aaaaaargh
ferris. The main reason why I’m blogging at this point is because I just finished the Ferris article in detail and I’m really upset because everything seems so #$*&% similar to my argument and research! How lame is it that I have to argue ‘oh he thinks oif is a success but I don’t.’ or ‘there’s something about the layers. He’s talking about strategic, I’m ops.’ so it’s different. right?!? RIGHT?!
boohoo.
kids. The other day I was walking Millie and Mollie at botanic gardens with Yenni and her friend. So walking walking walking. And we met some nice people with nice dogs too. Anyways all was well until near the end of our walk, there were these kids. I tend to avoid kids when I’m walking my dogs, unless they are quiet and want to pet the dogs in a very calm and civilized manner. (that means only a handful of kids are like that)
these kids were screamy and noisy and running all over the place. And I think because one of the dogs (a Shiloh Shepherd) is a really huge one, so he attracted a lot of attention. First the kids are screaming away yelling ‘oh it’s a BIG BIG DOG! LIKE A BEAR!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!’ (note: they were not running away unfortunately) Thankfully our dogs were still calm despite the uneccessary outburst. But I think one of them was running after us! His friend was somewhere behind yelling ‘GO GO !!! RUN RUN!! FASTER!!! CHASE!!! TOUCH THE DOG!’
‘GO GO TOUCH THE DOG!!!!!!’
wth!
I found myself walking faster and faster until I was almost jogging. In the corner of my eye I caught this boy running towards us with his arm outstretched. The next thing I want is a screamy kid suddenly laying his icky hands on my dog/s and running off. EEEeeeeew.
That was so ridiculous because I didn’t think I would be ‘jogging’ out of the place. But I was. I was desperately trying to get Millie and Mollie far in front so that the kid will be blocked by the shepherd. And with each ‘FASTER!!!’ I walked faster so that the kid couldn’t catch up.
HOW terribly annoying!

This reminds me of my book: when I started making these new-fangled improvisations to the structure, I was always thinking that I had something original (then I saw that there was a whole branch of writing called experimental literature); when I figured out what I thought was an individualistic theme, I was always very happy (then I would read something by Blake or Eco that would have something similar); when I thought I had broken convention I felt proud of myself, if only mildly (then I discover that someone else had done something else before me).
Not quite the same, but similar. At this point, I’ve given up on really caring very much and have gone back to the roots of modelling it after the structure of my favourite music.
However much sense that seems to make.
