What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

LIFELINES

Going to bed way too late and getting up way too early. Without going into too much detail just yet (I know, I know, I shouldn't be coy), this has been one of the worst weeks ever. On a professional level, a personal level -- hell, even weather-wise -- these last few days have been horrible on me.

It's times like these when you have to focus on what's keeping you happy or, at the very least, sane. This week, I've had three: first, the gorgeously sad new album "Bare" from Annie Lennox with a song, "Pavement Cracks," that has utterly captured how I feel right now; second, a good cry over the startling and brilliant final episode this year of "Six Feet Under," the best damn show on television; and third -- and most important -- a wonderful and lengthy e-mail from my friend Tara in Hamilton explaining exactly why she loves me. I was embarrassed to read parts of it but, given that everything's gone wrong this week, I was also thrilled with her timing. Thanks for tossing me a lifeline, Tara, I love you as always.
