I have a small gig right now during the summer driving my friend to and from work. It's not much at all, but I get to hang out with a friend and have something to do for twenty minutes in the morning and afternoon.

While I'm waiting for her outside of her house, I'm sitting in my car, with the ignition set at ACC, or whatever it is when the car isn't actually operating. I notice a faint mechanical hum I hear with the car turned on, quite high pitched, but noticeable with the radio or tape deck off. I then realize that I can modulate the pitch by pressing on the brake pedal, as well as pressing the gear-shift button (I drive an automatic). This occurrence has given me an endless amount of amusement for the past few days, playing little melodies on it that don't go farther than four notes.

A short film I am in as part of this exhibition is now on YouTube in two parts. It also features members of Monster Killed By Lazer, Broken Arm (ex-Sailors), Mob Rules, and Bilge Pump.

I'm beginning a new waitership next week. It's my third hiring in four months. The first one was a Japanese place with good folks but too casual service, and the second was an upscale joint that served the best food I've eaten in my short life but not without a serious case of Small Restaurant Dysfunction. There's going to be a steep learning curve the first few weeks at this new place, but I feel great about it.

Awesome to hear. Salut.

Nothing can breed resentment in the workplace more quickly than giving some people something. Word is spreading that Human Resources are having new blinds fitted, or, as I just heard them referred to, "fancy new bloody fancy things".

Hugues is too excellent in this.

"WHAT!"

According to my girlfriend, I was talking in my sleep last night.

Appearantly, I frightened her awake when I sat bolt-upright and asked, "Are you going to empty the piss-bucket?"

She didn't respond.

"Well? Are you?" I demanded.

"No," she said. "No I am not going to empty the piss-bucket."

"Then I'll do it," I said. And, according to her, I then sighed and rolled over dramatically, stealing all of the covers.

I do not recall any of this.

My colleague has just become my manager and with it an unreasonable arsehole. Ended up shouting and swearing at me over a fuck up we both missed before mocking me and calling me unprofessional! Jesus Christ, it’s just a film library for fucks sake. Ballbag.

Making my way through achewood in order- just got to the line “A turd with a bullet in it aint exactly 5 o’clock news” and laughed a lot!

Now to Lewisham library to try and research building techniques and legal altruism in early 20th century London.

I'm in Thailand! Going out for some dinner and drinks in Bangkok tonight, meeting up with an old schoolfriend. Should be great.
