Hey
Hey all.
I got up at half seven today, ate breakfast and read more of my Robin Hobb book. She seems to be the best embodiment of the idea that a great book should be written in such a way that you fly through the pages.
Which is pretty impressive, since she does deal with some pretty heavy issues and deep intrigue. Then again, I guess on a lot of levels I am still a n008 when it comes to reading stuff seriously. Why do they even bother to send people to university before a certain age?
Anyways, even with a late shower I was still able to make my 1330 Jobcentre Appt with five minutes to spare. Signed the piece of paper etc. Afterwards I looked on the computers, and found out that the Airforce is recruiting Intelligence Officers. Hmm. I might apply from that, though the fact that I am an Australian with possible strange political sympathies might mean that I am deemed unsuitable.
Chris D from STJ told me that one of his prize possessions is a photo of one of his friends, likely one day to be a prominent left-wing politician, standing next to a girl in an SS Uniform.
Anyways, I stopped at the Gym and bought some more weights (1.25 KG ones, since going from 5 Ki barbells to 10 Ki Barbells turned out to be a harder leap than I thought it would be), then I wandered up to the Charity Shop on Leytonstone High Road and scanned the bookshelves looking for interesting stuff. I wound up buying 8 books at 50p each. Not bad, oughta keep me entertained on the tube for a while.
They also had a pretty interesting record section, which almost makes me wish I had a turntable.
I'm going to head into London after this, just to take a look around and maybe buy some concert tickets. I have a neat momentum going with the reviews right now, and I really would like to keep that up.
(though to be fair, my lack of momentum previously did as much to do with not so many Australian acts coming through London as my own disorganisation etc)
Mental note: must ask the acting FL editor if there is anything he'd like me to write for with InTheMix.com
anyways, that's me up to the minute.
Hustle and flow.
Over and out.
