I read the first couple chapters of Phillip K. Dick's Confessions of a Crap Artist last night and not only did it make me forget (temporarily) that I am super-nervous and giddy, but it also made me think that maybe someday I'll do something of worth, too.

I have not long finished Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay. I listen to music I love that much, that feels that life affirming to me, every day. For instance today, King Tubby's 'I Trim The Barber'.

"calling occupants of interplanetary craft" by the carpenters, it's the bit where Karen sings "with your mind, you have abilities you know", it's just great.

i am now going to try that carpenters song, to maintain my "floating above ennui" this morning feel.

I'm currently on an item a week. Silences Of The Palace last week, Double bill of Xala & Adaptation last night. Just as well cos the rest of my life is quite complex right now.

Not in an oo-er way Mark. Unfortunately. Just in that damn protestant work ethic way which is extri unfair considering I'm no protestant.
