Hi, welcome to an update on my life. My life right now is sad and lonely which I guess is pretty funny. I am studying for my English exam this Friday, by typing out this blog post where I practice 'English' and indirectly memorize quotes from Richard III through interacting with blogging interfaces. Another studying strategy that is good is when I draw sketches of people I know from high school and then make a comic strip that only they would understand. This helps me feel better about myself when my English TA writes comments on my essay that only he can understand. We each have our private little jokes that only we understand, so it is pretty fair. This is a site with sketches I found in my room: http://verilyverilyverilyverily.tumblr.com/
Another good studying tip I like to follow is to create a lot of self-promoting websites about myself when I study because that indirectly helps me review through themes that connect all the different poems we read in my English course, just like hyperlinks do in HTML. This is my new rebranded web presence [via scary self portrait]:
After my exam on Friday, I am going on a month long Azn Bus Tour with my parents across Canada to Vancouver, and then across the US back to Toronto. I will see lots of different 'tourist attractions' that don't always get 'mad hits' IRL other than for the Azn Bus Tourists that visit them. I will visit their 'gift shops' and see their souvenir branding strategies and hopefully pick some new strategies up for promoting my new chapbook. I will also take photographs with my parents at all these different places to 'irrefutably prove' to everyone I know that I was actually at all these places IRL and they will not be able to say otherwise because that is what Azn Bus Tours are for.
By the way, I finished my chapbook a few weeks ago, and have been editing it for a few hours everyday. I sent a copy of my earliest draft to some people and they are pretending to read it right now. Since then though, I've made a lot of changes. I am using an editing strategy Tao Lin uses where he picks out his favourite passages or sentences in his writing, and then he tries to make every sentence in the book like those sentences he likes. So through this 'osmosis editing' stragegy, I will hopefully achieve literary fame and riche$ like Tao Lin. Maybe it will be done by September, but if not, it will be done by December.
