  The inevitable comedown (probably passing)
Dave suggested I should rename this "Simon's Sex Blog". Tempting as that is, I think I'll pass for now....

This week's been a bit harder, my mood's been quite down for the last few days. Possibly a comedown from Friday, and possibly the weather (it's cold and rainy and it is the middle of winter, so I'm dealing with short daylight hours. I'm finding getting out of bed a real strain. Once I force myself into the day I'm OK though. Which I guess is a success of sorts - that I'm actually able to force myself to get up - a few months ago I'd probably have just stayed in bed.

Things that cheer me up this week, having lunch with Kaaryn, hugs from Helen, my Jim White and Wilco CDs arriving, finally moving into the 21st Century and getting broadband (wireless, via Woosh - been having a few problems (it doesn't seem to play well with all the software I use, and the signal isn't the strongest here, hardly their fault seeing as I'm right up against a hill), but overall it's great. I like not having to log off the 'net in order to use the phone.

Listening to Mr J White at the moment. Interesting album - very downbeat - kinda like The Wrong Kind of Love or Book of Angels, no full-blast country stompers like God Was Drunk When He Made Me or Ten Miles To Go On A Nine Mile Road. And a bonus track! I've just realised I've been playing the album in reverse (burned it straight to iTunes, I don't even use my stereo anymore). Interesting - it seems to be getting better as I go - looks like a weak Side Two. (Side Two! I am showing my age).

Good old Jim. Some nice memories of London and Jane coming through here....hey, she did say 'think of me in your Jim White moments'....oooh....first great song on the album - Girl From Brownsville Texas - the perfect mix of religion, lost love and the dusty south.
