This time of year is always super weird because it gets so immediately dark while still being kind of warm. It's barely gone half past five!
Anyway, I'm sat in Hyde Park by myself reading, killing time before a date.

Recently finished Katabasis by R. F. Kuang and it is... okay. A bit disappointing compared to Babel and the whole "Academia is hell" concept seems to manifest mostly as the main character walking around empty plains observing things and sometimes thinking about uni.
Maybe just read Dante's Inferno?

I recently read both Strange Pictures and Strange Houses by Uketsu - the former is really enthralling with good twists, the latter is just kind of bad.
Give the first a go for an interesting idea executed well! You could get through it in a day or two! A nice breezy bit of horror.

My latest read is Norwegian Wood by Murakami - yes, I'm apparently entering that phase of my life. It is a line I walk carefully before becoming the worst type of man.
It was an interesting read, very quick, at times haunting with the suddeness of it all, but then, sometimes life is sudden.

It's my birthday today!
I turn 32, even though I think I've been saying I'm that for about 8 months already...
I'll be spending it travelling back from a surfing holiday in Ireland with my friends where we also played loads of board games!
Good times.

Another evening of live music!
This time it was seeing Hobo Johnson at Scala. A good time to be had, and one of the opening acts, Really Big Really Clever, is now also on my to watch list.

Just finished This Is How You Lose The Time War by @amalelmohtar.com & @maxgladstone.bsky.social and it was fantastic! An incredibly unique book with a fun spy vs spy idea that establishes two characters very well!

A recent read of mine was this collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison. I skipped the foreword, for obvious reasons, but there were some really interesting things in here - one even made me cry on the tube!
Different style of writing than I'm used to, but it made my brain fizz.

Another great night of music seeing Wet Leg and Mary in the Junkyard. Excited to have seen Mary in the Junkyard again, they're probably my favourite up and coming band.

I recently went to the Hiroshige exhibit that just opened up at The British Museum and it was so good! Bought a print and a very fancy art book. My cat son would prefer me to pay attention to him, rather than delicious art.

A year and a half ago I went on ONE date with a girl and it didn't work out. She then sent a ceaseless tirade but eventually faded into the fog. Anyway, out of nowhere she's just poster a wild comment on my video.
She's found me again!

I was meant to spend my morning editing, before heading out for a day of boozing, instead I "accidentally" spent it having a dance with my cat, Jeremy Clawbyn.
My arms have been gnawed.

Went to go see @peachpit17.bsky.social live and it was great! Such an emotional band to see live as the songs are great, the solos are intense!
Also got to see Briston Maroney live as well, which was incredible! His new songs hit hard!
(Terrible photo attached)

I was meant to spend all of today sending chapters to literary agents today, but my notebook is in the other room and well, my assistant is not cooperating.

Went for a cheeky boulder ar City Bloc to get over my travel woes, as I really am only one note.
The walls here are super high, it's gross. Here's video of a climb I did at the start of my session, this video is me trying to repeat it at the end, exhausted... much less graceful than the start.

And another bouldering! Climbing is great, I'm not good at it though!

I had a couple of days off, and you would think I'd use that to finally crack on with video editing or even sending my work out to literary agents.
No. Full procrastination with bouldering. Here are some videos of some climbs.
I am mediocre at best.

How's my dating life going? Well, let's just say that the only women wanting to talk to me are the push notifications from Duolingo.

So, I think I might finally having some form of finalised manuscript for the book I've been writing.
127k words of hopefully good enough prose! Now I just need to start the even longer process of finding someone who likes this enough to believe in me.
An impossibly long road to published.
