If there's one thing Scorsese has to answer for it's all the gangsters films with V/O.
What have I been doing in the last few hours? Finding out an easy way to learn languages, make the perfect fire, the most effortless way to swim and making easyish food.

It's all in one book. My body is tired, but my mind is wide awake.

Any book that quotes Carl Weathers from his role in Arrested Development is fine by me.

So what's been going on with me lately. Well someone's nicked my ipad mini before it even arrived and now I'm dealing with a gruesome twosome of the courier and apple. Whom both suck in their own special little ways.

My current job is only until the end of the year, which hopefully will give me time to write a screenplay in between jobs.

I have a new job, and I think it's time for a change. I'd been happy to leave my old job, but the whole idea of working for people is not where my life will go. I prefer the idea of doing my own thing and to magically have enough money to do it.

So I see myself having this job for a little while (half a year at most) and so I'm looking for hacks (shortcuts/tricks) into doing what I want to do in my current job. SO the first step is to buy a very small notebook.

I see myself hiding all sorts of things around the office to help me, but just a simple notebook is a worthy start.

Fortunately my commute has been cut by at least an hour a day, the time I have to get up has decreased by an hour on some days. It's strange to think that there was a point after my dissertation where I was sick of writing and had didn't want to do anything for a while. Now, I feel that writing would give me better perks than the job I've already got, because it's true.

I have benefited from my past two jobs, yet my life feels farcical.

I shall take the following six months to accumulate and eliminate what works for me and what doesn't, the final elimination being this job. I get paid by the hour to do things that don't interest me? That is not life, that is life imprisonment with pocket money. Why save for a life of future enjoyment when you can't have that enjoyment now?

The strangest thing I've noticed since I've finished university, is how much I don't care about comics anymore. I used to be obsessed, spend copious amounts of money on them. There are only a few comics that I like, but I don't really spend money on that kind of thing anymore. Funny how people change like that.
