In chickfactor#10 "Stephin" 'Merritt', who is a journalist for the Independent on Sunday, flatly declared - I won't say '*roundly* declared' - that he didn't have a kitchen.
Yet it's possible. I'll be impressed if he says he doesn't have a fridge. You know Stuart makes defrosting a fridge sound a lot harder than it is. The one that came with this apartment must be at least from the 70's - it's brown - and all you have to do is set the knob to 'def'. Of course, water leaked from this tray all over the place, but that was coincidental. That's quite precise to say it couldn't be 'roundly'. I don't think he could say anything roundly. Something too jovial, simple, and goodnatured about it. But tartness, sourness is fine sometimes. Sorry for starting out so dull, and it's not going to get any better, but sinister does wonders when you're feeling down. (I'm trying not to spread.) Archel must write with arched brows, and Laura Llew's poem is just like her. I imagine that at 53, she'll have young men dedicating "Portrait d'une Femme" to her. Instead of being a translator, Peter Miller could have shown Cameron Crowe a thing or two. And why does Christiaan!!! seem so slippery? So Stuart was 27 years old when it happened for him. Now I'm two years overdue. I've started dating my life from the ages mentioned in songs. A good thing is that the ages get higher as the singers get older. 27 at 23 seemed far off, but now I'll look forward to looking 58 at 58. You know it's strange. Why is he so popular without trying, only being himself? Hey, you know that picture from Select last summer when Stuart had his hair cut short and his skin was freckled, with such texture that you, I ached to touch it? Why should it be that way sometimes? The best thing about him is that he seems to do things for their own sake: he has his own rhythm and sometimes you get the sense he's really flying.
