A Lovely Story
Finally I get around to uploading the Two Of Us I mentioned in the sidebar. Viewing the big version of it on flickr should make it readable.
Enjoy. Cry.

That was such a touching story Peter. It made my eyes well up, especially the part where he starts writing down all the words he doesn't know. Go education!

Ah. My favourite part of the magazine. I'm very curious - how did you write the story?
Posted by: Kungfujen at May 18, 2006 09:01 AM
I'm glad everyone enjoyed. Kungfujen, I didn't write it. But allow me to speculate wildly about how they do it.
I reckon they sit down with them individually with a list of questions and just riff for an afternoon or so. Maybe they go to the pub. Maybe they take a stroll around the garden. Then repeat with the other person, possibly saying things like "your mate told me you got herpes in the war", hoping to encourage a hilarious anecdote.
If anyone actually knows, please tell us.

'Cause it reads as if someone's transcribed an afternoon's conversation, and it's a style I really enjoy reading. Where do they find these pairs of people? How do they go up for selection, and who decides which pair makes it to publication? Is there a waiting list? How does it make it into the paper? I wonder if The Age/SMH has considered publishing a compilation of these stories ... interesting ...

I think they published a collection last year. I haven't seen it around though.
I will try to sus out all the answers to these questions for you through my extensive network of contacts (1) at The Age.

There's a person who edits the column, and selects the people. Sometimes publicists or media types try and get a story in.
I read this when it came out - absolutely beautiful story. What a great couple of guys.

I haven't been up to anything today. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven't gotten anything done recently, but oh well. Not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning.
Posted by: Sten69363 at January 27, 2007 02:17 PM
I just don't have much to say these days, but so it goes. Today was a total loss. I guess it doesn't bother me.

I haven't been up to much lately. I've basically been doing nothing , but it's not important. I can't be bothered with anything recently. I've just been letting everything happen without me lately.
Posted by: Sten22834 at January 27, 2007 04:40 PM
I feel like an empty room, but eh. Nothing seems worth doing. I haven't gotten much done today.
Posted by: Sten28878 at January 28, 2007 12:39 AM
Not much on my mind lately. My life's been completely boring these days. I've just been hanging out not getting anything done. So it goes.
