May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Today during uni study, I was asked to write a short piece of creative writing. The only stipulation was that incorporated the line ‘Wait for me at the olive oil’, a line from a verse by Menander. It could be no longer than 150 words. This is what I wrote. The day was very bright…
Today, much like every other day, I should be studying. But today I feel a particular sense of melancholy and foreboding. I *should* feel on a high, because last night Simple Minds actually, FINALLY, debuted on ‘Later…with Jools Holland.’ They were incredible. Vision Thing sounded AMAZING. I actually shouted out when they finished “THAT’S THE…
There is a Q and A with Jim that it’s appeared on The Guardian website today. A good set of questions that takes him away from having to give all the usual stock answers. I love these kinds of things as they actually do provide a different perspective, and as an ardent and dedicated fan…

Well, no… This person seems adamant that their opinion is the correct and ONLY valid one. I thought, well…let’s agree to disagree. Nope! Seemingly the song is just BAAAAD!

Well, it was a great year in music… ‘72. I wanted it to be something that took away some of the sting from missing the Tao gig, but it’s just added to it. I was ssooo proud if this piece. But there we go. “Pride comes before a fall” – that’s what they say, right?…
AT LAST! My assignment is in! Two assignments to go for this module. One is a reflective assignment based on our own self-assessment. The final assignment may just see me tackling philosophy yet again…I KNOW! Who’d have thought I’d be ‘doing’ philosophy (as they say) and enjoying it in this module?! I’m going to allow…
I’ve had a breakthrough today. A ‘Eureka’ moment, so I’m thinking about this (pic below) right now….just for now. I’ll have to erase it from my mind shortly and get on with the task at hand. I feel ssoooo driven today now. And soooo capable! I can actually feel it. Almost a CONFIDENCE that I…
