Ooh I love day 2 of a chilli

A Chilli or a curry, yes!

A doner or a pizza. No!

 

[cdstefi]

actually, there is some chilli left over.

sorry, was finishing a story and didn't actually eat

Do you live in a garret, drink cheap red wine, not eat, stay skinny and write devastating high art fiction or poetry?

You are Arthur Rimbaud and I claim my fiver.

Just so people are aware, @Yesok1 and I are not going to hijack this thread like we stole it tonight.

no. no. sometimes, not any more, certainly not as anyone who has read my stories will attest.

"go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud"

I'm certainly claiming my fiver for the fierce Patti Smith quote.

do the watusi with it

 

[cdstefi]

Whenever I think of Patti Smith I just feel sorry for the people who aren't old enough to have discovered her when she was in full flow, absolutely showing the world how to be not conventional, full of piss (in a river) and vinegar. She got lumped in with punk but like Tom Verlaine she was already way beyond that.

all that style 'neath the marquee moon

"Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine" has to be the most drop-dead opening lyric ever.

I'm also very enamoured of every single last fucking word of Free Money. I have on occasion screamed that note-perfect in the car, driving to Sainsbury's from work.

I’ve had a very long day and am in a reasonably bad mood, so please play nice.

Sorry to hear that. Me too, if it helps! Had a work day where I have tried so hard to try and do the right thing, but my colleagues and I have been flat out blocked from resolving the client’s issue by the executive. Never been so monumentally furious about upper management decision making.

Going to go sulk with a glass of wine and hope some writing occurs to cheer me up!

Please feel free to vent - always happy to listen.

Oh sounds like a very frustrating day! Mine is all ok, just squeezing too much into it has been the problem

When are you doing your fun adventuring? Borough, ripper walks etc.

If I get everything done, Saturday afternoon. Got so much to do tomorrow. I do not want to be working on Saturday as well.

The boy looked at Johnny... can't help thinking she was channelling a bit of Mapplethorpe or some of his mates in this song.

I'd love to join in, but I don't know what you are talking about.

Don't take that as you need to stop though!

I’ve been quietly watching in complete bemusement due to my lack of music knowledge, but always good to see people having an in depth chat about something they like

 

[Wand3rlust]

Me too!

Just one of those things, you know when you bump into somebody who's into the same music as you, for the same reasons? And you immediately start nerding out and speaking a different language (mostly quoting beloved lyric snatches), one that nobody else knows but the two of you know intimately without ever having learnt it.

This would be me at a party, immediately ignoring everybody else because I found a fellow traveller and nothing else matters in that moment. I have done this at parties.

NB, this doesn't happen with Phil Collins or Abba fans. It has to be artists who nobody else has a clue about. The bond is tighter that way.
