Sinister: nevermind the bollocks

[Kirsten Kenyon]

  it's funny that of the ten films playing on the plane from london 
today, one of them was a sex pistols documentary and another was sid 
and nancy.  i think i was the sole person on the plane who watched 
either of them...definitely the sole person who watched both.
  here is a sad story:  i have spent the past month rambling about in 
europe, and i thought it might be nice to keep some sort of journal 
of my travels.  i am, for some reason, still working toward an art 
degree, so i bought a brand-new sketchbook before i left and spent a 
good deal of time filling it up...drawing the angels in florence and 
turning them into strumpets, things like that.  it wasn't a very good 
sketchbook, but it was full of funny little drawings and a number of 
songs.  one morning in amsterdam, aimee and i woke to find a dear 
irish boy crying in our room.  we took him out for pancakes and ended 
up having a grand time with him, running around amsterdam and 
giggling at all of the cute boys.  i found out later that not only 
was he absolutely lovely, but he was a sinister fellow.  needless to 
say, i was having a ball, and on my birthday he wrote a pretty poem 
in my sketchbook.  i think that the poem was the only pretty thing 
that has ever been in any of my sketchbooks, so i was very happy.  i 
had to leave the next morning for london, and as soon as i arrived 
there i went to use the telephone...set my beloved sketchbook (now 
complete with birthday poem) on the little ledge by the phone and 
leaned down to get my change...and when i stood up, my sketchbook was 
gone.  i don't know what sort of monster would up and steal a 
sketchbook, but it made me cry.  i bought a new one, but it's empty 
and even when i fill it up, it won't have any pretty poems in it.  
the world is scary.
