I have an Ipod shuffle, and I was running quite late for my first day of work, which is always not good. I was listening to it and Under Pressure randomly came on. I thought it was very approriate.

I had an Ipod shiffle and my mom's voice came through the earphones yelling at me to get a wife cause she wants grandkids. I curse those people that gave her a record deal.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:21 / 25.09.07
What are you talking about? Your mum's a mainstay of the Canadian music scene. I hear she's touring with Alanis soon.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:22 / 25.09.07
No. Alanis is touring with her. As she reminds me. Constantly.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:24 / 25.09.07
So, is it. Like, true? You know. About your mum and Bruce Cockburn.

04:25 / 25.09.07
Wow the Canadian scene is hopping. When is your mom's next tour with Avril Lavigne?
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:27 / 25.09.07
NO. Why does everybody keep thinking that? Sheesh. I told her to get that tattoo removed.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:29 / 25.09.07
Oh Avril wishes! My dog wouldnt even tour with her if her pockets were filled with bacon.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:30 / 25.09.07
But that thing about her an Anthrax. Yeah, that true. I have the video.
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:31 / 25.09.07
I can't understand why. She steals other peoples songs and then comes up with a huge piece of shit
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:38 / 25.09.07
Yeah, but thats what she does. Cause she PUNK!!! dammit!
More punk even than Billy Idol!
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:40 / 25.09.07
Oh I forgot, because she is punk, it is okay for her to come up with music that murders your ears.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:41 / 25.09.07
You just dont get punk, do you?
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:43 / 25.09.07
I decided to subject myself to deep pain and look up the music video for her classic song sk8ter boi and it sure is a classic. It starts off with

He was boy
she was a girl
can I make it anymore obvious
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:44 / 25.09.07
I guess I don't. I am just not hip and cool and rebellious. I bet my 10 year old sister could write better lyrics though
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:44 / 25.09.07
That's called genius. Cause she cant make it anymore obvious. And we know it and she knows we know it and she knows we know she knows we know it. Its rather obvious.
 
 
This Sunday
04:45 / 25.09.07
You just dont get punk, do you?

To be fair, neither does she.

But the X-Ray Spex tracks on my Shuffle give me street cred in that dept.

No, really...

I did not realize how intellectual Avril Lavigne is. I think her punk attitude and her misspelling of the title is a way of rebelling against the societal pressure to conform to certain norms. She is changing these norms by pointing out that such things that we thought were obvious are really not.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:47 / 25.09.07
On the brighter side, it's now the season for mulling wine. I should do that.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:50 / 25.09.07
Oooh. Yes. My local brewing supply shop has just got a kit for chocolate orange port that Im dying to try.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Danger, danger! We may have drone infection on aisle four.

and speaking of wine, I think its time I hit my last glass of the evening and settle down infront of the tc to watch Prison Break.

G'night all. S'bin fun.

Mmmmm I have not had wine in a while. Here in the US it is too expensive for my budget (Olde English is the beverage of champions). When I was in France this summer, however, I drank wine all the time and it was so good.
 
 
This Sunday
04:52 / 25.09.07
I like chocolate, oranges and port but something in my brain is preventing me from even conceiving of linking them together into one experience.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:52 / 25.09.07
I've got a pack of special mulling spices somewhere in the cupboard. I just need to get a bottle of wine and some orange juice. Tragically, it's too late to accomplish this particular feat tonight, but sometime this week...
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:53 / 25.09.07
Perhaps linking the three will open a door for you, Decadent? To some higher plane?

On the other, dare you call yourself "decadent" if you can't link them?
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:54 / 25.09.07
That all sounds good. I wish I had some of that stuff in my fridge right now that I could drink. All I have is some Yuengling beer and a bit of Southern Comfort.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
04:55 / 25.09.07
I'd kill for some chocolate right about now.
 
 
Jot Evil Rules During Weddings
04:57 / 25.09.07
I would kill for some good vodka right now. I have not had good vodka in a while
 
 
This Sunday
05:00 / 25.09.07
The reason I can't link them, is the very same reason as to why I must try them. At once.

Though I suppose just throwing all three in a blender isn't exactly what's called for, so it may be a bit before I can experience such door-opening delights and meet the Elder Gods of orangey chocolatey portiness.

Well I think that I am off to bed, I have to wake up to do work tomorrow morning unfortunately. Goodnight!
 
 
This Sunday
05:17 / 25.09.07
Night.

I should probably knuckle down for a bit on the manuscript, actually. But if I post that I'm leaving for the night, I know I'll wander back on, so...
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:23 / 25.09.07
Best left unsaid, doors left open, hearts left broken...

I'm wavering. I've shut down the second draft for the evening, knowing full-well that I probably won't get a phone call to go in to work tomorrow so I can do some more tapping and typing when I wake up and roll -- roll, I say -- out of bed. Onto the floor. In my underwear. Sleep-starved and still dream-processing. But I can start writing right away.

I hear that's how Salinger does it.

When my hard drive died and took all my writing with it, I figured I'd just give up. I had most of a trashy fantasy novel in there, along with bits of my more serious work, and rewriting that seemed like too much. But fuck it, if I'm a writer then I'm a writer and if I'm not then I'm not.
