Who can I rage at!? Who can I maul? Which cretin is to blame?! Who committed this travesty?! I speak, of course, of my own decision to leave my beer in the freezer for too long, this committing myself to a writing session of slurping on slush puppies. Ah biddy thee well… what are we talking about today again? Let’s read an email.
“Ric… it has been a long time. We received the postcards from Mongolia – but we could not decipher them, merely the phrase ‘the bas

Nuala Ní Chonchúir - Two Poems
We are pleased to welcome Irish poet and writer Nuala Ní Chonchúir, who brings two published poems dealing ‘with the power of advertising in the beauty industry over women.’
Mannequin Envy

No really, there’s no rationalisation for what you do, and you are Satan’s little helpers, OK? Kill yourselves, seriously. You’re the ruiner of all things good. You are fucked and you are fucking us, kill yourselves, it’s the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show.” _Bill Hicks

So What do You Do In Life?
The first peculiar ad I saw was at the bank. A teller was explaining to me why I shouldn’t continue using my debit card when I don’t have any money in my account, when my eyes drifted to a poster behind her. It was a picture of a handsome couple looking at an ultrasound of their unborn child. Lots of pretty blues and yellows and reds. They looked sincerely happy and it made me feel lonely.
