This, to begin, is the El Rey theatre. It has been the El Rey theatre since it was built in 1936, designed by Clifford Balch. Clifford Balch was active in California in the 1930s, but then so were a lot of people. That doesn’t make it, or him, special. ‘El Rey’, in Spanish, means ‘The King’. In 1821, when Mexico was declared independent from Spain, the members of various European royal houses were solicited. Would they like to become the first King of Mexico? Even as New Spain, horribly distant. As M...

Today May is wearing her exile lightly. It feels like a game—the giddy consumerism, the flirtatious testing of mattresses, even the dinner. Restaurant (surprisingly good salmon, and meatballs for Jake). Most days, she feels like chipboard: shredded but squashed back into shape, held together by two plastic veneers. The ammonia of her hair bleach makes her cry, she chokes and has to hang up the phone when she gives half her old address by mistake to a utility company. 8216;A round bed? They’re a lit...

Just a bit different. Basic principle of medical science: no sharing allowed. You want something, someone’s got to give you it, for keeps. A pint of blood? Don’t call me a dealer. Dealers don’t hire neurosurgeons, for a start. You could say I’m a matchmaker for the meeting of minds. An overseer of the brains trust. The first one to call me? The hardest to turn down? The artisans, the creative types. If I could sell on the talent of an arthritic concert pianist, I’d have the music schools out of...28 Prop...

I fill the kettle with water. I know it should be cold, but I don’t care. Soon it will be boiling, and that’s all I want. I eye the glass container, with its hard and oily insides, and think that the colour of dark roasted coffee beans is almost perfect. I like hearing the metal scoop ring out against the glass. One Two. Three scoops into the grinder. Then one more. Where is the evaporated milk? Where is the demerara sugar? World Factbook says those are my choices.) Do they wonder who eats the sugar?

8216;Hey,’ says K. I have to squint against the drizzle, looking up. I pause my picking through the bones, looking for the meat, but keep on crouching. ‘Hey,’ I say, ‘what’s up? I picked up. We banter because we’re supposed to banter, and the targets of our bantering are innocent third parties that can’t answer back. 8216;Still got books all over the floor? 8217; says K. There’s a dance we do when we don’t know what else to do. K leans across the vastness of the table to slide the top POP. Back towards h...

Working For The Clampdown: 05/11/2003 - 05/18/2003
http://flyboy.blogspot.com/2003_05_11_archive.html
Working For The Clampdown. Let's get into some real bad things. Friday, May 16, 2003. I'm starting to feel the effects of what I knew would be a result of not drinking - too little sleep. Going to sleep before 2am is unnatural and an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, but getting 5 hours sleep a night has inflicted cumulative damage upon my person. Posted by Joe at 2:14 PM. Links to this post. Thursday, May 15, 2003. Likes to say, it's not an argument, it's an emotional sound effect. I do. Obviously, n...

Eye Rainbow Dinosaur: Losing the fight against mediocrity for the last few years.
http://eyerainbowdinosaur.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 06, 2003. Thursday, March 06, 2003. The last episode of Rob Brydon and Hugo Blick's Marion and Geoff. Was just on telly tonight. I'm guessing that a lot of people missed the first series, what with BBC2's innovative scheduling techniques and the whole The Office. Thing (another casualty of which, although not to anything like the same extent as M&G. Was the excellent Phoenix Nights. This is comedy that's - thankfully - a million miles away from The Office. Anyone else watch this? E Randy ...
