I've just finished reading Richard Herring's new book, 'Talking Cock'. Richard has been a regular read for many bloggers for quite a while now, and I for one was looking forward to what I hoped would be a couple of hundred pages' worth of 'Warming Up'. In fact, 'Talking Cock' was completely different to what I was expecting. It was brilliantly funny, but it was also deeply insightful, and not just in the research and bald information, but in the deep and eye-opening thoughts that Msr. Herring threw into the mix every now and then.
Cracking stuff.
Stuff...
I haven't done this for a while...
I'm reading...:Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra. One word at this point - interesting. That is all.
I'm listening... to Athlete's 'Vehicles and Animals' (Hot damn! This album is still growing on me), Jools Holland and Friends - 'Small World Big Band'.
I'm writing...: not much, to be honest. I'm mulling over this new project, picking at it and generally wondering how I'm going to get everything into a novel without it seeming like a Nick Hornby book. Not that that would be a tragedy, or anything.
I'm wondering... exactly where in the world my old copy of 'Breakfast of Champions' is. It should be somewhere between here and Daniella in Sydney, probably in a plane. Fly little book, fly!
I'm drinking...: far too much absinthe.
I'm playing...: lots of games. In a rush of generosity, James 'supersonicboyuk' Foster bought me 'Devil May Cry 2' for the PS2 for my birthday, and I bought myself 'Jedi Starfighter' on impulse (it was cheap) and 'Gran Turismo 3 - A Spec' as a pre-meditated £14 bargain at the beginning of the month. 'Jedi Starfighter' was just all over too quickly, but GT3 looks like a game with, as they say, some serious legs in. Must...write....must...write...
That Time Of The Month
I'm adding to the links, people! In a fit of generosity and curiosity, I will link to anyone who comments and wants one...even if I've no idea who you are. My reading is mostly based on my links bar, so if you get a link, I'll read you.
It's as simple as that!
So...who wants one?
