Afternoon, fiends... Someone wrote a while back that physicists generally struggled to finish reading anything that wasn't to do with sigma to the doodah over pi times Eigen-howsyourfather. Who was that ? Oh, let's call them Belinda. Well, Belinda, I spent five years pretending to know all about Newton and that German fella with the white beard and thesedays I can scarcely start a book, much less finish one. I'm building quite an impressive library of untouched paperbacks I can tell you - Atwood, Kennedy, Chekhov, Carter. I'm hoping to broaden my horizons a little this summer - lazy August days lounging just feet away from still-cellophaned volume of Proust, or perhaps a sun-dappled evening in a beer garden with a slim Derrida text poking out of my pocket - Waterstones receipt still inside its unsullied pages. I did my best to get to the bottom of "Larry Holmes", the short (ha ! That's a joke - I had to use the bloody scroll bar) story on the Genghis Khans website, but started to compulsively skim a paragraph in. This is no reflection of the quality of Ms Campbell's writing, btw - as I pointed out earlier to Belinda, it's me. I can't hack it. Liked the bit about the streaky carpark and the grandma into metallurgy, though. Seamus 'hospital food' Campbell had this to say:
glo-worm are exceedingly pleasant at times, but that cover of "friday i'm in love" was awful.
Ah, but isn't all about context ? And in the context of "271 DC Bands Interpret The Cure", it was a gobful of sugary goodness on a broad plate of lukewarm gruel. Besides, I hear the singer's living with a right hardcase. So watch it, pal. Right - I'm off to take my brain to another dimension. Pay close attention. Mike. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
