Steve B - I don't agree with/ apprehend a 'cosmic consciousness', and, while critics have labelled some of what I write "magical realism", I don't. It's just plain old fantasy to me.
Sorry I' but I thought you coined the term "magical realism" yourself.
The point I was making was that some individuals can become so involved with their own fantasy that they feel that they have some connection with the characters that they create, hence childhood "friends".
We tend to forget, as adults conditioned to only accept the "acceptable", that those imaginary constructs are as real as, almost, everything we see as real (all but that we touch or feel, but then we all have strange feelings occasionally, eh?) It is in this vein that we construct our own mythology and have done for generations.This is a bit "out there" for a forum discussion but if you want to PM me, I would love to explore the concept with you.

Stash it in the Beaglehole
when they've looted the Moneybin.
-
And also, I'm not surprised to hear the French won the rugby tonight.
-
It'd be interesting to see the party vote.
-
Which obviously they were not tallying, so I'm saying hypothetically.

Sorry, just had to mention that as I know some misguided males who think sport is more important than politics.

Yes, we understand. Surely that means that now Italy is going to beat Australia, though, right?

Do you think Crowley gave Jimmy those deamonic guitar solo's?.
Or not?.i dunno about Jimmy channelling Crowley, but he bought Crowley's old house on the banks of Loch Ness and apparently...
Since Crowley had lived there, it had been the site of a notorious swindle involving many of the local farmers and a fictitious pork sausage works. Everybody on the Loch thought the place was haunted and bad news. Jimmy Page, longing for a countryseat, thought it was perfect."
the great sausage swindle of Loch Ness sounds a bit Pythonesque!

The name Beaglehole makes me cringe in more ways than one.
Wasn't he the ETS guy?. -
giovanni - of course!
(Wont upset any of my family in OZ - we're just sort of hack workers there (highly trained nurses, middlemanagement very experienced textile workers & such) and dont really go in for sport...Go Italia! (or whatever the team name is.)

Anything's possible. We live in unusual times. Did you see that star over Mt Victoria last night?

Sport is politics in some places, Hilary.
-
Aparently there was more than one Beaglehole
-
Prof. J. C. Beaglehole started off one of the major collections at VU- as I understand.
Stand to be corrected...ETS? Means? -
JC Beaglehole - distinguished VUW history professor of last century. He may have smoked a pipe.
Giovanni - the Wallabies could all be incubating swine flu and might collapse at half time, but they are winning at the moment, sorry.
-
Anyway I thought all Beagles had holes or was that Baegles or just bagles or bagels or badgirls or bargirls or burgles?.
Or even "I shot the burger" -

No, although soon my eldest is going to start insisting that we get up at five to spot Matariki and I'm going to become painfully acquainted with the sky over Mt Victoria. I'm going to have to start practicing my "it was cloudy so I didn't wake you up" line.
-
Fob him off with "even the Maori dont start looking until the 3rd week of June" - this from a Kai Tahu who is singularly averse to getting out of bed early and knows - to the minute! - when Matariki will show over the horizon!
-
(For a large fee - say, another of your Nonna's recipes?- I'll let you into the minute-)
-
You're on!
(I always try to convince him that it's best seen in December, around eleven pm when it's warm, but he doesn't want a bar of it.)

Duncan Garner has observed that at least Graham Henry and Mils Muliaina will front up together, compared with the isolated and graceful Melissa Lee.
-
I miss Linda Clark from regular broadcasting. So damn sharp again on TV3's election web special tonight.
-
Her and Garner both reckon Lee's political career is over, though they disagree about Shearer's future.

I actually quite like Melissa Lee. She should come over to our side.

You mean the dark one? :)
