Who could ask for anything more?

Hello shitkickers, it's a Monday and I am exhausted, not sleeping right these days which sucks when you have a 7am start all week. I have a job, yes, well I'm on a trial so let's hope that I still have a job after writing this. I'm selling theatre shows to anyone that wants one, it's an entertainments agency see. I get calls from Joanna Lumley look-a-likes and magicians looking for work. Oh, I can still dream of presenting my own show on BBC6 though eh. I have a tear-out article headline on my desk: ' Secret Pioneers ' to look at on my desk everyday to keep me going, it was an article all about these influential people that pioneered things but you might not have heard of them. Delia Derbyshire for one - who I love and you must google, especially if you dig electronic music, and the founder of Warp Records was in there too which made me think I'd really like to make Sundown a record label one day. I have such big ideas and big plans.
We are applying to be a charity but it's not easy, bags of paperwork and time needed, I also have to fill in a tax return which is more paperwork, my dad is helping me make our accounts look nice and neat and easy as opposed to my MANIC BIRO ARROWS everywhere on bits of paper. Woah. A really, REALLY tall man just walked past the office. Anyway, yeah, our next Sundown is looming that we're all very excited about. The day before we're at the ' Village Green ' event, curated by the people behind Metal and held at Chalkwell House, Chalkwell Park, Essex. Sundown will be onstage 4:00-4:30pm with our Sundown poets and headline poet: Rachel Pantechnicon. 27th September for that one and it's funking FREE!! Then the next day it's Sundown at The Royal Hotel, Southend. Wahey! We just recorded a podcast which should be up on the website this week sometime. SPOILER ALERT:- THE SOUND OF RAYMOND FARTING ON AIR
Recently saw The Dark Knight - very cool, slow in parts but the mood of it, the look of it, the sound of it, is all very eerie. Heath Ledger is brilliant in it. Just rented 2nd series of 24 but it aint grabbing me like the first one did. Does anyone agree? Really want to rent The Wire as I keep reading great things about it.
Last night I almost cried at Joanna Lumley crying at the Northern Lights. I am officially 'a girl'.
Sundown now has JOSH WELLER and HEIST added to our October show.
I can't believe 2009 is quite near. It's creeping about like an old man in a mac skulking by the sausage rolls in Iceland while you're thinking "why is that man skulking by the sausage rolls? what does he want? why doesn't he just leave?" Yes. It's the same. Burn After Reading is out at the pics very soon and I cannie wait.
Sundown are making a trip to the Wivenhoe open-mic night soon to pick up some new open-mic poetry bait for our nights. We Need You. Anyway, I musn't ramble on too long. I'm always doing that.
This Wednesday I'll be performing at the Norwich Arts Centre which I'm very excited about thanks to Laura Stimson, what a top gal she is. Pop by if you're in town. We can talk about irritable bowel syndrome together and gluten-free products.

Stay strong, stay super.
