The Last Week of joys from Wednesday 22nd to today
Gigs : Marni Stern at Islington Mill, great night, ace venue and Tartufi were a real treat
Films: Moon, hmmn a little disappointing, but the score was it’s saving grace by Clint Mansell “Requiem for a Dream and Solaris”and also Sam Rockwell was no rehashed Zaphod Beeblebrox this time
Books: Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman, an amazing graphic novel recounting Spiegelman’s father’s experience as a holocaust survivor, it won the Pulitzer prize in 1992. I had never heard of it up until a week ago and I rattled my way through it.
Also finished another Jewish life story The Colour of Water by James McBride. Now onto Malcolm X
Theatre: As We Forgive Them
Readings: Central Library, Geoff Ryman, entertaining reader
Purchases I can recall: a new laptop, a demon lamp, a breast pump, a lion ziefer, at least 8 frappucinos, 10 americanos, 4 large Sharon fruits, coconut water, gurana can, Brew dog Dogma and Chaos Theory, a solero ice lolly, a chicken Shaslick from the Gurkha grill, the guardian on Saturday, 1 bottle of Belgium finest wheat beer and 1 Leffe Brun for £5
Sold items I remember: Kickers, Ravel snake skin boots, Inside I’m Dancing DVD, Denim jacket, moto jeans
Drunk: more than I care to remember, and my bank won’t let me forget
Memorable things I’ve heard: “This might be the book to change your life,” response “maybe I’m happy with my life as it is”
Stupid things I’ve done: Fallen off my bike in my Gran’s car park, accused Joe Sims of murder, read a sign saying tortoiseshell cat lost and told my mum to look out for a micro chipped tortoise, thought the moon was made of cheese reading NASA’s announcement made on April 1st in You Magazine of all things
