Oh, this is an outrage.
Right, so my accountant (actually my Dad's accountant) has made it very easy for Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs. They've said, "look, our client was clearly not earning enough in 2005 or 2006 to be liable for tax, so give her back the entire amount she has paid in those years." And the cunts are refusing to pay until they...

It's not really - it's a bit rubbish.

My colleague spent most of the afternoon looking for a Jewish person, we should get those two together!
Bugger. Bugger. I buggered up my hair.
The repair job is taking place as we speak but I'm pretty sure I've bought the wrong type of colourant and that the peroxide isn't strong enough. BUGGER.
A rogue urge has come upon me. I might have changed my mind in a week but for the last 24 hours I've been gripped by desire to go back...

Sounds good! I can't say I'm doing so hot in either love or money, but I'm not doing bad. And I'm keeping steady with the drinking. Persistance pays off you know! I think some time alone to focus on the novel without distractions could only be benificial.
So I slept in most of the morning. Then I went to work for four hours. Then I came home and slept for a while. Since then I've been up for three hours. Now I'm going back to bed.

This is close to my idea of paradise...

Well, you must rectify your cat situation as soon as possible. Our two are two shadowy streaks of silliness and teeth. I don't think my legs are ever going to recover...

Do you think the phrase, "I want to be left alone" is too negative an opening for a novel? What about, "I want to be left alone, but constant company has been foisted upon me" ?

Sadly I don't think i'll be able to make it to Bristol i'm afraid, i start my new job this week and I doubt they'd be happy with me taking time off already! I hope you have loads of fun though! X
So, a month's worth of update to come. But for now, a cocktail I had somewhere in Shoreditch:
Take one mean-ass espresso and make it cold.
Make a martini glass cold and add the cold coffee to the cold glass.
Slosh in a wee shot of frangelica, so they say, but I fancy my chances with amaretto.
Gently stir in a little toke of kalhua....

Robson Green? Are you mental?
Why not watch some quality crime drama like The Shield or The Wire instead eh?

I have no opinion or comments, as I don't know a damn thing about any of this.
But I guess this still qualifies as a comment. Hmmmm.

Well, that's what everyone was shouting.
But it was Machine Head's house, every other band was merely sub letting.
My desk looks just like that too, I wouldn't worry.

Ballet = 
Part of our studio was roped off today because it had flooded in all the rain. What a mess! I got there early and had a nice conversation with the teacher. She was asking me lots of stuff about my previous dancing - I wasn't sure whether she said 'have you done ballet before?' or 'you have done ballet before,' and then wished...

I can't help but think that would result in merely a disgruntled and slightly greasy cat.
Which is no bad thing I'll grant you.

I'd prefer it if Christina didn't do the stupid Mariah-Carey stylings towards the end. But even so...
thequestion:
I like cats and hats seperatly, but I'm also very fond of Dr Seuss.
I've got an extremely important life decision to make. No, not whether to move to London. Nor what colour to dye my hair. But whether to alter the narrative of the novel to 1st person perspective. More on this later.
Edit: A dude on myspace who I've messaged, like, once or something just posted in a bulletin that I rekindled his interest in writing.

The fact that they don't look like they should write songs like that but do is just one of the many reasons I love the Deftones.
Re-edited to say: SHIT!
It's ok. My set is back.

Without wishing to sound as though I'm making with the anti-American sentiments, I have been wondering. Considering that the art of the cocktail was pretty much pioneered in America, why is it that today the US influence on specific cocktails is exactly what makes them shit?

Just arrived back from New York. Can't really talk about it at the moment, I think I'm going to die if I don't eat something. It's not that I didn't eat while I was away, it's just that I don't know how long I've been awake, what time my last meal was or how many times I should have eaten since I last got out...

I've always wanted to go to New York; my sisters love it there and I hear the waffles are to-die-for! Good luck with the book.
