A lateshift opens, like a pod birthing seeds into the air

I'm just digging into some Union Jack mini, which has been gifted to me, as a hospital didn't want comics, only magazines. It's more fun than I'd thought it would be, and the Israel/Saudi microcosm of Sabra and Arabian Knight is a cute hamhanded idea. And it wouldn't be the Marvel U's Britain without a liberal dosing of 'chippie' and 'crikey' despite the fact I can't believe real people use the terms with any regularity.

And re-acquainting myself with P-Funk goodness. Mothership Connection really has aged well.

03:15 / 25.10.07

Mothership Connection? Should I go in search?

03:18 / 25.10.07

Strange, I misread that as 'should I go to church?'

Hell DN, Papers.

03:18 / 25.10.07

o

forgot the O

03:21 / 25.10.07

I don't think I'd ever ask about church. Unless I was playing chicken with the concept of spontaneous combustion.

03:22 / 25.10.07

Have you never heard Parliament's Mothership Connection? You've heard bits and pieces or samples, for sure.

Check out the link and see if it looks to be your thing. Then, yeah, go out in search. Beg, borrow, download or steal or beat stand outside someone's apartment while they blast the album with a window open.

One of the top albums of 1975 certainly.

03:25 / 25.10.07

Heya, Venger. How's by you?

03:26 / 25.10.07

Downloading now.

I may try to write something out of it, I think. I need to accomplish some writing, I hate this crappy block shit.

03:29 / 25.10.07

Good. Even better now that I have P-Funk running through my nogging.

I wish I had a decent set of speakers to play it on.

You?

03:32 / 25.10.07

I'm kinda pleased with myself for going from more than mildly drunk to throwing out ideas and choreography on the TV-like thing (I need to start treating that phrase un-facetiously) like mad. The animators can't do it. The celebrity comedians? Producers and post-production people? Just me. Trying not to slur my typing and glad nobody can see you wobble over the interweb.

If there hadn't been a deadline I probably couldn't have come up with anything.

03:34 / 25.10.07

And the end result was still funny to me when I was sober this afternoon, so all the better.

03:43 / 25.10.07

Kay, we have achieved P-Funk. P-Funk and the wicked new CASANOVA. Plus a little Pavement and Joey Ramone.

03:44 / 25.10.07

It's been a weird day. I left the Margaret Atwood Boarding House this morning to get comics and there was a stag in the front yard. Like, Bambi's Dad. He looked at me, I looked at him, he looked at me. This went on for about ten minutes.

03:46 / 25.10.07

Right now Im achieving Bowie. Ya cant go wrong with Bowie. I shoulld be achieving drawing,considering its due on the weekend. But its killing me. So no. No art for Venger.

03:47 / 25.10.07

There's a Margaret Atwood Boarding house? Strange. I didnt realize she needed to be boarded.

04:21 / 25.10.07

When I moved in this apartment, a friend of mine said the house reminded her of a particular Margaret Atwood story with this odd little landlady in it and a house very similar to this one. So she named it the Margaret Atwood Boarding House.

04:29 / 25.10.07

I want a cute story like that for this building! I am so deprived of cute in-jokey stories. (I'm not actually, but it sounds/reads good.)

04:47 / 25.10.07

The last place was called the Elusive Number Six, a townhouse which was named for the townhouse my two spy characters -- Johnny Damocles & Teiresias Jones -- lounged about in between international escapades. And of course there was the period we lived at Green Street, which was, er, on Green Street and filled with mythic potency due to the sheer volume of crazy antics at the time.

Today's fun combination of songs: Sexy Results (Death from Above) / Vaseline (Elastica) / Erection (The Faint) / Orgasm Addict (The Buzzcocks).

05:13 / 25.10.07

Now that's a playlist. Though I would reposition Sexy Results to right before Orgasm Addict for narrative purposes.

Cute comics-related story with that Buzzcocks' song: somebody, back in the days of yore had a gag online about Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom teaching Rahne Sinclaire that song. May have actually been Ellis. And so, every time I hear the song, I get an immediate visual of just that.

05:16 / 25.10.07

Song repositioned and "Get Me Off" (Basement Jaxx) added to open it. Now to load it up...

05:21 / 25.10.07

Nicely done.

And rest happily tonight knowing you've infected my brain with Mogo/Solaris erotica. Naughty poses and everything.

05:22 / 25.10.07

Emerald Green Energy Construct Planet-sized body condoms.

05:33 / 25.10.07

What's interesting to me is that you aren't even the first person to suggest pairing them off. Or, so says the internet.

05:42 / 25.10.07

I don't know...Mogo and Ego, the Living Planet seem like a more obvious mix.

Or, to be timely, a Mogo/Ranx the Sentient City S&M thing.

05:48 / 25.10.07

Mogo and Ego would probably be too close to homosexual, literally, for many a fanboy.

Which would explain why I've never heard Ranx/Danny citysex approached before. Guest-starring a very special member or three from the Authority!

Mogo and Ego would probably be too close to homosexual, literally, for many a fanboy.

Well, it would be slash fiction...
