Frank Sartor checks in with a haiku

A pre-season fight
Clock, Undies, Pubes all involved
Boys got too rowdy

Some time shortly before 1788...

A general update: The captain has been uttering unthinkable utterances. Some of the men fear that he has caught the Consumption from a prostitute, Errol, his best girl. I have been avoiding close contact with him where possible, mostly confining myself to my cabin and the waste trough I share with the other other men convicts. Myself and several others have taken to warding off Delirium and Brainstop by appreciating and discussing various musics. One of the fellows, an Irish lad, smuggled aboard a collection of burnt CDRs filled with various club tracks, while a fellow Englishman inexplicably owns a fairly decent set of CDJs. We have been learning earnestly, and hopefully by the time we dock in new South-Wales we will be able to seek our fortune as proficient DJs.

Malouf and Muscles

In an organised gathering of fee-paying minds held within the grounds of a university, I learnt that author David Malouf wrote exclusively in long-hand. Once the author of seminal HSC the 2 Unit Advanced English text, Imaginary Life is happy that his handwriting was worthy, he then types it out, on a typewriter. It is up to someone at his publishing company to type it out again - probably onto a Apple Computer.

What do David Malouf and Muscles have in common? More than you think, probably!
1. They share the same country of origin
2. They both have had their worked reviewed in Fairfax newspapers
3. They both have used the following words in sequence in their work: "peace, love ecstacy"

Thank Yous:
Thanks to everybody that attended BCorTM: A Tremendous Party Night. Unfortunately we had to move venues, as the OAF was booked out in favour of some dance music. The money raised provided more than enough to maintain this blog for the remainder of the year.
