under the illusion that today was payday i booted up the olde laptop and logged into my account only to find it empty, ahhh i shrieked as i grabbed my phone to confirm it was actually pay week. once again completely out of time, pay week is next week, which means for the next few days i am going to have to survive on what i have, this will be interesting as i scout around the kitchen looking for stuff, mmm, lots of rice, lots of oats, lots of herbal teas and condiments. mmm nothing i can actually eat though unless you count eating a jar of mint sauce as a meal. okay well i can do it, i have my secret weapon, a big bag of dope.
this will get me through the weeks famine.

i have been reading a few books, the devils paintbrush a fantastic story set in paris as a disgraced general meets the infamous alister crowley. i loved reading this, well written evocative of a time long gone, and a great story.

i read the strain, a kinda hio tech vampire book, set in nyc and although it gets off to a great start i kinda got disinterested in it as it progressed although i will read the sequels.

the other book i read was a little history of the world which although explains history for children is so well researched and written adults could enjoy it as well. i did.
