, but the Pinkertons sent someone

Belvedere Jehosophat - Friday, 30 July 2010 - 23:50:03

Daughters of bosses were victimized, it’s true, I don’t deny this, and sons were threatened, but what could the Mollies do after the Pinkertons – those fucking Pinkertons! – were through with them?

Those fucking Pinkertons! After the trial, the joke went, “What’s the difference between the Pinkerton National Detective Agency and a porcupine? Not a one, they’re both full of pricks!”

Suspicious records indicate there's a better life

Pause on Main Street in the Downtown area and witness the haunch of an elderly gent waiting for the bus that is yet to arrive. This is human, aged, on the sidelines waiting for death to take the contents of his wallet with a wry smile. Slouching is what the hopeless does. And boy howdy, that's some slouching thar, pardnur.

Shopping trolleys dance the intestinal conga line

Ethan Switch - Sunday, 27 June 2010 - 12:59:31

All ready for carting around supermarket goods and gnawing away at toddlers, the humble shopping trolley faces many round trips. Most of these will be with gummy wheels, swivving back and forth as the rest carry on about the business. What you rarely see is the one that ends up lost of its own volition, rolling away not of the carpark, but of the rank and file.

Again they sit across from one another, pens and papers shuffling in the silent chasm. Flicking about in that state of mind where you're looking to keep an edge on composure, only to end up balancing a pen aimlessly in the web of your fingers.

“Cyclothymia,” tutted the doctor.

“Cyclothymia,” tutted the doctor. It took a while to diagnose as she had a tendency to shoot speed during the dysthymic phase and dope during the euphoric. This left her balanced most of the time.

Floor manager of the local grocery was the highest commission he could manage.

please don't sue, CWA

Belvedere Jehosophat - Monday, 11 January 2010 - 17:00:23

Anywhere she went she gave the same impression of herself, that of a slice of watermelon: juicy and crisp in the first few bites but watery and bland the more time one spends with it.

Shadows never leave, until the darkness fades to bright

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 30 December 2009 - 06:05:02

Anesti Está Morto craves upon casual anathema. Supping in its glow as it heads into the evening, the cooling air of a humid December brings an extra coat of delight. It is, as a they, an entity recycling the waste of regions underfoot. Ceraising for the steps you do not take.

It, love,

Belvedere Jehosophat - Saturday, 5 December 2009 - 20:23:10

It, love, made itself readily apparent near the small town of Mullengandra, roughly 40 kilometers from Albury following the Hume highway north.

Red Riding Trilogy
This is an attempt to understand the newish British television series Red Riding. Due to the regional accents, the muttering, the byzantine plot, and that British inability to provide subtitles, I am writing a detailed synopsis to get my head around this excellent television show. In short, it is nothing but spoilers, spoilers, spoilers...
Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoût
Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives
Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.

Undone, unbound, the sounds aground, life's taking the train with a soundtrack of harmonic dissonance, of inner turmoils and evolutionary spotchecking.
