0795283 Where would tourism be without a little luxury and a taste of night life? There were several cities on Deanna, all moderate in size, but the largest was the capital, Atro City. For the connoisseur of fast-foods, Albrechts' famous hotdogs and coldcats were sold fresh from his stall (Albrecht's Takeaways) on Lupini Square. For the sake of his own mental health he had temporarily removed Hot Stuff Blend from the menu. The city was home to Atro City University, which taught everything from algebra and make-up application to advanced stamp collecting; and it was also home to the planet-famous bounty hunter - Beck the Badfeller. Beck was a legend in his own lifetime. If Deanna had any folklore, then Beck the Badfeller was one of its main features. He was the local version of Robin Hood, the Davy Crockett of Deanna. The Local rumor mill had it he was so good he could find the missing day in a leap year. Once, so the story goes, he even found a missing sock. story life all and application atro badfeller beck blend capital coldcats crockett davy deanna fast-foods features for from had lifetime local make-up menü mill moderate once planet-famous size sock square stall taught the there was were missing year where he collecting of hood to little luxury bounty goes everything city folklore university Christina Engela
ebbf616 Human artistic expression is blessedly, refreshingly nonessential. That's exactly why I love it so much.

It means we still have space left in our civilization for the luxuries of imagination and beauty and emotion - and even total frivilousness. Pure creativity is magnificent expressly because it is the opposite of everything else in life that's essential or inescapable (food, shelter, medicine [...]). Pure creativity is something better than necessity; it's a gift. It's the frosting. be-creative dare-to-be-pointless frivilous frivilousness making-art luxury make-art create creativity Elizabeth Gilbert
