I am going to apply for a job in a bargain bookshop

In Britain our government will not bail out manufacturing industries. They bail out only the banks. This means that thousands of people lose their jobs and go on the dole. The money the government should spend on bailing out failing manufacturers goes instead to those in 6th form education. This money comes in weekly instalments of £30 to a lot of fucking people. The governments thinking here is “they are poor, they will spend it on books and pencils and shit” but I think the reality of the situation is “they are children, they will spend it on alcohol and drugs”. I can literally not imagine anyone spending it on actual school things.

I have had a fiction series accepted by DJ Berndt at Pangur Ban Party. PBP is very funny and good and nice. The series is called “This is body is my body (and I want to use it)”.

Crispin Best of Unnecessary Press will also be doing an Ebook of my story “The Apocalypse Flat”.

I am excited about both of those things.

I am reading Murakami.

I just mowed both lawns.

I got no post today.

I just ate porridge.

I put too much milk in it.

It tasted like lumpy milk.

Mmmmmm.

Udderr night took we car from big howse.

Beeonsay inna back all “pimp”

Dey litein fiyur in na backseet

And I driven circles.

All the ladies in the house say hey.

I feel funny about the Kafka controversy.

Murakami has a book called “Kafka on the shore”

It is good.

Read that.

In the Murakami book “The Wind-up Bird Chronicle” there is this woman who is a prostitute of the mind.

In the Murakami book “Norwegian Wood” I don’t like Midori but I do like Watanbe and I don’t know how I feel about Naoko and I think I like Reiko. When Reiko is 31 she is teaching a 13 year old girl piano and the 13 year old girl takes her clothes off and does things to her.

Creepy Murakami, creepy.

If someone could email me and offer marriage or something that would be fun; brooksben@hotmail.co.uk

If you are from Africa and want someone to shift your dollars then email that address too.

Those with offers of marriage will be put in contact with those needing to shift dollars.

No money will change hands.
