Man, that writer makes *me* feel normal. And that ain't easy to do.

I am sooooooo not going there.
Nuh-uh.
Bloody hell, no.
You know, these are not bad. They are off-kilter in an aggressively surreal way but also rather endearingly matter-of-fact about the whole absurdity. There's a dollop of pathos in there, even.
Um.
I really like them. Not in a sexy way, but in a this is completely and totally off the wall way - and weirdly charming. With Jetta the tortoise. It's like - has anyone seen the Czech film Conspirators of Pleasure by Jan Svankmajer? It's bemusing, and I don't find the the people's obsessions sexy myself, but it's weirdly disarming and almost sweet, in a way. Just so odd, and vulnerable, and off the wall.

I don't think they're especially bad -- they're just so weird. Roy Orbison! Cling-film! Turtles! And the writer asks for links to other stories about wrapping pop stars in cling-film! It's like RPF from a planet where Saran Wrap has replaced sex.
See, that's what I said! Charming.
Charming's probably a good world.
I like the terrapin, especially since I went to Maryland.
There are strange and bizarre places that even my Erisian tendencies don't want to go for fear of the sheer disorientation.
Dude. It's like, the cling-film person is the coyote trickster, and Roy Orbison is like the wise eagle. Or is it the other way around?
And why the hell am I reading about some German person's obscure cling-film fetish?
How odd. A friend shared that site with me the other day. I particularly like "well-groomed terrapin." It ought to be a band name.
