I’ve had 17 views of my page, and nobody talks to me (aw!). Except Tom. Who is my only friend. And Dave Callan’s only friend. I think he’s the Robot Friend they give you so you don’t kill yourself when you sign up, actually.
In other news, I spent some time tonight chatting to the girl who gives out Dave Callan’s flyers (hence the MySpace adventure). She encouraged me to have a chat to Dave if I see him round, tell him we enjoyed the show, because he’s kind of… well, he’s pulling the same thing everyone else we love is pulling: doing it to amuse himself and like-minded people, and bugger those who don’t get it.
So I mailed him a “we loved the Funk & Wagnalls gag” mail, which he will ignore, but I feel like I did the right thing. Which – how arrogant can I get? “OH, Dave Callan cannot possibly sleep at night unless he knows I find him funny!” Heh.
Aaaand on that note… I need to sleep.
Tomorrow, I shall play much Boggle. It’s good to have a plan.
I have not been fired from The Program for writing the most scathing review in their history, despite fears from Mum and Dow Chemical’s PR officer, Tony J. Lisa has, instead, offered me tickets to a play in St Kilda on Friday, May 4th.
I’ve got two, so who wants in?
The play is Ibsen’s Ghosts, which is one of the very few of his that I don’t already own. Boo! But the full text is, of course, available on the internet. Yay! The internet rocks!
Further news and reviews and other stuff later on, when I get over having been up all night cricketing and up all morning trying to send Evan to his doctory appointments.
Because she knows this:
“And BTW, it just dawned on me today that the new UN chief…his last name is WEN. So for the next…6 years is it? we’ll be seeing headlines like I saw today: Wen addresses Japanese Parliament.
And I didn’t even know you spoke Japanese!!! It was nice of Jean to let you have the day off to go speak to them. <g> Can’t wait for more…Wen tours African continent; Wen argues for cleaner water in Bangladesh; Wen visits every bookstore in Manhattan. 
“
Come ON, all y’all. That’s kind of awesome, right? Think of the fun we can have if he’s an interventionist UN bloke! Wen: taking over the world! Whoo!
Ok, so everyone who is related to me knows, has been emailed, or has seen the article, but what’s the whole blog thingy for, if not to gloat when something cool happens?
I got published in The Pun. Yep. In print. That whole “whoring my Daniel Townes review” thing has yeilded positive results. Whoo! My name, on an easily-cut-out-able bit of newspaper.
Me? Thrilled by something kind of minor? Never!
Daniel Townes got a (good) review in The Age. I am so excited for him! Let’s all go “yay, Daniel.”
And you know I’m taking some of that, right? Because I threw my review at their Reader’s Section and then they went out? Yeah, some of that’s my shameless whoring, right here.
