Stars Thrown Dark and Lifeless

...with enough time, power down and die. The man had a new life to lead, slipping the golden pocket watch with peculiar circular designs absently into his pocket. It went with him everywhere. A keepsake. A knickknack. He paid no attention to it. (A perception filter. It might as well not exist unless someone pointed it out to him, and it would never hold his attention anyway.) Jim had asked about it...

.... "I mean, what in the world is this?" (you're gonna love this) (its a real treat) (a masterpiece) (wait for it) The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack.

... wake first and leave, but when they left their bedroom Brendon was awake and still there.  Still there and... cleaning . He jumped when he heard them behind him, almost but not quite dropping the knickknack he was compulsively dusting.  It was a china dog Ryan had bought at a flea market their second day in town. "I'm sorry," Brendon stammered, speed making him trip over his syllables. "I ...

...-consumerists need to consume. Ø   But in the end stuff is just stuff, and not important at all, at least that’s what I try to tell myself, then I see another super knickknack!

Truth be told, I'd rather get her something she wants a little late than some stupid knickknack on Mother's Day. However, I didn't even get her a card. I feel really stupid.

...he doesn’t look sixteen at all. More like a scrawny twenty. “What’re we supposed to be doing, anyway?” He speaks slowly, almost drawling, and reaches lazy fingers out to caress a sun-kissed leaden knickknack. As performed by an inherently sharp figure, the result is anything but lazy. Corbin bristles. “Yeah, like you don’t know. This is what, fourth scene down the page? Can we just get this over...

I should be...

I really should be packing, but if I wrap one more knickknack in newspaper I'm going to scream.  I hate packing.  It is one of the most annoying things on the planet, especially when half your house consists of things that mostly aren't yours.  I got a few paragraphs out last night.  Not much I know, but we're hoping to be out of this hell hole by the 13th, so we're packing quickly.  ...

As long as he kept the pressure on, she couldn’t win. -hack-hack-hack-hack-hack-hack-hack-hack- Riku: -Knickknack pattywack! Sora: Oh, so now we're playing a .hack game instead? Sora was about to go in for the final blow when he saw her face. She had a pleading, pathetic look. “Please! Don’t… kill…...

... in Kimono and other Japanese wear. So the first day I purchased the entire thing: Yukata, Geta, Tabi, Obi, and Hair Pins. We also bought large quantities of various items in the area like: knickknack's, dishes, anime, manga, posters, and t-shirts etc. Then we all went to this huge store called Marukai to buy alcohol mostly which is like a Japanese Target store. There I bought a beautiful bamboo ...
