I think it's an archaeopteryx. Day One.
Well I've added water now so we'll know in forty-eight
hours. I bought it today in South Kensington for... ah, American laptop, it
doesn't have pound signs... two pounds and sixty-five pee. I thought “something for
the room”. It was an odd shop that, painted tin trunks "in the style of
Jaipur lorries", scarves going for a grand and balls of twine for forty
quid, so actually 2.65 for an archaeopteryx was very reasonable I thought. I
took it upstairs to the till but there was no till, just a touch-screen beneath
a tapestry besides which I ostentatiously hovered clutching the purchase and a
fiver while the staff served free Turkish coffee to a troup of
sonorous poshoes instead. But am I not also posh! Am I not sonorous! I may be between
beards, these trainers may be fire-damaged and this belt quite obviously my
sister’s but my fiver is as good as theirs. I very nearly just walked out with
it. Did you, Charles Bukowski! Yes, I nearly did! That would have been great... It
was an excellent day... I glimpsed Jennifer Tilly in the V and A. Better still I
heard her. There is simply no verb for her voice. What both purrs and quacks?
It’s like a sackbut if a sackbut could ask for directions. And I've just learnt she’s fifty!
And the Marx Brothers didn’t start making films until they
were in their forties! But that’s not why I may not be leaving facebook just
yet.
Look
I haven’t been able to find that strand of a hundred insults that I
promised, but looking back over my "wall" here are some of the things I've learnt about
myself since I logged back on:
“Which "Winnie the Poo" Character Are You?” I have completed the quiz, and I am Tigger.
I am simply the life of the party. Life can get bumpy, but that's okay -- I
won't notice it anyway! (And it’s “Pooh”)
“What kind of lover are you?” I have completed the quiz, and I am in the top 5 %.
"Are you truly eukaryotic?" I have completed the quiz, and I am probably an evil
virus; re-enroll in college-level Biology.
"What Taylor Swift song are you?" I have comleted the quiz, and I am "Tim McGraw".
Who is Taylor Swift? Who is Tim McGraw? None of this matters. I am Tim McGraw.
"Are you on a boat?" I have completed the quiz, with the result “You're on a boat."
“Femija juaj I pare…cun apo goc???” I have completed the quiz, with the result “Cun..”:
But there are so many more quizzes still to take,so much more i have to learn about myself.
Join me tomorrow then, once I’ve run off these three sketches I hastily
promised Gareth Edwards for tomorrow HAHAHAHANOOoo... with the archaeopteryx
at half mast, and find out what I should get pierced. Or there’s one
called “WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?” Maybe I’ll take that.
Okay this formating's going mental. (I haven’t read Charles Bukowski. Is he good?)
