I am a star, I am a lateshift

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:26 / 25.09.07
Autumn's hit the city in some lingersome manner, and I'm seated at my writing table, writing. Company? Babies emerging with dead men's voices? Atom-powered Robot-People with uranium hearts and plexiglass jaws? Is there anybody out there, listening in? Anybody in the audience? At all? Hello?

Im here. Ready to melt those uranium hearts and kick in some plexiglass jaws.

The Kinks' Autumn Almanack and a steady supply of whisky and coffee is getting me through the early-night crunch, but a lot of work to do is no excuse to ignore a perfectly good lateshift, so I won't.

What are you working on, Decadent?

Right now, the detective is ruminating on chimpanzee brothels following the discovery of a second chimp--drugged out and comatose.

Firing through the musical options.

It's weird that I always see the lateshift threads bumbed to the top at, like, early afternoon. My timezone is wacky!

My make-up is so dangerous that many Bothans died to bring it to me. Plus I hit a few more with my car on the way back from the supermarket, so the death toll continues to mount. Poor Bothans.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Lateshifts operate in some strange otherdimensional fluid space that transcends normal ideas about "late." IE: occasionally, the Brits fire one up while I'm contemplating a light lunch of aubergine, cantaloupe, and vodka.

Tuna Ghost, you are the crashing winnebago of chaos. Poor Bothans. They died for your cosmetics.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:24 / 25.09.07
Ilove the idea of cosmetics tested on bothans. Sorta gives you hope for the empire.

And yet, they still blow most of their money on miles-wide star destroyers. If they only had a proper sense of aesthetics. Darth Vader as Performance Artist.

Well I think that Noooooo! in ep 3 proved that he may be somethings but performance artist he aint.

Cleaning up someone's article as a (paid) favor, bouncing e-mails back and forth on weird Hollywoody stuff I probably should never be actually opining on but do with perverse delight, and explaining to someone why a certain production is good for them even if some very seedy, untrustworthy perverts are involved (and to just not do or agree to anything they come up with.

And I'm supposed to be reviewing my manuscript for any big notable flaws before shipping it out to people who will make decisions that may effect my life and neuroses for years to come.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:33 / 25.09.07
Venger, your name totally shatters the streamlined contours of the Barbelith experience. Cover your shame!

The NOOOO simply proves that he should have gone into opera. World-obliterating? Overrated as a career choice when you've got death scenes every night.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:35 / 25.09.07
The lateshift supports you in the your crusade against space perverts and the revisions process, Decadent. We feel your pain. But we don't "feel" them.

Really, the former Canada Cannon-wielding ought to break through. It's supertextual.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:39 / 25.09.07
You're supertextual.

(?)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:40 / 25.09.07
PS, here's a chunk of the new draft:

There was clearly no time to dally, even excluding the discovery of the drugged monkey. Was she to draw the conclusion that Pennington dealt weapons and drugs to apes? Did it even stop there, or was this all going to end in a brothel with sad-faced monkeys in soiled bridal gowns, fishnet stockings, crisp pink tearaway panties? Jack reeled, trying to focus herself on the sheaves of paper with academic itineraries on them. Who would Pennington be following now, where could she wrap her fingers around his neck? All she had to hold onto were half a dozen ridiculous questions. Templechurch. She'd have to tap Templechurch.

Both. And disorderly.

I was going to write 'orange' but is that supertextual or just neo-dadaist?

Orange.


Now, on a more serious note, is the third new Star Wars film worth watching in its entirety? I just realized today that I never bothered to.

Talking about rock stars I have a certain line from a song that has been ringing in my head today: Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstandings all you see......
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:46 / 25.09.07
Loving it sofar Papy.

Its worth watching only to the point that if you've wasted your time on the first two, might as well finish the job.

I am not supertextural!

Dahling, it's several hours of my life I will never get back. I envy your unblemished state.

Yeah star wars three is not worth the time.

Sorry I randomly interjected earlier with my random Beatles quote

So I think I'll avoid Ep III unless severely impaired by a protective influx of alcohol.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:55 / 25.09.07
Nah, I saw watch Ep III. Just make sure its not Ep III of Star Wars. Any other Ep3 is a much more rational choice.
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
03:55 / 25.09.07
That is a good choice. I went to see it for free but I still thought it was a waste of my time.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:57 / 25.09.07
I paid good money to see it and complained that it was a waste of Artist Formerly Known as JerDW's time. That's how horrid it is.
Although the lava scenes were cool.
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:02 / 25.09.07
So that's why I got two responses back from my complaints. I was wondering about that. Thanks for that, I got two refunds even though I never paid to go see it.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:03 / 25.09.07
No worries.

oh, I also sent Lucas death threats on your behalf too.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:05 / 25.09.07
Make no apologies for lyrical interludes, Artist. I have a sudden impulse to acquire "Strawberry Fields."

The movie is, utterly, an atrocity against cinema.
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:06 / 25.09.07
So you were also responsible for me having to move? Several times. Across the ocean.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:11 / 25.09.07
Yes. Yes I was. You're welcome.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:13 / 25.09.07
Don't pretend like you didn't want to see the other side of the world. He was doing you a favour.

04:13 / 25.09.07
I wish I could just break into song randomly like in the movies and not feel social pressure to stop. I also wish that gang members would solve their problems with song and snapping fights
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:15 / 25.09.07
That is true. I did get to see the very rural parts of Europe that I would not have seen otherwise. Although it was suspicious that an American would randomly go to live in a town of 200 people in the middle of Europe
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:15 / 25.09.07
I grocery shopped with Armand Van Helden playing on my iPod today. I have to say, things are way better with an appropriate soundtrack.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:17 / 25.09.07
They dont? Well that explains why I always get the crap beaten out of me. Im left, bleeding on the sidewalk, mumbling "the fingers...didnt you see the snapping?" Oh well. At least, in their laughter as they walk away, I know I've made a difference.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:17 / 25.09.07
Perhaps you should have bitten your thumb at them, sir.
