Damn, damn, damn

I need to leave in five minutes. I had so much I wanted to say. I wanted to start by saying how easy it would be sometimes to react badly when being bated and just say 'Well, fuck you guys, I'm going home' when someone mentions the falling-in-the-pond incident for the fifth time that evening. I wanted o say how furious I was to take a bus N77 to Tolworth Broadway (out beyond Surbiton somewhere) when the normal 77 goes to Tooting Broadway, and sometimes it's hard to make out the difference in the dark. I wanted to say how nice everyone has been about my recordings (thanks everyone). I wanted to wind Michelle up by saying I'm off to see Calexico again. (Still, she's holidaying in Vietnam, so it's one each in my book). I wanted to say never, never develop a romantic interest in someone you work with, no matter how shallow or fleeting. It's a permanent headache for 40 hours a week, much as it may seem otherwise when it works. I wanted to say how delighted I was with the ne Gotan Project album, and how much I'm looking forward to seeing, and perhaps meeting, Beatallica. I wanted to say how much I liked Humphrey Lyttelton's performance last Tuesday in the Bull's Head in Barnes. I wanted to cram a month worth of information into one short post.

Oh, I did.
