February has been a busy month. A month of gigs which, while slowing slightly, is far from stopping. It's shaping up to be a busy year. A varied diet of music here I think: dance, pop, indie, misc. Coming up I have James, Ash, La Roux, Hairspray, Swan Lake, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip and hopefully much, much more.

A couple of things I want to talk about in the Queer space.

So, in 2009, according to my bookkeeping over at LibraryThing, I have read 60 books (let's face it, I'm not going to finish Black Man, Best Served Cold or Bolo before the New Year party tonight). Of those, 43 were fiction books, 5 were short story collections, 1 non-fiction, 1 play, 5 RPG Books (+one of the short story collections was technically an RPG source book), 2 graphic novel volumes, 1 Firefly reference book and 2 cookbooks.

So, it's nearly 2010 and the start of a new decade (face it date pedants, the calendar is so screwed up we may as well accept the mob rule on this - and besides, 2009->2010 feels more significant than 2010->2011).

Oops... bit dusty in here, mind you legs whilst I send the hoover round.

No, I'm not dead. No I haven't been ill. I've been suffering from a case of "can't-be-arsed-and-what's-the-point-anyway-itis". I'm hoping this will clear up as I work on Queer Commons (the working title for what I discussed previously). I have a site up, I need to do some work on it and write a couple of articles to start it, but I hope that I can open it up more fully on Monday. If you're interested in a sneak peak, or want to help with an article or with theming or anything else, drop me a line.

Yeah, believe it or not I am still alive. Not a lot has been happening though so this is another of those summary posts. Sorry.

I read this 14(?) years ago for school and loved it. I recently bought and re-read it and it was still able to give me shivers.

Just a number and three little words were enough to make me shiver on the train this morning - "8. You may lie". The fact that Lowry managed to build up a world enough to make that have such a high hitting line without ever mentioning the idea of lying is testament to how well this book works.

The other side of politics I've been discussing tonight (see last entry)was The Equality Bill and the Tories. A brief discussion with @lawandsexuality through the medium of Facebook comments about where the Tories would likely go with Equality.

I really shouldn't discuss politics late at night. I always end up with ideas running through my head that stop me from sleeping. Still this is what my blog is for, surely 8-).
