styxbrook - diary of a drunk

http://www.abctales.com/story/styxbroox/my-life-oy-vay-9-diary-of-a-drunk

If you want to read a funny, quick-paced rant then read this. The reason I enjoy reading styx's diary is the way it jumps from thought to thought and has a tinge of the sad and dark whilst at the same time seeming flippant and light due to the style.

I don't think all the jokes work, and in fact it is funnier when the joke is unintentional, or just comes from the tension between the serious subject matter and the slapstick of the every day.

Not sure I really enjoyed the imagined conversation between Prescott and Bush, but that is beside the point, as this is written as a diary and can do whatever it likes. I liked it.

i too enjoyed these ramblings - and yes i agree its Tom thats weird. Juliet

(me too about Tom)
I love Styx's diary entries. Funny but as Ferg said sad in a real way - I also enjoyed his one about the death of his Father. That was also painfully sad but written lightly jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

 

Great tone and quite sad-funny but I don't think the Prescott/Bush stuff works, it doesn't give any original insight for me.
