horsemouth has got it down on paper (and he's done some walking)


horsemouth is not entirely sure when the last day for these things is but soon his mixcloud mixes will be gone so he urges you to get and listen to them now (the better to miss them when they are gone). horsemouth is glad to be back with you  having suffered the blue screen of death this morning. eventually his brave and plucky little laptop sorted itself out (god bless you little computer you have done it again). horsemouth was greatly afeared that, 

'this will be the last entry in my journal, and the last writing I shall ever do.' - journal of giles angarth, 13th august 1930 from clark ashton smith's the singing flame finished january 15th 1931.

horsemouth usually does his writing (ok his typing) in the morning or at night. today (yesterday by the time you read this - or possibly longer) he is doing it in the afternoon.

this is the advantage of internet outages - there is nothing better to be done (or merely looked at) than to write. (wait let him try connecting again).

horsemouth physically writes (i.e. pen on paper) almost nothing these days. for months he barely had a functioning pen (not wanting to go out and buy one). his diary is full of doodles, the odd quote, lists and figures. he also doesn't photograph his doodles any more (nor desecrate copies of the city am). 

horsemouth was just reading some of his earlier prose. he wrote much better then (largely because he was reading loads of beautiful prose in university libraries). the university lecturers have been marching (even the philosophers).

his meet up with catastro/FILLE on sunday has popped. there's a possible meeting with howard saturday, howard wants horsemouth to bring some psychology books for use in a student's sculpture. last night a meeting with (an)tony and rodrigo about the decarbonisation (a walk there and a walk back - so maybe about 4 miles all told - and a bag of chips (2.20)). horsemouth has been getting in some walks this week. (down  to bow monday, back from islington tuesday, down to the office and back from bethnal green wednesday, down to the office and back thursday - easily 20 plus miles all in)..
