Good day, mr F-to da-L-to da-E-to da-A I'm at my ma's downloading any music being spammed here today ;) I'll be getting yours soon as I'm through listening to Johnny "Tony" Hawk's stuff :D.. Anyways, I'm sans internet at my pad since my telephone got cut off after they discovered I was using it for an illicit PhoneSex business :( I've just been reading a lot, and playing my NES emulator, and working on my final UK project--it's going to be a 30 minute ambient piece featuring samples of nature, urban life, and little pieces and loops by me--should be finished for Christmas-- apart from that, I've just been working on dusting off my braincells--I think all the time I spent online was rotting my brain (f'r reals) So now, like Travis Bickle, I'm gonna get organisized and defeat all the enemies of Humanity! ;) Well, I'm learning Italian and Spanish, plus brushing up on my Algebra and Chess--good things for keeping my brain active :D So, if you fancy an online game of chess sometime (after the new year), I'm up for it--I'm not very good tho, so be warned :) Now it's your turn to tell me what's been happening over there in .nu zealand :) |

hello, marlowe... ever got anything with that label idea you had? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well mainly destroying my braincells on the web..whats left is destroyed by making harsher and harsher and crunchier and crunchier loops...(I have spared the board those monstrosities:) ) looking for work...not getting any..failed suicide attempt...wife's taking a break away from me..leaving me to wallow in my madness...you know the usual... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe! i need help ! i have lost my reading interest :( what to do? i just can't concentrate on any book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yipes, sounds hectic--I myself have only just returned from madness, both inner and domestic, so I can empathise with you--if I spy any erratic posts from you, I'll nod my head with sagacity, cross myself, and move on :) Anyway, a bout of insanity is always good for intensifying the music-making process... Kaimo--the record label is on hold until I travel the Atlantic Ocean, and set up residence in Arizona, USA--where I will re-ignite it, and send it burning into the world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Erk! Sounds harsh mate (like your tracks ;) ). I hope you're okay... Neetta: If you've lost your interest in something, don't bother pursuing it out of habits sake. Do something that interests you now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neetta, I recommend you come and live under my Christmas Tree, where I will read aloud to you from Children's Books written in the 1930s until you are drenched in an orgiastic spasm of reading fervour...then we can levitate to the top of the tinselled be-baubled tree and you will read for 40 days and 40 nights, at which time, the daemon of Non-Reading will be exorcised and once more, you will love to read. So Be it. :) (:-X-:) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
You come into my thread and don't even say hello to me Ceri! :( How rude! :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now i see! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try something fragmented and distorted that doesnt need too much attention for long periods of time..like maybe a book of poems or my favourite anything by Burroughs..Irvine Welsh with his little snipetty anecdotes works as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I am fine..recovering....thanks:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if there is kitchen and a bathroom under your christmas three, paul, then i will come |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
christmas III! it strikes again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'd assumed we were good enough friends that you would be able to pick up my telepathic greeting I sent you when I saw this thread. Hello! In case you didn't get it :) Neetta: I'm having a similair difficulty reading although I am still interested in it. At the moment I'm reading a collection of short sci-fi stories from the 50s... very good as I can read one before sleep each night- they're only about 7-9 pages long each. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i blame too much lovecraft in a row but i'll try reading my national geographic magazines today for a new start |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm having a kitchen and bathroom installed in the Christmas Tree stand right now--Santa's Elves are doing it on the cheap (they're on strike for a 40 present pay rise *ahem*) Just watch out for falling Festive Ornaments--I'll organise a protective covering for you, so they won't strike you about the head :P Ceri--you must be using MSN Telepathy--I only just got your ESP greeting a moment ago :D On this reading thing--I'm up to about 150 pages per day, which is OK--not too much, not too little-I imagine as we get older, and stop making sense (oh wait, that's a Talking Heads lyric)--as we get older, and have less time to read, our reading skills/brain atrophies a little (unless your job involves reading of course)--but I found, since my net went down (and I've 'discovered' more time), that I've been a far more willing reader, and have been enjoying it as much as I did as when I was 18 or 19 or so. And, I've been reading gradually more and more over the past month :) It's just a little theory, so don't sue me :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wont sue you for the theory but the lenght of that sentence ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which is rather strange..because we are spending hours on the mb..where we are doing nothing but read..hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe that's a key to it! People can only handle snippets--small posts--when confronted by a page of paragraphs, their minds rebel! Neetta-since reading more, I've found that I must also write long paragraphs of eloquence :P I cannot resign myself to just 'scribbling' off a post of one line and 7 words--I must indulge myself in a lengthy paragraph or two! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay Savage man..it's 2.30 am and I gotta crash...post a message about approx the next time you will be on and I will try and be here:).... hope it all works out..cheers:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, now i understand it. my reading capacity is used up while reading your posts, so i can't understand long sentences in other places anymore! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably around the same time tomorrow :D I go to my mum's when my wife is working to practice on the piano :) Neetto--I'm sorry if I am contributing to your overloaded reading capacity! I will try to limit myself, but I fear I shall not be able! Why not read a Poe short story to get you back into the swing of things?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i just read complete poe few months ago :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, the problem is this: i have to attend a literature competition soon, and for that i have to write an essay. how can i write one if i haven't been able to read for weeks before it!?!? i need professional help on this one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do you have to do for this competition exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a brilliant literature essay of a book or a certain writer or a novel or or or about 10 pages of text it has to have some new points of view etc etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds pretty fun--have you chosen a subject or a book? I could think of a few or each I would have fun writing about :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a few ideas but they are all dying out :( i love the great russian writers so i was thinking of writing about nikolai gogols 'dead souls'. its just so hard to find a good point of view. i have also thought of this finnish writer leena krohn who has very original stuff (no point for you to read her since the magic of it lies in the language partly, so the translations can't be good, otherwise i'd send you a email bomb if you wouldn't read) but i don't know. i have to think of something clever and inspirating |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Great Russian writers? For the love of God woman, do one on "Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" by Vladimir Nabokov, it is the best book ever written! (In my not so humble opinion). There is so much you could write about that book... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh :) i'll check the local library for this one also, mihail bulgakovs master and margarita is on my list. but the russian works are so... so... many-meaning (can't find a word for this, sowwy) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"many-meaning (can't find a word for this, sowwy)" Multi-faceted? layered? Of great depth? I know what you mean, for a "clumsy" (by that I don't mean any offence- I mean it doesn't sound pleasant, German, Welsh and English are other examples) sounding language its literature seems o have a lot of depth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of great depht is a good phrase thanks the russian culture is so different. it's finlands neighbour but it seems like a whole different planet for me :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'ello paul.. there you are! got your e-mail, be sending you the cd-r sometime this week. sounds like all you do is read. what bliss. hey, you were going to mail me some of your own work..? still like to read it. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe, u are what i call a cunt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
welcome back ;o, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know the nearest I can think of is polish or perhaps ukrainian, but both those seem miles away too... Marlowe: BTW I've been reading more of your story about that preacher, it's getting pretty good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I'm what you call a cunt, then no wonder you have no success with women--try looking between a woman's legs--now THAT's what I would call a cunt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh that's cool Ceri--I was hoping SOMEONE who I sent it to would read it ;) I've started work on a new project--it's going to (hopefully) be a 3rd novel, and will encompass lots of clashing mythos systems--from ancient beings to Quantum stuff--bit vague right now, I'm working on fitting all the elements together :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hello Marlowe, nice to see you. Miss seein' you around here. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's not enough Marlowe around here anymore! It's distressing, depressing, and upsetting. I learned a lot about the real Marlowe in Renaissance Literature, that guy was one cool cat... the James Bond of playwrights. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

MAR L O W E where da hell are ye......getting ready to move to the NEW land i hope =0) ummmm i gotta get busy with the novella of yours *feels guilty* hope you're well DOOD! and getting all my gaming emails =0) |

Hello PopPickers--it's your erstwhile leader of the resistance here, in hiding after being linked to both Chechen rebels AND the al-qaeda--I've sought refuge in a public library, as I understand there is little chance of Police officers being in one. Well, Ophecks, yes, Christopher Marlowe was an interesting fellow, say what--a flouncing queer and stabbed to death I believe? LeCoeur, I am just waiting for my visa--apparently something has arrived in the US that means I can go back now, but my wife's family have been reticent to e-mail us back with any details, preferring to let us stew in our Juices of Expectancy--send me a personal e-mail instead of one of your spam mails, humourous as they are ;) Anyone who wants to play online or e-mail chess with me, let me know: the_23_illuminati@hotmail.com OverAndOut! |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
E-mail me then, biatch! I'm geared up and fully armed with immense chess knowledge! I've even studied the entire championship match of Kasparov Vs Short '93 :P so email me, since the only emails I get are either junk mail or from Yavo and Qrtr |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good ta see ya back mate :) |
||||||||
|
|

Unlike eminem, I'm not back, just dipping my toe into the ocean of xltronic, deciding it's too cold, and returning to the bottom of my Xmas tree to read #7 in the Swallows And Amazons series |

You go girl! ;) |
