Went to the Turkish barber in front of the house today, who decided to take my directions in the vaguest sense possible and improvised like a madman on the hair and beard. And it looks good! One third poncy model, one third musketeer, and one fourth Turkish homeboy, with trace elements. If I was gay I'd hit on me.

Then I won the best game of poker evah, coming back from a 20-1 deficit to the most incredible combination of cards and bluff that led poor Duncan to join the Cistercians. Also, I lost my soul to the Devil, but I got 30 quid, it was worth it.

And then, on the bus home, a bluesman was singing and playing a guitar with a broken string and a toothless smile up to his ears, and the rest of the bus was singing and dancing as well as they could amidst the jerks and swerves of the speeding vehicle, and everyone was happy.

Sometimes, London is good.

[3-nic.livejournal.com]

Yes, long time no see! Are you a poker player? Fancy a drink an evening this week?

[jennizane.livejournal.com]

So, you brag about your new haircut and yet give us no evidence?! Gay? Now you're just teasing me!

And 30 quid? London has made you a cheap harpie!

I'm jealous.

Haircuts and poker!

The hair and beard cut sound interesting- can't wait to see! Have you been playing poker with Orlandox? It sounds like his style to play for souls - mine too actually , but i haven't had a game in a while. Glad that Spring is seeing you full of joy! A bientot.....Ramonaramone xx ps congratulations on the £30 win!

i'm only on ~Day 9 of not smoking, i usually get to 3 weeks and then start again. so it might not last - i hope so though. won't be coming out to play until May - when the detox is over, so no poker for me. Are you still not smoking? xx

Re: Haircuts and poker!

[3-nic.livejournal.com]

me? I don't smoke weed, tea, banana peels, chlorethyl butane, or fertiliser, I'm good enough for a little tobacco 0:-) Actually, I'm not, I really have to cut down, I cough like a tuberculosic wretch when I wake up...

I have to recharge my camera batteries, and wait for daylight :-)
I'll play for more than a few quid when I'm a *good* player (as opposed to having a drunken anabashable confidence and neat cards for ten rounds)

How is life in LA?

[jennizane.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm holding you to that! I'd like to see your face again. :)

LA is....bright. And I'm about to leave it again to go back to San Francisco. I'm headed back mid May!

Sounds like London is smashing, as always.

In due time, snow faery, in due time. When I have juice in the camera after the other fairy drank it all in an orgy of semi-naked electrons.

[littleorangecat.livejournal.com]

I`ve never really thought of myself as particularly faery like I have to say. I`ve always been more of a little witch, but I quite like it.

See you in the summer>

Well played mon frere... ready to play with the big boys?

[gigib.livejournal.com]

What a surprise to see you posting here. Have you got a new number? Tried to text you on your birthday but it didn't go through. Hope you had a good one (very belatedly).

[3-nic.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's sweet! yes, I have a new number, I sent it to you by mail. Can you resend me yours? It got lost with the old phone... xx

[mzsk.livejournal.com]

[3-nic.livejournal.com]

I tried to send you a mail (yes! :) ), but it bounced after two days!? Can you send me one at nic@lores.org, canyoucanyoucanyou? x
