23.6.06 The Week of Acting Dangerously

To apologise for not writing in so long, I give you a mixtape (32MB, please be kind and download rather than stream). It is rather mopey, as I wasn't in a good mood when I made it. Link will be up until 30 June only; track list upon request.

In the past five days I've written off two one-sided friendships and pissed off a literary agent. The agent was patently an idiot, but I don't think he'd ever been told that to his face. Man, I got walked out of that dump of an office like he thought I was going to nick something. I had to dig my nails into my hand to keep from laughing. I make books and pictures. All he makes is phone calls. And he thinks I should worry about not kowtowing to him? I just have to worry about making sure my work doesn't suck.

Fear me, for I am in a taking out the trash kind of mood.

I also have a strange urge to write a song about this. When I next have money (ha!) I will actually start learning to play blues guitar. If any of you know a good teacher in the London area, let me know.

This afternoon I begin my second day of work on my next screenplay, Devil Town, for which I am at the perfect pitch of fury right now. But not before I email a theatre producer and tell him he's a waste of flesh.

Ah, I love the sulfuric tang of pure, undiluted truth in the morning.
