Help me decide what to do for the evening.

19:08 / 08.04.04

I could watch either Donnie Darko or The Hulk on DVD, but Mrs Sax also wants to watch them and she's out.

I could read Haruki Murakami's The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, which I'm about 150 pages into and really enjoying.

I could write some of the novel. I'm at a really good bit and have loads of stuff to download from my brain.

I could continue cataloguing my comic collection, recently acquired from my parents' house which I'm possibly selling, but that seems just too geeky.

I could watch some TV, but at the moment there's a lot of people wailing and possibly being shot at, and I'm just not in the mood. Having said that, neither are they, probably, but hey. Even Bob Geldof has a night off.

I could have a wank. I'm feeling a bit saucy, but the cats are in the room and it just wouldn't feel right. And I can't be bothered to go upstairs, because that would seem too... premeditated.

So, anyone any ideas? Any preferences from the list above? I'm nipping outside for a fag, now, so you've got a few minutes.

drink

19:16 / 08.04.04

Well, I'm doing that anyway, and to be honest all of the above I can do with a glass in my hand.

Perhaps I should go Luke Reinhart and dig the dice out.

19:22 / 08.04.04

Write the novel. You can do any of the others after you’ve written something good. And only then.

19:28 / 08.04.04

That's fair. I have, however, found some football on Channel Five. It's only Newcastle and PSV Eindhoven, though, and seems a trifle dull.

19:33 / 08.04.04

Write. Because there's never time to write when you really want to.

19:38 / 08.04.04

Football's almost over. It is dull. Write.

19:46 / 08.04.04

Two trains and you'd be in Vauxhall, with a licentious night, you'd desperately want to forget but never could, yawning ahead of you... Some of the clubs round here don't start till, afrter 4. Lots of time! I'll think up a really good excuse for the missus. You know you want to.

We're having a Smiths marathon here before we go out.

20:36 / 08.04.04

I have a similar problem. Shall I watch a movie(Wayne`s World or Interstella 555, or mash away at my PS2( Legaia 2 or Myst III)? And, should I add some beverages to the picture?

20:41 / 08.04.04

Ah, Xoc, if only. I should think Social Services might have something to say if they get wind of the fact I'd left Sax Jr alone in bed. Although the cats are extremely intelligent, and could possibly be trained to administer a bottle of SMA.

20:53 / 08.04.04

Nah, forget it. I`m half asleep already. I might watch some nasty porn though, seeing that this thread has awaken "Willy" through methods previously unknown and possibly frowned upon by both of us.

23:59 / 08.04.04

Ahh, Sax... We're back from Dukes (amateur 'Strip Club' night) and 'Rude Boys' (the slightly peculiar 'scally lad' fetish thing which we somehow managed to crash, despite wearing leather trousers), and missed you muchly. Playing Charlatans in your honour, before moving onto some 'Southpaw Grammar'...

Did you do the student disco/stripey tights/lonely wank thing? Again?

00:21 / 09.04.04

i know it's not tonight anymore, but write, dammit. write write write. you should ALWAYS write.

m.

07:22 / 09.04.04

I did, thanks everyone. 1,500 words, a couple of chapters of Murakami, some old CDs I hadn't played for a while and even managed to keep my tripe in my trousers. Result.

08:29 / 09.04.04

Well you might have considered spending the evening of Holy Thursday meditating on the sacrifice of Our Lord.

Heathen.

If I were you, I'd just take the short cut and vomit all over the curtains.

Or invade Poland.

15:39 / 09.04.04

I feel like such a hedonist time waster now. Good for you, Sax K Rowling. Now, shall I write my best seller tonight myself, or just get tanked again and fondle the genitals of strangers again?

maybe you should do something out of the ordinary... try to consider everything you ever wanted to do but never had enough nerve or concentration...

or you could sit about and read http://www.yellowtrenchcoat.com for the rest of the night.

or you could do just scare away the cats
