Like a Can Opener in a Worm Factory

 ,...if you have any bits and pieces we could use for costumes/props etc, silly as you like (swords, canes,mop caps, cloaks, silly boots, you know the drill...) bring'em with? Should enliven proceedings...

 Rantette of the day is over the boots ads with the slogan  'losing weight is the best thing I've ever done', and here is why. Many reasons, see fbk, but quite apart frommy own personal gnarghhh,  here's a few:

 plans just fell through, if anyone's around this eve and doing anything interesting or fancies a goblin, text me?

Someone wrote this to me earlier: Actually, it’s kinda funny. I’m not an ‘English bod’ as it were, but I can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms, yet you being someone that essentially breathes the language, has no problem with them. Knowledge is power perhaps?


...and my answer turned into a bit of a mission statement. So i thought i'd inflict it on the world, especially that part of it on here who have to put up with my relentless acronymage!:( cut for rambling about why i use language the way i do ) Maybe?

 

 

( Orhan Pamuk- the Museumof Innocence. Note thetact with which i did *not* spend the whle review ranting about how unlikeable the main character is... )

 

( Leanne Shapton -Important Artifacts. I am evangelistic about this novel. )

 

( Edmund White - City Boy. Includes dirty jokes about my sexual predelictions and attempts to say 'it's all about sex, really, read it for the blow jobs!' subtly. )

i have the lovely Kai, from Sheffield, coming to stay betweeb te 15th and the 20th. She's never left Sheffield before and this is her first visit to London. Might anybody be around to help me entertain her, just in a hanging out chatting, mabe going round camden kinda way? Neither of us have any money, but any suggestions of free Cool Stuff to do would be very welcome. Iknow it's just before Bardcamp,but if i tried to organise a readthrough (i'm still burning to do Women Beware Women! and in fact other things!) would anybody fancy it? When would suit? Might have to be in my tiny garret unless anybody has any other suggestions/offers of places, and i appreciate it's terribly short notice and everyone's probably busy already,but it felt it might be worth asking nevertheless. I've screened comments just in case people don't feel like sharing the intimate details of their social calendars with the world, but will probably unscreen unless requested otherwise - if you might be free, even just in a 'quick cuppa so she can see London isn't just me,the BL and a heap of books' kinda way, that would be marvellous
