I am feeling almost chipper. This may be merely in comparison with yesterday's state of having to lie down every two hours, but I've been up and achieving (small) things for ages now and not fallen down yet. My throat still hurts, and I'm still on ibuprofen and sudofed, but at least I'm no longer bored to death.

Soon I will be eating dinner, which I cooked without falling over. And then we'll be bringing this machine down so we can rip its guts out and set up my new(er) PC. I'll be buying a CD writer for it later, but meanwhile we got a £20 CD-Rom drive, on the grounds that it does no harm to have both. Suggestions about which bargain basement writers are better are still welcome.

Stir fry now!

I've been meaning for ages to make a compilation of songs called Candy. So, I have Ash, Elvis Costello, JAMC, The Presidents, PWEI, @Candy Says' (which version?), I don't know if I should include 'I want Candy?' or if I should stick to its use as a name.

So, has anyone got any more?

This tiny story is the one I'm supposed to be reading at the Bastard Sons of Burn Night on the 24th. I'm starting to get cold feet about performing anything of mine in public, so I'd appreciate any comments on it.

Oh, and it's living in the journal I use for my creative writing, which I am trying to resurrect, and which you're welcome to read and comment on, though it doesn't get updated very often.
