Your poetry is very evocative, but I’m not sure of what.

Man, I remember the days when people didn’t know about my blog and I could bitch about them on it. Seriously. Good times. I have a whole list now, but I can’t use it. You should probably just assume you’re on it and treat me with more deference next time you see me.

Anyways, instead of ranting I just want to know if anyone else has read The Best Australian Poems 2009. There is a lot in there that just doesn’t make sense to me or seems crap. For example, what’s the deal with ‘Dark Bird’ by Kevin Hart? And is ∏.O.’s poem just a jumble of words or does it mean something? If you could help me with this stuff, I’d be grateful.

In other news, I still have no class. Of students, I mean. Not even relief classes. Bottle shop work is boring and there are a million cockroaches in that place. And now Centrelink wants me to take a class on writing a resume or something. Fuck that.

On a positive note, I have been able to spend my free time watching the TV show Weeds. Someone should have told me about it ages ago. It’s excellent. Funny, fast-paced, and with heaps of swearing. Not to mention Mary-Louise Parker, who now holds the special place in my heart formerly occupied by Tina Fey.

But really though, has anyone read that book?

  2. I haven’t read that book. I rather went off poetry some time ago. I should probably give it another chance but…meh…later.

    It’s worth taking the Centrestink class just to watch the staff go into shock when they view your rather extensive educational history.

  3. Hang in there dude, relief teaching will pick when dodgy people like me starting sickies in a few weeks.

  4. Eleesha - No, it’s not you…. mostly :P

    Shelley - Yeah, I thought of that. I wonder how it will go.

    Ross - Nice. You deserve some time off anyway, right?
