Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

FRI31AUG

A brief check in.




Please don't begrudge me my time in Yurrip; I have been far too busy strolling promenades and breathlessly pointing at baroque churches and negotiating the London Underground to really win awards as a diligent blogger. I beg your forgiveness.


This morning I woke up in this room:







Tomorrow morning I fly to Paris.





If I fancy a stint in an internet cafe I will tend to you in the manner of a doting but slightly drunk parent. Of this you can be certain.




75 days til the next election.

You stayed in the bedroom set from the Moroco episode of Absolutely Fabulous? Or did you stay with my old friend Lord Manfredginsonstensington, that daft old British explorer who has recreated a room in his manor based on his experiences from the mystic east?

I hope you had a full English and are on your way to a nice continental.

I urge you, while in Paris, if Parisians themselves begin to annoy you, to visit the catacombs, and be comforted by their bones. And do visit Le Pere Lachaise if you can; it's sublime - though take a hankie in case, like me, you're moved to tears by the Holocaust memorials. Hope it's a fabulous trip. xx

You must have a lot of money to be able to stay in such beautiful accomodation. Have you thought about giving to charity ever?

Tres bon! or bien! or... that...

I do hope you check your email soon. Permissions are required as detailed in one from me, with perhaps an attached treat.

Begrudge you darling? That's jealousy you're seeing, nothing else. Enjoy!

Pica. You make a lot of rude and ill considered assumptions.
Have you thought about keeping them to yourself ever?

Turn my back for 5 seconds and you go and pack up the broadband-Kombi for a new hone AND flitter off to Paris.

Totally off-topic (what topic?), but someone in America found a photograph of Fits' doppelganger from 1954 in a makeup case at a trash'n'treasure. I shit you not. Go to:

http://tbl.squareamerica.com/archives/2007/04/the_way_of_all.html

scroll down to the 1954 photo and tell me that's not Fits. I'm thinking DeLoreans, I'm thinking Jean Claude Van Damme fighting himself, I'm thinking Tom Baker feeding me candy.

ps Fits, if you resemble the photo under 1954 when you're upset, then you had me at hello.

From my own experiences in Paris, I can tell you that the airport is not to be missed. Running the length of it to catch a plane, or sitting for five hours waiting for one, each has its own pungent Gallic charm.

Glad you're having fun.

My elite military terra form science officers have completed work on a genesis device. I shall be launching it tomorrow into Mars which should be wonderful lush productive park land within a month. So relax. By the time we run out of suitable planets in this solar system one of my interstellar transport project units will have completed their work. Most of the lads think the Hyperdrive boys have the edge, the physicists seem to prefer something based on warp principles, but my favourite is the bending of time and space by a drug effected grossly deformed navigator.

Real is a whanker, with a pronounced ‘H’. Lets fight. I sniffed out your IP and now I can see your harddrive. Change your opinion or I shall install Vista on your crappy machine for free. Then you shall truly know what a disfunctional system is.

Sorry my last comment was a mistake. Wrong blog. That was for Lefty's Blog. http://www.anonymouslefty.blogspot.com/
I could react as if it is all your fault, like the French waiter showing you the home he was born in from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. "I know it is not much of a philosophy, well fuck you. I don't care what you think. Fuck you then. Go on, fuck off." Very French.

Or you could remove these last two entries.

while you're in paris, can you find my ex boyfriend and make him love me again and come back to adelaide?
kthxbye

@carly

Finding the boy in Paris is possible.

Without any knowledge of your charms I suspect getting him to fall in love with you again is also possible.

But Paris vs Adelaide? Surely you're not serious?! It about as difficult a choice as daily visits to a proctologist or a cozy little wine bar...

If you really want this man then you're gonna need to stop bottom feeding in Adelaide and buy a ticket to Paris.

Just sayin'...

"Jess said: Wow, Will's really gone wild with the interior design, hasn't he? Hope you're having a ridiculously good time, you crazy cats".

OMG everyone, did you get that? UNLIKE THE REST OF US, JESS KNOWS MS FITS AND HAS THE INSIDE STORY ON HER TRAVELS!

All bow down etc.

Hey, is that you Rove? what the....?

Surprisingly enough, lots of commenters know Fits personally. If you didn't carry on like a pork chop being all sour-grapey jealous, she might even want to meet you. Don't feel left out.

Never know your luck in a big city.

Have fun in Paris, Fitsgibbon.

Is Jess not allowed to comment on her friend's blog? What a weird thing to say...

what the ...? said...
TheLastScientician and Anon: maybe I'm being harsh. I feel as if this is the place for interraction with "Ms Fits", you know ... not Marieke Hardy. Those who know Ms Hardy can email her. I don't think it's jealousy on my part; more irritation with smug "I know more than you" types who are getting off on finally having both an "in" with the cool crowd, and a means of broadcasting it to a wide audience.

And for a moment there, I thought you meant Karl "MC" Rove and wondered if I had missed some unintentionally misguided pop-culture reference attempt on his part.

I wonder if the enlarged eggcup behind the curtain is a urinal or in fact a giant eggcup?. Being a fan of pissing in things, and having pissed in most things, I would like to widen my “things to piss in list ” to include giant eggcups if they really do exist.

Enjoy your adventure fits lady

Paris eh?
And right at the start of the Rugby World Cup.
Coincidence? I think NOT Ms Fits.

I do not know Fits personally, but if it will increase my cred:

Hey, got your postcard! Give my love to Simon and the kids, I'll catch you next time at Anya's place!

Oh, right, we can only comment on the content of the blog, not the context from which it was written. I'll remember in future that I should not confuse real people with internet entities, and confine my commentary to media specific avenues.

It's only teh internets, not like IRL!!!!

LOL! ROFL! FOYC!

I can't believe you quoted exactly the same line from The Broken Shore that leapt out at me - I laughed out loud. Great book - great writing.

Say hello to Paris for me.
