Up and Down I Go
It’s been a strange week or two.
For no readily identifiable reason, I seem to have spent the time fluctuating between a crushing sort of generalised almost-depression and an unexpected, sudden and rather frantic obsession with the work of the Irish actress Dervla Kirwan. These two behavioural poles have expressed themselves in (a) an unwillingness to speak to anyone about anything and an overwhelming desired to be left by myself and (b) the purchase of two movies on ebay, ordering of the first three series DVDs of Ballykissangel and watching the entirety of the 90s time-travel romcom, Goodnight Sweetheart.
In an effort to gee myself up I’ve dumped all the Jandek cds which I’ve been playing incessantly in the car recently. Maybe that’ll help…

Thanks for the comment.
You probably already know but if you don't, there's a new book on "Survivors" from Telos publishing.
Busy time for "Who" as well with CiN tonight, the box set on Mon, and the anniversary on Wed!
hope you saw "the greatest store in the world" this morning
I actually bought it on video from ebay a few weeks ago - it's a bit of a strange film, really, but the kids loved it, and Dervla is excellent as ever.
