the bog of eternal stench
10 April, 2008 by blue soup
I wonder how many people have been taken back to their childhoods with this post title?
Anyway, it’s not really related to anything, other than that the Bog of Eternal Stench was a swamp in Labyrinth, a top ’80s film featuring the wonderfully bizarre David Bowie.
And I am absolutely swamped at work.
Plus, I was running a bit late this morning (although I made it through the door at the office in time for 9am - just!) and I couldn’t find my door keys anywhere! I have no idea where they are and my room is a tip. I must have them at home somewhere because I managed to get into the house last night!
so, anyway, I had to leave without them in the end this morning, but thankfully my housemate is in for a short while this evening so she has promised to get me back into the premises! I just hope they turn up.
Last night was interesting. I have to blog it. I haven’t got time and I can’t be arsed!! It’s all so complicated.
Back later tonight. Maybe.
I had such a crush on the girl who starred in that film when it first came out.
Ive always wanted to do contact juggling that thing he does with those glass balls!
Jennifer Connelly. She ended up in a less family friendly film Requiem for a Dream.
Watched Labyrinth recently myself. Fantastically trippy.
I love that film. But looking back, it all seems a bit paedo-ish.
David Bowie in spandex suit, complete with bulge, steals a baby and lures a 15 year old girl into his lair, where much dancing around and baby throwing occurs….?
Hmmmmm
I knew that title sounded familiar… been swamped a bit meself these past weeks (getting out of it slowly though - hopefully stench-free for the most part
)
I think (Jo) that that that’s probably true of a great many films; especially looking back now in this paranoid “everyone’s a paedo” decade we can view that which we accepted innocently with far more suspicion than it would probably warrant…
Have a good day

I’m going to guess at what happened last night:
-You went out with FM and got trashed?
Nope, I haven’t spoken to FM since our last text exchange when I told him to bugger off. I forget when this was - I blogged it though, the post about halving the problem.
I thought maybe you had a slip
I hope you find your keys, glad to see you are busy busy at work sounds great.
Look forward to a recap of last night.
cheers Mark x
Loved that movie! I can relate to being swamped at work…

Would have been a completely different film if they cast Gary Glitter instead of David Bowie.
