卓韻芝新作《推推推推推推推》

新作將在書展推出，定名為《推推推推推推推》
記住不是6個，不是8個，是7個推

最高收視率的電視劇是什麼？平均每集有一位角色哭得呼天搶地，有一位角色跌落樓梯，有一位角色掌摑他人。

大家吃進口中的是什麼？三文魚和海膽的顏色鮮豔得像 Andy Warhol 的作品，燒賣上有一塊鮑魚，甜品是咖啡味豆腐花芝麻糊。

最高銷量的雜誌是什麼？封面是一則最羞恥的故事，配以最醜惡的相片，最惡毒的標題。

不把一切推推推推推推推到最盡，誓不罷休。

已經沒有正常人了。

我將入讀的倫敦大學

我將入讀的倫敦大學 Goldsmiths，知名舊生很多，Damien Hirst, Lucien Freud, Antony Gormley, Steve McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren, John Cale, Placebo 的Brian Molko， Blur, Julien Opie……看來相當吸引。這應該是一間好學校吧。我到 SOHO 買衫，店員猜我來倫敦讀 fashion，我說來這裡修讀 fine art，他問我是 Goldsmiths 還是 Chelsea ，我說 Goldsmiths，他給了我一個相當驚人的折扣:P

其實 Chelsea 是先收我的，不過我後來選 Goldsmiths 了。

無論如何，我的心情感到非常興奮，著地首天，朋友車我到大學走一趟，我們在 campus 中迷路，路上有位男子引領我們，五分鐘之後，我們在一所玻璃屋前再遇上他，他問我是不是學生，原來他是 fine art master 生，我說我是想看看 fine art 學生的studio ，他抬頭指指面前的玻璃屋，說這就是 BA 學生的 studio 所在地。那一刻，我感到一種莫名震撼；未來一年，我就在這玻璃屋渡過。Goldsmiths 就是出名 studio 大哦。

下機首天，當然買本 Time Out ，封面是Blur，Blur 樂隊的成員全都是 Goldsmiths 生，因為當年他們是同學仔，因而組成 Blur 。兩星期前他們才回母校出演一場音樂會送給校生......一切種種，彷彿有著一點啟示或什麼的。

好了，我繼續上路，你要好好生活，我會掛念你。

wish you were here

late lunch. walked by River Thames. Southwark, Millennium Bridge, Blackfriars, OXO, return at Waterloo Bridge... started at Tate. Ended at Tate. wish you were here.

3 hours later, i ran into this poem on the underground on my way back home.

After the lunch (Wendy Cope 1945-)

On Waterloo Bridge, where we said our goodbyes,
The weather conditions bring tears to my eyes.
I wipe them away with a black woolly glove
And try not to notice I’ve fallen in love.

On Waterloo Bridge I am trying to think:
This is nothing. You’re high on the charm and the drink.
But the juke-box inside me is playing a song
That says something different. And when was it wrong?

On Waterloo Bridge with the wind in my hair
I am tempted to skip. You’re a fool. I don’t care.
The head does its best but the heart is the boss —
I admit it before I am halfway across.
