commercial parody: Divine Justice by David Baldacci

Hey friends,

This is a parody of an ad that I saw for one of Mr. Baldacci's books, not a parody of him or his writing. The ad said, "David Baldacci is a master of plot, character, and dialogue" which seems like a selling point for a book, but really, when you think about it, that should be a prerequisite for any published author. Written for and workshopped in my Eric Drysdale's UCB Sketch 101 class. Let me know what you think.



Love,
nate

Hey friends,

New QLP, new format. How do you get over a break up? I share some advice that I've heard over the years...



In other news, I have had a sinus infection for a couple of weeks now and seem to be getting worse. I'm going to an ear, nose and throat doctor tomorrow. If you have any wisdom about sinus health, please share it.
