things you have noticed.

shoes hanging from the electrical lines in my neighbourhood. a new pair at a new intersection every so often. i have a hunch that it's the work of a local pimp - like a warning to non-paying johns. but i'm moving to a less exciting neighbourhood on monday so i guess i'll never know.

the cambridge badmusic-tescobag-cyclist rode past my window today

also, cambridge phenomenon no. 2: 'disco kenny' (i forget, or never knew, how he gained moniker) enters pub ... strolls up to table after table of people exclaiming 'the world's gone mad, ya gotta laugh, havent ya? the world's gone mad, ya gotta laugh? -repeat for five minutes- walks on to next table, same again... the world's gone mad

re: my last one...

put a few things out at the curb before moving, including a mini ironing board. less than an hour later a roving brawl broke out between a few of the local junkies and in moments my ironing board was being swung about as a weapon. someone got well-whumped with it a couple of times. the brawlers ended up around the corner before the police came. now i'm wondering if my ironing board was seized as 'evidence.'

it wasn't supposed to turn out this way.

Some bloke used to walk 'round Sainsburys in Camden BELLOWING at the top of his lungs "The best of luck! The best of luck!" Just another soothing facet of life in Camden.

A neo-hippie playing American pop hits such as the Spin Doctors' Two Princes in the downtown street corner.

before the election, on placards along the A24, the letters:

M A U D E
(soon-to-be-victorious tory candidate)


after the election, the same letters rearranged:

M A D E U

Last night at a bar I saw a mouse running between this woman's feet and around her purse. I was expecting her to freak out but she never noticed it even though it was there more than it wasn't. She laughed with her friends and had a good time.

Funnily enough, I had that happen to me in a pub a few months ago, but it was a bloody great big rat. I didn't freak, but I certainly moved my feet quickly (it was definitely wild as they were knocking down the old hospital near by, and disturbing all kinds of things). I got very annoyed with the landlady asking me "are you sure it wasn't a mouse?" as if the difference between about two and twelve inches was an alien concept for me to be sure about.

at the listening station at Aaron's Records, right next to me was a very tall blonde lady in her 50s or 60s, dressed in a mini-skirt, stockings and heels with hair all done and tons of make up, listening to the head-phones, DANCING AS IF SHE WAS IN A BROADWAY SHOW OR ALONE IN HER BEDROOM. she was doing the walking up and down the aisle thing shaking her hips, all kinds of hand motions... raised more than a few eye-brows in the shop. oh and she wore a gallon of perfume but still the stink shined through.

the crazies... the real stars of Hollywood.

all over paris above street signs someone has affixed tiles to form colour mosaic images of space invaders, ships from galaxian &c. the pixellation of the originals has been preserved and the mosaic form is therefore fitting... apparently it has been going on for about ten years & has been attributed to an anonymous artist

Yeah - he isn't particularly anonymous though! I have a t-shirt by him, and there are maps of his invasion of Manchester (telling you where the mosaics are), and you can actually buy mosaics yourself.

Great idea though.

 

[rewch]

nice... & thank you... what's his name?

 

[Yoghurt Sothoth]

Great idea though.

the other day I was sitting in my studio working, turned my head and there was a spider, of the daddy longlegs variety, hanging all the way from the ceiling, not 3 inches from my nose, at eye level. I watched it closely for a time, and put a finger under him. when he touched my finger he quickly turned around and climbed back up to the ceiling, all wobbly like.

i noticed that a large number of pigeons in london have only stumps where their feet should be. who's taking all the pigeons' feet?

People who feed pigeons do not help to keep pigeons healthy. The food pigeons get from people may lack essential nutrients, which pigeons require for overall good health. The risk of injury to pigeons attracted to the Borough by pigeon feeding is also higher. For instance, many pigeons suffer missing and deformed feet after catching them in man-made structures.
