the less permanent

hello everyone,

when you don’t update your blog for over a month you start to think certain things. these are some of them.

‘wow, I haven’t updated that blog in a long while’

‘shit, when was the last time I did a blog post?’

‘people are going to stop reading my blog, I hate myself’

‘everyone is going to think I am a twat because I have forgotten to write anything on my blog’

‘why do I even have a blog?’

‘what the fuck am I supposed to write on a blog’

‘I will definitely update my blog soon’

‘my life used to be more interesting when I was making it seem interesting by having a blog’

‘I wish I never started this blog’

‘I wish I was better at blogging’

what have I done during all of this time?

I can’t remember. I am finishing the chapters of ‘a fucking awful weekend’ and readying them for the ‘print edition’. I am playing songs with other humans that play other instruments and making music that way now. I am ‘starting a whole new work of fiction’ it’s about a man and things happen to him.

I am re-reading random chapters from all of the Haruki Murakami novels I own. I think I still like ‘Norwegian Wood’ best, even though that’s not what a good reader/writer would probably say. I am also reading my friend Chris’ novel The Bird Room again and wondering if he’s just written what I was trying to write but a few years earlier and wondering if this is even fair since he’s a few years older than me. I am going to see Chris and ask him about this on Saturday, I think.

On last Thursday I went to a Bella Union concert at Union Chapel with John Grant, Lone Wolf, Alessi’s Ark and Mountain Man and I interviewed all of the bands and watched them and had a general nice time. My writing about that will be on the line of best fit very soon.

Erm..
