dxxix.
'I feel
absolutely wiped.'
Impact on

young voters
immeasurable. Memo
advocated stressful

positions. 'They
can spend
what they

like on
ingredients.' Found
that, where

proven, abuses
were not.
Rap on

toll found
intact. One
fatal slip.

dxxviii.
Rhinos run
riot. 'This
scaffolding is

alarmed.' As
bad as.
'Still scared

of the
sea.' Claiming
a conspiracy

against him.
'Still bitten
by unpleasant

realities.' 'Corporate
killing' a
new offense.

Text first.
'It does
not want

my mind?'

dxxvii.
Indolent or
ignorant accounts
fact. An

avid - indeed
slavish - inter-
pretation. Not

faith. Accumulated
tradition. Propel
that circle

outward. Mind-
numbingly in-
accurate. 'This

wicked, wicked
book.' Not
to look

too clearly
through the
murk. 'Nothing

wrong with
that.' Not
much.

dxxvi.
'Where exactly
do you
stand on

Europe?' 'Some-
where near
that shift

key.' Self-
seeking witness.
An open

verdict motivates
much further
freefall. Some

changes further
up. A
government 'by

sofa' 'tightened
up'. Mock-coolness
under pressure

under pressure.
Not enough.

dxxv.
Fled rage.
Hugged. 'Happy'
not to

be. Plagiarism
'cannot be
observed'. Drive

renewed. Charge
for cult
head. Wave

opens the
way. 'Quit,
quit.'

Thursday, March 17, 2005

dxxiv.
Surge cuts
points. Boosts
evidence. Lone

horse on
horizon. Lone
terrier on

stand-by. 'The
tree that
came of

age.' 'My
abilities are
not used.'

Unhappy with
yr manager?
'It has

sapped the
last of
my will.'

Money only
part. 'Hole
in the

zero of
nothing.'

dxxiii.
'It distinguishes
quotation from
reported speech.'

New ways
to raise
revenue. 'That

just got
nasty.' Red
tape defends

cannibalism. Scene
set. Assembly
to dispute.

Arrival to
dissemble. Thorn
torn from

side. Power-
sharing deal
bust. Unorthodox

peace-maker. 'You
either love
him or

you love
him.'

dxxii.
Much beyond
the fact.
As far

as photons
are concerned
'the medium

is the
message'. The
'merest trash'

sings. Expected
to be
highly critical.

'Complex and
emotional.' Searching
pair experiment

in truth.
The overflow.
The stopper.

Mulch behind
the fans.

dxxi.
'Welcome to
the occupational
hazard.' Terror

concedes. Most
likely to
return. Most

generous offer
refused. Stay
on as

leader despite
stoning. 'I
am hurt

by this.'
Words attack
with beginnings.

Cell transplant
technique. All
shot dead.

dxx.
Couple needs
flat. 'Do
not spoil

your enjoyment.'
Happy to
run around

again in
metal suit.
'We are

seeing the
spread.' 'It
is simply

fun.' 'You
are only
one product

away from
your best-ever
self.' One

final move.

dxix.
'Do you
want this,
huh?' Enacting

what you
know, what
everybody knows.

'It has
not been
too demanding

thus far.'
Ten little
rebels. 'King

wails in
hell.'

Sunday, March 06, 2005

dxviii.
Shoulder to
shoulder we
grind. The

third way
war. TV
corrupts corrupter

well. Hell
on its
trampoline. Agent

'just not
cricket' says
finding. 'Brutal'

mixed message.
Hot to
trotter. Painted

lines parallel,
aghast at
comfort. 'Once

a month
is so
last month.'

Saturday, March 05, 2005

dxvii.
Joy and
dismay. Park
and ride.

Get up.
Cite environment.
'A real

alternative.' Key
quotes. 'Chain
is to

be broken
up.' 'Do
YOU know

someone who
has had
their identity

stolen?' Star
attraction dead.

Friday, March 04, 2005

dxvi.
His ruthless
charm. Statement
on statement

but no
accumulation. No
time limits

no expansion
(mental boundaries
intact). 'Who

broke protocol?'
It is
confirmed. 'He

has denied
games were
responsible.' Restless

Leg Syndrome.
