The Audi Q7 V12 TDI is set to launch, and it’s just the thing to give that annoying neighbor with his fancy VW Touareg V10 TDI a debilitating inferiority complex. 500 horsepower and approximately enough torque to counter-rotate the Earth (758 lb-ft) come standard on Audi’s diesel monster. 21-inch wheels mask carbon ceramic brakes, LED running lamps help light the way, and the interior is a festival of dead cow, TV screens, and Alcantara, all trimmed neatly in aluminum and carbon fiber. I don’t care what people say, this car’s a beauty!

Commentary:

I’ve been meaning to post about this movie sooner, but I just found out that the trailer had been released.

I can’t wait for it to come out. It looks very promising. I’m a huge fan of Meryl, Phillip, Amy, and Viola! Meryl’s acting is just spectacular. The Oscar buzz surrounding this pic is growing at an exponential rate.

The last 40 seconds of the trailer are amazing. Loved the music used in it.

Starting a Writers Workshop

Hey everyone.. I decided to start an online writers workshop. I’ve come up with a task that was inspired by some projects on fictionpress.com

For the first task, I thought we’d start out with rewriting a nursery rhyme, fairy tale or fable into a short story, imitating your favorite author’s style. The genre doesn’t really matter. You can choose to write a drama, comedy, thriller, or horror.

The point is to let your imaginations run wild, and try not to limit yourselves.

I really do have high hopes for this project, and I’d really like all readers to join in. 🙂
