poetry vs. the fuzzy head
March 18, 2007My experimentation in hangover cures is continuing to make advances in nursing me back to health after a night out (or sometimes a night in) and I’ve discovered a new method which now brings my grand total up to two. I’ve spent the day listening to bebop and spoken word poetry so that I now have a cure even if it’s not a Sunday morning, as that’s when the Hollyoaks omnibus is on. In fact I think it might even be better than watching pretty faces and mindless drama, as surely lubing my brain with jazz and then forcing it to life through comprehension and contemplation of words might actually be beneficial for me.
The dude below is named Rives and I rather like him. You can watch more videos and learn a bit about him at shopliftwindchimes.com
Hangovers are worth the fun of the night and the new joys you uncover when looking for ways to defeat them.
yes. i am fuzzy today. damn you for putting up more bloody videos i can’t watch. do you like my email address? i don’t like the new hollyoaks credits. more in relation to your blog, i went to a poetry/spoken word/arty night the other night and it was excellent, good for the soul. i’ll check out this Rives guy if you check out Isabel Allende, Two Words. {well. it wont be as good as when i was first introduced to it, in the form of story telling on stage. mesmerising}
Rives and Allende were both at the TED Conference:
