Thursday 2nd November
Didn't get into university until after 8.30. Printed off all my emails associated with the course and put them in a nice ring binder. It made me feel efficient.

I Started work on another Ply bullet that I had left overnight to bond. Had an argument with Hammam about how his year group behave.

I got an email from Hong Kong, short and not so sweat. I would rather correspond occasionally and let her know I am getting on with my life. I have neither the time nor the energy. She has made it clear that I do not offer her a secure enough option to leave her current situation. The worst thing is, she is right. She has been very good to me in other ways. Tried to educate me, by buying books by Foucault, Baudrillard McLuhlen and Siad, taken me places and told me things. She would come and go as she pleased 4 months here, three weeks there, a month in Thailand, 2 months in Vietnam, a couple of weeks in Scotland a cumulative year in England and few days in Wales. Not enough to be real. Once the PHD was completed the chances of us spending much more time together were always slim. I will not phone her until Christmas.

I decided to look for a venue in the afternoon and scoured the run down buildings around the city centre. I am interested in run down buildings because they would provide a better context for my work than a white cube space.

Home - Work - round to the lads to watch the footy and a couple of beers. Dropped Jake home after giving him his Star Wars Transformer for his birthday and he gave me some money for another friend. By the way Jake is 33 and a great friend. Jake collects still boxed Star Wars figures he now has a full set of the original figures in the original unopened boxes. What ever gets you through the day?
