Sucker
There’s a noise in the background of ‘Rental Car’ by Beck (on the album ‘Guero’) that sounds really like our doorbell. The sad part about this is that I’ve now been fooled by it twice within a matter of minutes; both times I actually got up to answer the the door.
I blame having my head filled to bursting point with unfamiliar, technical, complex and difficult stuff over the past week. It’s obvious that some of that information is going to have to leak out of my head before normal functioning is resumed.
Greetings from Edinburgh
I had my first morning off since I’ve been in Edinburgh, so I decided to go for a bit of a wander. Two solid days of sitting down, listening and hard thinking had given me itchy feet. I had a bit of a wild goose chase to a cycle shop that Mr. Bsag was thinking of buying a bike from. I suggested that I could go and check out the bike he was interested in, but it was just my luck that the shop was closed today for stock-taking.
Anyway, I covered a reasonable fraction of the city centre and stretched my legs a bit. I think my favourite find this morning was seeing the “Burke and Hare Lapdancing Club”. That establishment wins today’s prize for ‘Most Bizarre and Disturbing Juxtaposition of Images’. I get the impression that Edinburgh’s citizens have a rather dark sense of humour. I like it.
