on safari with hunter - part three

Feb 25, 2010 01:30

Extracts from the personal journals and recordings of Phillius Joyce; being in the way of a rude account of my ventures to the heartland and my exploits therein.

17 at the outpost.

Strange to be reporting from an outpost in the interior.

In any case such is where I find myself after withdrawing from the remains of the Raptors and my night vigil.

I am quite stunned! I just encountered your lovely shambling obra maestra here, and am taking it in.

So many points of reference, such subtle play among the myriad concepts and -- yes! -- conceits behind your story!

I promptly googled the Marvellettes' song, and the Wiki entry confirmed to me that you, sir, were onto a thing extraordinary -- Who knew Smokey Robinson had something that quirky (and uber-literate) in him?!

And my fave Umberto Eco !! Baudolino, no less! And puns a la Name of the Rose...

And the binary references -- the poetry of 2010 meets the music of the 1960s! A "2" [note to self: pun on "etude" for any Francophiles out there -- play with it on your own time -- on your own dime!] to conund with all the rationalities of ye olde 21st century!

And it gets worse: by chance, I tripped across your story on my BBerry shortly after awakening. I'm responding on it, even though the damned 2-letters-to-a-key thing complicates one's thought processes (it made "pun" into "pub," "sir" into "air,"fave" into "face"!).

Anyhow, great shit here, man! I will try to reconstruct your site on my laptop in a little while (coffee being my immediate need here...).

And there I'll hopefully recall why I titled this email "embedded" (beyond me simply still being abed).

How to reconnect? Ah, yes -- I friend you, and with a little lurk (that wasn't BBerry; that was my coffee-craving brain!) you'll add me back!

Please?

Hugs, Justine

*giant ego head detaches, goes on wild shopping spree, stomps tokyo, ascends to nirvana and departs this dimension entirely*

THANK YOU!!!:)))
