Something under the bed is reading George Bernard Shaw...
Yes but the other day I performed the annual clear-out of the no-man's land that is the space underneath my bed. Amongst the general detritus that had amassed due to a combination of hosting messy parties nearly every week and generally being a bit slovenly, I discovered...

One copy of Man and Superman (nibbled)
A nearly full packet of tobacco
A large roll of gaffa tape
One small bottle of peach schnapps (full)
An awful lot of clothes
An awful lot of clothes moths
A broken glass
A fez
A morse code machine
Half a biscuit (bourbon)

Watching (in chronological order):

The Victorian English Gentlemen's Club, Dustin's Bar Mitzvah, Neils Children, The Blob, more shambolic (in a good way, of course) country-punk from Greg and James, lots of ladies taking their clothes off, The Hepcat Huzzahs, more ladies taking their clothes off, Spaced (series 2), The Prisoner, Bedazzled (the Pete n Dud one, obviously), The Blues Explosion, I'm Alan Partridge (series 2), Shrag, The Hot Puppies, Art Brut, The Prisoner (again), The Day Today, The Young Knives and Gang of Four. That is all.

Reading:

The Prodigy by Herman Hesse.

Listening to:

My Computer - Lonely
Neils Children - new demos
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute (lp)
Comanechi - Naked
Eighties Matchbox - Rise of the Eagles
Can - Soundtracks

Drinking:

and drinking and drinking and drinking and drinking...

Appearing:

on BBC2 this tuesday as glamorous assistant to 'amusing' 'cockney' 'type' Mike Reid.
