The GAFIA Blues

Nic Farey pegged it: Lord, there ain't no cure for the GAFIA blues.

(Yes, really. Fanzine filksongs. He's already posted four of them.)

I don't have YouTube access (or wetware audio capability), and will have to wait for a Text version, but.... somehow "GAFIA Blues" sounds wrong. GAFIA is, by definition, intentional.

FAFIA Blues, now, Yes!!! *sigh* (And I say that as someone who has to look at the keyboard to make sure where the ! is, so rarely does it get used.) It's true that I mostly just lurk, nowadays, apparently having slipped into Intake, rather than Output, Mode (yeah, i'm bi-polar, that way), but the memory of 8+ solid years of FAFIA, even though it was decades (astonishingly) back, is still both clear and (extremely) painful.

Not that there's anything wrong with an occasional brief bout of GAFIA -- a vacation is usually good -- but I suspect that you're currently (and probably only briefly) semi-FAFIA for business/economic reasons. You should be able to weather this without any serious problems. I think you are, even more than most fans, capable of coping with The Real World.

I have been enjoying these. Nic's a total looney, and this is A Good Thing.
