Quotation of the day: Fran Lebowitz -- Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
It's my diem off today and carpe it i certainly did! Life is to be embraced, i always say. No, really, i do. I know several people who have promised to punch me in the throat the next time i say it, they're so fed up hearing it.
So here's how i seized it: got up at 3 a.m., listened to the radio (94.9 The Rock, of course) until around 9, had a bath, went out for breakfast, listened to last Sunday's episode of "The Beatles Universe" (at www.streamingoldies.com), and then listened to CDs by The Mississippi Sheiks, J.B. Hutto, and Robert Wyatt. Then i did last night's dishes and a load of laundry and watched two (2!) episodes of the second series of "Between The Lines." Oh, look! There's the National Portrait Gallery's portrait of Francesca Annis, who's a recurring character in series two....
I have raved about this before, suggesting that it was the best police drama ever, but i have changed my opinion. I now think it was the best television programme ever. I was crying real tears at the end of the second episode i watched today -- you don't get that with "Friends" ....
