Rest in pieces

Remember my ratty, so enormous it swallowed up my entire room, has-been, executive office swivel chair (circa 1970's/1980's), covered in torn, grayish (but it's really an unidentifiable colour) pleather, purchased by me in April from a second-hand shop?

It is dead.

In pieces.

I am such a loser, even the furniture is breaking up with me...

Methinks it's a fantastic testament to your incredible creative skills. I mean, actually BREAKING a chair in the process of writing? Respect.

Has the chair come back from the broken to haunt you? Is the loss of the chair causing serious writer's block? But seriously - at least one of your loyal readers (me) is missing you....

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
