Ugh - spring reared its ugly head today, which to most people I suppose is actually a beautifully sculpted goddess. Not so for me. Spring means only one thing - the dreaded collywobbles. Goodbye, dreary virus-laden winter, hello panic attacks and neurotic madness! Huzzah!

Currently watching: Season 2 of ‘Black Books‘ on DVD - very good indeed Brit/Irish sitcom of the early 2000’s set in…er….a book shop.

Currently playing: Rudimentary Peni’s ‘Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric‘ - bizarre album by a bizarre band. Allegedly recorded shortly after the vocalist had been incarcerated in a mental institution at her Majesty’s pleasure. Perfect soundtrack for the collywobbles! Sample song titles: “Muse Sick (Sic)“, “Regicide Chaz III“, “Pogo Pope.” Sheer madness!

Currently reading: Thomas Pynchon’s latest monster “Against the Day“. Thoroughly enjoying it, and nearly at the end of its 1100 pages. Only criticism - it’s bloody hard to hold up such a large hardback while reading in bed. (Note to self - wait for the paperback next time).

And so off to Kanazawa on Monday, hoping I’m not followed there by the ‘wobbles….
