Hello, machine. You have been missed.

I'm fresh back from another week in the seaside town that they forgot to close down. In brief: it was ace. I made several excellent purchases, consumed many fine meals, met lovely new people, spent quality time with chums, and generally got to feel like myself for a week without putting up with peoples' bullshit.

Details to follow when I can be arsed dealing with the photos. Ten of your Earth gigabytes. Christ. Wedding photos to finish before that happens. Then burlesque adventure photos. Also I think I have three days of filming coming up in which I will be operating a proper, five-figure-sum video camera. Should really confirm the details of that one.

Toot toot, Interboot.

"Oh, I've seen your website. I've seen these photos, they're lovely."

After he signed my book and handed it back I was all like "cheers, bud".

I sparkle with iridescent wit.

Images from popular love songs re-interpreted in the homicidal spirit of Mr. Nick Cave. May contain imagery unsuitable for younger viewers.

The exhibition will run throughout the month of October, but don't miss the launch party for some complimentary beverages, a display of some reinvented technological marvels(+++postponed until later in the exhibition+++), and perhaps a performance or two. Admission free.

Where: Biblocafe, 262 Woodlands Road (map).

When: Friday 2nd October, 5:30–7:30pm. The rest of October, if you can't make the launch.

Funny how I only remember this place when I have something to spam, isn't it? I promise I'll treat you better in future, dear readers. Anyway, would be lovely to see some of you there. Those who live several hundred miles away may consider this a reminder of how awesome I am.

I say buzz ,buzz, buzz, and it's just because.
I'm a human fly and I don't know why.
I got ninety six tears in ninety six eyes.

Still can't believe Lux Interior's dead. Fucksake.

They still call it the White House
But that's a temporary condition, too.
Can you dig it, CC?

And when they come to march on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of fine arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream
It's my piece of the rock and I dig you, CC
God bless Chocolate City and its vanilla suburbs

Sometimes it's worth getting up at six in the morning and staying out until your fingers turn blue. About a week and a half ago, Glasgow decided to start making a proper go of Winter. Frost, freezing fog, all that good stuff. Everyone else got snow, of course, but we're in a valley, here.

At any rate, it was amazing how quickly the atmosphere of the city changed from 'glum' to 'mysterious and sort of awe-inspiring'. I want more fog.

Congratulations, America, on finally electing somebody who's not a dick. Took you long enough.

Don't let having a charismatic, intelligent, personable leader go to your heads, now.

In other news, Whitby was awesome. Photos soon.

Popped down south last week for a brief London adventure. My primary mission was to ensure that Jennie arrived safely at her conference. Secondary to this, adventuring.
