Ways to spend a day when you're really supposed to be doing something else
I am supposed to be looking for accomodation but as I don't have a deposit this is quite tricky. Instead I am in the library wasting time on the internet, which feels like excessive luxury.
What can I do other than listen to Jeff Buckley's Grace (Thanks pesky) and send emails? Is there more to life than doing that? Do you think there's money in it?

Well, someone just dropped five pence on my foot - so maybe there is money in it... oh...wiat there....I just handed it back to them.
Sheesh.

Get a copy of Wise Children of the Goose Girl out of the library (book interchangeable depending upon what you like, of course) buy a cup of tea and go and sit down by the river at the back of the art school.
I would be there if I could.

oooh, that's an idea...
I just listened to Simon & Garfunkel's central park concert and now feel a) nostalgic b) like I deserve a gabadine suit and c) I need to get out more.
I could take a thermos.

me and my big headphones and my squinty computer face I pull. I'm a right local character, me.

well, it is raining here in Naaarch now.
so maybe the ack of the art school is not such a good idea.
have you been to the King of Hearts on Magdalen Street?
Or Briton's Arms at the top of the cobble street near the playhouse ( I can neer remember the name)
Both are lush as and on a rainy day will make you feel as cosy as a bug.

Seeing as how Buckley has been dead for eight and a half years it's hardly surprising he didn't reply, Tim!

You can't hang that on me, I didn't go to Memphis until November 1998. I DID visit the spot on the Mississippi where he drowned though.
I seem to be making a habit of these post-mortality pilgrimages!
In fact I have one coming up in about six weeks.

Now George, I'm not one to go telling p[eople what to do and I'm not one of these that reckons there's a potential book in every casual sentence but I honestly think that some kind of diary/journal about the great and the good who you've admired and who's deaths you were touched by would be great if written by someone like yourself, with your knowledge and turn of phrase from the places where they met their deaths.
some kind of 'Journey's End' reflection and an account of their effects on music etc.
just a thought.
what? you were waiting for something funny? oh... err.... How many animals can you fit in a condomn?
