    It is good! I wouldn't have read it and thwomped around the house doing my best Martin Luther King if it wasn't!

    Masonic Speech Making became my bible Irony, lol? Or... I only read the Preacher's part (I thundered around the house in my best preacher voice) so I might be wrong in thinking Mason's are secular, although it fits in with the whole Enlightenment thing... but in War and...

    No, no, I have to do work, I'm doing nothing. I'll tell you what, you turn your mobile on, and I'll call you, because I have to talk to you.

    See diametric, it was just me! And you've got a substantial list of things there that denote a dream. Plus, I just wikipedied 'lucid dreams' and I'd never heard of them before. Just a common sense thing I'd never heard of before. Rest easy!

    God, looking back at it, that whole dream sequence thing was obvious as heck - 'sequence within a dream'. I think because of all the arty, nonsensical titles people place above each section, I just began to ignore them, or at least not take what they said at face value. Especially the Elaine...

    I think that's apt evidence that it's purely me who didn't get it; trust me, it's not a reflection on your work or anything! I can be daft as heck, I assure you (you can ask Zeppelin Queen about how I didn't get Northanger Abbey and had this whole rant until someone explained its satricial aims)...

    Wow, just read the other half (experience/innocence) of that Blake poem - very, very interesting! Did you read both? I think it compliments your text in a strange way...

    Firstly, thank god I didn't read it last night, because to be honest, I rather struggled to get my head around it. I could give you the notes I wrote while I read it, but looking back after reading your reflection they seem rather pale. To be completely truthful, much of what you were trying to...

    Diametric, I want to do it full justice, so I'll read through it tomorrow. As stated by Zeppelin, I've gotta go to sleep. Plus I've bummed here all day. Tomorrow afternoon you will be greeted with a comment!

    Where is it buddy? I want to find it so I can say something witty to Emma Schadel!

    You are right buddy, your right right right. We should start a new form of po-mo, something with a hilarious name that can never be taken seriously! It will be exactly the same deal, but jazzed with wackiness? Names?

    Ha! When I saw I read Kate Grenville, it actually means I referenced Kate Grenville, which means I googled 'short story writing', stole her name, shoved it in Amazon and chucked it in! I just had a glance through my reflection, as the real thorn in its side wasn't the research crap, it was my...

    Thanks buddy, but it's odd because I never really thought of it as pomo. I sorta just wanted to rip on the whole idea of language having 'era's. It is a ridiculous fuck you to postmoderism, post-colonialism, modernism, bullshit, bullshit! I just want to grab some pink floyd lyrics, run up to a...

    That being said Zeppelin Queen, I don't think language was ever 'adoration', it's always been wild, and wacky and unrestrained!

    URGH! You articulated that so much better than I did in my reflection. Maybe that's because I had to babble on about 'Kate Grenville totally changed me'. But you are RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT! I wish I had said that about it being a tool etc. that true nonsense is the allusions! Dammit! I just babbled...

    Atwood's breakfast, and Eveline's a Snood. I know you too too well Writing as I read. Fight was fantastic. Really, breathtaking. So real, ringing in my ears. Wasting time writing now. Where'd you find all this truth? why she sighed when watching perfect families on TV in perfect houses...

    It would make sense. I mean, I like to imagine that Ginsburg was bleeding his fingers dry and wailing in the middle of the night when he wrote 'Howl'...

    I lay on the floor for about 2 hours reading it, until they sniffily asked me whether I was going to buy the book. I said no, just to annoy them (I would have otherwise) so they glared me out the door. It happens so damn often.
