    your nsfw post was sexually intriguing and retained the sort of lyrical or gospel like allegory that walter benjamin would be proud of, and yet you deleted it. poor show, timothy, i thought you were a bit more rough and ready than that. poor show.

    well. I know nothing about Benjamin except that I like this Penguin Great Ideas cover http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg4hihAYfl1qzywsco1_500.jpg

    anyway: christ, right you are. I edited it and marked it as a draft by mistake. if you’re desperate, here it is. I’ll fix it when I get back, unless I change my mind. I mean, it’s not THAT funny, it just made me snigger a few times. For now I must pack.

    ‘at the entrance, a mailbox: last opportunity to make some sign to the world is leaving.’ [87]

    going anywhere nice?

    that’s a shame. you should borrow a copy of ‘the arcades project’ from any good library. i would say read it, but it’s better to pore over with a cup of tea, or perhaps in slightly-drunken-or-otherwise-altered moments, in order to grasp the odd nugget. i think reading it conventionally might just kill its vitality. scrips of poetry jostle for space with documentary evidence & short, but systematic, musings on history.

      nice? well, london, for work. I like london; I don’t dislike work.

      ah I forgot about the arcades project! I have it, actually; and yeah, I think it’d be a good book to install near a lavatory. Or, more respectfully but with just as much sincerity, to render as a hypertext document. Un-(linearly)-readable, sure. Like the QI Book of General Ignorance.

    oh, that should have been “some sign to the world ONE is leaving”, and it’s actually p88. oops.

    anyway, have fun! not going to bonney’s commons launch on thurs while you’re down here by any chance, are you? if so, perhaps i’ll see you there.
