A cheap laugh, sure (after all, I’d be quite happy to have an academic book in print), but this did make me titter.

Begin your novel with the protagonist getting out of bed and seeing that it is raining outside, which perfectly mirrors his life

 

Jake opened his eyes and heard the rain battering against the outside of the glass window. Well, he thought grimly, it’s raining outside, and it’s certainly raining in my soul, which is about as inside as you can get.

It had only been seventeen days since he had lost his job and been dumped by his girlfriend, all of which made him very sympathetic without actually having to establish him as a character. Ever since that fateful day, he had been hearing the drip drip drip of his hopes (raindrops) and aspirations (hailstones) tumbling down onto the corrugated iron roof of his memory before disappearing forever down the drain of missed opportunities.

It was a dark and rainy night when first I read of this fine new blog. Return to it I will in various methods.

Write Badly Well.

From the people who bring you I Can Haz Cheezburger comes a new venture. It’s a repository of those images that defy rational explanation and stand as testimony to the sheer weirdness of humankind. Just ask yourself, what, just what the hell is going on?

Haven’t had a LOLcat post in ages. Indulge me.

“Dear employees. Some of you will be fired, because we’re broke. This is crap for me, but much more crap for you. I like some of you, and some of you are really good at what you do. Even if you don’t fall into either of these categories and are a real waste of space and time, it is not nice to be fired. There are various very good economic reasons for this move that involve dull words you might find in a PowerPoint presentation. If you want to hear them, email me. But I’m assuming you don’t care. We will give you as much money and help as we can when we fire you. But it will almost certainly be less than you’d hoped and not enough to placate your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend. Sorry. Also, no you can’t take any office equipment with you. And please try not to cry, as it will set everyone off and make an already dreadful event even worse.”

Is it safe to say that McCain-Palin are beyond a joke yet? After all, people did say that Bush couldn’t be re-elected. Not safe yet? Ok, here’s more fuel for the fire (via the very talented and attractive Freddownload his music, peoples!)
