Proposing course dates for four schools, faxing edited brochures to my boss, calling a lady in Phoenix, more faxing, answering phones. I'm eating pizza and looking at ILX instead. Damn Fridays.

― Mandee, Friday, 28 February 2003 19:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I should be listening to "I Was a Teenage Pirate" but Im having coffee at home and clearing my lungs of second hand smoke.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 28 February 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

i should be editing a manuscript on white fijians and their relationship with the colonial trope of paternalism - something they strive to protect as if it were the last drop of fijian bitter on the island. and it's saturday here and it's a bit sunny and i just wanna duck down the road for a coffee and danish. only 30,000 more words to go.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Friday, 28 February 2003 21:37 (twenty-three years ago)

buying vegetables and a hunk of meat for dinner. finished that pesky manuscript, BTW.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Saturday, 1 March 2003 22:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I should be reading some samuel beckett.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 1 March 2003 22:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Start with Murphy, and if you're feeling ambitious, go on to the trilogy. Usual offer applies...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 1 March 2003 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

i've started 'endgame'. The library has got round to ordering 'mercier and camier' and I'm picking this up on monday.

I might need the trilogy. I'll contact you.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 1 March 2003 22:30 (twenty-three years ago)

vocal overdubs. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 1 March 2003 23:11 (twenty-three years ago)

the trilogy could be reduced to, 'my stick, my stick!'

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Sunday, 2 March 2003 03:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Cheers. I've finished Francis Stuarts's Black List, Section H and I'm about to start the trilogy. I suspect I'll read Molloy and the read something else before returning to Malone Dies unless it tutns out to be unputdownable (which is quite likely). Of course, now that it's been precis'ed as 'my stick, my stick!' I may not bother...

― Minky Starshine (Minky Starshine), Sunday, 2 March 2003 03:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I should be working on my personal software project, but instead I'm putting together more of my apartment to the soundtrack of Human League's "Dare" album.

Editing. Damn AVID crashes too much.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 2 March 2003 05:13 (twenty-three years ago)

i really don't think the trilogy will be unputdownable - but 'malone dies' is the best, i think... i'm reading 'nightwood' by djuna barnes, which is very different form the last book i read, 'the corrections' by jonathan franzen. have fun.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Sunday, 2 March 2003 05:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Sleeping. I've been having a real problem doing that lately.

Could you do one 3000 word piece linking them together? Might be quicker.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 2 March 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Catching-up on some "pleasure" reading that has turned into "drudgery" reading - meaning it's good for me to read, but I am not derriving much joy from the text.

I also need to read last week's paper.

And do some editing.

And brush my teeth, 'cause they feel icky.

And look for my hairbrush that went missing last night.

And write some "thank you" letters and cards and such to thoughtful people.
Instead, maybe I'll take a nap.

Rewriting the interface between UCL's student records system and the library system. Well, writing a detailed technical spec for said rewrite first (I will probably rewrite it myself anyway). It's an ancient C script, and needs recoding to PLSQL. Anyway, it's lunchtime.
