bluetoothed up & a-quiverin' with cleanness non blue teeth falling out

this here picture of brighton old pier with skylarks flocking in amazing ways above it was taken on my phone, i now have the power to transfer from my phone to my pc, and onwards to the internet.

all bluetoothed up i am and proud of it,

got the bluetooth dongle from a computer fair today, would have been £30 in a shop, got it for £17,

managed to get through £80 in a just got paidfrenzy today, wired off £30 to josiah, bought 2 books, the dongle, some blank DVD's, food, catfood...

an epic trip into town it was, got off the tube @ russell square where the budgens has metamorphasised into a tesco metro (wierd), walked over to tottenham court road, further even, got a little lost finding the computer fair but found it in the end, then straight south to oxford street, into soho and over to charing cross road for foyles bookshop, a few stops on the central line to chancery lane then a walk up to top nosh for the best falafel on town (not for much longer), then walk back to russell square and home, blisters on my feet by the time i got home, only a half hour or so here before i was out again going to a gig in st pancras old church, but more on that later.

i've been lusting after buying a book all week, borrowing books has been great but i've really felt the need for my own path again, i bought wildlife by richard ford & the history of the seige of lisbon by jose saramago, both in the harvill press, i've got the rest of night of the hunter and then maybe these three novellas by maxence fermine before i can read either of them, it is so delicious this kind of waiting, they are going to be great, i can feel it.

night of the hunter is great, i've really warmed to it, it's always the same with a new writer, it takes me a little while to get with the style, two lines have really struck me that i remember from the film, one of which i'll record here:

I feel clean now, Icey. My whole body's just a-quiverin' with cleanness.

which i so loved in the film, willa harper sets her mind at rest about the preachers intentions towards her...

the edgy nature of the book, the imagery, it's great.

top nosh i've mentioned before, turns out they are shutting at the end of the month as i knew, but not reopening, must go in there again next week to see the owner, thank him for his great falafel.

for a while now i've been feeling one of my back teeth with my tongue, maybe a month or so, i've noticed ridges in it which feel odd, just now, since posting, feeling there with my tongue and out comes this lump of metal, a filling, my only filling in fact, i didn't realise the ridgy tooth was that one, so now i'm all gappy at the back there... feels kind of fascinating in there now...

so this gig, belgian R, grat violinist that i worked with for one gig, in this church that's been there (or at least there's been a church on that site) for 1600 years, great gig, although i felt a little distant from it, maybe because i was wearing glasses...?
