Ill-informed rantings and half-baked theories from someone who should know better.

If I had a daughter she would definitely be this highly strung.
In lieu of a Friday q and a post* I present this magnificent video sent to me by my friend Sid, who said 'This is how I reacted the day Simon Crean was ousted.'
108 days til the next election.
*I do apologise about this, but I've been having such a time of it in Byron I haven't much felt like sitting at the laptop. Please don't begrudge me my happiness.
Also: Piers Ackerman thinks what I do is 'funny' and 'supports' me. This is almost reason enough to throw in the towel completely.
Jesus, if Piers said that I'd be contemplating a career in podiatry. You surely broke into a cold sweat when you heard that!
Enjoy your break in Byron, I haven't got time to read the entire length of your Q&As so I can't imagine the time needed to write it. Please say hello to the Byron shire for me, I miss it. *waves* *blows kisses*
1. Do you agree with publishing types who argue that the most difficult reading audience to reach is the young (teens to 20s or so) male audience, who on the whole don't read as many (fiction) books as their female counterparts, and thus an author who could engage with that market would be hot property indeed?
2. That reminds me, have you read Chuck Palahniuk's new book, "Rant"? Most entertaining thing I've read all year, hilarious and very dark.
3. Are you sick of being told how hot you are yet?
I find it traumatic enough that my 2 year old daughter recognises John Howard from the teve and responds to the image by stating "That's John Howard" and doesn't know him by some other witty nickname (although I'm getting sick of people calling the would be evil-overlord fuzzy eyebrowed mutated Menzies clone a cunt, as vaginas are nice, useful and not hideously ugly.

I can't see that. Mind you, last week this computer wouldn't let me see your blog at all, and I panicked a bit.
Piers Akerman I always think is like Andrew Bolt, only without the soppy left-wing bias.
Also, he looks like he sits up all night gorging himself on honey-coated pig's heads.
When he says he thinks what you do is funny and supports you, does he mean your professional activities, or your personal life? How intimate is Piers getting here?
Word verification: dyispj - the sound one makes upon hearing that Piers Akerman supports one.
One of my many talents is prediction. One of my posts that went through to the keeper asked the question, who will support fits in her tennis match against the child her who cannot be named? . Interesting to read pricked is positioning him
Seems to me you have a slightly bulimic approach to the Friday Q&A's, and I'm here to help.
Instead of gorge-and-purge, look deeply and see the motivations of your writers. Yes of course it's because they love you and hang on your every word, but apart from that, it's because they like to bask in your reflected glory. So you can save a lot of time by getting one of those spam sentence generators (haven't they been the biggest boon to poets) and generating a random sentence fragment in response to each post.
For example, in response to this post you can write: "How long have you known? she d Since they joined us. They are Of course not. Why didnt you t I should?"
I would still read your response and think what a quirky genius you are, and feel that thrill of being responded to, just like I do now.
Happy to help. If you need any more advice, just signal.
Noice to hear you are enjoying the Bay of Byron. I do wish Piers would catch a bit of your sensitive and intelligent bulimic approach for his commenters though. (He still has a blog, right?)
Have you heard of/do you like the works of The Decemberists? They have a slightly olde worldy poetica style to them. With lines like Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow, I will come on the breath of the wind. they do it for me anyway.
Can I self promote this? I'm quite happy with it but require the approval of strangers to vindicate you see.
*yawn*

Piers a bit scary!

I fear if i have children that they will end up acting like that little girl. Except with better taste in politicans.
ReplyDeleteJesus, if Piers said that I'd be contemplating a career in podiatry. You surely broke into a cold sweat when you heard that!

Here's some questions:
ReplyDelete1. Do you agree with publishing types who argue that the most difficult reading audience to reach is the young (teens to 20s or so) male audience, who on the whole don't read as many (fiction) books as their female counterparts, and thus an author who could engage with that market would be hot property indeed?
2. That reminds me, have you read Chuck Palahniuk's new book, "Rant"? Most entertaining thing I've read all year, hilarious and very dark.
3. Are you sick of being told how hot you are yet?
let's see us some answers, missy!
Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteA kindred spirit. My mother will be comforted to know that I wasn't the only child to have a tantrum over an exiting politician.
John Cain.
*sighs*
Bracksy.
*sighs again*
Thwaites
*assumes foetal position*
Just wondering...
ReplyDeleteIf you had a daughter, could I father it?
more importantly, fits, DID YOU SEE THE GLOW WORMS WHEN YOU WERE ON MT TAMBO?

ReplyDeleteIt's a matter of public record that I felt the same about Sheeds.

Instead of filming her, couldn't they have just smothered her with a pillow instead?
