now i know i'm miserable now..........

no bonfires..no fireworks.........Siouxsie called from france to say she attended a huge bonfire party...lots of kids dressed as witches......(coughs) witches!!!!!....... into the flames called mirror.........
the ugly old dyke upstairs...real old school - white cropped hair and button down shirt, stood in our communal garden and threw a stone a white cat sleeping on next doors shed....what a nasty twat... she has two yorkie terriers, one with only three legs...the missing leg she bit off in a dyke rage no doubt........

then i've been asked to attend a panel on ' the queer roots of glam rock' - this came thru a pr company that pr-ed my book BERLIN BROMLEY .... this pr would tell me in meetings pre book release, that ''of course you're not a household name''......my reply was '' keep talking like that and i wont be''...of course i ddnt mean it.... i meant ...''go catch cancer''..........ugh........... its true the publishing industry is pure evil shit...
a german publisher has offered me a trans deal...3% per book which means when all saidand done taht i'd make about 25p or 50cents a book..........kathy acker once told me- dont write for money......

and gaydar...... is full of the living dead - it proves that most queers are their stereotypes... unable to commit, even to replying to a message... and if i seee another booth size pic of a dripping glans i'll turn straight... gay people are just reduced to holes and pricks....
still, i've started a correspondence with dear old edmund white.... he's up there on gdar and i guess if he could help me get a deal in the US, I might finger fuck the old boy!!!!!!!

walked in victoria park at dusk today - the sun was making everything sepia......my left eye kept runnig so i looked like i might be crying........i thought about when i used to go to paris in the early 80's and would go to the nightclub, called club sept......where one night with my friend, pascal - the world most beautiful man - like a lanky alain delon in the 60s.....
an old man - roland petit, a famous french dancer from the 40.50s in france ... made a spurious attempt to pick me up... i never liked older men.... thru our interpretuer pascal he said he prefered pascal...who reminded him of alain delon, a rent boy who worked the left bank in the mid 1950s....... delon a rent boy........no suprize.....

Ihate getting older........all you do is think about the past...........

28.........oct

went to the roundhouse in chalk farm on thursday to see damon alban's new band ''the good bad and the queen'' with paul simmion of the clash on guitar.....or bass.....
i had'nt been to the roundhouse since 1978......where i wintessed ''la grande eugene'' a tremendous 2hr international drag soiree.....watching damon and paul - i was longing for a bunch of drag queens to come up and schuze up the night...... they had a huge back drop onstage - that i presume mr simmion had painted, his side projet is painting, landscapes in the school of princecharles.... gasworks and alleyways painted by numbers...?
their sound was sort of clash blur new free jazz reggeae rap cheekychapy damon doning a top hat, a truc that, neil tennant of the PSBoys did a year ago and marc bolan 30 yrs before that!!!!
this was 'boystown' night out ......being an addled glamour addict....nothing hit the spot...... damon got pissed off and threw a strop and then launched into his johnny rotten routine....mr simmion did his swing axe clash moves.... oh yes half way thru a giant haystack Lebanese rapper come on a spewed the koran?....

Having never been a clash or blur fan i wasnt won over - poor me! perhaps its better on cd?
