Real Life
Real life is a phrase used originally in literature to distinguish between the real world and fictional, virtual or idealized worlds, and in acting to distinguish between actors and the characters they portray. It has become a popular term on the Internet to describe events, people, activities, and interactions occurring offline; or otherwise not primarily through the medium of the Internet. It is also used as a metaphor to distinguish life in a vocational setting as opposed to an academic one, or adulthood and the adult world as opposed to childhood or adolescence. As distinct from fiction When used to distinguish from fictional worlds or universes against the consensus reality of the reader, the term has a long history: In her 1788 work, '' Original Stories from Real Life; with Conversations Calculated to Regulate the Affections, and Form the Mind to Truth and Goodness'', author Mary Wollstonecraft employs the term in her title, representing the work's focus on a middle-cla ...

Laughter (The Mighty Lemon Drops Album)
''Laughter'' is the third studio album by English rock group The Mighty Lemon Drops. Released on Chrysalis/ Sire in 1989, the album was the band's first to feature David Newton as the primary songwriter, as co-writer and bassist Tony Linehan quit early during the recording sessions. The album contains the hit U.S. modern rock singles "Into the Heart of Love" and "Where Do We Go From Heaven". Background and recording The Mighty Lemon Drops, feeling wrongly pigeonholed from their previous works as a "doom and gloom" band, decided in early 1989 to name their new album ''Laughter'' to reflect the group's shift in musical direction and to distance themselves from other bands with whom they had often been compared. Guitarist and songwriter David Newton explained, "There's definitely more lightness as opposed to all the dark stuff we've done. We wanted to lose all that. People are really amazed when they hear us. The press would lead you to believe that the only reason we exist is bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Real World?
''The Real World?'' is a 1987 play written by Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay. Originally written in French, under the title ''Le Vrai Monde?'', it was later translated into English by John Van Burek and Bill Glassco. It is about a young playwright named Claude who writes his own mother and father into his first play.

''The Real Wurld?'', a Tron Theatre production of a translation of the play into contemporary Scots by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman, was staged as part of Glasgow Mayfest in 1991.
