Raging toothache prevented me from sleeping much last night. All in all, not a great preparation for going out this evening, especially after the last time. However, despite needing to spend time filling in job applications, managed to get myself into a reasonably pleasant frame of mind in time. Felt a bit distant and disconnected - I really have so little to talk about nowadays - my head is full of the upcoming Belle & Sebastian records, strange books, and esoteric work related stuff.
The Comedy Store Players were excellent - a criminally small audience watched a couple of hours of clever, funny and entertaining improvisation. Surreal stuff. Uncomfortable acoustic evening visit afterwards.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
