In the past seven days I’ve been meaning to write about (and may return to later on this week�):
How fantastic the Storylines exhibition at the Tate Modern is. The photos in the exhibition are his documentation of time and place, whether it be a New York bus ride or a Democratic Convention in the 1950s, […]
On Sunday night I was heading home from one of those weekends where nothing very much is planned beforehand but somehow lots of spontaneous, entertaining things happen; I was on the H&C line watching the lights of the city pass by and listening to Californication on my stereo. It was about 8.30 on a […]
Dammit! I’m feeling all christmassy and it’s not even December yet! What with Mr. Wabson posting that very ‘festive’ photo of me christmas shopping last year, Laurie wandering around Sainsbury’s humming the ‘Little Drummer Boy’, the reapparence of Gingerbread lattes in Starbucks (mmmm…) and the Christmas lights on Oxford Street, there is […]
There’s something about this city, it sucks you in and keeps you here. It’s a city that can by turns be fantastic, frustrating, amazing and awful. You can be anything you want to be and no one gives a damn, the city can be whatever you want it to be and it’s different […]
Notting Hill Gate, 1:25am. Sat at the bus stop.
Two men run up.
Man #1: Those f***in c***s man! Whare we doing letting those f***in c***s into our f***in country!
Man #2: Yeah but did you see that punch man? I f***in nailed him! Did you see his eye hanging out?
Man #1: Yeah it […]
Vetoed: this evening I shall mostly be taking a break from obsessing about the US election (aka the-election-we’re-not-allowed-to talk-about), I will of course be returning to this but for now more frivolous items…
You know its been a good weekend when you wake up, still very drunk at 10.30 on Sunday morning and the first things […]
Some part of me had always believed that the Bush presidency was an aberration, a blip, a four year mistake, that the American voters would realise the need to remove him from office and that come January he would no longer be in the Whitehouse, but he will be. He is going to be […]
It was really weird watching it last night, a bit like being in a time warp, as state after state went the way it did in 2000. There were no surprises, following the networks’ mistakes last time round in calling results, especially Florida, no one was making any rash predictions, David Dimbleby even said […]
As has been detailed by pretty much everyone else in the world, the Scissor Sisters played Brixton Academy on Sunday night. When I saw them at Final Fling this year they were fantastic- it was one of the best gigs I have been too, the sort that lifts you up, leaves you on cloud […]
In a few hours time we may or may not know how this has gone. We may be very relieved or we may be devasted. I have been in meetings all afternoon and so totally disconnected from the internet and missing out on my last minute election news fix - apparently I […]
