So, Ken wanted to know where everyone was and so I thought I'd drop you all a quick line for the first time in, like, ever. It's a bit scary now I'm writing, but it was my New Year Resolution in about 2003, so I've got to carry on now. It's amazing what I'll go to to avoid working. I'm meant to be marking a set of essays on 'Jaws' but the problem is they are so rubbish. They are totally ruining the film for me. The whole point of teaching it in the first place was I wanted to enjoy myself. I didn't think about this Bad Part of the whole thing. I might have to resort to Smarties Marking (where you put all the essays on the floor and tip a tube of Smarties over them - the reds get an A, the yellows a B and so on. THe oranges are always the lowest because I don't like orange Smarties). I have a great job. I've just finished reading a good book, a fast one for Archel, perhaps: 'The Whole business of Kiffo and the Bull-Dog' by Barry Jonsberg. I feel I should include some content but surely it's enough I'm posting? I'm listening to the new Mercury Rev CD and it's rather good. I love the way new albums grow on you (well, me). I listen to them in the background and slowly, but surely certain bits grab you and stop you and you just have to listen to them. My mum's just got a new car with a CD player (woo!) and she asked me to make her a B&S CD. That's really sweet of her, but I sort of don't want to. She'll want to talk about the tracks and all that. Am I a Bad Daughter? I might just copy her the rather fab CD Marisa made me. M, would you mind? Right, well done if you've got this far. Doubt I would have. love, L x ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
