woke up today knowing that i hadn't had enough sleep... pretty stupid it made me... i'm no good without enough sleep...
which is of course not strictly true... i went to work and did my last hour and a half's teaching of 2005, i was a tiny bit crabby before the lesson started but i was still a good teacher... lovely lesson teaching my two (meant to be eight, shame at their behaviour at the christmas party may have been one of several reasons not to show today), teaching about 7th chords (including 6th's and major 7ths's) with the aid of my funny valentine...
then after work i ate with nippy and M, nippy who i love dearly more than ever right now... got on the kids bike that the bike shop have leant me and cycled to the river... someone has put up a big snow slide outside the tate modern, £3 for two go's... i'm so taking G there real soon, and grace if i can... in fact any and everyone i can think of... of course it might not be as much fun as it looks... but i bet it is...
filmed a little from my spot on the jetty by gabriel's wharf - footage for the new set of films that i began once i'd started editing these tree ones - once i could see how i could put things together...
then i drifted into town as i so often do.. really wanted to see king kong that came out today but reluctant to pay the £11 that leicester square wanted for the pleasure... chose instead to see bombon (el perro) for £1 at the prince charles cinema...
beautiful film, very funny... that dog is a comic genius... short on sleep as i was i put up no resistance to the tears that inevitably came, twice... i like being short on sleep for that, i love crying in cinema's, well...
i love crying in cinema's when i don't feel manipulated by the film, which generally means i love crying at non-hollywood films... (let's be clear after all)
then i cycled home in the darkening late afternoon...
i've just got back from jai krishna's south indian vegetarian restaurant which was fantastic... i have a slight cold and their food is so what i want to get over it... i started digging my teeth into monsieur which i started yesterday (or the day before) but hadn't got into the swing of before jai's, more characters to live in my head along with the cast of lost... this avignon quartet is five novels long... i still feel a little daunted by it... but i'm in it now...
and me & irish G watched magnificent 7 which she video'd the other day, helena bonham carter as the mother of four boys all at different points on the autism spectrum and three girls, very good, made me cry again, a little chessy and simplistic in places but good telly...
not as good as ghost squad though... have i mentioned how great that is? anyway i'm going on with myself and i can hear G getting in...

hello hello! wanted to watch that magnificent seven and completely managed to miss it. Read a really interesting article about it the other day tho, saying they'd left out the fact that the mother got a first class degree between babies, and has written books on autism, and is on her way to a phd ... what a woman! hope you're well, sounds like you're having a good month
