Nightfall

I had a faulty shower tube recently. I’m talking about the thing that connects the shower head to the tap. Anyway, for some bizzare reason it had twisted on itself – even though the metal exterior seemed perfectly fine – and it stopped the water from coming out. It got increasingly bad so in the end I had to twist and turn the damn thing every few seconds to manage to have a shower. To someone watching I guess I would look like an insane naked dude fighting with an imaginary robot snake.

I take this opportunity to welcome all new readers to Nightfall, the old hotel in the middle of nowhere where the noises you hear coming from the corridors are anything but funny.

You hit the nail

But the nail only goes in half a centimetre with each pounding.

So you have to keep pounding and pounding until your arms go limp and your chest hurts.

And as soon as the nail goes in it starts coming out again because there is a river of hatred flowing underneath the hole, flowing like the Styx, taking anyone who falls into it straight to Hell, and the river wants to come out and take the whole world to hell as well, and it will take you last, like the froth that stays in the bathtub after all the water goes down the drain, dragging you slowly so that you can witness all the remains of the apocalypse on your way down.

And you keep pounding the nail, pounding and pounding,because that river mustn’t come out, because that river mustn’t take you with it. Down to Hell.

Two people are talking. One is lying on a bed, the other is standing over him. The faint outlines of machinery and displays are visible in the distance

–I’m not feeling very well these days Doctor.
–You are not supposed to
–That’s not what a doctor is supposed to say
–I’m not a Doctor.And this is not a Hospital.

The television screen shows static and then a black and white film starts. It is an an old Navy information video.

The Passenger like all underwater vessels is compartmentalised. Each section is connected with the others through a heavy metal door that works as an air-tight seal when shut. This design prevents the vessel from filling up with water and sinking in the event of a hull breach.

A man is sitting,chained to a chair. A group of three men, all wearing identical suits are sitting next to him. The man in the chair is typing something in a typewriter, typing frantically.

Don’t you see? Don’t you see? It’s the gaps! The gaps!That’s where they live.That’s where they come out and that’s where they go back in. Closethem.ClosethempleasefortheloveofGodClosethem!

We’ve all been there people

So there was a girl sitting with a bunch of people at a cafe and she was quite beautiful. I stared at her and I was sure that I had seen her before. I was quite sure of it too. I just couldn’t remember.

Anyway, after going home I realised that in fact I hadn’t seen her before but that she looked a lot like a Hollywood actress whom I had seen in a few movies.

It happens from time to time – stumbling upon Cypriot women resembling Hollywood actresses. Life’s pretty little surprises.

Fuck it.

I’m going to have a bath instead of a shower tonight, water shortages be damned

Oh Yeah!

As you can see, when your social life reaches a certain level mundane acts are elevated to a much higher status.

Αμα γράφω στα κυπριακά ενεν καλό σημάδι,να το ξέρετε.

Εγύρισα πίσω στα φοιτητικά μου χρόνια εντελώς πόψε.

Μόνος μου στο δωμάτιο να ακούω melodia.gr

Ιδια ώρα με τότε, ίδιος τζιαι ο μουσικός παραγωγός με τότε.

Μόνο που ούλλα τα άλλα εν χάλια.

Τι τζιαι αν ξέρω ότι είμαι βελτιωμένος σαν άθρωπος που τότε;

Ακόμα εν έφτασα να έχω την ζωή που θέλω να έχω, να είμαι τζείνος που θέλω να είμαι.

Είτε θέλει δουλειά ακόμα (μα πόσην, εκουράστηκα τα γέριμα!) είτε το παράθυρο έκλεισε τζιαι ούλλα τα άλλα εν μαλακίες.

Είμαι στο αυτόματο εδώ τζιαι καμιάν εβδομάδα τωρά.

Πείτε το διαστημόπλοιο να διασχίζει τον γαλαξία με το πλήρωμα στην κατάψυξη.

Η αν πιστεύκετε ότι εν πιό της διάλυσης τα πράματα, πείτε το διαστημικό σταθμό με τους ένοικους πεθαμένους τζιαι τα ρομπότ να συνεχίζουν να γυρίζουν μες τους έρημους διαδρόμους τζιαι να τους καθαρίζουν.

There was a group of about fifteen people in the cafe tonight, probably students, and it reminded me a lot of my early student years when it was not uncommon to meet up in such large groups. It was the joy of having your own private party at the corner of the cafe, of being in a world within a world, the thrill of exploring, of discovering people…

I felt intense nostalgia for a second or two.I had to fight it to stop it staying longer.

“And prayed it would rain and rain, submerge the whole western states”

You were crooked too.

In the end.

But it took me longer to judge you

Longer than anyone else.

By all means,take pride in that

and laugh, if you want

What?

November?

But..but…

It’s too soon.

I mean it can’t be.

It can’t!

No.

No, no no.

I haven’t done anything yet.

I haven’t done anything yet.

Tis the Jester’s mask tonight.

Το πρόβλημα εν ότι άμαν είσαι πικραμένος που τη ζωή – τζιαι η ζωή εν οι αθρώποι αν εμεγάλωσες μες την κοινωνία – κάποιες φορές θέλει συνειδητή προσπάθεια για να κάμεις κάτι αλτρουιστικο. Τζιαι φυσικά εν μιλώ για φιλανθρωπίες τζιαι έτσι πράματα αλλά για να θυσιάσεις μιαν, θκυό, τέσσερεις ώρες για να κάμεις καλό σε κάποιον άλλο.

Εκαμα το σήμερα τζιαι νιώθω μιαν ψυχική κούραση που υπό κανονικές συνθήκες δεν θα έπρεπε να υφίσταται καν.

Εκτός που το κόμπλεξ που έχουν αρκετοί Κυπραίοι με την καταγωγή τους, το γνωστόν “Where are you from? – Greece” εν τζιαι το άλλον, το ότι που την μιαν χέζουν τους Ελληνες γιατί εν τεμπέληες τζιαι ανοργάνωτοι – σύρνουν τζιαι το “πουστοκαλαμαρά” άμα λάχει – αλλά που την άλλη αν τους πεις να ανεμίζουν την σημαία της χώρας τους αντί της Ελλάδας εννά σε δέρουν.

Είναι να θαυμάζεις καμια φορά το πόσο fucked up μπορεί να γίνει ένας λαός.

Το Κόκκινο Ποδήλατο όταν εν συννεφκιά με ψιλόβροχο τζιαι εν έσιει ψυσιή (καλά, εκτός που 2-3 πλάσματα) εν που τους πιο όμορφους τόπους της Λευκωσίας. Επήα εκτές με θκυό φίλους μου τζιαι έτσι ηρεμία τζιαι ξεγνοιασιά έσιει πολλύν τζιαιρό να νιώσω μες τούτη τη πόλη.
