Oh god, I feel ill...

WHY do I never remember that I HATE Dominos pizza? Why do I never remember that the greasy powdery blandness of it added to the what seem like joke prices make me very angry and sick?... It would have made more sense to just eat the £20 note and cut out the middle man.

Just been watching Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra. Saw someone I knew in the orchestra, which was nice. I say "knew", I mean he came to my uni with his own symphonia, I moved his chair as p… Continue

I took the videos of me singing down from youtube. They're not my best work. I'll redo them when I can get hold of a camera. I'll probably end up taking those ones down as well. Nothing satisfies me right now. Not even "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. I find it turgid at best.
