Trina's just sent me an email.

Subject: I just want

To be with you all the time.

I don't. Fuck that--I like being by myself.

I think in the long run this'll be the cause of us splitting up. I wish I could meet someone like Kim, who likes dancing, is a druggie and a drinker, who fucks more than one bloke at the same time (literally, at the same time), but who sleeps in the same bed as me when she's here. Very difficult when you're 48 and live in a city where the women are generally boring, can't drink, married, career, car, timid, dull, and can't/won't dress because that's a vulgar debasement, an unseemly attention to a shallowness.

This post has been brought to you by Rosie's Perfect Pear Perry, from Dafarn Dywyrch, Llandegla (7.5%). Me and Trina will stay together and get over it, probably, for a bit.

Time for some drama! Do we get to vote? Will you auction off life-changing decisions?

Fuck me that was quick! No idea what will happen, at the moment.

Just try and see it as a compliment rather than a noose… and well, be honest with her, I’m sure that’s one of the things she loves about you.

(I am saving myself drink-wise - beer festival this weekend, I’m sure you’d approve ! )

It might be a compliment but it highlights a basic difference in how we see our future and makes me think it won’t work in the long term.

The beer festival–wish I could be there with you!

my primary companion and i discussed this topic yesterday - about us, not you and Trina. it is far easier for me to find gentlemen who are comfortable with the open arrangements than it is for him to find women that do not wish to be exclusively paired. this is also the main reason i don’t have a girlfriend, too. you think it’s tough to find a straight woman who is comfortable with ethical non-monogamy? try to find a lesbian wired that way!

Oh you have my sympathies! It’s difficult enough, without elminating 90% of the candidates.

M / 60 / 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.
