Hello.
I don't suppose I'm welcome here any more...like a errant family member who buggers off for months on end to noone-knows-where, then occasionally surfaces at funerals, only to swipe a few tuna sandwiches and skulk off into the sunset.

I don't much care for tuna sandwiches.

I have been tired of late. Turns out that having a job and trying to be creative don't go too well together...particularly when you spend a large proportion of your life embroiled in the pure evil that is COMMUTING and then spend what little money you did manage to save on SHOES because you're too depressed about the commuting and the tiredness to manage to save...

But anyway.
New York was fabulous, as ever.
I didn't eat as many bagels as I had planned, but I did discover an incredible bakery selling giant sugar-free raisin and ginger rock buns, which sound improbable and terrible but in fact were incredible; and I ate one every day and drank coffee and then got a bus to a stranger's house in New Jersey in order to peruse the contents of her basement, because she had the most amazing collection of 50's clothes ever, bought many lovely dresses, stayed there until 1am drinking wine and making fun of Silvio the obsessive-compulsive dog, then almost got stranded when the bus back to New York didn't arrive, then when it finally arrived spent the journey hiding from the blue-haired psycho boy that I was very afraid was going to stab me.

I realised today that the last time I went on a sunny holiday was 3 1/2 years ago and that was with my parents.
Maybe I should stop spending all my money on shoes and vintage dresses. But where would be the fun in that?

We saw Jerry Lee Lewis (at a gig, not in the street) whilst in New York, which again, was amazing...just astounding to see a legend - and he is still a genius on the piano at 73 or whatever he is.

Last weekend finally saw the arrival of our internet connection...after 3 months... and surprise, it's completely crap. I could go to the video shop and rent a video in the time it takes to load something on YouTube.

So, the plan for 2008 is to get things moving with all things writing related. I have bought myself the world's biggest desk to the recording-studio's amount of equipment I have acquired - and have so far written what I think could be Meatloaf's next big hit.

Poor Meatloaf, named after a rubbish meal.

One-two, one-two, and through and through
The vorpal blades go Snicker-snack.

Bye x
