Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Not bad. I produced ten pages of prose yesterday and two today. I'm going to go transcribe onto the machine shortly. FICTIONMACHINEGO!

Good. How are you writting them? Do you have them tacked to the walls of the room and write on them from the ceiling to the floor, pausing only for coffee and the occasional sandwich from the local corner store?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:49 / 07.09.07
GOD, I wish. I'm mostly hunching over a little moleskine notebook until my shoulders ache, scribbling with a pen until my wrists hurt. Mostly in coffee shops, then I transcribe them onto the computer, wishing I had a bottle of wine to make the whole process more "fluid." And I read bits and pieces of other stuff while I do it, like a Tom Robbins book at the moment. Another Roadside Attraction.

My goodness you blessful artist fellows or fellarinos, how you shame me with your creativity, why I should be doing.... one of many potential plans that I never followed through.

Who has any ideas for the spare time of a drunken lateshifing type down on their luck?

Lateshift! Talk to me, you handsome devils! I'm feeling great, how are you?

A bit drunk. Alone. Guilty.

Should go to bed really. I have to get up in the morning and go to my Mum's, but I so enjoy late night drinking. And - perhaps sadly - I'm happy enough to do it alone.
 
 
Essential Dazzler

Drunk, Alone, Gulity?

Me too!

Stay Here forever!

I'm, you know, around and about. Glad to hear you had a good day, Pacific, even if it was sans Haloquin.

I just got done watching the adapted-from-a-videogame anime Fate/stay night, which sorely shows its roots, but is nonetheless addictive as hell. Interesting magical themes too with some halfway convincing stuff about visualisation and a mildly alarming bit of impromptu sex magic at one point. It's not a keeper but it's worth a look.

Also, Boboss, you said you felt yourself noble, for posting in the Gurren Lagann thread, but no such post exists!
 
 
Essential Dazzler
22:50 / 08.09.07
Transfer, you are just a sponge aren't you? I have to spend ages planning exactly how I'm going to fit stuff into my schedule, even though I'm unemployed.

You appear to just just absorb series through touch or something.

I was talking about the Wire.

A post exists therein
 
 
Essential Dazzler
22:57 / 08.09.07
Ah, I see. The Wire is next on my list of things to watch when I'm feeling down, and has been for a good few months since I read about it here, I was just excited that I'd finally gotten someone to look at an anime thread.
 
 
Spaniel
23:00 / 08.09.07
I'm just wondering whether the Wire is something to watch when you're feeling down... I would say yes because it's so goddamn beautiful even if it is rather alot tragic. And, Christ it is transporting.

Boboss is a grown-up, unlike us anime fans, Pacific. He watches real TV shows exclusively, perhaps while drinking a single malt whisky.

I try to cover both territories, but it's a lot of work, which is why my posts in our Wire thread are all kinda lame. Annyway, no need to feel down about our anime coverage as Bleach is going nova right now.

By the way I'm stalking your reading matter, as I just borrowed several volumes of Y: the Last Man from the library today. Who knew?

(Barbelith really is great)

That wasn't a dig incidentally. Not that you thought so. Fuck off, insecurity.
 
 
Essential Dazzler
23:05 / 08.09.07
I want to hug all of you!
 
 
Spaniel
23:07 / 08.09.07
Hey, don't worry.
 
 
Essential Dazzler
23:07 / 08.09.07
Apart from Boboss, he better watch Gurren-Lagann before I talk to him.

Good luck with Y, Transfer, it is very depressing. I would say it is ultimately positive, but I won't find out if it is until January

(Looks at atlas) 250-mile-spanning group hug! Plus alcohol! Who could deny such a thing?
 
 
Spaniel
23:09 / 08.09.07
You better watch the Wire, cockyish"
 
 
Mysterious Transfer Student
23:11 / 08.09.07
Three words. Lester. Motherfucking. Freamon.

He is my role model.
 
 
Spaniel
23:14 / 08.09.07
Good God, he's our bloody father and teacher
 
 
Essential Dazzler
23:15 / 08.09.07
Well, I think he's poo!
 
 
Spaniel
23:18 / 08.09.07
Thank God that at this moment I'm so much more interested in Kate Bunch.

I have recently come to understand that Kate Bush and Brian Eno should be best friends
 
 
Spaniel
23:18 / 08.09.07
That would be bush and not bunch
 
 
Mysterious Transfer Student
23:24 / 08.09.07
Kate Bunch sounds horrifically like one of those awful thesping Mercury-friendly singers who plague us of late.

I think we should take a moment to enjoy the thoroughly British demographic of this shift, which is normally under the dominion of North Americans, plus maybe Stoatie.
 
 
Spaniel
23:27 / 08.09.07
We will because we are always drunk
 
 
Spaniel
23:28 / 08.09.07
"will", of course, equals "win"

As swift karmic retribution for my bout of chauvinism, I have just endured a painful coughing fit brought on by Falcon's posting of this. (Behind an extra link for safety.)
 
 
Spaniel
23:33 / 08.09.07
Yes, I fucking hate him

God good, though, I love Debbie Harry.

French Kissing in the USA is fucking fronting my wedding.

It is a shame that ladies like chocolate, because I am now left with a desert I must force myself upon. If only chocolate was for us men as well.
 
 
Spaniel
23:41 / 08.09.07
How hateful
 
 
Essential Dazzler
23:43 / 08.09.07
I'm sorry, I'm just wolfing a chocolate concoction that is too large to be appropriately gendered
