It’s been a quietly geeky day. Woke up around 11am not feeling the shots of last night too much which was good. Went online and surfed aimlessly for a little while. Then in a one of these things, spend the afternoon blowing Blood Bowl with the V. I didn’t do very well but I have a new team now and they are coming a long a little better than the last one.<\/p>\n
Feeling a little house bound with a minor headache and a need to walk, I went out for a walk. Picked up the discman wanting some Sigur Ros. I was crossing Chelsea bridge and something about the view caught my attention. I was looking in towards London and I think I thought I should be impressed by the view or something like that. About a second later I realised how wrong that was. I don’t like this city, I don’t like it at all. I hate calling it home. <\/p>\n
I was walking back along Chelsea embankment towards Albert bridge and I was listening to Untitled Number 3<\/i> and I don’t know why but it hurt, and I mean that in a good way. It just hit me and it hit hard. It was so very beautiful I was walking along and it was going and going and going and it was almost perfect. Strange, I know.<\/p>\n
I just finished The Dice Man<\/i> and I’d like to quote to you from the last few lines:<\/p>\n
“Who’re you?”
\n“Oh yeah, I keep forgetting. I am”<\/p>\n
Man, it’s perfect, it’s beyond perfect. It’s a wonderful book, it’s a really wonderful book. One day when I have that library, it will be in a place of honour. There is a sequel but I don’t think I want to read it. The copy I have has a preview chapter of it at the end and I don’t want to read it. It stands on it’s own perfectly. There is no need for anything else.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what to read now. I don’t think I have anything which I can follow that with. So the choice is to go looking in the ‘to read’ box or to go for some fluff entertainment and just enjoy it. I don’t know. I’m also rereading 100 Bullets<\/i> trades but I want a book aswell. I wonder what I have lying around.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is September the first. How did that happen? I don’t know where the past few months have gone to.<\/p>\n
On this day in:<\/p>\n
2002. I watched Battle Royale<\/i> and The Ring<\/i> for the first time
\n1997. I met up with a group of friends and we went to see Conspiracy Theory<\/i>
\n1996. A couple of school friends came around and we played Nintendo for the afternoon
\n1995. It would appear I came home from school and spent the entire night watching tv.
\n1994. School bored me.<\/p>\n
Hmm, not that much there really and not much to add to it this year either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
