Don't seem to be sleeping much at the moment - and yet, for the most part, I'm not feeling bad on it. Although that said, if you see me dozing off at the Luxembourg show tonight, don't gloat about it, eh?
Although I like the 'above the pavement, the lawn' quality of grassing over Trafalgar Square - and it trounces much of what trades as either art or protest these days - they didn't get it quite right. Obviously it would never look as striking once it was obscured by people, but to really catch the mind they should have gone past the fountains, just as virtual reality has to really wrap around past the obvious limits of the human field of vision.
It was irksome that lately Pretty In Pink and The Beautiful & Damned seemed to have synchronised their monthly cycles, but on top of that, this Thursday gone their guiding lights both bowed out - Sean departing Pretty In Pink for the USA, Dickon B&D for other projects. I would have liked to be able to say my goodbyes to both, but realised early on that if I tried to do that I'd do neither of them justice. I don't know how PiP went, but B&D was full and fun enough that I never had time to worry I might be missing out. And that's the main thing, isn't it?
Iain M Banks has written another Culture book. And it's a mammoth one, with appendices and everything. GET IN!
Harlan Ellison - perhaps the only man in the world who can get away with calling Grant Morrison Jim Morrison and still have my respect.
