Busy, Busy

If you are wondering why I have been rather quiet for the past couple of days, it is because I’ve been busy. Being self-employed is like that – long periods of worry interspersed with short periods of frantic activity. This week I’ll be earning lots of money, which will be a good thing given the forthcoming dental bill.

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be heading back west (hopefully getting a table on the train so I can work en route). And Thursday I finally get the dratted tooth properly seen to. Then I expect to be working much of the weekend in order to get the current project finished.

Footsore

I spent much of the day out shopping in London. There has, after all, been fabulous weather all day. Most un-London-like. I spent far too much money on music, but as I averaged less than $8 per CD I’m not feeling too guilty. It is all the fault of Fopp, the world’s most dangerous record store.

More about all of that lot later. For now I’ll just note that i did manage to find a copy of Michel Houellebecq’s H.P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life. Having had no luck in the Lit Crit section of Borders, I finally found it in Horror, shelved under L for Lovecraft rather than H for Houellebecq. I guess that’s where the Lovecraft fans will be most likely to find it. But don’t go looking because I bought the last copy.

Traveling Again

I’m off to London this morning. I’m cat-sitting for a friend for a few days. I should be able to get online at least once a day, but that may have to be through the good offices of Starbucks and the like. We shall see.
