Nik Nak.

but it's all gone horribly wrong...

Day Fifteen:
I should have thought before I selected that damn butler midget menace.

There I was, and I mean, you can see the logic, here is someone who knows their way round a freakin' island right?

Visions of cool Martinis served - champaigne even - a secret lair uncovered with the flick of a button...
Dinner at 8? Yes Nik Nak that'll be fine...

Not to mention Fantasy Gilligan's Island whatever...

Three days into the stranded and he comes at me with an egg whisk - jesus I nearly lost an ear...

"Long Pork!"
Gaaah! His eerie cry ringing in my (other) ear even as my legs did that flee-ing thing...
I offered him love...

No dice.

I have to admire the clarity of his logic - he will dine for a lot longer on me than I would on him.
God damn it - and he still looks smart - got that l'il bow and arrow and all working for him.

Where -

is -

he..?

No, mustn't panic... so tired, so thirsty - need a drink... anything...

Oh - thank god - sweeeeet! A coconut - yummie... mmm - I'll just give it a tap and -
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
No Nik -Nak!
Damn you, you master of ambush you!!!
Aaaagh ha ha ha you look so damn cute in that thing like a little hula skirt - only coconut.
What? No, no - I didn't feel - what blow dart?

...ugh.

Marianne Faithfull describes herself as a 'Ghost' when discussing her lost 1971 masterpiece Rich Kid Blues.
It is certainly an accurate description of the album - which was recorded during a temporary break from her Heroin rehab, under circumstances bordering on kidnap and resulting in the loss of two teeth.

A haunted collection indeed, there is much of that early dawn come-down common to albums of the time,
from Bob Dylan's New Morning to John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and George Harrison's All things must Pass.
There are in fact covers of Dylan (an awesome poetry reading of Visions of Johanna) and Harrison (an empathic take on Beware of Darkness).
