I've just asked Csilla, whom I bumped into on the stairs in her pyjamas, if she'd mind if I turned the router on and off because I can't get it connected. "Of course of course," she said, and then did this little laugh. I can't imagine a happier way I'd like to share this house, and I should put more effort into showing them how much I love having them here.

Last night, in bed, any of her movements giving me an agony of pleasure, I said, looking wonderously up at her, "I love you Frances." I knew, I could hear, what I was saying. This morning, she said "You were very drunk last night. You got a bit carried away. Don't let's read too much into it." The fact that she was distancing herself from what I said made me like her even more and made me want her again.

Good woman, that one. Smart. Maybe someday you should love her, but for now, have fun with it.

Exactly. Let’s stay calm and not get misled by anything else.

M / 59 / Bristol, "the most beautiful, interesting and distinguished city in England" -- John Betjeman [1961, source eludes me].

"Looby is a left-wing intellectual who is obsessed with a) women's clothes and b) tits." -- Joy of Bex.

WLTM literate woman, 40-65. Must have nice tits, a PhD, and an mdma factory in the shed, although the first on its own will do in the short term.

There are plenty of bastards who drink moderately. Of course, I don't consider them to be people. They are not our comrades.

The more democratised art becomes, the more we recognise in it our own mediocrity.

Tell me, why is it that even when we are enjoying music, for instance, or a beautiful evening, or a conversation in agreeable company, it all seems no more than a hint of some infinite felicity existing apart somewhere, rather than actual happiness – such, I mean, as we ourselves can really possess?
Turgenev, Fathers and Sons

I hate the iPod; I hate the idea that music is such a personal thing that you can just stick some earplugs in your ears and have an experience with music. Music is a social phenomenon.
Jeremy Wagner

La vie poetique has its pleasures, and readings--ideally a long way from home--are one of them. I can pretend to be George Szirtes.

Using words well is a social virtue. Use 'fortuitous' once more to mean 'fortunate' and you move an English word another step towards the dustbin. If your mistake took hold, no-one who valued clarity would be able to use the word again.
John Whale

One good thing about being a Marxist is that you don't have to pretend to like work.

The working man is a fucking loser.
