My activity in blogworld has been nil the past few days. No new posts,no surfing for the witty and the profane,no commenting on the witty and the profane. A sad week for everyone involved.
I have some good built-in excuses:actually doing work while at the office,trying to write fiction in the ever-dwindling space called “free time,”and the first inklings of a virus that has felled many acquaintances with symptoms that have included “catatonic,”“near death,”and “too exhausted to get out of bed for bowel movements.”
Get me rewrite
It’s one of those dragging illnesses in which I find even the thought of each keystroke wearying. Fuckdladkdafnoi4ieoraevnakgrh3oierf……………………
The Lazlo letters were the most fun I’ve had in this whole blogging endeavor (even if Wife reads them with a stone face and critical eye),but I’ve had no desire to continue them or even respond to the nice comments to them. I’m just too tired. I close my eyes at my desk and see beds with feather mattresses. I blast high-volume,no brain heavy metal music to stay awake. Inject the coffee into my veins,please. Please.
There are “real”writers who fashion something of fiction every single day (no bookfrauds they),a habit I usually associate with dead white men like Graham Greene or Kingsley Amis. Of course,there are living,non-white,female writers who hunker down every day,but I can’t think of any right now. Maybe because Greene and Amis are Brits,they get automatic passes to the roll of Great Writers.
Will be 100% YAY EXCITED TO BE ALIVE AND WRITING THANK YOU FOR MY HEALTH by Friday,I hope.
I’m going to pass out now.
was wondering where you were.
Get well soon BF
ps. it appears your blog has developed a “split personality”!!
Take your time. We all need a break from this from time to time.
I totally understand. I’ve spent the last 3 days busting my ass on landscaping and haven’t blogged all night and day like I usually do.
It was a nice break,actually.
wow,i’m flattered by the nice comments. hope to be back in the World of Blog soon.
In the words of the Great Lazlo:
Support our president! Fight! Fight! Fight!
I took 2 weeks off to move to my new place. Simultaneously,the break helped clear out the cobb webbs in my head. It may do just the same for you! Feel better…
I hope you’re better soon.
I loved “Plowing The Secondaries,”thanks for the recommendation.
Working at the office? What were you thinking? This is more serious than I thought. Get back to regular writing it will help you kick this potent variant of the swine flu you seem to have contracted…
Hope you get some good,restful sleep. ’til soon!
what about you b.f.
ever read john fante?
I said take your time but I didn’t really mean it.
WAKE UP!!!
How about if I flashed you?

~knees:the webs are cobbed out. break from blogging is a break from drinking —needed,but painful.
~rocket:glad you liked “Plowing the Secondaries.”I thought it would be right up your alley. Whalebone,dude.
~kerouaced:excellent advice! it’s nice to know you care. really. I love you,man.
~glizty:i’ve gotten sleep —none of it good nor restful. maybe all that NyQuil;gotta cut down.
~tblue:never read john fante,though you’re not the first to ask. yet another on the list.
~cedia:i would have played dead a long time ago if i knew you were gonna flash me. Yes!
i’m back from the dead…
Re your last para:don’t know why they make literary criticism so complicated,when it all comes down to which country you live in!
This post is making a mess of your blog. I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that your sidebar is pushed way down,which I’m sure you probably noticed. If you go into Blogger Dashboard,click on your blog name,click on edit posts,choose your post called Dragging Asssssss,scroll down where it says,“Fuckdladkdafnoi4ieoraevnakgrh3oierf……………………………………………………………………”and delete some of the dots so it isn’t so long,click publish. That should fix it. Sorry if I am telling you something you already know. And you are feeling well now aren’t you?
