The steady illiterate movement homewards...

Wed Sep 16, 2009, 2:44 PM
Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been on here for... what, a month? Longer? Probably. Things are mad. I started teaching again -- I got another lecturing job (same place, different department) and I'm two weeks in, knee deep in paperwork and issues already and loving every second. Things are suddenly happening rapidly (wait, that's new? OK, things are continuing to happen rapidly) and I'm pinging off the walls at present. I have lots to update you on. Soon, promise.

In the meantime, check out my little retail enveadour. I started it a while ago now and I am so enjoying the warm fuzzy feeling of being an Etsyer! Getting very into it, as it were. Anyway, for those of you who don't know, I have an online vintage store. Everything is very reasonably priced. I just listed a bunch of new stuff including some cool Mod/two-tone gear and an amazing prom gown. So check it out. If you like it, favourite me by clicking the ":heart: this store" button.

Thanks guys, more soon --

Thanks a lot for the sending of Sharks don't sleep!

I was sure I vaguely knew someone named Claire, living in Edinburgh, and then doing my Sherlock Holmes I remembered having read "theobviouschild" I don't know where. So. I was there on dA with an account named "aroke" and remember following your work at that time. It seems I'm back -- even if it's quite impossible for you to recognize me :D

Have a nice afternoon!

and when i walk the grounds at dawn
i can hear the sound of far-off bells
i lay my feet out in the reeds
and i dream of bein' somewhere else

so girl, next time you are in town
just ring the bell, i'll come let you in
i don't think you gon' need directions
just ask for the house where we all live

Got my package today -- tis awesome! I was sad Issue 10 wasn't included, though. That was the issue I wanted the most -- the whole reason why I ordered! Okay, just kidding, haha.

Enjoying the read so far. Thanks again! :cookie:

Haven't commented on any of your writing because I can never think of anything meaningful to say, but just letting you know - you're one of my favourite writers, always makes my day to have something new from you in my deviantwatch

You're welcome :)
also, Tom Waits = exceptional taste. Just listening through Small Change atm, any suggestion on which album to try next? the selection is a bit daunting...

My favourite is Rain Dogs, or any of the Island Trilogy (Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years). Those would all be a good follow-on to Small Change, as would Heartattack and Vine, which was a bit of a transition album. Or you could go backwards to the early, lounge-y stuff -- Closing Time, Heart of Saturday Night (favourite of mine!), Foreign Affairs. Anything up to about 1987, basically. After that it's all of a bit of an acquired taste... I love it, but not everyone does!
