horsemouth as selector howard as operator

it’s yours (but we’re going to share it) 

the title comes from a student discussing the perils of flat-sharing with particular reference to the contents of the fridge.

‘getting his way by not attracting attention’ this was max ophul’s strategy during his hollywood career. (and a large part of horsemouth’s plan).

‘the tyrant’s devilish plan, necessity’ (milton) necessity (the mother of all abominations) is of course the mother of austerity also - the ugliest of her myriad daughters but also (seemingly) the most eligible. everywhere you go her stingy wedding feast is being celebrated by the depressed hordes, some drink to forget, some to kill the pain, some drink because they have forgotten why and suspect that the reason may not be good.

‘it is as though it could be miraculously arranged that a fish could carry with it its crystalline stream into the thin air while it cohabited with a bird.’ (john cowper powys) animals form a big part of myths (and the stories we tell children also) - the stories that explain why the pie is divided the way it is.

horsemouth is just out the door for the week - certainly he’s broken its back - he has the plan for next week and the week after. monday is halloween (samhain) but he suspects the masses will be out celebrating all weekend long. he is delighted to make the third combined howard/ horsemouth mix available to you - please give it a listen (horsemouth will be ransacking his home for a pair of headphones to give it a test run saturday.

the photo comes from the m.r. james short story that horsemouth was recommending.
