a writer’s life for me!

Stole this from Curtis at Can’t See the Forest. Someone alert Gawker: How did my biography get on the web already? Must be a leak somewhere; when in doubt, blame Judith Regan.

A writer's life for me! Cuz I be stupid, yo

the most improbable meme in the world soldiers on

Zounds!

From raincoaster to Archie…from Archie to Metro…the madness marches, tagless. Is there no end to this insanity? No abbreviation of this alliteration? Nay, not so but constant consonance.

SriusLEE, had I known Metro‘s favorite Shakespearian play was Macbeth, I’d have hesitated longer before accepting his hospitality. Truly, Lord and Lady Macbeth stand as a shining and eternal example of all that a host and hostess should not be. But I went anyway: if he’d only told me they had no gin, that woulda been a dealbreaker.

A sliver of MacMetro‘s elegant, piercing, and tearjerking, if unhyperlinked, contribution:

Is this a blogger that I see before me,
The keyboard t’wards mine hands? Ah, now I click thee.
I posted thee, and yet I see thee still,
Art thou froze, lousy server? Not sensible
To mine heart’s broken cries? Or is this but
A pausing at the node, a short delay?
Originating from the crowded cable?
I see thee yet, in form the same
As t’other window that I now do open.
Thou mock’st my labours of an hour ago,
And the environment I blog in.
Mine fingers drum upon the veneer’d desktop
But answer comes there none, I see thee still,
Thy circling logo saith “‘Tis being published”
Yet ’tis not so, I trow. There’s no such thing!
It is the fruit of hours that hath gone
From my account.

Of course, it’s his own fault for not being on WordPress.

This is poetry. Sheer poetry.

So if you call one person fat that offends all fat people? When I call someone an idiot, does the entire Bush Administration cry?

Shakespeare is a virus

go ahead, make Samuel L. Jackson's day, punk.

or at least a meme. Try this if you dare! Ærchie rushed in where tenured profs fear to type, and here’s a sample:

The quality of WordPress is not strain’d,
It droppeth little hints as the gentle rain
From DrMike upon the wordpress forum: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that writes and him that reads:
‘Tis mightiest in the blogosphere: it becomes
The throned monarch much better than all competition;
His stats show the force of technorati power,
The attributes of Andy’s widgets surpass all,
Wherein askimet doth ease the fear of spam…

Sent along by Lori, and much appreciated, particularly as it relates to some of the more informed comments on this post, in which Shakespeare loses the smackdown to a million blogging Lovecrafty Squid.

if this is the premonition, I can't say the future looks bright
