Dear friends: only one person wrote "The Waste Land". Adapting it is a crime against ethics and good judgement.

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night with a briliant idea; other times, indigestion.

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

another day, another aborted attempt at expanding my twitter "following". let's see where a coffee, cigar, and newspaper takes me.

@khareen it's less terrifying without the footnotes, believe it or not...

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

...does the poem continue to be after we cease to be?

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

if we assume that all lazy university teachers are right and the hollow men alludes to nuclear war, what happens when the bombs drop?...

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

awoken, with a start. hues without colour, shades without light. pallid skin, ghastly white. ever look like that waking up?

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

alright, alright. time to get something done. good morning london, good night insomniacs.

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

found a copy of "the big sleep" by r. chandler. always had a penchant for detective novels, not so much for knight-errant.

i'm starting to think that april isn't actually the cruellest month. it's fairly cruel, but the cruellest? december, maybe. or march.

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

enough playing with twitter for one morning - busy day ahead.

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

so it's time to resuscitate my career. i hear "the waste land" still frightens students - maybe i should break into the horror genre?

[T. S. Eliot @RealTSEliot]

sitting on a terrace in london, smoking. they say it kills! still, a beautiful morning nonetheless.
