bullet points, for brevity makes me soul brother number one of wit.

saw 24 hour party people on friday. it was okay, give or take its assumption that half arsed character/plot development is fine if everyone knows the story anyway.
went to the love of diagrams launch on saturday (they really don't seem to come across that well on cd. hmph). too ( Read more... )

i had a feeling that it was you at sodastream. you were carrying a book in your pocket. what was it? i was going to say hello but i think you disappeared. we were the degenerates sitting on the treasure chest.
indeed the show was a memory for me to cling onto in a futile hope that it will never fade. i get scared that music will no longer effect me in a stupendous way however that show really broke through the useless callouses.

i thought that was you too, but i generally have a terrible memory for peoples' faces if i've only met them when i'm drunk. so i chose to just hang around up the back instead.

how the hell did you notice the book? i just checked and it's about only about a quarter inch taller than my pocket. anyway, it was raymond chandler's the big sleep and other novels.

hmmm, thats funny, as i am sure both of our demenours suggested that we had not noticed the other ( ... )

i had no idea you were standing behind me, otherwise i would've at least turned around and waved. weren't you up the front for a bit?

the book's just three raymond chandler novels - the big sleep, the long good-bye and farewell, my lovely. it's just generic noir stuff, which isn't really my thing in general, but he's fucking hilarious ("i was neat, clean, shaven and sober, and i didn't care who knew it", "they put as much muscular activity into a telephone conversation as i would put into carrying a fat man up four flights of stairs". ha!). it's a book i've had a history of misplacing, so i've only read the first half of the big sleep a couple of times before just getting out the video (one of the few times where the film's just as good. it has the best conversation about, um, horse racing ever.) - the plot's too convoluted to explain so i'll just say it's a detective story. i'm in the middle of the long good-bye at the moment which is about the same detective looking into the murder of a friend.

...And when I don't do nothin' but walk on by you say baby get a load of him"

James Taylor has got you down to a tee - he even foretold your new life as a superdupermodel.

I've been doing my new dance everywhere I go. I'm getting lots of funny looks though.

I'm not sure that I can better your effort of having James Taylor soundtrack your life, but I do plan on meeting a girl called Julie every Friday at Waterloo Underground. First I need to meet a girl called Julie though. I had a girlfriend in primary school called Julie, I should never have let her go. I think I broke it off because I wanted to play soccer instead, or perhaps I was being called gay for kissing a girl. God bless primary school logic.
