And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.

And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.

Random! Postmodern Bio Blurbs | 3:AM
… there’s a lot to be said for this approach, not the least of which is avoiding bio-blurbs like this: “X lives in New York with her three cats. She makes cookies out of the weirdest things (and they taste REAL GOOD!). Her favourite word is ‘red’ and when it snows she wears sandals.” The only reasonable response to such postmodern narcissism is, firstly, to remind the author that we don’t actually give a damn about his or her personal idiosyncrasies, and, secondly, to ask them to grow up.
I think this applies to Twitter, Facebook and the personal blogosphere too.
