in which she does a bunk

Thursday 8 November 2007 | 2 cookies in the jar

“What does it mean?” Mandarin wanted to know.

“I think it’s British schoolboy slang for playing hookey,” I mumbled into the phone from deep beneath the duvet, at about the time I should have been walking into my second class.

More on doing a bunk soon, because the Brujo is about to leave town to perform at his Duology III show in Santa Fe Saturday night, and I always get extra-scribbly when he’s gone. But in the meantime, who doesn’t love dancing cockatoos with an uncanny sense of rhythm? Even if they are dancing to Backstreet Boys.

    What happens when he hears James Brown? I wonder me.
