While I've been away

Sometimes at the place where I work there are people who think that if they are loud enough it will make them right, it's quite hard to work with these people.

-

I took four kids out for a day, that's right FOUR, that was hard but fun and really rewarding. We saw Kung Fu Panda in the Imax at the BFI and we watched the chaps on skateboards and BMXs on the Southbank then we went to Lincoln's Inn Fields to play frisbee and pick Daisies and there was this middle aged guy talking loudly on his phone about how these kids had just come in to the park being noisy and ruining his sunbathing experience which bothered me a lot. Then I took everybody home and then went to a mate's house to have a few cans watch a bit of Glasto (Jigga was the nuts covering Wonderwall as was Mark Ronson in all his awkward handsomeness) and chat the night away eventually getting home at 6am and gagging for my bed.

-

Went to a BBQ after work on a Friday and met some lovely people and drank some lovely Punch and ended up going straight to work on Saturday after a quick change of clothes.

-

Enjoyed the Black Kids' Partie Traumatic vinyl and listened to The Pogues' Rum, Sodomy and the Lash and Bowie's Ziggy Stardust a helluva lot.

-

I spent roughly two weeks not in a desperate mire of depression which was a strange feeling in itself, I can still feel it just over the horizon though.

-

Finished a couple of books (Rumo by Water Moers, The Good Soul of Szechuan by Bertolt Brecht and Albee's Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf) and started one more (The Outsiders By S.E. Hinton) which means I'm roughly two fifths of the way through the fifty as for the 100 bands in a year I've seen 61 different bands I can remember the name of and about ten I can't.

-

Healthwise: generally well but for a few spells of dizziness, light-headedness and fainting

-

There's a girl at work whom I love to compliment but I think she thinks I'm trying to get in her pants which I'm not. My best friend at work whose name is Nicole keeps on surprising me and is forever appreciated.

-

All in all life has been the usual rollercoaster of thrills, spills and nonsense and now I feel better for this release. and hopefully the next time is a while lot sooner than this one.

YES YES YES YES YES. you need to check out those books IMMEDIATELY. looking for alaska, for me, was a life changing book. and the twilight series has taken over my life. it seriously has. the last book comes out on august 2nd, so you should read the first three before then. they're easy reads, and once you start reading it will become attached to your hand and you'll never want to put it down.
