Week 8 theme: Underneath
03.13.2013
This is a car wash. At one point in my life I liked to imagine that the brushes and scrubbers from an automated car wash were actually the tentacles of an undersea creature slowly pulling my vehicle into jaws firmly attached to its face. Ridiculous? Possibly. I like to pretend a lot of things during a lot of times throughout my day. For example right now I am pretending that I am a prolific writer of immense talent writing the conclusion to my latest epic 150,985,734,017 page novella. A novella over a billion pages long? Yes. I call my work a novella because my work always lacks subplots. There is only one plot and I stick to it. I develop my characters as I see fit but I never stray from the point. My work may be long but I intentionally leave out many of the characteristics required for ones work to truly be considered a novel. I write with purpose and in great detail, and whilst all this writing is being performed there is reality slowly trudging along in the background. I abhor reality. I find it to be trite and disgusting. It lacks enthusiasm and for that reason alone I prefer to dwell in a world of unbridled imagination; right now my dog is doing my taxes.

The scrap heap.
A second tilt-and-shifty look at Bath. With proper incamera focusing tricks this time, too.
No famous Abbey however - but Sainsbury's is down there somewhere, and just as popular.
