It just occurred to me that the (former) category ‘quotidien’ is really just a non-depressed version of the (former) ‘mental piss-take’ category. That’s really good, right?
It’s too bad an online pal of mine is having the opposite experience (hi Ash…), but one thing we do still have in common: where are my real-life pals? I know they’re around, and it’s great not to feel sad about me not getting to spend time with them, or talk to them etc. but my personal e-mail account is really quiet of late. It’s weird.
It’s nice to be able to look at it from a more objective perspective: when unwell, it feels like they’ve ‘engineered’ it so that they can’t see you. Some people actually do (and I mentioned this last post) but most don’t.
Is it work? A whole bunch of work people have e-mailed me to ask if I’m going to end up reviewing their audio release or book etc. and I assume that anything I receive gratis is to be reviewed unless I cark it. I’m a bit worried as one place wants me to get a review out in a very short space of time (having only just received the titles last week) when I have about five or so others going and the material came with time to actually read the titles from cover to cover. Perhaps the PR department are looking for cursory reviews rather than my wafflesque ones. I can do that - I won’t like it but it’s not about me, is it? It’s not like it’s a review for the New Yorker, or something.
Finally, I got around to changing my blog theme. Yea! I did two thirds of what needed to be done (the easy stuff, haha) and my admin sorted out the cohones. I love it, it’s so clean and minimalist - the focus is on the content, not flashy MySpacesque graphics, ugh. Groan, now if only I could fix a whole bunch of other tech-related things. My miniblog feed has gone wonky - again! Damn you, wonky MB feed.
