The mattress carries static; my hair hasn't fallen downwards in years

I should be completing the last bits of packing, but I'm bored of it now and have spent the day being thoroughly dedicated to tea consumption. 

Watched another programme about British music last night. There seems to be an endless pile of television simulacrum based on the British music scene. (simulacrum; I love that word, if only I could use it without having to remind myself of its definition every time it appears in a sentence. And even then I probably get it wrong.)

Each time swimming through the Pete Waterman factory music, then Simon Cowell, Malcolm/Vivienne's creation of punk, the synth-fuelled electro pop, 90's Britpop (despite the dull and repeated explanation of the rivalry, that's my favourite bit. Damon Albarn, need I say more?), and then back to Boyzone. I've probably missed out some bits. But anyway, there's alot of programmes kicking around with roughly identical scripts. Although the one last night was distinctly better, as it had the adition of interviews with Mr Albarn himself and clips from Jubilee. 

I realise it sounds as if I'm complaining about the volume of similar British music programmes on (mostly BBC channels) but since I don't seem to have ever been able to resist watching any of the said programmes ever I believe I enjoy them very much.

My mental highlighter has picked up on my continuous lack of the word 'are' in my sentences at the moment. My computer highlighter has picked up on an extensive variety of spelling mistakes. Very annoying.

Here's some pictures I drew a while ago. As the academic year progresses, I become more and more aware of how artistically incompetent I am. I have spent the year 'trying something new' constantly, whether it be with materials, technique or subject matter, because I'm not happy with any of the previous results. I then look back at a picture or two which I consider more successful (drawn at the beginning of the year) and remember that I should absolutely just stick to what I know and then maybe I have a slight chance of getting better.
