Hi Ho:
Hey All,
I've got some internet radio station in my headphones, playing some really trippy electronica. The kind of stuff I usually only hear as the soundtrack to the FlashTub movies on somethingawful.com.
Last night (as well as taking a call from Australia) I sat down and wrote the review of Wolfmother. I had already partially mapped it out, I just hadn't sat down to write it. Then I saved it as a .txt, later to bet put onto one of the neato flash chips my Dad gave me last time he was in England, and started writing a SF short story to enter into the SFX magazine comp.
Not too long ago I printed out the .txt file and at home tonight I will go through the hard copy with a red pencil.
It shames me that all of the reviews I have written for fasterlouder.com.au have lacked polish due to being rushed in some way or other, so I am trying to get into the habit of not letting this happen to any more.
The short story I just mentioned is nearly finished, and it is currently something like 1600 words, well within the acceptable word limit.
Other news: I'm going to put in a CV with cover letter at one of the local video shops, since they are looking for people who have a good knowledge of the film industry. And if I can't lay claim to that, I don't know what I can do.
And the Bell Tolls for this year's TV Licence. Which irritates me, since the BBC is so incredibly crap that I would pay not to have to watch some of their programmes.
Still, Life on Mars and Dr Who are pretty damn good, but are they worth the Licence Fee?
Nevermind. My share cames to just over £40.
Also: I just got a letter today that my National Insurance Number appointment has been booked for a few weeks from now. Which is good.
Tonight, just on a whim, I'm going to go see some bands play.
I think I won't go to Bang Face (a crazy new-school old-school raving thing at electrowerks), but I might go to Slimelight tomorrow night. Just for a stomp.
Over and out.
