"How Do You Look So Young?"
She asked, behind the counter.
"Don't carry change," I said. "Alcohol instead of vitamins. Hate everyone but the world."
"Yes," she said, looking at the security camera.

Most People Were Lucky Growing Up, Reading Under The Covers With A Flashlight.
I had to read with an illuminated watch and a lighter.
Stories in three-second intervals and burned sheets.

Not Accepted At This Time, For Bizarrely Unexplainable Reasons That Defy Loads Of Sense And Rationality.
Muse
North American Tour
And finally, of course, is Muse. A career based on the idea that Radiohead's The Bends is best when shot through a glam cannon of opera falsettos, speed-prog riffs, masturbation aids, and knock-off fireworks, exploding in flailing, manic arena-rock like a kid scribbling in a coloring-book by a stopwatch. They're so embarrassingly over-the-top, they're fucking great -- at least on Origin Of Symmetry -- and I can't wait to see them for the first time, which'll be stupid mental.

The finishing touch was the bracelets: two small, individual-portion baked-bean cans, cut out at both ends and then slipped over my wrists."

He'd first noticed Castle because of a prankster performance art stunt he'd pull during the fine-arts faculty shows. "I'd be this character Gorge who wore an enema bag badolero," says Castle. "My sidekick, Poot Man, dressed in black wrestling shorts and a black full-face mask like those Mexican wrestlers. He walked around like a monkey, knuckles trailing on the ground. The art was always bad, derivative stuff -- endless mindless landscapes and still lifes. I'd point at a picture and go, 'Poot Man!' and he'd rub his ass on the artwork, or hold his nose like it stunk. Every time Poot Man took a pretend shit on the art, I'd reward him with milk, which he'd suck through the enema tube."
