“I just ate a thumbtack!”

Hah, Ralph.

1) Yesterday I finished my short story about a man who is visited by the ghost of himself. I still have to type it out so it will be a while before it’s posted.

2) I’m headed to Sydney on Saturday and am looking forward to seeing if my apartment hasn’t been burgled and reading the metric ton of letters and parcels waiting at work.

3) Chris finished his third hyperbaric chamber treatment and is back at work on light duties tomorrow. Bends schmends, he doesn’t even have brain damage.

4) If I could say ‘read this book’, I would say Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Part of me would want to say ‘Morvern Callar, provided you don’t listen to what it says on the back cover,’* but that book isn’t for everyone.

*In my experience, the back cover is often somewhat wrong about the book.

  1. Why are you reading books with covers in the first place? Those tattered, thrown by the wayside by the crazy people are where it’s at.

  3. Switch - I think I get the same effect from reading your site. But perhaps you could lend me one of them.

    Clare - Haven’t been bro’d for a while now. Feels… choice.
