So I teach elementary school ESL in Korea, and I have gotten that quite a few times. We always have a nice laugh about it in the office.

Dead Ringers, anyone?

I just camed and shidded and farded a little.

Lieflik; baie dankie. Ek sal kyk of ek iemand in SA kan vra om dit namens my te koop en te pos.

Nee, hy is een van die digters wat in die dertiger-jare bekend geword het, saam met ander soos N.P. van Wyk Louw en Elizabeth Eybers. Hulle word die Dertigers genoem in literêre sirkels.

Ek sal enige boek deur Uys Krige aanvaar, in harde kopie of digitaal. Ek wil net weer van sy skryfwerk lees.

Holy shit. I think that's my hometown. I'm not even kidding.

Hi. I'm probably a bad candidate for this, but I would love to be involved in some way. I'm in Korea, so it's a completely different timezone. But still. Hit me up. Let me disappoint you.

And here I am, just about ready to publish my new EP. Any alternatives to Bandcamp out there?

I worked at an ice cream parlour in my hometown for a summer job. After three shifts I knew it was horrible and it wouldn't get any better. Two hours before the start of my fourth shift, I walked up to the boss and said, "I don't work here anymore. You're a cunt."

Yeah, I read about that on the internet. Honestly, it doesn't bother me. If the book is not about people I know about, my brain doesn't care how factual it is.

Just started Papillon by Henri Charrière, the 1973 translation. It's great so far, although I'm only about 50 pages in.

Be honest. Did you write the Shavian just hoping someone would remark on it? Like I just did?
