I'd just like to say that of the four people who left comments on the last blog, two were American, one was German and one was Icelandic. And that is marvellous. Thank you. Poor form from the likes of Evil Uncle, clearly runnign scared..

Some Days

Well chappies I feel I should tell you that this blog may well have contracted a terminal disease known as being in Blighty. You see, some bloggers like that stalwart cupcake Kat (how the devil are you m'dear?) might as well face it they're addicted to blog, a true online diary chronicling the woes and nice bits of the daily grind. But I fear I canna be arsed.

But, to continue for now. Having gone to Spain with a plan to do some writing, but having no real idea how it would all turn out (it looked like it was all going to go tits up at one point and I thought about leaving) I came back with what can basically be described as a book. Perhaps not a very good one, but a book nevertheless. However, it was not finished and is so wierd that I have now to glue it all together and ty and make some sense of it, not easy to do with so many other distractions, but getting there slowly.

Interestingly, all bets are off on one of the most distracting distractions and it probably won't be doing much distracting for much longer.

Another monster distraction is the next project, which has had to overlap due to time constraints, deadlines etc. This weekend will see the shooting of 'The Flop, the Turn and the River'. At least thats what I think it should be called. Some prat wants to call it 'The Deal'. What can you do. Difficult to explain what it's exactly about because we are going to, as they say, 'wing it' and shoot as much footage as possible, then stick it together in editing. I am playing the imaginative part of 'Afro-Man', a fantastic and in depth character with a ridiculous haircut. So I'm not really acting at all....

Back to the book. Preliminary editing three-quarters done. Am re-writing a few stories that I have always hated. Anyone who remembers 'Unscheduled' will remember that it caused me lots of grief and it caused me all kinds of unpleasantness. It re-wrote it yesterday and now it's better.

Okay punkies, I must now attend to one of my distractions.

Kat: Hello Kat, how's Arnold? What good is satisfaction if you are not happy? What good is anything if you are not happy? And are you not just arguing semantics? If you are satisfied will you not be happy? Could you be happy if you were not satisfied? And I don't know if I'm one year better but I would go so far as to say that I was one year less stupid...

Sebastard: Looks like the 16th is back on, will send an e or try to call you. Will be organising everything today so hope to see you then. Sorry have not been in touch sooner. But then you are one of creations fouler monstrosities and it doesn't do to give you encouragement.

Bjorgvin: Especially as lots of famous and clever people searching for the meanign of life and trying to work out how to be happy went mad or became recluses or were terminally miserable sods, so they clearly had something seriously wrong... See you on the eighth mate.

Rube: not too much, went down the local for a couple and ended up having a late one so it was all good. But you see Rube, I'm even more of a clean living, upstanding memeber of the community now than I was iun China, and I have far more constructive things to do nowadays than hit the sauce. You see I- shit, gotta go, pubs opening.
