The trouser Press: May 2012
http://thetrouserpress.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Thursday, 3 May 2012. Today is one of those rare days in which I do something which makes me feel like a proper grown-up. I went to the local polling booth and voted in the local elections. I'm well aware of the difference between local elections and the general election, yet it's hard not to want to vote according to my view of the political situation nationally. So I looked at the ballot paper. Don't make me laugh. So, for the first time in my life, I spoiled the ballot paper&...

The trouser Press: October 2011
http://thetrouserpress.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Saturday, 8 October 2011. I've been a busy bee today, but here was a strange interlude a little earlier on. I was out on the high street, drawing my life savings out of the nearest ATM so that I could afford a coffee before hyperinflation really kicks in (including emergency savings so that I could afford a shot of vanilla with it), when suddenly I heard what sounded like an expression of absolute glee. Hang on, I thought? Why would an old lady be whooping for joy like that?

Today I want to hold a black cat. View my complete profile. Thursday, 10 November 2011. Today I want to hold a black cat. Anyway, all day i've had this feeling that i want to hold a black cat. i had a dream last night. nothing different to any given night over the last few weeks, in that respect - most nights have been punctuated by extremely vivid dreams - sometimes genuinely entertaining/intriguing, other times unsettling/disquieting, often a mixture of all three. or four.

The trouser Press: August 2011
http://thetrouserpress.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The day I went to the death camps. Another perfect pop song. View my complete profile. Saturday, 13 August 2011. The day I went to the death camps. On the other hand there has been, in my mind, a need to find some kind of insight, or attempt to come to terms with on some level, the sheer impact on human lives at an individual and collective level that those wars brought. It's too neat to suggest that this inward flow of words and images served as preparation for my visit earlier this week to Auschwitz: t...

The trouser Press: February 2012
http://thetrouserpress.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Sunday, 19 February 2012. I was in very pleasant company today, and circumstances were solicitous to me telling this story. I'm glad to have revisited it actually: I love the expression on people's faces when I tell them about someone asking me "what's your favourite piss? Saturday, 18 February 2012. I cannot believe what the government of this country are doing, and for which they have no mandate. If, as is often said, you can judge a society on how they treat the most vuln...

View my complete profile. Tuesday, 27 December 2011. As I left the pub after a rather lovely Boxing Day Carvery, here's what I misread on the exit door:. It took a moment to realise that it actually said, "Thanks for calling! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The trouser Press: May 2013

The Drowning Of Arthur Braxton. View my complete profile. Wednesday, 1 May 2013. The Drowning Of Arthur Braxton. Yes, yes, it's been a while, I know. Well, amongst other things, I've been doing lots of reading. Latterly, this has been The Drowning Of Arthur Braxton. Because she's been one of my bloggy friends since before I first set up this place. Here goes, anyway. I don't think. Its dynamism, not to mention its poignancy. Needless to say, if you got this far, I would recommend it.

View my complete profile. Saturday, 7 April 2012. I had to make a sudden and unexpected journey yesterday. As I did so I saw a sign next to a building plot, which I read as. Conjures up some strange images, certainly. The actual wording was, as you might expect, much less interesting - "open storage land". I've also started reading the book by Caroline Smailes that I mentioned in the previous post. I had a certain amount of trepidation as I began reading 99 Reasons Why. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Disparate thoughts in different colours. View my complete profile. Sunday, 22 May 2011. This here blog turned 4, a few days ago. Happy Birthday blog. I'm really limping along with it at the moment, though, and perhaps need to decide what to do. Saturday, 14 May 2011. This last week could be divided into two distinct halves. We could start by calling them the "nice" half and the "any number of descriptive words which are the binary opposite of nice" half. Particular track needs this. To be done to it.
