I'd give my big toe for some quiet time...

There's WAY too much drama here today, and everyone seems to think it's their business. I on the other hand, have been working hard to update the website before one of the three people who actually look at it call and complain. Ok, I just had to leave the office because it got so noisy in here with people shouting at each other! (We all share a small office area with each other and with anyone who happens to walk in) It's one of those days where there is so much gossip to circulate, that everyone feels the need to shout. Apparently the louder you talk, the more people will take your side.

I finished reading "Guide" by Dennis Cooper last night. It's the 2nd last in a series of which I only have the final book to read. I'm not sure I'd recommend his books to anyone, mostly because of the gruesome content (like underage gay sadomasochistic sex ending with death/disembowelment being filmed for a porn/snuff film.) So why do I like his books? It’s the structure and the misleading way the stories are told. They’re all about point of view and how people interpret events. The narrative of "Frisk" revolves around a character misreading an incident, which ends up shaping the rest of his life, and therefore also misleading the reader. There is usually a "character"/narrator named Dennis Cooper who writes from the point of view of the author (who is Dennis Cooper.) Does that make any sense? The line between truth and reality is seriously blurred. I’d like to be clearer, but unfortunately I can’t seem to concentrate today. (Yap yap yap yap!) Go figure. That’s what I get for blogging at work!
