Blimey! You're back. Sort of.

Joyeux Noël à vous aussi!

Sort of? Sort of!

What does that mean? Do I have to mock Philip K or something to be back?

Or something more politically pointed, you neo-liberalist you

You must admit, dear lady, that you're not the most consistent of bloggers.

For two months I've been returning to this blog every few days, in a pathetic triumph of hope over dismal disappointment, only to find spam for company.

So, "sort of", in the sense that I'm not really sure you're BACK "back", as opposed to just teasing young(ish) men of feeling.

P.S. I'm only neo in my Trinity fantasies, and more PKDick would be appreciated. Ta.

pesky real life getting in the way of my valuable contributions to the on-line community - or atleast this small pixel or two that I call home.

if you would like to come and do some laundry for me, maybe unpack a box or two, then I am sure I could find more time to read.

yes a boy who helps out - we all have our our own pathetic triumphs of hope over dismal disapointments
don't we?

but i promise more dull sci-fi soon. I even promise to wear my long black leather coat while I post

Dear Fuschia,

I must politely decline your kind offer to do your laundry and heavy lifting, as I have Pesky Real Life duties of my own that already provide irksome distraction from my full-time job of neoliberalising stuff.

I'd offer you my manservant, Ilya, but the rum cove has taken off to join the circus. As he's rather uniquely gifted - and oddly shaped - I doubt they will refuse his service. As you note, a suitable boy is a rare find.

Please feel free to pass on the dull sci-fi [it's your blog, after all - I'm just a window-shopper], but the black leather coat seems a capital idea that I heartily and most inappropriately endorse.

Now you two have stopped flirting...
'hem
I love Mr De Lint, writes some of the best urban fanasty like ever.
When i read this and i'm reading another in the same vein "Harp of the Grey Rose' i wasn't too sure about it. Its not as rich and complex as most of his other longer books 'Someplace To Be Flying', Memory and Dream'...etc.
But once i thought about it, i see them as earlier beginning works, stories to be told around the fire by the wandering Harper, they grew on me alot more.

'moonheart' 'greenmantle''forests of the heart' 'onion girl' 'little country' etc
yes, I think it is definately an 'early work'. I think I would like it better if it wasn't written by him - I have such high expectations!

flirting?? I thought we were stoushing - I really am not very good at politics am I

Stoushing/Flirting- such a fine line.
Its what makes life so interesting

"flirting?? I thought we were stoushing - I really am not very good at politics am I"

Yeah, I thought we were stoushing, too. Fuschia was obviously trying to show me, accursed mislycanthrope that I am, the errors of my neoliberalisticalicious ways. Any incidental innuendo was clearly innocently unintentional.

Shaun, on the subject of pirates I'm officially calling it over.

Yes, that's right: pirates have not just jumped the plank, they've jumped the shark as well. It's fecking ridiculous that I should wander into a toy store looking for a prezo for me nephew and be met with four [count 'em: 4!] different brands of pirate toys. I don't know what the fuck has happened in the last year, but pirates have become way too popular.

It's gotten so that you can't cruise a Panamax container ship through the Malacca Straits without some merry band of no-good homicidal rapists boarding your ship and making off with the consignment of iPod nanos and the cabin boy. I blame that bloody movie with Johnny Depp in it. It has to stop.

aahhhh methinks I detect a frustated inner child - did fydor once dress in puffy shirt and his little neo-con friends called him 'fydorina' rather than recognising the incarnation of Sir Walter Raleigh. Does all that trouble with girls in later life stem back to a momentary confusion with the aforementioned cabin boy.

Everything is soo much clearer now

Lady, you have captured me perfectly. I'll say no more.

"...boarding your ship and making off with the consignment of iPod nanos and the cabin boy"

But as you both said: it is so damnably hard to find a good boy these days.
Times being what they are I'm not surprised that the more desperate of our northern cousins have resorted to such barbaric actions. I suggest the bible and the lash to bring them back to order.

I myself was captured by pirates no fewer than three times in the last six weeks - hence my online absenses.

So nowadays, standing about on a shadowy wharf with a sign saying 'get it here big boy' counts as being 'captured' by pirates???

wow - in MY day you had to really work for the honour

"in MY day you had to really work for the honour"

I suspect you wouldn't have had to work very hard at it all, dear raven-haired lady.

oh Harry, do stop getting kidnapped by pirates.

Where did you find it? Interesting read » »
