Days 7-12
of fuck you. Apparently I can’t even stick to self-imposed tumblr deadlines, so any career in “journalism” is probably off the list for now. Also I wanted to see if anyone would think I was dead. They didn’t. Nobody cared. Tumblr silence was mainly due to the fact that I decided drinking heavily would be a good way to break up the monotony of 22 consecutive shifts. So...

Day 6
of the thing I committed to do which is proving to be as insipid and pointless as the job that inspired it. I haven’t actually discussed what I do for money every day. I’m not going to, that was just an observation. It was boring. I spent the whole day looking at events and things which I can in no way afford to attend, a special kind of self-torture for the aspirational/doomed. I...

Day 5
of yada yada yada. The seating plan, controlled (like all things in the call centre) by a “dispassionate” machine which by all accounts has developed not only sentience but a bizarre and malicious vendetta against me, had me sitting in a totally unpopulated area, isolated, as some kind of punishment for actually turning up and doing my job. As a result, I read Cracked articles all...

Day 4
of who even cares. Overslept, rebate cheque didn’t clear, long-suffering friend and flatmate bailed me out, kept me in cigarettes and pizza. Finished season three of The Wire, left me with similar feeling of moral ambivalence to previous two seasons. I like how it’s never moralistic. Show, don’t tell. Etc. Now going to bang a couple of sleeping pills and read until I fall into...

Day 3
of that thing. Slept surprisingly well and at the Normal Time for a human, and as a result I feel quite chipper. The provisional plan to stop smoking as of tomorrow will probably be postponed, due to, How Awesome Is Smoking. Hell, I’m smoking right now. Day 3 triggers a realisation that not only does no one give a shit about my soul-negating work schedule, but that I don’t even give...

Day 2
of the most banal etc. etc. Too exhausted to type. I have the sleeping pattern of a 16-year-old stoner and diet of same. Noteworthy items: I was 40 minutes late and no one said a thing. Am about to: Smoke peach-flavoured sheesha and read Infinite Jest, like that’s going to provide any kind of comfort. Peace

Day 1
of the most banal journal of all time: The Chronicles of Why Did I Sign Up For Twenty-Two Consecutive Shifts Without Even One Day Off. Get ready to not give a shit as I record my inevitable descent into despair/insanity/hallucinatory levels of sleep deprivation/a combination of these. Day 1 was ok. I felt reasonably lucid considering my slight hangover, and managed to maintain amiable relations...

Genuine request for music suggestions
because I’m bored and I just nailed my Philosophy exam in the ASS and it’s a really sunny day and I want to listen to things along the lines of Fleet Foxes / Tame Impala / Caribou, basically anything sunny/druggy/psychey and ALL NEW MUSIC IS SHIT. Anyway, any suggestions?

Deleted scene from Six Feet Under (Season 3)
OLIVIER: You will never be great artists until you become bisexual anarchist sex-addicts! CLAIRE: Oh my God there’s Billy. I think I maybe still want to fuck him. [Looks coquetteish and doe-eyed.] My boyfriend is so greasy and lame and untalented, I wonder when he will be written out of the series.   BILLY looks like he has the potential to do something crazy, is glaring at BRENDA in a way...
