A very interesting very flowing passage.

I really liked the sentiments.

Top hole!

I was in a bookshop yesterday when i realised that i had arrived at an edge, kept picking up great books i've read and wished i hadn't yet, but no idea about the rest, about the new ones. any suggestions? just so you don't completely waste your time on this: amis (both), bellow, murakami, rushdie, miller, v woolfe, h james...coupland....david eggers even, hmmm can't think right now....but these are favourites....so anything along these lines of greatness?

From BBC News website today:

" Nintendo plans one-handed joypad"

I think the Japanese are being a bit slow here. Every bloke I know discovered the one handed joypad before they were 14.

...

if anyone knows anyone who has a flat or something in london available ... for any length of time ... can you please mail me?

my son and his g/f are finding themselves homeless in a fortnight and just can't find anything quick enough ...

cheers

just wanted to say that i liked this poem.

I just finished reading the most beautiful debut novel I have read in a long time. It's called Gem Squash Tokoloshe and it's by Rachel Zadok. I think she won some sort of competition to have the book published.

I'm tired and I'm upset. I would not be a priest in a confessional if my life depended on it. F-in-law (the real one, the well meaning one, the one i like) has just told me a load of stuff about his marriage to my m-in-law I now realise i can't tell my husband, because to do so would be to stir up strife and upset and acrimony... so i'm left with the knowledge and i'll have to lie by omission. Thanks a fucking bunch f-in-law, glad you feel better.
