We Should See Other Blogs

The tendered email that never came
arrived today, too late.
Carriage returns, always the same:
post date cheque and mate.

Well. Chosen times don’t fit
bullshit tailored in arrears.
Your accountants quit
when you wrote off ten years.

The dented email didn’t arrive
in one piece. It ruined the day,
clattering, only half-alive:
you always get your way.

• The Affair of the Lone Banana… not a pretty story, I fear. Still, the BBC will buy this cheap trash! #
• I am speaking with a guy who sounds like Mr Eccles. Not even a joke. I feel like I'm part of the Goon Show this morning. #
• 13 calls so far this morning, and I've only been here for one hour. If you ask me, that's just cruel and unusual. #
• Remember, ladies and gents, aim for the head! #zombieoutbreakIA #

• And there goes my temporary crown. Nice timing, temporary crown. #
• The end of this work day seems determined to remain in the far, far distant future. #
• Cops in Ontario basically throw any charge the can at anyone they can. Careless driving for fender-benders? No wonder people hate cops. #
• If I could summarise my experience with Milestones in a nutshell it would be "503". #
• My friends (and wife) are sending out stuping reply-all emails again. Sheesh, get a chat room already! #

• So I've pretty much switched all my tv-watching to 720p. More data but looks nicer. Future-proofing a little, too. #
• I'll bet the use of the words "ill fated night" and "peppermint
  schnapps" correlate almost 1:1. #
• I highly doubt there will ever be as delightfully eclectic a collection of words as "Teenage", "Mutant", "Ninja", and "Turtles". #
• I'm calling the recession in Canada officially over. We're so freaking busy right now it's not even funny. Long work days ahoy! #

• I think the "invisible hand" of the market, specifically Wall Street, has given our collective nuts a good hard squeeze. Thanks, Mr Smith. #
• Today is performance reviews! Oh no, wait, that's in a different universe where this company has structure and sanity. #
• I can see our salesmen having real problems using Twitter, what with the word limits and all. #
• My last sip of coffee tasted like ass. I hope it's not one of those exotic coffees made with real bits of ass. #
• I like to work lone wolf style. For instance, right now I'm eating a gazelle. Badass. #
• Somewhere, cold and alone, the bubblewrap taxonomist labours in thankless obscurity. A modern-day hero. Thank you Mr Bubblewrap Man. #

• So… apparently "Who dipped her face in marmalade?" isn't the right thing to say to the newborn's mother. #
• In case any of you want to watch "Eastwick"… just don't. Paul Gross manages to salvage a few short moments, but the rest is dreck. #
• TBird Beta 4 has Awesome-bar-like functionality in the Email Address Bar. Finally! It pulls up the most used email addys first. #

• Dear Razorform… there is no such thing as worldwide patent protection. #

I will keep you like a hundred dollar bill
for a rainy day when there is nothing to do
but spend it inside in the safety of our living room
we’ve got some living to do.

Let’s not think about the emails to be read
and calls that pile up like bricks. Let’s build a wall
where only we can go and nobody can find us.
Leave the world behind us and while away the afternoon.

o. who knows where heart goes
throws fiery poetry and prose then
blows up and over

I am an undefined variable

She has internalised my
geometry

a novel written on
my face.

I am constantly full of
surprises

unwrapped.

Not certain how I feel
about this–

I should ask
her.
