What is this Brave New World?

It's always while we're sleeping that the most monumental changes slip through the gate!

I see Blogger has clickables now for mobile posting and email posting.

Tentacles! More tentacles! I really do think the internet is determined to become The Matrix lol.

Blogger, if you are handing out Christmas presents belatedly, I would like to be able to put audio files on my blog without having to join a third party site (I believe right now that's how you have to do it) where I (horrors!) pay for downloads even!

I want to be able to post audio files I have (some rare and unobtainable online) directly from my computer to Blogger.

Could you just be a little lamb and get to work on that, Blogger?

Thanks!

I am enjoying Amy Sedaris's I Like You (Hospitality under the Influence) again.

It's sort of a sendup of Martha Stewart's Entertaining but with a lot of typically effed up Sedaris humor thrown in (for example, she included actual recipes given to her by gypsies--like how to make a baked potato in a can of dirt over a fire).

And much alcohol and illegal substances help her to brainstorm...dangerously brainstorm.

I think David is very funny, but I think Amy has always been the funnier Sedaris.

Plus, this book is beautifully designed and the photographs are killer good.

Almost every weird item she includes in her strange photos is something I would also buy if I saw it in a thrift store or flea market(which is clearly where she found these items).

I thought that somebody was impersonating somebody I know last night on my blog and freaked out for about fifteen minutes only, but then realized this morning it might actually be the real person, so now I feel bad about freaking out at somebody else (they don't know...it was all in my head) who I thought was fucking with my head.

Well, here is the person...

This person knows both names for the person they may or may not be impersonating, which is unusual. But if it is the OTHER person (in Washington D.C.) he would be one of the few people who ALSO knows both names for this person because of past literary publishing intersections.

So, if you are who you say you are, middle of the night person: Hello. I hope you and yours are well.

Oh, and can you make me some Patrick Wolf-style remixes of a song set if I give you a link to a site where you can get the Amiga sounds? I know you would be able to do this easily. All the remixes today sound like songs you were making ten years ago. That must piss you off or make you smile lol.

And if you are NOT this person, and you are just imitating this person, you need to seriously get a life, person in D.C.

You can't tell by city always, because who knows where people's internet routes. Sometimes mine routes through Virginia, sometimes other states.

But IP can be used to nab a game player. And if I find out it's a game player, I will ask around and figure out who that IP address belongs to. And if it's an impersonator, I will write a series of sketches featuring you in various acts of bestiality. So there lol.

There.

Karma Repair kit.

Much better than the eyeglass repair kit you get at the checkout.

And even cheaper.

The garbagemen are here grabbing the cans and singing garbagemen Lieder.

Okay, the last part is a lie but the first part is a truth.

Call them dustmen in an annoying British affectation just to piss people off.

Like you live in a Blur song or something.

"Except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen."

How does Damon Albarn know what day my trash gets picked up!!?!
