Bloody hell, Stoatie, do you ever sleep?

Alright, alright, quit drawing it out what's the book already?

Ganesh, I might ask you the same question!
Actually, I'm still at work. But any minute now I shall be leaving this fucking office for a swift pint at the early-morning gay bar in Columbia Road. (While I may not be gay myself, it's infinitely preferable to te early-morning Nazi bar round the cover).

Mmm, there is only one thing that beats the combination of my favorite way of enjoying my two favorite eens (caffeine & nicotine), and that's smoking a joint with a coffee and cigarette chaser.

Eastward ho good smoke blow

The book is Carlucci's Heart by Richard Paul Russo. Next, I am going to read Solaris by Stanislaw Lem.

Although there would be something oddly beautiful about hitting both on alternate days.

Nazis have their own bars?

I do sleep, honest, but had a fab night at Duckie (after snoozing Saturday afternoon in preparation) and, coincidentally enough, are planning to get up and go to the Columbia Road flower market a little later this morning - and may well hit the gay bar (gay bar, gay bar, etc.). Are you talking about the Royal Oak, or another bar?
 
 
Bastard Tweed
05:46 / 15.08.04
Okay. I'm all done tonight.

You have fun you crazy kid you.

Yeah, it's the Royal Oak. It closed for a while, then re-opened- it's much less "gay" now, but still friendly and full of fucked post-club people.

I don't think the other the one's "officially" a Nazi bar- but I've neaqrly had my head kicked in there a few times, usually for "looking gay" or "looking like a fucking pincushion". Make of that what you will.

Anyway, I've just finished all my work and it's pub time! Catch you all later. And Ganesh- you really should be getting some sleep about now!
 
 
Ganesh
05:51 / 15.08.04
Nahhh, got Monday and Tuesday off. Plennnty of time for sleeping later.

I'll maybe see you in there, although I don't plan on staying too long (I have to pack to move house).

Talk to the hand?

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong at all.

Is there, Socky?

"No, Carnie! You're compleeeeetely normal."

Thanks, Socky.

"Now get me some more rutabagas, bitch! I need rutabagas! NOW!"
 
 
Grey Area
19:07 / 15.08.04
Your hand craves rutabagas? How strange...mine's settled on courgettes for now. There was a brief period where it was partial to carrots, and one short flirtation with cucumbers, but now it seems that its taste is satisfied by courgettes.

Socky thinks courgettes are the work of Satan. He won't even pass me the salt when I'm eating ratatoille.

Oh, man. People finally go online and I've got to sign off. Meph.

Satan? Courgettes are heavenly! Socky obviously needs therapy...maybe a couple of sessions of soaking in Palmolive dish soap would help?

I’d completely forgotten what a pretty tortoise Flash was, you know.

Me: clean. Tired eyes. All fritzy from chugging coffee, feel like I should go for a run. Or smash through a brick wall, something like that. And how is Barca today? 'Been liking the adventures of Inlightenedment, by the way MC.

Ooh, hello Grey! Aubergines beat courgettes any day of the week. It’s established scientific fact. Don't make me prove it with sums.
 
 
Grey Area
19:17 / 15.08.04
Aubergines? Don't make me laugh. Courgettes are far superior, and here's a complex graph to prove it:

  
 
Bed Head
19:17 / 15.08.04
Oh, arse. One day, if I’m really really good, I shall learn to type at a normal speed. Goodnight, Mordant. My point about aubergines stands, regardless.
 
 
Bed Head
19:28 / 15.08.04
Google has kindly provided me with these quite genuine case studies.

Here’s what you get if you eat up all your aubergine:



And here’s what happens to you if you eat the evil, evil courgette.



There are the facts, right there in black and white. I’ll leave you to colour them in for yourself.
 
 
Grey Area
19:38 / 15.08.04
Hah! My evidence of courgette superiority is in hardcore CMYK-Smackdown-Style COLOUR!

Aubergines cause bizarre facial patternage:


Aubergines cause you to go insane and be tormented by minature goths:


The courgette is far superior.
 
 
Bed Head
19:41 / 15.08.04
Actually, I think they both look pretty cool. I dont think I'm eating nearly enough aubergine now.
 
 
Grey Area
19:44 / 15.08.04
You...you want to be tormented by miniature goths? Bedhead, I worry about you sometimes.
 
 
Bed Head
19:54 / 15.08.04
It looks like a good enough job. Beats digging a goth ditch.
 
 
Grey Area
19:59 / 15.08.04
But diggin goth ditches has such promise! Once it's done, you can get a load of goths and put them in it, end to end. And then you market your new Goth Channel.

*chirping crickets*

It’s just that kind of brash commercial exploitation that ruined goth. Why, I remember goth used to be all about moody introspection. Traditional goth ditches are for quietly rotting in, dude. Alone. With only a book of poetry for company, if you want to be fancy about it.
 
 
Grey Area
20:15 / 15.08.04
A book of poetry? Pre-printed? Isn't it meant to be a book of poetry that you have written yourself> For only self-written poetry can hope to convey the sense of alienation, gloom and sadness that lurks in the depths of your soul. And all that.
 
 
Bed Head
20:29 / 15.08.04
Personally, I favored the old ‘Shelley, with my own thoughts and insights pencilled in the margins’ technique. Depends how deep you’re digging this ditch.

But if you’re going that route, ‘tis important to make your own dust jacket for the book, at least. Can’t go with the standard Pengiun Classics cover. I’ve always found them to be far too good at keeping the dust off, for one thing. Useless for goth purposes.

Aubergines are better. They're purple, for a start. Much more goth.

Evening all!
