I am currently working on what I consider to be one of the greatest books ever written. But I don't think I'll finish it cause the print is so small. I'm reading "Getting Even" by Woody Allen at the moment. I am going to make a bold statement and say *it is the funniest thing I have ever read* (imagine the bold text and it is less not funny). ba doom ching(i've always wanted to make an intertextual joke... if only I could use Comic Sans font, though some would say that joke was Sans Comic). As you can see this book is having a big influence on me - I'm trying to make twice as many double entendre's as I usually do (I guess they would be quadruple entendre's if you get my meaning meaning meaning meaning*). It is a collection of pieces he wrote for magazines in the 60's, and includes tales of Hitler's hairdresser, transcripts from a chess-by-mail game, Metterling's laundry lists, and lots of other hilarious stuff. This book will change your life, though as you can see this may not be a good thing. Woody Allen is fantastic. I have devoted the last year of my life to watching every Woody film, but I've still got quite a lot to go. My favourites so far are Sleeper and Annie Hall (which is Stuart Murdoch's favourite film. Isn't Stuart's diary great? His latest entry is a poem titled "I'm in love with my therapist"). "Slim's Shout" by Sunnyland Slim has been in my discman lately. I know nothing about Blues music or Blues musicians, but this album completely blues my socks off, leaving me with cold feet. I should stop now before I turn into a blubbering mess, or my brain turns on me and causes reversible damage (okay all together now: "groan"). love, terry *I will send a prize to anyone who can come up with a funny quadruple entendre without looking at a James Joyce novel or a Shakespeare play. Dictionaries and thesaurus' are allowed. And bonus points for smuttiness and Belle and Sebastian references! --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
