I'm at the Pleasance: centre Edinburgh Fringe and this woman is shouting at me. She's really upset. She's a nurse. I'm 'involved' in that nasty public building down the street that arrogantly using up so much precious public money. It's true, I suppose. Someone comes over to ask her to leave because she's making too much noise... I leave instead, explaining that I feel I'm the cause of her upset. Actually, there's no problem with passion.. I respect it. But it is upsetting. I stay over in town, and meet mum next day for lunch. Then through this pneumatic castle outside the Sheraton (from where I'd earlier phoned in sick from a comfy bed along the lines of 'curiouser and curiouser'). I go alone to a play in Georges Square in the evening done by some Oxbridge types... very good.. they asked me after if I worked for a newspaper or a magazine as in 'reviewer'. Anyways, it's called 'The Dispute' by Marivaux, and it features a wonderfully histrionic performance by a Ms. Zannah Hudson playing *Egle*. Then, later at night, I play champagne socialist with a maxed and two young lads thought I was going to beat them up: how twee is that? declared that they was not gay but loved me : how twee is that? so some of ... well how high a volume level is life supposed to be at? I haven't even mentioned the brief encounters with other characters, including.. ok, Gordon, stop showing off, and you're writing a weblogue in the wrong place. Place/ (dis)place No matter how hard you try.. you always end up somewhere. I scan the titles on these bookshelves: To reflect what? Is it easier to think up: Than to think nought? I shall quote; For company's sake: How can we do God's will, says Coufoutain in *L'Otage*, when our only way of knowing it is contradicting it? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
