Always Carry Ink

I got an anonoymous marriage proposal
I could teach you a think or two, yeah, yeah.

A ballpoint pen (also eponymously known in British English as a biro and pronounced bye-row in Britain but sometimes bee-row elsewhere), is a modern writing instrument. A ballpoint pen has an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at the tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere (0.7 mm to 1.2 mm in diameter); the ink dries almost immediately after contact with paper. Inexpensive, reliable and maintenance-free, the ballpoint has almost completely replaced the fountain pen in everyday writing.

Weird, some people call biro's "beerows". I copied this article so i could bitch about it because it makes handwriting look unloved. I could write "this belongs to you" beautifully in permanant marker on a bench, or in fountain pen on a post-it note. But no, i used a biro.

Pirates in Time (Episode 2)

Some might say they would like to see the script for Pirates in Time (Episode 2). I have some free time on my hands, i cannot jump into the sea that is MSN Messenger as i will be aswallowed by conversations of endless repetition and backchat from bent. Sorry, Not everyone's bad, honey.

Captain Two Shirts: It appears we have gone back in -
Dale: -Yarrr!
Captain Two Shirts: Go in the next room
(Captain Two Shirts and Dale meander to the next room. There is a boat, that reminds the pirates of their piratey adventures. They reinforce their memory with terms they used aboard)
Dale: Walk the Plank!
Captain Two Shirts: (as he and Dale move to and fro, resembling the motion of a ship) Choppy seas today!
Dale: (To a passer by) Scrub the decks!
(unintelligable backchat)
Dale: You givin' me lip, boy? (he slaps passer by) Yarr!
(They go back in Time)
Dale: It appears we have gone back in time
Captain Two Shirts: Arr!

I don't have the mental brainpower to continue. i think I'm only half way. It continues in a similar way.

Awkwardly Cast

There was so much demand for a new blog, they have come too few of late said she.

Awkwardly Cast is a lyric from Pink Bullets by The Shins, whose new album has finally arrived, tomorrow (*nice use of imperfect tense, stu). It has no relevence to this entry, well it does now, but that single phrase was stuck in my head for about a minute as i walked downstairs to succumb to my growing addiction: special k; the healthy kind. I have been cast in my drama AS piece of Oedipus Rex. The one he gauges out his own eyes with. Some might say i have been awkwardly cast as Creon, someone who many people see as evil. I'm not very evil, so i will have to get in role and research people like Stalin and Guy Pearce. I never recognise him. Actually Creon only turns evil in "Antigone" when his fall from grace occurs.

I looked up Pink Bullets on Songmeanings.net, hoping to find not many responses so i didn't have to read much. Instead i'll do something better. Blog it.

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
So you understand less as the pages turn
Or a movie so crass
And awkwardly cast
Even I could be the star"

The Shins write strange lyrics. Indignity said...

"this reminds me of when you break up with someone, and you see them everywhere, and you remember all the good times you had, but you just can't talk to them. and you can never go back."

"the guy i love sent me this song when he told me that we needed to be apart for a while. i understand now why he did."

Aw man thats really sweet. I don't want to take the piss out of these people. Except maybe Oobleshmerfadarkle who said...

"I was reading a book and listening to this song and somehow I just started crying..."

Hahahahaha!

Clover me, Baby

You would expect somebody to say Cover me, baby, if two lovers were in a situation that required one of them to cover the other. But no, my linguistic genius has changed this to "lucky imagery", a series of picture-creating phrases that make you feel lucky.




Yes i know that lucky imagery is awful. I feel awful in that respect, anything about the language, i have failed you. I got band 2 in an English essay. 12/50. I had to talk to the teacher outside with those in the same predicament as me, although they got 11 and 10 so i was the best. I need to redo that essay, and explain how the atmosphere is created in Act 1 Scene 1 of Much Ado about Nothing. I'll try this time.

It pretty much snowed today. All Canadians must understand that snow in this country is rare and means everybody gets excited and throws it at eachother. It makes the day stand out. My Garden looked as follows

à la Scanner

I bought a scanner about 2 months ago off amazon. It was a spontanious buy because i hadn't bought anything in about 3 days. I have taken amazon off my bookmarks now because otherwise it is too easy to buy something that i don't need. However i have just discovered the beauty of the scanner, and i am A la scanner (rough translation: "at the scanner")(NB 21:22 I just wikipedia'd "à la" and apparantly it means in the manner of. In the manner of scanner?)(NB 21:23 RHYMES!) in scanning in things i find in my room. I can even write notes to a girl and it will be so, so beautifully Jpeg. I can scan a brown paper bag with a scribbled setlist on it. Also i can scan my face but i have heard that that's dangerous.



Actually i have posted 3 entries today. I hope i die down a little. I liked the way back there, and i quote "Actually i have posted 3 entries today" i used italics for "i" when i didn't need to, thus confusing all readers into rereading previous text and feeling they have not read this entry thoroughly enough to get the joke about italics, a joke that i just killed.


Imagine repetitive spanish guitar, some rhythmic droplets and the same voice singing over itself on the subject of the tide, and you'll get the guillemots song i am listening to currently. It just ended.

On Purpose to Grace

Is it not strange that sheep's guts should hale souls out of men's bodies?

says Benedick as he tries to put a bad spin on everythging related to love. Copyright William Shakespeare. Apparantly sheep's guts refers to the strings of a lute, but when i wikipedia'd lute there was no such evidence of lute strings ever having been made of the guts of sheep. I have never heard a lute. Nor do i know what they sound like, although in Italian they are called viola da mano so i guess they sound like a viola.

I was so pleased in English today to hear our teacher say "The Iambic Pentameter mirrors the content by mirroring the idea of harmony in the world." I was starting to lose faith in our English lessons being anything like they are on American TV, where they discuss intelligent subjects such as the rythm of writing symbolicly resembling harmony in the world. Faith be restored. "On purpose to grace" is also a quote in Much Ado about Nothing which is probably not meant to be used as an actual quote as it is in the middle of a sentence, "purpose" and "grace" are not really related. All as if always. I could change that to "Here be us all, as if always we were away". There. Does that make you understand what that whole paragraph meant? Does it make it easier to relate to because i wrote it, baby. N/A.

By the way i put comma baby after randomly selected sentences to make them seem more interesting and to make me appear more original.

The Views long awaited debut album is out today. I will not be getting it, instead i will rip it off a friend. I like saying Asted Way Ittle Ay Ayjay Say though because it has been a long time since anyone spoke like that. Also Little Miss Sunshine is released today. That film was really funny and awkward. Look at Breslin!

All as if Always

This week has just begun, and to celebrate, I must create a blog. It is really interesting to read Blogs of different cultures. I doubt most people are even aware that what they do is so different to everybody else. Think, special. Yeah man!

Having said that there are a lot of same-as', copycats, copyrighted and lawbreakers, well in this country; England. I'm at college at the moment. I shouldn't be creating a blog really. But it's creative, and college should be creative, productive and everything in between. I don't feel like making a website about me, so i'll use a pre-designed template and do the inside-out.
All as if always sounds really nice. I do English Literature & Language combined, so people like me can appreiciate that. All as if always. Interpret your own way, baby.
