here’s an interview i did that will be appearing in a geurilla art magazine at some point in the future:
1. Lets have some background for those who have never heard of you ( admittedly not many folks )
star sign, favourite movie, favourite poem, favourite food, favourite song -
aries/march 31, 1983, the professional, something by pablo neruda, fil’s jambalaya(fil says u have to link him here philogynist.blogspot.com, la vie en rose by lucille star
2. About your Blog ? Would you agree that you blaze a trail at the forefront of the genre?
i guess initially i did but now i’ve been doing it awhile i’ve uh laid the foundation for others to rip me off so now i’m like britney spears and there’s all these lindsay lohans out there no wait i guess i would be like chloe sevigny? anyway luckily i’m not a carbon-copy of myself so’s i can still come up with original shit and not just be all caps-lock yelling about cats and drinking. i believe i’m the biggest blogger in toronto and the most part all of canada but yet i don’t have a babillion hits daily, a steady flow but not as much as the celeb/tabloid blogs. anyway yeah i’m a big deal but there are people who are even bigger deals than i am, they just don’t blog and that i am envious of. it would be nice to be big sans a blog but due to deep-rooted laziness and insecurity this is my thing for now. anyway quote this i’m claiming to be the biggest blogger in canada cos no one fucking else has but that in and of itself is v. canadian.
Where do you see blogging at as a social phenomenon ?
socially it isn’t. bloggers are social cowards. the only phenomenon about it is when bloggers have blog parties and those happen seldomly so it’s like wow they are gathering at a bar and there won’t be internet or laptops. if someone showed up to my party with a laptop i’d like to think i would tell them to fuck off but i know i would just ask to use it to moderate my comments.
Can you explain the art of blogging or the difference between a good blogger and a bad blogger?
no. at this point i want to be smarmy and keep my “secrets” but even claiming them to be secrets seems trite. it’s not rocket science what i’m doing here and this is assuming that you even find me to be “good” – if you want to have a good blog you basically only have to be interesting and/or hold people’s attention. if you can’t figure that out then i dunno, give up.
3. Describe your character in 5 words
sarcastic, endearing, abrasive, funny, genuine
4. Who or what makes you cry ?
seeing animals hurt, sad movies, oprah, any man crying, that intervention show on a&e
5. If you could travel to any time past or future where would you go ?
to when the beatles hit it big oh and i’m one of them.
6. If the war between the sexes is over who won?
men because they started it and made us bitches waste all this time having to prove ourselves as equal. men can be huge fucking assholes.
7. Can art imitate life anymore when life has started to imitate art ?
art can imitate anything always, no matter what and when life imitates art that’s fine too. this question is way open-ended and i have deleted my response three times already so i’ll have to approach it some other day. basically who wouldn’t like to have a friend who inhabits a world where nothing is really real?
8. Name 3 things a visitor to Canada needs to survive ?
lose the american arrogance if american, that’s about it.
9. Would you rather be pretentious and famous or serious and unknown ?
famous duh but am i allowed to be aware of my pretentiousness and go about it in a mocking sort of way?
10. Binge drinking – harmless or hopeless ?
depends on the genes and willpower but yeah not good for the liver
