Spring Kitsch
Posted Mar 25, 2001
Abounds on the Starship Titanic forum. The clientele seem to be pretty highly represented by the hearts and flowers brigade. This is all very saccharine, if well-meaning. In response to lyrical doggerel about spring, I posted a bit of doggerel of my own.
So, hello then spring
Apparently you're here
But we couldn't tell
What with the cold and the rain
I wonder if
You expect me to remove any layers
Not bloody likely
You're going to have to try harder
Still, I suppose
The floodwater is pretty high
That's a sure sign of spring
And the spate of new viruses
New lambs too
Just ready for the foot and mouth
Sweetly piled
Upon their dead mothers
Oh and the birds
They're pretty active
Those that aren't
90% down in numbers
You bet it's spring
Mother's day flowers
Because let's not forget
The saps also rise.

dinner with the vicar and his wife
Posted Mar 25, 2001
fun for a radical atheist like me... but then he's an unusual vicar. Doesn't quite fit the conventional image.
The gerbils are committing incest all over the place. Jim is going to let them carry on and see what happens. He swears they'll self-regulate when numbers get high. He should know - he's the expert on rodents. Diana and I wonder if the self-regulation will involve any nasty forms of infanticide.
gig on Monday. wondering if I'll make any cock-ups. Got to take it easy on solos - don't try to do anything too clever. Jim is going to put in a word for me with is ex bass-player who is looking for a sax player for his rock/funk band. Could be good fun.
Still wondering what to do when people pick up contact and then drop it. Should one enquire why? Ask if it was anything one said? Wait? For how long? Leave it completely and write it off as one of those things?
