So the course is over, it’s been both a long and a short week at the same time. I’m pretty tired out, I’ve been getting to bed earlier than usual and in that sense I’ve had a good week. Realised something interesting about timing and things like that which I have to think about.

This evening I’m pretty restless. I don’t know what I want to do, but I know that I want to do something. Today we finished early so I’ve been home for a while (none of the usual Friday night fun for me, as I don’t want to take the tube to the other side of London) and I’m, well I’m bored. I’ve done a small bit of cleaning and organising and I’ve played Eve and fuck all else really. I have loads of stuff to watch and to read and none of it is jumping out at me now.

I’m thinking perhaps cinema but there is fuck all on that I really want to see, a few things I may go and see but again nothing jumping out. I guess I’ll play Eve for most of the night.

Song of the week and indeed my life right now is Springsteen’s The River some of it is just so charged up and it rocks hard.

I dropped my discman yesterday, most of it is fine…except for the increase volume button which is well fucked. Suspect it’s going to mean a new one which is one more expenise I could do without this month. Shall check out the prices on the way to Dublin in a couple of weeks.

Finished Chasm City and since then Diamond Dogs/Turquoise Days, the two novellas collected which were excellent. Looking forward to finishing Redemption Ark and then onto the new one which I have not read.

Google IPOing….well it’s about time but does seem like it was perhaps a bit forced on them. I wonder (hope) this is going to be a rallying point of some sort for the internet industry and that we will all benefit from it. I am already considering how I can go about buying some shares in it. Thing is, they would have to be long term and I don’t have much cash I could tie up like that…unless I sold some of my shares which I really don’t want to do. Still, thinking about ways and means. Also, hot damn but this letter alongside the IPO information is good stuff. Man I want to work for them!
