2002-02-08 - 12:14 a.m. I'm going away tomorrow... and then on Saturday... something is happening. I will elaborate later, maybe. Something important is happening. - Anyway, there may be a bit of a hiatus on the daily updates, so, uh, I hope no-one misses me too badly. ;) - There's this thing in a book by Fay Weldon, I forget which one, which goes: "Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens". I've definitely found it to be true. It's like, for long periods of time your life sort of drags along in same-old same-old mode, and you feel like nothing is ever going to change again, and then suddenly there's this huge rush and everything seems to happen at once. It feels like the latter is happening to me right now, or at least, starting to. It's always refreshing to begin with; it can get overwhelming sometimes, but I'm not going to let anticipation of future possibilities spoil the way I feel right now. Truth be told, right now I feel fan-bloody-tastic. And yet I've had the most miserable song going round my head all day; for some reason it feels like a cheerful song to me, right now. Here, let me share a choice snippet with you: - "I'm waiting for the man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington, one-two-five, Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive I'm waiting for the man" - The Velvet Underground
