Aural textures
Posted in Aversion, Cinema, Thinking, tagged aura on 9 August 2009 | 7 Comments »

Is it possible to come into contact with someone whose aura feels slimey? Where coming into contact with them makes you feel the need to scrub it [...]

Not playing the ‘Who’s the bigger victim?’ game

A search for a cookbook (I was looking for Nigel Slater’s Real Fast Puddings!) turned up something else completely. I picked up a book I bought years ago when I was in the midst of being drained.
