Yep. God bless Claire Bateson.
Congrats on the Times gig! Tell London I love her.
The Times is a big deal, you know. That's not the Malton & Norton Gazette & Herald you're all over the front of! I've brought it home to show Solveig :)
And now there are 90. I love the internet.
Up to 163
We had TV funnyman and genius {namedrop} Richard Stilgoe {/namedrop} here for dinner last night. First thing he did on arrival was produce The Times from his bag, open it at the Cringe article and say "Is this you?" Yay!
heh, Tubular Bells.
you don't hear that one often.
for context, i'm sure it's in response to this bit:
"Claire Bateson (18) March, 1994
I am writing this on acid, the tail-end of a trip. I need this time alone with pen and paper to express myself. I feel really happy to be me – more gorgeous and beautiful than ever before, me in all senses. Feminine – oh so feminine – and the prettiest, most beautiful girl that ever lived. I am so pretty tonight, in the red light and the flickering of the candle. I am a goddess, and only James has truly seen and appreciated this. It was good flirting with the candle, playing Tubular Bells and being the only woman in the room, so desirable yet so out of reach to the others.I feel warm and clean and sweet-smelling and radiant, I feel silken, beautiful, exquisite. We’re all in my room. I have them all in my shrine, but they may not have me. Mike’s taken 2 trips, I only one, but I feel above him. I feel it’s my day, my trip. I feel it’s my birthday. I ’m so beautiful it doesn’t matter if nobody notices but me. "
