say they are the king of fries, chips regardless of size should not have salt on and should be swimming in so much vinegar it makes you involuntarily cough when you eat them.

Especially hungry for either a Burger King or KFC meal. And I've brushed my teeth so I'll be fucked if I'm eating anything now and brushing them again, biting fingernails it is then!
EDIT: How is ye book writing going by the way?

it's been killed stone dead. i'd kill for a dr. pepper, though.
EDIT: up to chapter 9, but still need to pad it out quite a bit.

Because I only vaguely remember that you were writing some kind of humourist manual type book, so I'm not sure how length or chapters would work in that instance.
I finished my final chapter the other day, quite badly as well, but I've got to go back and rewrite the first chapter which is still how I wrote it over a year ago in the first draft. I suspect I am going to be doing drafts forever,

i can't begin to count the times i've written something i thought was hilarious at the time, only to go back and realise it's shit. i'm aiming at about 20 chapters, each with a page or two of basic info, before branching out into sub-sections and descriptions, along with a little anecdote or two.

I'll do the third draft backwards which should theoretically even things out.

once you've polished up the first chapter, the tendency is to think that the others look shoddy by comparison, so you end up tweaking them and adding bits that really aren't needed. my plan is to get the bones of each chapter down, then go back and fill out each one.

The original novel, the first draft, has been completely rewritten with the exception of the first chapter. Which still has the remnants of the boring, adolescent ranty shit in it, and given that the first will ultimately be the most important chapter it needs to run through well and be interesting enough to keep the people going the first 6 or so chapters until any intersting shit happens.

it doesn't really have a story to follow, it's just a series of self-contained little pieces.
EDIT: i'm off to bed. g'night!
