There is nothing more frustrating than a good concept gone bad. There is no worse failure than a rich idea half-realized.
A couple of officemates raved about 'Stranger than Fiction'. One of them was eager enough to lend me her DVD of the film.
I started to smile when Harold Crick started to hear the voice of Karen Eiffel. I was thrilled when, after getting no help from a psychologist, Harold sought the expertise of a Literature professor. I was ecstatic when Karen's phone rang as she typed that the phone would ring.
All the buildup was for nothing. The ride took me nowhere. In me was one big sayang.
