Long Island

Blog

, posted by Anthony in the late evening.

It’s not so hot anymore. I guess summer is nearly over – I’m pleased to report that I survived, not much the worse for wear. Mostly I dashed from airconditioned space to airconditioned space. There was the occasional unavoidable foray into the outdoors, and those subway stations are rank in the heat. Luckily I work right on Broadway, so I walk past a large number of department stores with extensive airconditioning and welcomingly open doors blasting cold air out onto the street. I have sometimes felt that the city ought to undertake some kind of massive public works project to keep the temperature and humidity at reasonable levels, but I am reassured to see that private enterprise is doing its best to fill the gap.

It was particularly hot last weekend. It wasn’t really good suit weather, but I was wearing a suit anyway. I was at Anne and Mike’s Wedding in Westhampton on Sunday. I had a fantastic time. It was a great wedding. I caught the train up there in the morning, and then back again in the evening. It was a shame – I had to duck out a bit earlier than I would have liked to get home at a reasonable hour, what with having to work in the morning. I still haven’t got them a present. Any day now!

This was my second visit to Long Island. Interesting place. Very rich. It feels very snooty and self contained. It has a very distinct aura about it. Going there reminds me of what it felt like to first arrive in New York – the sense of seeing and experiencing something you had known existed but had very little idea of what it would actually be like.

Of course, I don’t feel that way about NYC any more. I’m an old hand now, with a job and everything. I’ve been here for nearly two years. Having a job still kind of freaks me out. I think this is largely to do with my writing, such as it is. When I was still nominally freelance, I could reassure myself that even if I wasn’t writing as much as I should it was only because I was working temporarily, and I could pick it up when I finished. I did need to pay the rent, after all.

This will no longer wash. I now work full time. I no longer have to ask each day if I will be required the next day. The probability of my having any substantial free time in the future is minimal. I decided that the thing to do was to buy myself a new laptop.

I know, I know, I just bought one. It’s incredibly powerful and I love it dearly, but it’s just too damn big and heavy to carry around. And I can’t really do any writing at home. I just can’t. There are too many distractions. So I got myself one of these. It’s kind of the opposite computer. It’s not that powerful, and it’s tiny and light. It’s perfect. I can carry it everywhere, and when I do break it out I can’t distract myself because it’s not powerful enough to play any games!

I must confess I was unsure of my own motives for clicking “Add to Cart”. I tend to spend money as if it expired, and now that I’m pretty much guaranteed not having to scramble for cash for a while it’s hard to convince myself to save. I occasionally could be accused of throwing money at problems rather than actually looking too closely at them. But this has actually worked. I have used it to do writing. I have taken it into coffee shops and fired it up. I even did some writing on the train to Long Island. Not on the way back, obviously. This has to be the best technology purchase I ever made.

I will even take it with me to Vancouver and use it on the plane (nine hour battery life). It’s a long flight. I’m heading up there for Labor Day Weekend – I’m so conscious of having almost no holidays that I feel I have to make the most of any free days that come my way. Actually, if you look at cost and distance there’s not a lot of difference between going to Vancouver and going to Dublin, but Vancouver seems a lot more manageable. There are too many people to see in Dublin – it would just be frustrating. I only know one person in Vancouver – James Finlan – which is a much more manageable number. And I already know what Dublin looks like.

I have decided to take the high road as regards the infiltration and attempted subversion of this blog through the comments section. I feel that this is a matter best dealt with face to face. I will be in Canada soon.

Long Island is snob city. The only reason I still talk to my cousins there is because they’re near-ish to the border of Queens.

And I’m completely jealous of the new puter.

Dude! Besides always feeling a third party sense of weirdness whilst posting little comments on your little comment page (Nothing meant by the ‘little’ reference!) there is one other thing I would like to mention….. STOP BUYING SHIT! I mean it. By now surely you could wear a fez and open some kind of second hand electronics corner shop?! As far as writing is concerned… I’m thinking “Games Industry” dude!

My client is also unhappy about a certain ‘link’ in your last post. He believes it to be defamatory and is considering litigation.

Two Canadians are sitting in a bar, and getting bored. They decide to play 20 questions. The first Canadian tries to think of a word and after a little pondering comes up with the word: moosecock.

The second Canadian tries his first question, “Is it something good to eat?”

The first guy thinks a moment then laughs and replies “Sure, I suppose you could eat it.”

The second Canadian says, “Is it a moosecock?

At 8:45 am on Thursday 25th 2005f August 2005, Dean decided it was worth pointing out

A family moved from Newfoundland to Alberta. Johnnie started school at the new location, in grade 3.

One day the teacher asked individual students to count to 50. Many of them did very well, some getting as high as 37. But Johnnie did extremely well; he made it to 100 with only 3 mistakes. At home he told his Dad how well he had done. Dad told him, “That’s because you are from Newfoundland, son”.

Next day, in “language”, the teacher asked students to recite the alphabet. Some made it to the letter “k” with only one mistake, but Johnnie outdid them again. He made it all the way through, missing only the letter “m”. That evening he once again brought his Dad up to date and Dad explained to him, “That’s because you are from Newfoundland.

Next day, after Physical Education, the boys were taking showers. Johnnie noted that, compared to the other boys in his grade, he seemed overly “well – endowed”. This confused him. He told his Dad, that night, “Dad, they all have little tiny ones, but mine is ten times bigger than theirs. Is that because I’m from Newfoundland?”

“No, son,” explained Dad, “that’s because you’re 18!”

JIMI says (through his attorney): “Geez, what have you guys got against us Canadians, eh?”

JIMI senses a co-ordinated backlash against GONE TO CANADA.COM INC and realises there could only be one person behind this despicable attack. But, as this person shall soon be in Canada, JIMI has decided to deal with the problem then. JIMI thanks his numerous supporters for their kind words of support duriing these troubling times. “Freedom itself was attacked today”, said JIMI. “We’re gonna hunt ‘em down and smoke ‘em out”.

Er, that’s it for now folks.

Er… that was JIMI’s review, Mr. Litton. I, Benjamin Goldstein am not JIMI. However, I did read my client’s review of War of The Worlds and found it very insightful and informative.

I must say I myself enjoyed ‘Taffin’ and my client also likes it very much. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I think it gives one a great insight into the Irish psyche.

JIMI informs me that he’d like to buy the rights to the film and give it a “What’s up Tiger Lily” style makeover – purely as an homage you understand, not to mock the film in any way.

JIMI also hopes to be up and running soon, once we’ve dealt with the FALSE charages of drug-running and adultery that he faces in Bangladesh where he was overseeing the moving of his operations there. Once again we thank our many readers for their support. He is currently on hunger strike and faces death by stoning if convicted… However, he did take time out to talk to me. He was only allowed a five minute phonecall during which he talked animatedly about TAFFIN.

As regards Taffin. What a great movie. It brought tears in my eyes just to think about that beautiful movie after talking to Benjamin last night.

Now, Mr. Goldstein, isn’t it true that what your client REALLY means to say is that his creative well has already run dry? And he just doesn’t wish to admit it?

My dear Babs >> You don’t seem to appreciate the gravity of the situation in which my client finds himself. Locked away in a dingy Bangladeshi cell, pitted against the legal complexities of Sharia Law, on hunger strike (not on any moral grounds but the food is so bad he chose hunger strike as an easier option than eating), only allowed conversations with his esteemed lawyer (me)... JIMI has very little time to respond to the many allegations that are flooding this site. The Shatner allegation, though highly contentious – is the least of his problems. And while he appreciates your ironic reverence for Colin Firth (he says your sense of humour helps him through the long, dark hours), he now must contend with new arguments being made against his guerilla blog by minds greater than his, or yours, or, dare I say it – mine. Faced with the allegations of being an “annoying little fucker”, or of living in a country of “racoon shaggers”, he is now beginning to doubt the whole venture. He feels he is out of his depth and lacks the intellectual rigour to rebuff these robust claims. However, he assures you he is not ignoring you and finds your whole Colin Firth routine quite amusing.

ANTHONY>> My client is not amused. That’s all he has to say on the matter. Even I don’t know what this is all about but he says forget about the couch.

JIMI>> Still waiting on that check…

By the way >> did anyone see ROCK STAR: INXS tonight? I really thought that bit where they wanted to see how long the contestants could hang from a door by a belt was in bad taste…

Yours, etc…

I think you should put it back up, Anthony. Show him whos boss!!

(Don’t let the couch argument sway you. I’m sure they have Motel 6’s, park benches or something there. It’s not the chilly season yet)

And Mr. Goldstein, the fact that you even MENTIONED that abomination of a TV show says a LOT about you.

No wonder Jimi hasn’t paid you yet.

(I’ll bet Colin Firth doesn’t watch that crappy show)

Firstly.. No body won my competition.
Secondly, (To put it Eloquently!), I tolerated that stupid fuckin’ Bint from Canada for a short while but he and the other stupid fuckin Bint should shut the fuck up and cease their motherfucking jive talk cuz it bores us all to death!

You just don’t have the stomach for it! Why, just a few comments ago Dean accused me of being “null and void as far as interesting stuff goes”, and I seem to remember that Daragh once commented “the colour or color as they say in the united slabs of amoeba is awfull looks like someone pissed all over your site…” after a redesign.

These are the wages of blogging.
