Some Bric-a-Brac Stuff (Tales from the SSC&B)

That was very, very odd, thought the red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse), she was sure that she had written a small piece about the Stream-of-Consciousness, but there’s nothing on her laptop – but how could it be? – more than odd, but she decided to do something different today, she would go to one of the markets not far from here.

But before anything else she would have to put her two bin bags out, as she mused as she lugged down those many stairs, maybe she could reform herself a little bit: for example, she could lay off some of that coffee and chocolate, and even that lovely wine, but not quite yet, as she grinned to herself.

All that finished, she strided off to decide where she was going, since she knew some of the best places to go now, as she looked around in that neighbourhood.

She passed the wedding shop – not for her she knew, as she crossed the street and then walked around the corner; where there seemed to be a celebration, and then she clicked, it was the Cinco de Mayo.

She continued over a couple of streets before finding herself in the particularly good market – with lots of art, crafts, vinyl, gorgeous vintage clothes, and all kinds of bric-a-brac stuff, but what to buy, she thought; but then she couldn’t decide.

There were several food emporiums around, and all looking very nice, but as usual she decided to go over to the Six-Sentence-Café-and-Bistro for lunch.

So that’s where it when! Who knew? That red-headed writer was very confused. But, at least she’d found it. So that’s alright. That Stream of Consciousness, hmm, it was very strange.

  12. I totally love stream-of-consciousness, but I also know how difficult it can be, as counter-intuitive as that may sound!

    So, tip of the hat on this Six. Like most good performance art, you make it look easy and natural in the reading

    muy coolito!

    • It was certainly interesting… that stream-of-consciousness just disappeared, and then it came back again. Sleight of hand, maybe?

      And also, thank you – what a nice thing you said!

  16. A perfect pairing of story and music vid (not that we always look to align them specifically), Chris. Fun with an undercurrent of frantic, resolution arriving where it was headed all along – the red-headed writer enjoying the street markets, taking it all in. Funny about soc. Are they ever meant to be remembered? Or are they about what comes next? Lunch at the Six Sentence Café and Bistro is an excellent way for la Raconteuse to wind up her day!
