End of year good tymz

post-itSome exciting things have happened lately! Namely, Going Down Swinging re-posted one of my Killings columns, about Angie Hart AND THEN ANGIE HART RETWEETED THE PIECE, THANKED ME AND THEN FAVOURITED ANOTHER TWEET ABOUT IT WHICH MADE ME VERY HAPPY.

Also I started reviewing for the Readings Monthy, which is cool coz I get to read new books before they’re released, including John M Coetzee’s biography.

Of course, I’m still publishing too much about Beyonce and pop-music. This was the funnest one to write all year. And I don’t plan on stopping!

ALSO though I have wrapped up work as Killings Columnist I’m still doing some writing for them – xmas piece up here!

Merry Xmas and everything okbye!

2 cool things.

1. Kill Your Darlings Issue #10 got a write-up in last weekend’s papers, and my Del Rey article got a mention! Read about it here.

2. My latest Killings column was published a few weeks ago – an interview with Helen Hughes, co-editor of the totally rad new contemporary art journal, Discipline. Hughes told me all about how the journal started and why it’s so special (it is, you should read it). Interview here.

get yo funny on…

So my latest Killings post is up and it’s all about women and stand up comedy. So read that bad boy (or girl) here.

 

In other news I am taking a literature class at an expensive private boys’ school this week, as in teaching it, on a book I haven’t read since second-year uni. Thankfully that book is FRANKENSTEIN because so what if I don’t know how to teach, who doesn’t love a living assemblage of  the limbs and other assorted body parts of dead people? More importantly, who doesn’t love a knitted frankentein’s monster that is also a cat?
