Be warned, Meg is thinking. Everyone in the know understands that that means trouble is afoot. I, on the other hand, am not thinking. Not thinking at all. My head is a big empty wasteland. There are occasional tumbleweeds. Perhaps I should put up a screen saying “Tom is not thinking”?
Again via Prolific.org, Matt Haughey of Metafilter has decided to endow a $500 scholarship to one member who is in University or college at the moment. The contribution is based upon the quality of previous posting plus an essay question. This is an astonishingly positive thing for him to do, and he should be applauded for it.
Poor old Prol is busy fighting with her tax returns this Easter Monday, which fills me with horror, as I am equally inept at such enterprises but find myself gradually dipping more and more toes into the ‘self-employed’ tax bracket, when all I really want is a nice Deputy Editor position at Empire Online. In the meantime, her flat may be covered in paper, but it looks like it’s a beautiful place…
Oh, here is London. “Home of the brash, outrageous and free.” You are repressed. But you’re remarkably dressed. Is it Real? And you’re always busy. [lyrics]
In the absence of so you dumped someone over a year ago because you thought it was the right thing to do but regretted it immediately and have so not been able to get over it no matter how hard you try which is a bit sad really.com, I suppose soyouvebeendumped.com might have to do.
Inquiring minds need to know everything about the person who typed “Dammit I’m in love with Meg what do I do” into Yahoo!
I’m not returning to London tonight. Sod it. Take that, London. One in the eye for you, and no mistake. Ha. I’m going to spend the evening waiting for the Messiah instead. I mean, Jesus. You wait all weekend for your Lord to rise, and instead you’re left stuck in front of My Best Friend’s Wedding trying not to think about your life. I’ll go back tomorrow. Fuck it.
Wherever you are provides a rather more helpful piece of advice regarding “how to get over a crush” (see my earlier post) – advice that I intend to undertake immediately:
“And, of course, it’s missing the obvious way to get over a crush. Number six in this list should be: ‘Trust in the power of magical forces. Construct a voodoo doll of (a) either the person on whom you have the crush, or (b) their current partner. Then sell your soul to Beelzebub and hope for the best.’ Now that is much more practical advice.”
So there’s going to be a sequel to American Psycho, the Christian Bale movie in which the amiable 80s yuppie did lots of exercise, looked good in the mirror and sat around brooding while covered in blood and cradling a sizeable axe [BBC News]. But this is only the beginning – “Actress Mila Kunis – best known for her part in the sitcom That 70s Show – will take up the knife-wielding role of the protagonist. She will play a victim of the original psycho, played by Christian Bale, who turns aggressor, causing havoc on a college campus.” And it’s all in the best possible taste, of course…
The most facile answers ever given to the question: “How to get over a crush?” I should point out that this question was today’s other strange (and totally inappropriate) search-request and that I didn’t just stumble upon this site in a mood of psycho-sexual-spiritual desolation.
