And for my sins, they gave me one.

And way out in seattle
Young Kurt Cobain
Snuck out to the greenhouse, put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet
Rain in the clouds above
Some moments last forever, and some flare out with love, love, love.
-The Mountain Goats
If you don't own a copy of The Sunset Tree by the mountain goats, i highly recommend you go out and track a copy down for purchase this very instant.
If you do own one, stop reading this irrelevant banter and go listen to it loudly through your headphones in the dark.
In other news, I found a monologue for drama scary exam eep no more school to do, and it's from this welsh play called Flowers of the Dead Red Sea, by Edward Thomas. It's a very, very tight and thought provoking play, and if you can find a script on the net, it's a great read, purely for the absurdist elements in a realistic setting-context. It also some great metaphorical lines, and smooth subject changes (as absurdism tends to) my favorite being: "The strong white horse of General Good, the angry stallion of progress, he will not be denied."
I also started drafing my OSP, but since I want to play a serial killer my writing starts to physcially scare me after a while, and i had to stop. It's gonna be twisted methinks. There's a huge swarm of serial killer cut-n-paste on my new computer now, and not much else, so if I die suddenly, and the cops raid my hard drive, they're in for a big surprise.
I'm reading this stupid science fiction book Dune. it's supposed to be like one of the greatest most famous amazing sagas ever written worthy or praise beyond tolkein but it sucks desert balls in my not so damn humble opinion. The hero is too heroic and the villain too evil. It's just unbelivable verbose trash written by a guy with better knowledge of science and biology than narrative technique and quick, witty prose. of course it's comprehensive, but so much so that I want to lift him up by the multiple appendices and give him a good kick in the prologues.
my mobile phone went thru the wash today, so until I can claim or get some kind of new thing, I'll not be contactable by that method. also it pisses me off.
Well, i'm gonna sleep off my demons, and hopefully regain them with reinforcments tomorrow morning.
respect and kindness.
