Mood: Dazed
Listening to: Kiss of Life - Sade


New blog project

Instead of writing about my life in my blog, I think I should write about someone else's. Know what, I'm gonna make it Extreme!, or Plus!, just like the soon to be released Tamagotchi Plus! Surely you've heard of the original version of these little cute yet so demanding of one's attention electronic pets. I never had one but I once had the PC version. I was so bored of it I looked for cheats to make it grow up instantly. Tamagotchi's stupid, period. And yet we're gonna have a Plus! version. What more can it do? Can it poo for real now?

So yeah, back to the topic. So what I'd do is I'd exercise my secret agent, ultra covert, Splinter Cell cum Paris Hilton green-eyed stealth skills to snap photos of people on the bus. Or maybe just sit across sleeping people and take their pictures. Hey, easy target is an easy target does, isn't it. I never understood those "x is as x does" expressions. But it sounds good, so yeah. Anyway, after taking their pictures I'm gonna write a blog about THEM. See? Genius. Extreme! Plus!

Ok, here's the first pic:



Subject is male, of ambiguous origin, due to him covering the lower half of his face with his scarf. He is likely to be Middle Eastern. He is of medium height and build, maybe slightly more on the slim side. Subject has been spotted for more than one occasion now on the 74 bus to Baker Street after my night shift at the hotel. Subject is also observed to choose that particular seat on these occasions, suggesting an obsessive-compulsive disorder or a phobia of unfamiliar seating arrangement on a vehicular mode of transportation. Perhaps subject has also taken into account the approximate weight of the bus at the moment of his boarding and chosen a seat that would modify the metacentre of the vehicle and ensuring a stable centre of gravity of the bus. Or maybe he just wants to get a seat near the stairs.

Subject is seen wearing a non-designer dark suit and scarf and white sneakers. This maybe subject's fashion statement. He is perhaps objecting to the recent spread of metrosexualism or designer houses launching preposterous collections while fashion magazines declare them the new "in", although it can't be ruled out that maybe he just doesn't have any black shoes.

Subject gets off at the Hyde Park Corner bus stop, and upon closer investigation seems to be carrying a generic blue plastic bag. Subject may have bought a rare, almost illegal and likely to be embarrasing item from an obscure shop located at least in Earl's Court, in the early hours of the morning and then endure a 25 minute bus ride back. This theory is made more credible when subject is seen walking away very quickly from the bus, almost running even. Maybe subject has a more practical reason in choosing the white sneakers; they would help him to run if need be, as opposed to wearing heeled leather shoes. The face covering scarf will increase the probability of him being anonymous, rendering him unidentifiable from CCTV footage that MI5 is likely to get hold of to investigate his involvement in the recent outbreak of mystery cases.

Or maybe, it's cold, and raining, and he just doesn't want to get wet.
