Burglary 2

Burglary. incl. a condition whereby sexual excitement accompanies housebreaking. or just visceral lawbreaking excitement.
Grandma's house. she is a widow. Memories of: gran n papa. In the kitchen or ante-chamber, merchandising tie-ins... Idea: take yr beloved character n stick him on a number of disreputable products.
Andy Capp is a lazy bastart. put him on a range of microwave chips n instant cup a soups. Reclining on his couch. "fat n lazy special".
Lifestyle marketing. target the overworked single person. Oldschool Andy Capp. back when he was a gambler and wifebeater. He really belongs to the twenties just like the Broons. Flo ought to be in a cloche hat, niggardly and complaining, wringing hats. (hands).
stumbling in the dark I bang into a door, flimsy wood. a shanty town shack on clifftop. the mother imprisons me. she's thin proletarian with a tribe of kids. she's sick of travellers banging into her door in the dark.
In her house, a Daily Mail or somesuch newspaper. I attempt to steal but the thing is too big. On cover: self-aggrandizing soapstar. soapstar as sex kitten.
quote from a tabloid: "Multi-tasking is the key to superstardom nowadays; as celebs balance acting/singing/modelling/whatever like so many spinning plates".
The post-modern celebrity, or the vaguely famous. In chameleon-like guises.
Empty house. Recurring dream: Empty houses.
Ransack it, be the intruder. Steal. Eat. Suck back soup.
Some sort of complex about locked/unlocked doors. Quite commonplace. Themes: openness, concealment, privacy or lack thereof. Leave doors open n all lights on. Passerby can see through hollow of trapdoor past concrete floor to cosy basement kitchen.
like, nakedness, public exposure, neglect of person or property, anxiety thereof. Very common.
