Headline from a World I’d Like to Live in

Drey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:52:54 +0000

Subject line in an email this morning: “Rare shark stolen from Dream world.”

Another winner rescued from the spam filter. This piece is entitled “Colored Day”.

Tired? The world is grey? Can’t see sunshine?

Design Patterns

I received some killer stock info today. I have excised all but the most poignant paragraphs of the message. It really seems like they are trying to tell me something, the way dreams sometimes do.

My New Band Name

Today I received a spam entitled “Decomposable Blot.”

That’s awesome.

Found Poem #367

Once again the embryonic Google hive mind reaches out to me with its faltering grasp. This time, a little piece entitled “Cleveland Heep apartment community.” A fan of Lady in the Water, perhaps? The main character was Cleveland Heep and the film took place in an apartment community. There is a heavy theme of signs and their misinterpretations.

The story unfolds

Drey — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 19:15:00 +0000

Another message, from a completely different email:

up, and they hurried along then, not caring if it was trolls or goblins.
The light was in front of them and to the left of the path, and when at last they had drawn level with it, it seemed plain that torches and

This is starting to form a kind of waking dream narrative. I’ll be pretty disappointed if I stop getting these messages.

Poetry Spam

Drey — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 16:25:00 +0000

Today I received yet another bizarre spam containing only a few lines from Tolkien:

Or will you be flying?
Your ponies are straying!
The daylight is dying!

There’s a weird urgency to it. I feel like I’ve been given an important message, yet I don’t know what it means. If I were paranoid, I might be a little concerned that the message came from an “Abdullah Xu.” A Google search yields only a single web page.

The more spam like this I receive, the more I think that this is evidence of SkyNet groping for machine sentience. I mean, what else could it be? There’s no ad here, no viagra for me to buy, no virus attachment. Nothing… just this:

Let us begin

Drey — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 04:23:00 +0000

Whatever program is used to generate spam with random bits of eloquence, I want it. I plan on doing a David Byrne-style book that reinterprets spam as art.

I mean, just check this shit out. I present to you Exhibit A, entitled “Why?” from Lorie:

“Let us begin,” the court president, a bald-headed and pudgy fleet admiral, said with fitting solemnity. “Let the trial open, let justice be done with utmost dispatch, and the prisoner found guilty and shot.”

You must tell me more about it, but sit down first, get comfortable.” He led Bill to a deep, upholstered chair, then turned away to extract two plastic cartons from a dispenser. “And have a cooling Alco-Jolt while you’re talking.”
