Tax Return Blues
Posted Jan 29, 2003
I'm sitting here on H2G2 at 4:30 in the morning when I should be finishing off my tax return, I've had it for about six or seven months, and I need to take it to the taxman in the morning. Talk about procrastination, sometimes I amaze even myself. I've got to go now or I'll never get to bed.

Being a writer
Posted Jan 27, 2003
I bought the book 'Salmon of Doubt' yesterday and i'll have finished reading it today, no, it's already tomorrow. That is something that has always confused me, I know that the date changes at midnight but it never feels like another day untill I get up in the morning. So I think that this means that I will finish this wonderfull book tomorrow today, a new term for the period between midnight and bed time, I'll have a think about this, I may need to revise it cause it dosn't exactly roll off the tounge. Anyway its a wonderfull book, I may have said this before and I know that I'll be saying it again on many times many ocassions in the future, a wonderfull book, but it has forced a strange notion into my head. I want to be a writer, i've always been a reader, i've always been very happy being a reader, never really thought of being a writer at all except for the five or ten minutes between 'tomorrow today' and being asleep when the thought that I Can't has gone somplace else. The stange thing is I'm wide awake and thinking that I can, mind you I'm not reading what I've written to closely cause there seems to be too many commas and where is the damn spell checker on this thing. Oh no i feel the 'I cant's' comming, they are coming in the door, creeping across the floor, climbing up the chair leg, creeping up my spine, help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
