Excerpt

I'm stickin' with my previous position that I'd probably better stop posting excerpts from The Manuscript That Ate My Brain if I really want to flog it for publication at the (I hope imminent) end of the current rewrites.

That said, this bit (PDF) should be fair game, seein' as it's not meant for the manuscript.

Just a bit of background on a principal. And before anyone says so, yeah, I know: I do have my recurring themes.

Well, it's great to have the old voices back. Anna Maria Tremonti and The Voice on The Current, Ms. Finlay and Ms. Budd at As It Happens... real news every 15 minutes or so that isn't punctuated by annoying, juvenile banter... Ideas when I'm up to it...

Okay. It's mostly great. But is Stewart McLean still on the air? He's just annoying. And that Rogers woman over at Sounds Like Canada? She gets on my nerves... And don't get me started on that idiotic 'Sad Goat' thing they use to fill the afternooons...

I mean, ummm... yeah. Great to have everybody back.
