Free things in the post


On the weekend I made up a little book to sell at a fair I was going to.
It contains 1 (one) story.
It is not very long.
If you are interested in seeing it I would happily send you one.
You should email me.
chriseast83[at]gmail.com
It has a colourful cover.
If you live in the UK I will send you it for nothing.
(If you live outside the UK we should sort something out for shipping yeah)
I did not make many of them.

BTW!
I always have stuff to post.
If anyone ever wants something then they can send me their address and I will send them something.

Work pays for the postage.

I am an ego. I am an eagle. I am so fucking cool it is unbelievable. I am the only person in the room. I am the only person in the room worth talking to or about. I am an ego. I could fight anyone here and win. I can see through your clothes and imagine you naked and that is fucking cool. I am just the right amount of hot. I have ideas and they are awesome. I should be prime minister. I should be president. I should be the first black president. I am a fucking genius. I have an IQ. I am a walking IQ machine. I am an IQ which is twice whatever IQ you have is. I rule. I could live underwater if I wanted and if I did all the sharks and killer whales and shit would be scared because I could fuck them up. I own loads of records and any one of my records could fuck up all of your records. I have impeccable taste. I am impeccable. I am not God because God does not exist, yeah, sorry to tell you. I know the truth about everything. I knew the thing about Santa Claus before anyone else did. I am going to move to Hollywood and make a film about myself. I am going to make this film and star in it and everyone will say "Wow." It will be the biggest and most successful film. I will make a book of the film and it will win all the awards and be a best seller and everyone will say "Wow." I will be a rapper. I will have a big house but I will make the house myself on the weekends but not because I need to but because I can.

obamaland


This morning I wanted to order a chapbook (or 2)
They were made and sold in the US
USA
The books were like $2 or $3 or $7
But then the shipping was like $15 to the UK
I am in the UK
I am scared by postage which costs 7 times what the item costs
I don't know what to do
Last week I sent a book to the US and it cost £1.40
(About $2?)
Last week I sent 2 books to Australia and it cost £2.40
I don't know what to do
I want these books
But shipping is bad
If someone wants to help me out and act as my SHIPPING AGENT then we should do business
(this post is weird and boring, I am sorry)

Christopher East aint nothing to fuck with




DJ BERNDT!!!

DJ put out some much appreciated kudos for Chick Magnet on his blog. That was real nice of him, and it means that I will have to be less lazy about it. If you don't already read DJ's blog, why is that? It is rad. I like it. He seems to be worried about PANGUR BAN PARTY. He probably shouldn't be so worried. It will all work out in the end. I think now that I will be writing something for PBP and it will be one of the greatest things ever.

on PANGUR BAN PARTY right now there is a poetry series by Kristen Shaw. It is called 'We Are Only Bodies' and it is good. It makes me feel scared but also warm. I don't know what I am talking about.

My friend Line & A Dot has been doing a stupid cartoon probably when she should be working and helping people.

I watched the film JCVD on the weekend and it was kind of weird to not see Jean Claude Van Damme kicking people in the head for 90 minutes. Ben Mirov had a look back at some of Jean Claude's finer moments.

There is a nice video on Noo Journal of Chelsea Martin doing a poem at the request of Colin Bassett. It is part of the Rad Poetry fundraiser they are doing which seems like a fun idea and possibly something worth investigating.

'Hopefully' Bureau De Books will be doing a stall at the Bicycle Basket Bazaar in The Fishmarket Arts Centre in Northampton this saturday. We will be selling copies of 'IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A MISTAKE' and perhaps some other things. I intend on writing prose/poetry to order during the day. If you are any where near Northampton then you should consider coming because it is always good fun and you should say hello to me because it would make me feel better about myself.

I am looking for fun things to do. If anyone has a project they would like me to work on then they should email me chriseast83[AT]gmail.

my last will and testament

When I die I want you to spend all of my savings, and a bunch of yours, on the biggest and dumbest looking memorial you can find. Like, pay some old guy thousands to carve some statue of me pointing towards the sky, standing with one foot resting on the back of polar bear that I just wrestled and killed. Oh, and in big solid gold letters around the base of the whole thing put the words fuck you poor people, this monument costs twice as much as that operation your kid needs.

a review of Naive, Super by Erlend Loe



I read Naive, Super. It made me buy a watch. Is that what was supposed to happen?
