small things
earlier in the week i discovered that the little spider, the lodger in the window recess of my toilet these past few months, has died. or its been eaten by a bigger spider. or has simply buggered off. i can't tell if thats it's own carcass on the sill, or the discarded bio-wrap from it's past meals.
i'm saddened that its gone. there was a genuine pleasure checking in on it each day and though easy to dismiss, such small pleasures constellate into the greater pleasure-fields that mark time.
its partly due to the spider's departure that i experienced that madagascan cockroach moment on thursday. coz it has crossed my mind to perhaps re-house an insect or much larger spider in a habitat in the toilet.
or maybe an A-quarium screen, above where the toilet paper hangs, at my immediate eye-line when i'm sat shitting. there are few places in life where you spend accumulated time sat facing a really up close wall. prison is about the only other similar experience.
my toilet walls are papered with mostly grant morrison speech bubbles. so while that patch, in front of me for years, could at least benefit from an updated text, it is the perfect plot for a few thousand neural networked mini-flatmates to plug-in, set up camp and evolve.

BUTTONS AND ROACHES
yesterday i experienced my very own "desert darlings" moment (channel 4, tuesday 9pm) when i held a madagascan "hissing" cockroach in my hand.
in the petshop in camden, north london, where i was stocking up on cat and hamster supplies, there was a woman who mentioned her friend's phobia of buttons.
i said that i had 3 friends with button phobias.
i was at that point stood near a small tank filled with the madagascan roaches. i said that though i can pick up spiders and i welcome them in my home (though sadly they're often taunted by peggy the cat), i wouldn't pick up a roach and they do make me shudder a bit.
another woman, who worked in the shop, got the roach habitat off the shelf and opened it up. there were hundreds of them, varying in age and size. they didn't fly and she said their only defensive manoevre was too create a hissing sound.
she picked one up and showed me its little face. she drew attention to the fact that its face was actually kind of attractive.
and then she placed it in my hand and it just stood there. they were more docile and flatter than our regular roaches. it was heavier than a spider.
i stroked it's back, which was ridged and very solid. when she picked it up again she pointed out that i would feel its velcro like holding-on power.
they live for about 5 years and she feeds them on soft fruits. the males have a stumpy horn like ridge on their brows.

DIFFERENCE
"the time has come for those who are different to stand united." so says the movie poster for today's opening of xmen2.
in the virgin megastore, in camden north london, police and an ambulance crew are removing a topless young man from the shop. he is behaving in the manner of someone who is, or is about to be, classified as having mental health problems.
meanwhile in town, swarms of yellow jacketted police corral a group of mayday protestors. many of the protestors probably identify themselves as different. in reality their off-the-peg anarchist identities are formulaic and ordinairy. sadly it is also, all too often, nothing more than a heavily scripted youthful phase in there lives. full-time mainstream role-playing beckons.
a bit of violence and destruction can be a laugh, and its equally satisfying to cost big businesses a few million in losses for a day, but don't kid ourselves that these commodified gladitorial games are any kind of revolution or progress.
there are always those delusioned anarchists/protestors who might aswell be jehovahs witnesses or party politicians, and are about as tiresome as the mediocre capitalist process they believe themselves to be opposing.
while there are countless situations when it is nescessary to physically fight with the police, i mostly distrust the motives of protesters who ritually battle the police during any token demonstration. i can't help seeing their predictable reactions towards "authority" figures as blatantly unresolved conflict with their mostly middle-class parents. tantrums dressed up as sincere ideology.
and i distrust the ironic class war that exists unacknowledged between the predominantly middle-class, college educated protestors, filled to the gills with outdated romantic/tribal ideals, versus the predominantly tabloid-reading, intellectually-challenged police with their similarly anachronistic belief in morality and order.
ultimately the "anarchists" are as vital a cog in contemporary hyper-capitalism as the police are, who at the end of the day are also just working people. 21st century radicalism demands that any boundaries colluding in the concept of "they" and "we", us and them, are made deliberately blurred. it is nescessary to subvert this grand distraction that there is any real difference between our "enemies" and our "selves". through complexity true revolution can begin.
