So, yes, well...

I am unemployed. It is marvelous. I read, write, watch terrible films with the guys, and hang with Cara who not only rolls with my conspiracy theory that the movie 'Aliens' is a metaphor for teen pregnancy, with the answer involving an air lock, but also watches Rambo (of her own volition), and helps me understand Stephen Hawkins musings on time as a relative dimension.

Be warned that lady is possibly the smartest person I know. She may kill us all, or manipulate us into purple leopard skin.

Right now I am wearing tight purple jeans. I'm not sure how she did it, but I am scared.

Comedy is, for now, treating me very well. I love writing and my last gig made me so happy i wasn't sure how to express it physically. I believe i did a jig slash air five to myself. Applause breaks, a crowd roaring, and people shaking my hand was quite literally the most impact i have ever made on another person bar loving them.

Tonight Mark and I watched Aliens 3 which REALLY makes little sense. It is terribly written. I have realised Comedy has given me an insight into writing which is making my film taste even more obscure. Do not fear Rambo is safe on Mt.Olympus.

I've been watching Monty Python starting from episode one. One day, I have promised myself, I will meet John Clease and tell him I think he warped me as a child.

Book wise Its been The FANTASTIC Doom Patrol comic series (thanks Adam and Ben), Hawkins (audio I must confess), 'Plato and a Platypus Walked Into a Bar' (a book explaining philosophy through jokes), and Fast Food Nation. All are gems.

I really want to get a of copy Hunter.S.Thompson's Book on the Hells angels. Sadly it s not on Greenmetropolis.

I have become even more liberal with new anti-marketing material, and the realisiation I can not stand television due to the adverts.

I watched TV at my parents for the first time in months and spent most the time screaming "Skip to the end' at adverts. Watching 'Jack Dee Live At The Apollo' on Dave I was outraged when they even introduced a break between the final act and Jack Dee's 30 second sign off.

I'm starting to Think that even despite all the bile it produces like, for instance, 'Two pints of Larger and A Packet of Crisps' I should get a BBC logo tattooed for the shows they have given me to feed on:

Monty Python
Red Dwarf
A Bit of Fry 'n' Laurey
Alexi Sayles
Black Adder
The Young Ones
Planet Earth


and despite season three being muddled and a shade of its former self The Mighty Boosh.

I have a competition Thursday, The winner gets to headline a 15 minute set at Electric Mouse Angel. That would put me on the same stage as Izzard. The opportunity alone is fantastic!

Please read and if you like comment on my new Comedy Blog.

I can feel now that I am close to a break through or a crushing set back. If they are not indeed the same thing.

Muchos love my friends, you are not forgotten,
