I have. You can read mine when I'm finished, if you want to wait.

Well the library had it, but it turned out there was 23 people waiting in line before me to check it out, (i.e. it could be months) so I went ahead an ordered from Amazon...it was about $7. I rationalized it by thinking hell, it wasn't so much money I'd lost out on a whole CD, and if I pretended I'd spent it on beer at a bar, it wasn't such a big deal. I haven't been to bars much lately anyway.

Nothing but fruit and veg for me.

So monster Mav just gave me the book, but it was War and Peace. The bugger got the wrong book. Embers is 'Beautifully sparse'. Something War and Peace isn't. Oh well, back to the bookstore.

But not as sparse as your dinner plate, eh? I feel thinner already.

Yes I do mate.

Well, I'm too busy to post. Or read this Ã¢â‚¬Ëœsparse beautiful novel' I DON'T READ I JUST DANCE and don't worry Tommy I'm still on the fruit, just the fermented kind. And I think I've come to a conclusion, I might be in an extended state of Hypomania. Is that a word? My spell check seems to think not. So what is that term? You know, right before you kill yourself and you have these great ideas and thoughts, a heightened artistic spastic gush? Anyway, since we are all dying I hope that this is what I have. It sure beats writers block.

And some of you might be saying, Hypomania or not, the guy still writes like a 10 year old with ADD. And some of you might be wondering why Tommy never Ã¢â‚¬Ëœrips me a new one' since I actually write worse than everyone one on these BOARDS OF BAD BEHAVIOR! Yeah, I know you read SHITE POETRY OF BAD BEHAVIOR and ask yourselves, why does Tommy let this cunt off? Well, I have a theory. I housesit you see, his, okay, House, a nice big posh place a couple weeks every year. Now do you, my gentle posters do that? I thought not. Would you rip McCutcheon a new one if he house sat your mansion? I thought not. As it is, when he treats me nice I still stay up all night running around naked and high on E.

So anyway, since my wine buzz is desipitating, (or since that isn't a word either, I guess I'll use decapitating) it just goes to prove my point. Anyway, anyway, it's 10:52amand I'm getting more thirsty, having just finished my first bottle of wine of the day. I better go replenish it. Like I said I''m still on the fruit Tommy, just the fermented kind.

Well, I'm about 30 pages in, and have plenty to say already, but I'm going to hold my tongue. It's only begun to seem truly interesting anyway. Yes, I've got gripes, but then I kept thinking "If I post these gripes it will sound like I'm purposely trying to imitate Tommy's critical nature", and that wouldn't be the case. So anyway. Onward. I shant say a thing yet, and what's that phrase? "Benefit of the doubt", that's it. The night's not young, the novel is.

Mc we are going away the last week in September. Are you up for it?

By the way the reason I haven't said anything about your writing is I tend to reply only to what is on the actual BB of BB. And anyway it wouldn't be fair, seeing as I have been sleeping with your missus this last six months - and the one before her as well - and your sister - and yer mum. Ha. Ha. Ha. I've made myself laugh.

Tommy, I feel thiner as well on my diet of white wine and Jujyfruits. Or maybe it's because I've bought a pair of trousers one size up.

Post by **mccutcheon** » Thu Aug 14, 2003 5:32 pm

NOOOO! Not my mum. I like this too. Laughs are worth a little bit of fleeting fancy. Anyway, some people are all upset, OH MY GAWD TOMMY SLEPT WITH MC MUM. But I can handle it.

marky · Post by **marky** » Sat Aug 16, 2003 1:17 am

I just thought it was funny.

BTW the book's better now I think, I'm about halfway through. Mav, have you finished it?

Post by **mccutcheon** » Sat Aug 16, 2003 4:39 pm

Mav is done. He gave his copy to me but I gave it to h.

i can't wait till you all read the fucking book so i can hear about it.

Rosie you looked sexy last night! Ever think I'd post that? But your boyfriend used the word 'Nigger' right in front of this black guy. I know he ain't from here, your boyfriend, but still. And he likes house music. Maybe I'm just a so so white liberal from Wisconsin and can't handle urban culture.
