hurry hurry

i have to leave for the train to work in about 20 minutes, so the following words will be more hurried and mispelt than ever before; not that i really give a shit.

hong kong

my parents want me to go to hong kong: as they will be there too. i will be going on wednesday and returning on sunday. life makes such demands on me; and only a wanker, such as I, can make glib comments like this about a free plane ticket.

snows of kilimanjaro

finished new york trilogy by paul auster. i quite liked it. i'll tell you why next time. i read some short stories by hemmingway. goddam he was one good short story writer and snows of kilimanjaro is an outstanding piece of work. every would-be, wannabe writer should read it and read it again, and then read it repeatedly forever just to know how lucky they are not to have a gammy leg in the middle of south africa and be brimming with stories.

bootleg mood

after buying dylan's newly released bootleg, i was in a bootleg mood and bought let it be... naked by the beatles. i know it's a different kettle of drums, but i thought it was ok, not fab.

time is nearly up...

saw kill bill vol2. it is better than the first one. how the hell does she punch her way through 6 feet of soil? i loved dayrl hanna: what a bitch, and what a scrap in budd's trailer. i loved the finale: the story is so much more interesting than another grand duel at sunrise. what a clever man QT is.
