About Me

MySpace isn't. It's everyone else's.

What's a swinger anyway? I like swings but they make me feel ill.

It's amazing how many less people want to be my friend since I stopped being a swinger and put up a more sensible picture...

My Interests

Far too many to do anything properly.

I'd like to meet:

Friendly puppy-dogs.

A Scotch on the rocks.

Music:

I'm trying to learn to like Jazz, but not making much progress, except for Thelonius Monk solo piano. Debussy. Noodling on piano. PJ Harvey. German new wave. New things

Movies:

Seriously, on the whole, a massive waste of huge amounts of money.

Television:

Useful as a big screen to play Xbox on. Otherwise I'd rather watch comedy on my laptop in bed. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Malcolm in the Middle are favourites at the moment.

Books:

Poetry - although I seem to like owning it more than reading it. Shoring up your walls with words ought to be useful one day, both literally nd figuratively. When the deluge comes, I'll be able to build a trillion mini paper arks, enough to save the cockroaches.

Cookbooks.

I'm in the market for a complete set of Freud in hardback if anyone's got a dealer.

Heroes:

Nah

Recherche

Philosophy provides no consolation prize: my heels on bricks return me to the cobbles of a city that we've only strolled inside your arms and on the verge of sleep. Proust and his time. TIME!! If it ...

Schoolteacher's desk, ca. 1940

Schoolteacher's Desk, ca. 1940   When my words fell short, I blamed it on the shabby beige formica of my desk. Instability of mind echoed  caused? by a dipped surface and one buckled leg was ...

A SNAPSHOT OF THE UNCANNY

A Snapshot of The Uncanny   I was flicking through photographs of you earlier today. I know all your expressions so well. The real smile, the 'I'm not even trying' fake smile. The 'I am trying' o...

A GOOD MOMENT IN A FAIRLY CRAP WEEK?

I was just vacuuming - not one of my favourite chores. When I finished I pressed the little cord retractor button, and the whole length of the cord snaked gracefully back into the body of the cl...

Although the sun had already risen over the peak of Scragg Knoll, a chill mist still wafted up from the springy heather lining its lower slopes. Fanny McBottomley lifted her pert highland face to the...
