In Palinode's Palace: I Call It "The Dog"

I Call It "The Dog"

Since the dawn of time, mankind has sought to use free online animation tools to amuse himself and feed his depraved appetites. And I am no exception.

I discovered xtranormal.com a little while ago, but was discouraged by the cogent and funny cartoons that people were creating. I wanted nonsense. Then I thought, Aidan, be the nonsense that you want to see. Or, make the nonsense.

So I gave it a shot. Who would have thought that I would create such gripping drama on my first attempt?

Their names are Bill and Kate, by the way. They work at an important publishing house in New York.

BILL: My heart is sorely troubled.

KATE: Was it love? Or mistaken identity? Both are troublesome.

BILL: ...because a dog, black and sinewy, with eyes like glowing coals...

KATE: Came to you in your dreams?

BILL: No. He took my idea for a live sketch comedy show. [arm sweep]

Well, look at you. You're here. That means you've got a personal computer and an internet connection. Is it the twenty-first century already? For more information, read about me. Or try Wikipedia.

First-time visitors will have no idea what this site is about. Neither do I. When I started keeping a weblog I went out of my way to make it cryptic and inaccessible, the notion being that only the dedicated would stick it out. This notion works for high modernist literature but not for some guy with a blog. I decided to entertain and amuse instead of frustrate and discourage. I still do not know what my site is about.

If you'd like to communicate but feel uncomfortable leaving a comment - for example, you want to tell me that I write like a much less hairy person, or that you have nothing against short people, but why do they have to flaunt it? - please email me at: palinode @ gmail . com.

If you have a question that you wish to have answered on my site, you can ask me at: askpalinode @ gmail . com. I invite you to read the Frequently Asked Questions page on the subject. Nobody ever asks me any of the FAQs, but I've heard from business leaders that people like them. And I want to be a business leader. I want it so bad.
