Comments on: Friday’s Five Minute Interview: Omar Clew http://www.kathrynkoromilas.com/fridays-five-minute-interview-omar-clew.html A writer neither here nor there Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:50:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Marc Lowe http://www.kathrynkoromilas.com/fridays-five-minute-interview-omar-clew.html#comment-650 Sun, 03 Dec 2006 21:56:52 +0000 http://www.kathrynkoromilas.com/fridays-five-minute-interview-omar-clew.html#comment-650 Dear Ms. Carey: An anagram is not just an anagram (as an apple is not just an apple, unless viewed as "just an apple" by the untrained eye). I'm not sure that we've gone all the way down, at least not yet, but the temperature is rising for sure -- just ask anyone who has seen Mr. Gore's documentary on Global Warming and isn't a Republi--, er, a hot-head. As far as jealousy goes, it should be obvious that I'm not the guilty party, although Clew would love for you to think so. It is obvious, isn't it?!? Best, ~m Dear Ms. Carey:

So, this is why I write what I write, as it were. Well put, Clew. Omarously yours, d I write what I write because I write it; that is to say that when I write it is because I cannot not write, for to not write would produce no writing at all!

Well put, Clew.

Still... As anagrams go, this Clew goes farther than most, and deeper, too (here we've sunk to the lowest level yet, down to the hot, procrustean center of this rotating globe). But is that reprehensible, devoid of worthiness? I'd say that any anagram as talented as Clew deserves our consideration and applause. He has already gained our hilarity. But Clew, thou innocent clue-less one, beware your cousin's jealous hoverings. Break free, dear Omar! So–we’re reduced to interviewing anagrams now, are we?

Still…

While, admittedly, I did chuckle at a few of his pretentious jokes (or was he pretending to be serious?), the whole thing is just so...I don't know. Cousin Clew, if you're reading this, very funny! Shouldn't you be working on that translation of <i>Aru hi no muimi na jinsei</i> instead of giving "interviews" like this? I love him, of course (he is family, after all), but sometimes, well... Thanks for putting up with this, Kathryn. You're a more tolerant human being than I! ~m This is truly tasteless, Clew!
