Right, that ‘Phil’ business was entertaining – and so was Garret, from time to time – but it’s dying a death. www.make-phil-and-his-fucking-contraption-history.com. I’m in Romania right now, having a ball, relaxing, enjoying myself, having an actual holiday (I was told they were good, and I thought I’d take the plunge, so to speak) and taking about four thousand photos, you’ll have to sit through some choice cuts before long. I’d put up a photo now except for the fact that this damn Internet cafe doesn’t actually have USB on this computer (This USB business is important because it means I can attach the memory card from my spanking new Canon Digital SLR to the computer and… Well, you’re clever people, you’ll get it.) and it’s pretty slow. I know you’re all going to say something like “Hey you, like what is the fuck this, you know?”; to which I’ll probably reply “Well whatever fuckarse, because, hey, you know.”.
Special shout out to the beautiful, clever and occasionally dubious Oana, who is chaperoning me, owning me, taking care of me and showing me around Romania. Shouts also out to Roxana, who has suggested many clever things to get up to, and the girls of ExamPlus for keeping Oana on her toes and being a generally great bunch of people. I’ll be curious to hear what they thought of ‘Intermission‘ featuring Colin Fucking Farrell which I thought was a reasonable Irish film with contemporary Irish culture, and ‘The General‘ which is a pretty good representation of Ireland in the nineteen eighties.
Anyway, better go. Oana’s getting bored and we have a train to catch from (as she would say, and probably will) a dubious train station, else we’ll be trapped in Sighisoara tonight. I’ll try and post again, but I’ll be back on Wednesday night, and by Saturday you’ll all be wishing I’d stayed here; by then Garret may actually seem like a less painful option after all.
Oh, and one more thing; I finally met Ovideo! It was sheer coincidence, but it was icing on the cake for a great week. It really was.
Oana is’t the only one getting bored!
Any one fancy a chat about the metaphorical relationship between the war on terror and sylvanian families?
Me,dubious?! Neeeeeh!
Unrelated, but, saw that your mother has a piece in the current Adams Contemporary Art sale. Est €1200-€1500. It’s damn beautiful too!
If only it wasn’t tax return time.
I’ll have to settle for the Corban Walker.
Garret, I’ve always felt there was a direct line of reference between the Timbertops and the Bush admin.
I thought I was pretty strange but all of you, you takes the biscuit.
I’m back, at any rate, and I’m going to make you all suffer just a little.
Ah the timbertops yes, if you look closely at early Nazi propaganda films you can see not only the Timbertops but also the Moomins and a renigade Flump. Also watch the assination Of JFK you can see the klangers on the grassey knoll.
