• got the second shot of the vaccine
  • it beat me up, but less than last time
  • but, i've recovered from the vaccine into having some kind of a cold? it sucks
• i bought a portable cd player
  • back in the day the big thing was 3-second anti-skip
    • this one has 40-second anti-skip!
    • it calls itself jogproof
  • i went to the charity shop and bought every CD they have that i had any connection to
    • i have a pretty weird collection of albums now
    • eminem, bloodhound gang, shania twain, elliott smith,
• i cooked abe a steak dinner on wednesday
  • it made him very happy
• i need to take a holiday
• tried to watch Luca, but it was a movie about two people getting two know each other and that was too much and i had to go cry my eyes out on the sofa
• had a nice coffee with abe on friday
• went to a charity shop and dropped off some formerly cherished belongings

• Sevenoaks seems like a nice place to live
  • it is an island, surrounded not by water but by the national trust
  • there's a station there called Bat & Ball
  • there is a train that goes from Sevenoaks/Bat&Ball through Peckham all the way to Blackfriars. it takes about an hour
  • the train has a declassified first class, and originates at sevenoaks. so you will nearly always get a little table and a place to plug in computer
  • it's quite cheap too, for somewhere well connected
• i often feel like a dog that got into the school
• i bought some superglue, on the back it says "if you need help: go to loctite.co.uk"

• on saturday evening me and Abe went out and drank beers in a park and talked for hours, then we went to a bar and he lay down on my lap
