So, you’re feeling a bit down. Maybe things aren’t going the way you’d have imagined for yourself when, as a wee child, you had visions of your success as a star of stage and screen, or as an international playboy and jetsetter, celebrity look-a-like, ruthless cybernetic mankiller, or affable variety show host with secret knowledge of the end times. Such are the disappointments of modern life. But hey, it could be worse, you could see the signs that your whole being exists as part of an endless loop of bit parts in somebody else’s drama. You could even get the notion that you’re fictional.
Over at EDF today I’ve got a quickie that poses just that, The Goon Eternal. So put on your good shoes and third best suit — and stick a Raymond Chandler novel in the left pocket and a Philip K. Dick one in the right — and go check it out. Oh, and vote. Unless of course you didn’t like it, then don’t vote — you don’t have to lie for me. Although, you know, if you wanted to that would bring us a whole lot closer and I’d start telling people what wonderful friends you and I are.
