a quick 12 syllable game to warm the heart strings....

urban archeaologist seeks e sourcerer
for aquisitive days out and magicke nights in...
must like digging, travel and all kinds of landscapes

More installations and interventions.. Writing The Visual

I think I said something like this:

"...some kind of low resistance plastic linked by a system of tubes would work... you'd need a pump and an oscillator - or something to blow air in and out - but , basically - everything you're talking about can be made analogously to the internal combustion engine. it's all about displacement, pistons, pressure, vacuums - that sort of thing. I can also see how the visual presentation of your ideas might become more achievable - and interesting - by considering the basic principle you are dealing with - the absorption and re-distribution of energy - across several different platforms: you can look at mechanical engineering; kinetic models; automata etc. You can also look at the idea of absorption and re-distribution from the perspective of medicine and biology - particularly shi at su and massage and the internal absorption and re-distribution of energy in terms of in and out flows of food and emotions - which I know interest you.

I said all that and more. All for free. They don't want me to teach tho - so stop reading.

Thin slices of city, augmented in every detail. Wiki webbed with invitations to annotate in detail. Landscapes with lists. Photographs, paintings - whatever.

Social Urban Archeaology for E sourcerers.

Yep, that's it.

Christmas Day (An Homage To Nick Park, Bob Dylan, VAn Morrisson and the Proclaimers and Plainsong)

With the wide mouth of a great poet we say:

"Morecambe and Wise" and "More Cheese?"

It's Christmas Day
The years failings will make us cry
We remember godfull or Godless to take stock.

-more or less palatable-

Nick takes Van to desert island
in camper-Van among the rolling hills
as we go from market town to market town
stepping lightly in homage to the giants of word and song
who did not stint

And we look up and we remember
very few things
from which to make a litany
or obituary.

At 11 there will be no common message
Popes, Queens and Cardinals do not speak together
over our internet connections...

Whether good, bad, Flaherty or German Byte -
We will not know
'til his littany written, he, wrapping his last
(and billious as a snake after a rat)

ascends to mince pie heaven
and Boxing Day
The football....

All's well in England

connections

connections: where am i?
all alone
can I have some fish
no
its cold

if not 'alistair the scot, then who am i?' (words collected from experience of others)

nothing owed
and see what tommorrow brings
goodnight to the crack whore
and yes to the x box
vicariously,
out.

Chocolate Hostages

releasing the chocolate hostages
is no more than a euphemism for 'dropping off the kids at the pool'

enough said
I have 19 minutes left on this public terminal computer and a man with bleached hair has 'Europe' as his ringtone. Twat.
He is in his forties and is seated beside a young foreign language speaker with eyebrow pircings who appears to be in blondie's awe.
I'm only really saying what I see and should go get a paint brush or a camera. I'll go for camera.
As if there were secrets in development.

In reality, the eye is the best camera if not the longest lense
It doesn't get caught up in mixed metaphors, or doggerrel, easily.
Im going to see another human being for cake - which is disgusting on top of the full English with extra black pudding I ve eaten.

But Hey.
What is 'but' in word classification?
Not a preposition? or conjunction?
Yes, preposition
so: "But hey", is 'perposition-exclamation'

mmmm

A List

There Zounds!
However Jeez!

or maybe its  a conditional conjunction?

So -
