But tonight I am seeing Roky Erickson in Camden. I am torn between excitement at seeing a true pioneer performing his (fucking twisted) magical tunes, and excitement at getting back into bed afterwards.
A day of opposites. You?

but I'm all alone in the house all day and all night this week so I'm a bit sad. I also have lots of college work to do which I keep ignoring because it's hard.
I'm going to try and experiment with rainbow cakes this afternoon to see if I can use a biscuit icing thing (which looks like a giant comedy syringe) to layer the colours better. I'm hoping I can be all "BOOM PURPLE! BOOM BLUE" etc.

I did make a bee corset once though because I found ribbon that had bees on it.
I do actually find the college work really interesting, but when I say it's hard I mean it's time consuming really. On the particular module I'm doing I've got to collect together information, brochures and samples from companies like stone masons and joiners before I can write an essay to answer the question, so it's the faffing around of emailing companies and requesting a brochure before I can actually sit down and answer the question. The essay writing is fine, I can rattle off an essay in an hour but collecting all the info is annoying. And I then get bombarded with phone calls and emails asking me when I want to install the oak flooring I requested a sample for.

"Flying - Wow! It's awesome! Who wouldn't want to fly? Well, me for a start. I'm assuming this really is a one power only thing, and so the only special thing about you would be that you could fly. So, you'd freeze to death, or not be able to breathe. I call that one a FAIL. Even if I'm wrong, and you don't die, it'd still be a bit shit because it's a really obvious superpower, and once people knew you could fly it'd be all like "Ooh save me!" and even if you couldn't be arsed or were busy or drunk or some shit like that. Also, once people know you can fly, your city is under constant attack. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH COUNCIL TAX WOULD GO UP IF THERE WAS A MONSTER/SUPERVILLIAN ATTACK EVERY WEEK?!?! It's just selfish really."
