CLUNES - PART #1

So. Much better than expected. I spotted the military educator from miles off. He was eating a pastry with a clone in tow, and was easily distracted. "We've got 'Sex After Fascism' at the warehouse - do you want a copy?" I asked. And as he stuttered and asked for the ISBN, I showed him a clean pair of heels and headed towards the pie oven.

It's late on Saturday night, and I got up at 5.30. I'm up again at 6 tomorrow morning, so this post will be brief and probably not very amusing.

"I've just finished a manuscript and..."

I heard this sentence three times today, each with a different ending. None of them were good.

Things I learned Part #1

Gideon Haigh Gets The Shits Easily!!!!

Honestly - I forgot my receipt book. It's easy enough to do when you're scrambling out of the house early doors and it's pitch black. And I'm sorry I forgot it. I'll post you a receipt. No, really, I will. What's your address? There's no need to be narky - I've seen you on the telly mate, you're doing ok. Seriously - how badly do you need this tax deduction? It's authors like that who make me really enjoy the remaindering process.

Things I learned Part #2

Books & CDs - Occasionally Indistinguishable!!!

Setting: A Bookstore. Several trestle tables, all covered in books. Shoppers browsing. Man enters. He looks around the store for a couple of minutes before approaching the sales counter.

Man: Do you sell CDs here?

Me: ......

Oh crap. That's not funny at all.

Now I feel bad about making fun of Gideon Haigh as well. Gideon, if you're reading this I'll send you a book voucher with your receipt. SORRY FOR EVERYTHING.

Next steps: Publish post. Shower. Bed. Booktown, again.
