the collected thoughts of H.M horsemouth esq.

‘the only thing that matters in life is collecting one’s thoughts’ - italo svevo

svevo ived in charlton for a while (but mostly he lived in trieste). his 'new' book makes up an alternative biography, an alternative life. 

nadine dorries will step down as an MP (that at least is some good news). she is disappointed in the conservative party. as she said it she made an effort to cover her mouth because her mouth had reached the decision ahead of her brain. to be fair its not her saying that, she's just channeling the omniscient gods-eye view of the mills and boon novel she thought she was in. she's surprised at what her mouth is saying, but there, it's said it now. 

bye-bye (at the next election).

horsemouth has visited the allotment.

he has traipsed down to the sally army (the history of england - lord macauley.50p) and across to the top of the market (the will to knowledge, michel foucault,1.50). there was nothing of interest in the one book box he encountered. he spent the afternoon dozing and reading the foucault (before going for a wander over to the allotment).

maybe he should have started with the mekas (like he promised)

horsemouth is making good progress with the foucault. (funnily enough he has it in french somewhere and once made a good fist of translating the first few pages - mildred (whose parents were anglophiles and had named their children mildred and alfred) was most impressed).

he finds it strangely similar to the ranciere

'for a long time , the story goes, we supported a victorian regime, and we continue to be dominated by it even today...'

instead of a myth of sexual repression and silencing we have a proliferation of discourses aimed at controlling peoples' sexualities, but sexuality is not repressed so much as engendered and rendered more into discourse. conversely (it seems to the mule) the myriad aesthetic discourses (in ranciere's the aesthetic regime)  aim at a silencing of art's true potential (but in fact engender it's potential). 

the upcoming week is shaping up as follows - sunday afternoon catastro/FILLE and some guitar stuff, monday eve (his brother), tuesday (late aft.) the mikes (T and H). he's not clear what he is doing over this weekend (or next). he will check his email in a bit.
