the acute significance to us as a country.

south africa as the market focus at arguably one of the most important book fairs on the literary calender, the london book fair. a whole programme designed around our authors, publishers, agents, poets, academics etc etc.

Is it  to do with the Volcanic eruption in Iceland?
Forget the world cup,  Natural History is overshadowing things and causing havoc with the airlines.

she was asking a question. i dont even know where the bookfair is supposed to be in the first place and Rosy is not saying why we can be there and when i read it I did not realise that by GET there she meant sa cannot travel to the wherever its happening. i just didnt get most of what she saying in the context of what who've just said now. now i get it.

I always wonder the same thing.

And if she does, does she have any friends and how do they communicate?

in other news basically of something that was also of significance to the country. and also tying us into the global disruption that has taken place over the past days, with regards to the volcanic ash that shut down airports.

south africa was what is called 'the market focus' at the london book fair. which is a very important literary event and platform. every year a country get the honour of being the main event. this means that the entire focus of the fair would have been placed upon south africa as a country this year. our writers, and publishers, agents, poets, academics and others who walk within the arts and culture sphere. with a planned series performances, seminars, collaborations, panel discussions and celebratory events in different venues across the city. but it is not just about the partying, it also involves the benefit of focus that would hopefully lead to some deal making.

with south africa as the main focus, south africa was still sitting in airports around the world unable to get there.

and the drama that then became this situation.


...now onto other more 'personal' matters. sigh. theres no need to talk of the girl like shes not here. goooosh.

so one at a time then...

So do you speak like this in everyday life?

in 'everyday life' i try not speak if i can help it.

I always wonder the same thing.

And if she does, does she have any friends and how do they communicate?

depends on what you mean by friends. if this is in a general sense, then i dont have friends.   i do however stay in firm communication with myself though. if that counts.

I seriously have also wondered if she speaks in riddles in real life. Its fascinating.

i dont know if its me who speaks in riddles, or if 'real life' itself is the riddle.

I wouldnt date this chick, she's too weird, id have to ask for google to define every ish she speaks, have my laptop on when i want to shag!

hardly. but anyway, sweetie chances are i wouldnt date you either. although i must say, i dont know if i take the whole 'shes too weird' thing in a bad way. quite frankly, i think its quite alright if you would consider your own self a bit weird also. but shock and horror! hey maybe we would find we're the same afterall. imagine that hey. oh the possibilities.

Yo! This is such a disaster. And there was not a big hype about it in the media, only realise MUCH later, what this actually meant for literature and the arts.

So did the arts and culture dept/brirish council etc.  not organise something at the BookLounge? if yes, how was it (I know nothing can compare to missing London)

*I know my post is a bit late, but you know, im interested*
