the moment that changed me: the world discovered my secret blog

'it was probably letting it be published in the grauniad  that pushed the self-destruct button. HR started reading it, my boss started reading it, their boss started reading it, soon the entire department was closed down to prevent me telling the truth about the boredom and stupidities of modern work. 

and all I got was a big fat redundancy cheque...'

this is of course not what happened to horsemouth. nor was he transformed into a writer by this experience that he didn't have. 

this morning horsemouth woke up in his main abode, having gone there to guard the property from felonious youth (imaginary) and to watch a movie, daryll was in anyway (it turns out). he felt guilty he was leaving the gaff he was cat-sitting unprotected by occupation.

this morning he got up. put the coffee on and looked around for the laptop (but of course it was at the cat-sit gaff). he could (of course) if he'd thought about it, used the netbook (such a frightfully loyal and battered little machine) currently sitting neglected in a corner of the room. 

yesterday to horsemouth listened another great mix from jacken elswyth of the shovel dance collective and betwixt and between tapes fame. and following on from that he listened to part of vinyl coda by philip jeck. horsemouth saw philip jeck play once at a wire event on turntablism with various luminaries from the UK turntablist scene. 

today horsemouth goes to the library hoping to use their scanners and printers. in the evening he goes to the pub with steve. 

friday howard is back from his journeys in the alfriston area (and might be coming round to avail himself of the shower (er. and then they might go for a beer).

sunday the anniversary of the release one year ago of covers. 

horsemouth is contemplating trying to get the fall of the house of fitzgerald into a short film competition (mostly so that it will get shown and people will see it). to do this he would need to get it cut down from about 15 minutes to less than 10 minutes. he is hunting around for a way to get this done (but perhaps he should check with his collaborators if this is ok first).
