I don&#8217;t know what I want to do, but I know that I want to do something. Today we finished early so I&#8217;ve been home for a while (none of the usual Friday night fun for me, as I don&#8217;t want to take the tube to the other side of London) and I&#8217;m, well I&#8217;m bored. I&#8217;ve done a small bit of cleaning and organising and I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;ll play Eve for most of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Song of the week and indeed my life right now is Springsteen&#8217;s <i>The River<\/i> some of it is just  so charged up and it rocks hard.<\/p>\n<p>I dropped my discman yesterday, most of it is fine&#8230;except for the increase volume button which is well fucked. Suspect it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Finished <i>Chasm City<\/i> and since then <i>Diamond Dogs\/Turquoise Days<\/i>, the two novellas collected which were excellent. Looking forward to finishing <i>Redemption Ark<\/i> and then onto the new one which I have not read.<\/p>\n<p>Google IPOing&#8230;.well it&#8217;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&#8217;t have much cash I could tie up like that&#8230;unless I sold some of my shares which I really don&#8217;t want to do. Still, thinking about ways and means. Also, hot damn but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1288776\/000119312504073639\/ds1.htm\">this letter<\/a> alongside the IPO information is good stuff.
