"So you bought our love or our marriage or whatever you want to call it. So what? Peter and I found each other before. We'll find each other again." "That's not what I'm interested in, Mrs. Parker. My father is looking to... siphon goodness from the world. He wants to hoard what he's bought. Me, I want to grow my stock. Get more power from it." "And how...
Madonna didn't enjoy these charity ceremonies, but she did like the after show parties, and tonight, with Guy away filming in LA and the kids staying with their nanny, she decided to let her hair down and give it a go. The limo dropped her off at the end of the red carpet, and she was met by a battery of flashlights from the assembled paparazzi that were fig...
The first sin Written on Saturday morning, December 1999 Sitting at home right now and listening to Billy Connolly singing The waltzing fool - a beautiful song. Makes me wonder why it is that he doesn't do more actual folk singing, as well as the comedy. I'm also half asleep. I've been up partying all night, and right now it's approaching 7:30 AM. I'll sta...
It was one of the coldest northern winters on record so Becky & I decided to head west to the sun of California for an extended holiday. We loaded the Caddy and had an uneventful trip across the plains. Then we hit the mountains and that storm. It was bucketing down as we wound our way up the twisty tree lined road, we had left the main highway to do the tou...
Erratic steering told its own story: a puncture. Thirty miles from home, late on a chill night after a business dinner as unproductive as it had been boring. When I called the breakdown service they were sympathetic to the plight of a woman alone but said the best they could predict was forty-five minutes. It was a surprise to see a vehicle pulling in behin...
Here is the story that disappeared entirely without a trace from my computer the night before the Boston Marathon last year. It was originally called 'Solo Midnight Running,' and I've had to re-write it from memory. The two pieces of music referred to in the text are: 'Discover' by Nigel Good (original mix), and 'Fuck You Lady' by Macaco Bong (live studio)....
Some bloke -- I can't remember exactly who -- once said: 'Find something to do that you love doing, and you'll never work another day in your life.' I can see what he was getting at. But it's not that simple, is it? For a start off, you still need the dosh. I gather that Picasso once paid his butcher by making a quick sketch on a sheet of the butcher's wrap...
The water cascaded over her lean form, sliding in snakelike patterns down and over her and between the perfect swell of her breasts. It caressed her arms and legs, gently tracing the perfect line of thigh and calf. It slithered down her back and ran between the fine roundness of her ass. Water pulsed and steamed curled, slowly misting over the glass walls of...
I couldn't believe I was here. Me, In a bar! I've never been in one by myself before. Looking around, I squinted a little - it was pretty dark inside. It smelt kinda stale, booze, and lingering smoke. It didn't look like anyone else was here. I walked over to the barman and asked for a gin and tonic with a slice of lemon - an English thing apparently, but I...
A few days later it was time for Kitty's weekly training session. No time to sit around the house watching 'Oprah' and getting fat today, not that Kitty would ever allow herself to get fat. Frank and Kitty each took their own cars to The Division. Frank usually spent the entire day at work and started earlier than Kitty, so it only made sense. Frank's job re...
