Heather accidentally bought a trashy American magazine today, instead of a British trashy magazine, an advert inside of which inspired today's blog title.
I also bought a collection of short stories by Virgina Woolf for a creative writing essay, as the library only has ONE FUCKING COPY, which is currently on loan, of course. That and Creative Writing Dundee, issue #3, with poetry by Tim Morris and James Stewart. I wasn't that keen on Jim's work, but I kinda liked Tim's, although it's pretty out there. You can see why he teaches American Modernist Poetry. Here's one of his poems, which isn't in Creative Writing Dundee, but which I just found on a random website (by searching for Tim Morris poetry on Google, if anyone is that interested):
"Then go back slowly after the travels,
once every longer and longer time;
for prevention is bodyweight,
and pound for pound this will help her,
flaring twice a day
under a chloroquine sky.
Skip the missed beat of injected
muscle, taking as little as the
sense of balance, bleeding inside the eyes;
until the next, do not remember,
to protect you, completely as unless is,
or other medicines. High, sever
disorders, are given in this way
for oral schedules, based average of
prescripted groups, even as the week's
missed dosage. No you completely."
Tim Morris is a pretty cool guy, he says "Gotcha!" and "Ah, c'est ca!" a lot, (although he only gave me a B something for American Literature last year, the git), so I can totally imagine him reading this aloud. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it...
I had to change my blog theme also, because I was keen to put links to Heather's blog on the sidebar but the last theme wouldn't allow that for some reason. Also over there on the right is a link to Ed's blog (some nice photography mixed with incessant, bamboozling rants about technology and computers), and a few sites that I frequently rip off/exploit.
To end today, here's an amusing video of John Lennon taking the piss out of a Swedish (or some sort of Scandinavian) person:
Ha ha, that was crazy :)
