just had a pleasant evening arguing with father dearest over the nature of freedom in the UK, our part in the invasion of iraq, the history of WW 2 and the role of an officer in the military. hope no one walked past the house at the time as it all got rather heated toward the end.

anyway...passed my first year, starting to read up on land law now. counselling's going well, but still drinking. trying to read Gibson's Spook Country, but not really getting into it yet. he has a distance and isolation as a writer which, although incredibly cool and atmospheric, always leaves me a bit cold until the re-read. also bought training day, great movie. supposed to meet a friend in town, but just feel so exhausted all the time now seem to keep nodding off in work so am in no state to go out. see the GP tomorrow, need to sleep
