I like to press my fingertips together in front of me or tuck my hands into my sleeves so that they are stiff. But one would look even more dorky doing that.

I heard that So Solid Crew commissioned the Pinefox to write a song for them. But this "commission" may go the way of the grant for your book on fairy tales. Do you think it's better to use 'fantastic' for an element of fantasy and 'terrific' for an element of terror? I'm not usually this precise. I was about to say that 'Marx and Engels' is a fantastic song, but that's not right: it's good for the exact opposite reason. Has someone already pointed out that the B & S site now has a writing archive? But they forgot to include Stuart's previous entries under the Who section: the one about his school band and the one about going to the laundromat. Somewhere in the SW part of London near the French institute next to a confectionery where they give you your change back on a tray, there's a laundromat that I went to once in 1993 in the pouring rain. I passed by in 1999 to see if it was still there. It was. It's funny how places seems compressed and faraway, from the wrong end of a telescope, when you return to them. On Saturday I watched A Hard Day's Night on video. George Harrison was a very good dancer. All the girls were crazy about him. In the scene where he's teaching that man to shave, he reveals lovely arms to rival Stuart's. There's a girl in the audience that they return to several times during the televised performance. Her adoration is too intense for happiness. The Sunday before that I watched Cathy Come Home. The girl resembles Cathy. Especially when the girl says his name and when Cathy's husband comes back to her in the hostel. It's weird to think that this film was made two years after A Hard Day's Night.
