“Am going to be top flight journalist and gradually build up more and more work and extra money so can give up job and merely sit on sofa with laptop on knee. Hurrah!” (Fielding 1999: 83)
4pm - Time for elevenses. (Remember I only got out of bed at 12.30pm) Tea and LIDL hot cross buns.
Have successfully done laundry and is now tumbling about being dried. The amount of energy used up in this country by people drying their clothes must be absolutely disgusting. Maybe I should try to find another way that is more friendly to the earth. There is not really any room for a drying rack in our little room. There are some lines hung up on the wall so maybe I should drip dry them. Have fear of using radiators to dry clothes although it seems to be the done thing.
Number of wing wangs in debt – AU 3000. (But that’s only 1200 GB wing wangs, luckily!) Briefly contemplated taking my Radiohead Hammersmith tickets to ebay. But then reflected on my “Ebay scalpers go straight to hell” theory, which I have stated loudly and forcefully on more than one occasion. May run risk of appearing hypocritical if sold out tix for profit at first sign of financial ruin. Plus would have trouble sleeping at night, etc.
Am reading Bridget Jones sequel. Obviously. Have not read first one but this was one of my charity shop bargains, 50p. Happy to say it is not bearing much resemblance to the revolting second film which I hated. Stupid Thai women's prison sequence completely ridiculous and cringeworthy.
Am not entirely sure of blog etiquette on referencing but figure you can do what you like, so have gone with Harvard style. Although cannot seem to make italics work here so is a bit unclear. Sorry.
Alain de B's new book has come out a couple of days ago. £15 at Ottakers. Resisted buying it as trying to curb spending however cannot see this lasting too much longer as I am going to see him launch it at the National Theatre and getting a copy signed is kind of essential. Plus on amazon it is only £11.87 (and you get free p+p if you spend 15 wing wangs, so could get copy of Essays in Love signed too...)
Got a copy of Kaz Cooke's pregnancy and birth book yesterday for an expectant friend. UK version is in the Rough Guide series - "The Rough Guide to Pregnancy and Birth." The original Australian edition was called "Up the Duff". Ha, ha.

My Sisteur, you are so cute. I don't think I've ever seen anyone reference anything on a blog before. Brilliant. Just fantastic.
I'm proud of you for not hocking your radiohead tickets for several reasons, here are the top three:
1. Radiohead, duh. I would have disowned you.
2. ebay scalpers DO go to hell.
3. Thom Yorke would have been mad at you, too. He got all grumpy (how unlike him!) at some people for selling their Radiohead tickets on ebay for "stupid money", when a lot of the money from those concerts is going to the Friends Of The Earth campaign. He suggested that people who sold their tickets donate 1/3rd of their profit to FotE.
*takes of radiohead nerd hat*
Anyway, loved reading all this, keep posting and I'll keep reading :-)
Lots of love for evs from Han.
