Bath, Avebury and Glastonbury = all fun. You were expecting a travel report? Nah.
More importantly, I have new CDs! I have Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica, The Cure's Japanese Whispers, Gorillaz' Demon Days and Einstürzende Neubauten's Strategies Against Architecture III: 1991-2001, which I'm listening to now. They all seem like pretty great albums! |

Answers to the quiz that nobody got:

14. My sex-change operation got botched / My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch / Now all I got is a Barbie-doll crotch / I got an angry inch! / I'm from the land where you still hear the cries / I had to get out, to sever all ties / I changed my name and assumed a disguise / I got an angry inch!

* Revise for Tuesday's politics exam. Status: Doing that now.
* Look over and if necessary rework in-progress script for Thirty Pieces of Silver (working title). Status: Will do that after I do some revision.
* Continue the script. I need to talk to Laura for this, as I've hit a bit of a sticking point - I'm not sure exactly where the plot is going, nor how it's going to get there. Status: that'll happen whenever she's online for long enough to handle my neuroses.
* Find out that the average yearly earning for a writer is £8,000, and resign myself to probably never earning much from it; decide that if poverty is good enough for Alan Moore and Jan Vermeer, it's good enough for me; hope that living in a bedsit below the poverty line will make me interesting and sexy. Status: Already done.
* Watch a movie. Or maybe a TV show I have on video/DVD. Status: May not do this at all if I'm making progress with the aforementioned writing.
* Bore anybody still reading my blog with unnecessary details about my daily activies. Status: Just finished. |

Right now I want to avoid telling you that "something inside of me snapped", but that's honestly what happened. I felt it, heard it, exactly like when you stretch a rubber band just too far - except it happened to my soul, and it made me jump to my feet and say: |
