I am giving up writing because … #15

Try as I might, I can’t come up with some obtuse, obscure and obfus­cated purple prose allud­ing to world events. That Barack Obama, for instance. Seems like a nice bloke. I like the cut of his jib. See what I mean?

    this so called aura of change is unin­spir­ing for a dis­tinct reason.

    Dooce has already writ­ten about it twice, so we can all feel safe and send her links to our mums.

    Oh my god, not a single ref­er­ence to eye­lids? This is more ser­i­ous than I thought.

    Rem­brandt — Whose aura of change? Mine? Or Obama’s? I am not sure we’re quite comparable.

    Lore — Dooce? Did you say Dooce? *nervous twitch, fol­lowed closely by pro­jectile vomiting*

    Jack — I don’t men­tion eye­lids any more. Elbows are my new thing. Obama has very states­man­like elbows, I’ve noticed.

    Anti-emetic ther­apy for sale. 100% guar­an­teed or your money back. (You know, I have a prob­lem I need to solve. Both my eye­lids and elbows are soooo ordinary.)

    This jib busi­ness grabs me by the bow locks.

    Obama / Osama — I keep get­ting the two mixed up, prob­ably not a good thing…
