SNOW N' BOOKS

It only lasted half the day, but London had a good dusting of snow Wednesday morning. I grinned the whole way to work.

Meanwhile, could any of you lend me £9,300 for a lifetime membership with The London Library? I'm going to check it out in person tomorrow, but just from looking at the website - my god is it unreal. We're talking stuff like...

- 14 kilometers of shelving
- Exhaustive collections of various serial publications, including a run of the London Times spanning 185 years.
- A membership roster which has included the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.
- A private chamber for people like yours truly to masturbate furiously in reaction to the sheer volume of lendable literature avaliable.

Does this make me strange? I don't think it makes me strange.

I hope the chamber is free tomorrow!

Meanwhile, we are nearing the last page of the Treatment. Woooooooo!

I am a man who is highly excited by reading and writing.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS-MEGA DELUXE

So!
The kindly chump who I've been leaching broadband off of for the past month finally discovered how to lock his network. Thus, here I am back at the internet cafe, waiting until February 1st when British Telecom will hook me up to my own connection - which I can thankfully afford, after getting a few weeks of solid work under my belt. After doing a little budget, I figure I could even rebuild my shattered (LAPTOP/MOVIE/MOVING - THREE HIT COMBO TO WALLET) savings by the end of April. Financial security you say?

Meanwhile I've met up with my cousin Dan and seen the Tate Modern, finally. After that it was a few drinks at an equally few Thameside bars - beware the beer named "St.Fillelens"...or something like that.

The Archbrook treatment inches ever close to completion, with the second act basically wrapped up I just have to tie together all the loose bits I've written down for the third. I am super excited to start on the script proper as it feels like it shall be naught but gravy with the actual story worked out in advance. But we shall see!

Anyways, when my home connection is hooked up next Thursday y'all can expect more posts and a return of both pictures and new Dirk clips. I've redone episode 4 and will send it off to Joey T for a soundtrack as soon as I can.

Take care for now!
