it was wonderful to read la fruitloop's report back from the pre-nuptial SIMIster picnic - we are all missing mr bapps i'm sure and it's good to hear that he's being treated well, snogging, washing up and generally slaving for his aqua-haired fiancee WHICH IS JUST HOW IT SHOULD BE! i was momentarily concerned to hear that rachel's fanny looks like isobel's, then i remembered that she is american, dude, so it isn't nearly such a strange thing to reveal... it is raining here again. but my friend anna just emailed from her new home in tenerife to say that they've had 5 cloudy days in a row, so HA! meanwhile, my sister is going to puerto rico soon. my boss is in spain. and i am going nowhere, waiting for the pay to rise as sarah martin might have sung but didn't. i attempted to rent 'storytelling' last night but the other solondz fans in brighton were too quick for me. we watched 'hurly burly' instead, which is rather good in a wordy, mamet-esque sort of way. so i'm ashamed to admit that i fell asleep on the sofa at 9.30pm, waking up with bits of haribo sour mix stuck to my face and a horrible lingering smell of curry. i am living a dissolute and tragic life, you know. however, as i write my mother should be negotiating the purchase of a lovely sparkling new washing machine for my lovely sparkling new flat. so maybe it's not too late for me to turn it all around and stride through existence in crisp cotton shirts, free from stains of any description. i'm sure there is something about launderettes that drags people down, and if you're not a fan of marx or engels then what are you supposed to do while you wait for your spin cycle to finish? i haven't been to glastonbury, or glasgow, or anywhere else beginning with 'g' that could provide some interesting Content, so perhaps i'd better stop. luv archel xxx ps. a picnic? in london? on saturday? with MY reputation? pps. i wonder if in a few days time they will discover a thin and wasted version of ken chu in an internet cafe somewhere in london, fingers seized up over the keyboard, having lived on nothing but red bull and smut for a week... ****************** http://archel.blogspot.com Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.
