Really haven't been up to much at all. Waking up late, staying up late-ish. Re-watched Kill Bill 1 and a few episodes of Firefly. Read Clockwork, a good (and very, very short) book by Philip Pullman, reading Murakami's Wind-up Bird Chronicles (still...it is very long), started Seven Pillars of Wisdom (by the Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia), and am trying to make sense of Kant. Uh oh. Ate at a cool thai/japanese place that's not too expensive (by UK standards), and have been drawing a lot, seeing how I can integrate a comic-book/graphic novel style with my surrealist doodles.
Mostly just resting, but without much satisfaction.

Soft Night
silent graffiti
sprawling words stretched out on cream pink walls
spattered from on high by the seagulls
that freewheeled and caw-cawed through aharsh pink sky
still graffiti
a motionless oasis
in violence, silent. calm,
but eagerly longing for discovery:
notice me!
here! I am out of place
no whitewashed walls
a monument TO MAN’S INGENUITY
no pyramids of the metropolis
only the loving work of boys
somewhere between testament and confession
they who posses nothing
but are the property of adults
spray themselves out on other adult property
this is mine! until the paint
is covered by another layer
dogs piss at a fire hydrant
silent graffiti
crackling ground under Nikes
and from
far off
the whirr of sirens.

No one commenting. What is this? Well, I'm reading Mary Robison's Why did I ever... Lisa sent it to me for xmas. It's really, really good. Fragmented. Strange. Good.
Hope you're not too bored, my friend. Go out and DO something!
Love you, mom
I'm struck by your cosmopolitan day/night. Kill Bill, Murakami, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Kant, & a Thai-Japanese restaurant (a combination found only in Scotland!).
All of this is what a liberal education is supposed to be. Keep exploring!1! Grandpa Paul (GP)
