Hmm.
I've had a slightly frustrating two days.
But the good thing is I'm frustrated enough to do things that need to be done, even if it wasn't the things I thought I would be doing.
In the last two days I have, in roughly chronological order:
Washed most of my clothes and towels.
Bought more dental floss, razors, vitamin E and other stuff that I was running short on.
Hung all my clothes out to dry, soon to be ironed.
Travelled to Stratford to pay my rent and return a bunch of library books to the Stratford Library.
(While I was there I found a copy of Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis on the shelf, and I was tempted to borrow it, but I am currently chugging throught the Harry Potter... I wonder what it says about me that after I read a Harry Potter book the next book I will read will be by the Author of American Psycho)
Gone to the Leytonstone Library on the way home and, since I had my Lease in my satchel, signed up for membership there. Despite a short argument over whether my Lease Agreement was valid (it looks sketchy but it is a legal document and legal proof of address) I now have access to not only the Leytonstone Library, but all the Libraries in Waltham Forest... Slowly I am building an Empire of Borrowing Rights across London... Bwa Ha HA HA HA!
While I was checking out a book by the 19th/20th Century writer/artist/designer and socialist William Morris I got into a chat with the Librarian at the counter who saw my Bauhaus badge and wanted to know what they sounded like. That spiralled into a discussion of Punk, post-punk and glam before taking a left turn into the history of Graphic and Industrial Design in the early 20th Century (ie the Bauhaus School) and all of that.
I also finally bought a little USB Flash Drive sos that I can move data from one machine to my laptop without having to take my laptop to the Mac Shop (which, let's face it, I might as well do anyway).
But it does mean that I have my CV on the Flash Drive and I don't have to Faff about with downloading it from my Hotmail Account every time (my previous way of keeping an accessible record of my CV here in London).
Checking my mail I discovered that my Ex Hilary's new band, a goth-metal outfit call Adastreia, are going to be one of about fifteen unsigned bands to be on the next Terrorizer Magazine Fear Candy CD.
I ran a search, followed a link and found another MP3 of one of their songs. Not bad.
It is also notable that it is the first time that I have ever hear anything that Hilary has played on the Keyboard (with the exception of when I saw her play with Kevorkian back in Brisbane back in early 2003, but I don't remember anything about that, I wasn't paying attention then).
That's right, in the whole nine months we were going out, she never once played piano in front of me.
Anyways, I'm going to go home, read more Harry Potter and do some ironing.
Over and out.
