Both coven masters are on suspension at the moment.
Today is Thursday, I last went to bed on Tuesday.
Not only am i sleep deprived i am also physically tired from manual labour. I went trucking today.
Now today was not the usual cornucopia of visual eccentricities that i usually notice when out on the road, as today was a windy and rainy and freezing cold day not many people were around for me to watch and observe.
Although several things.
The truck i usually travel in is in for repairs. So me and my dad were using a guys truck who is on holiday. Now it is well known that this guy is a drunk and often drives drunk and it shows. His truck is in bits.
We were driving along and all of a sudden the truck started to whine, imagine someone dragging their teeth across a blackboard while rubbing their eyeball with a dry vinyl glove and you will have some idea of the noise.
The truck was supposed to have 12 gears, only 6 of them would engage.
While driving the truck made a loud WOOOOO noise. Just once, with no explanation or cause as far as i can see.
I was asked to wipe the mirror and as i was rolling my window back up it got stuck half way after me having just said:
dog walk, frost, zombies, blowing nose, echo, russian, black man.
I was walking my dog tonight and i brought him to the forest near where i live.
Recently they have slaughtered, gutted and butchered a field i used to walk in and built a load of big concrete and brick boxes.....sorry, i mean apartments and houses.
Well they also built a path through the forest and placed lights along said path.
now before this it was just a muck trail but that’s how i liked it, also, it wasn’t badly lit it was just dark. Darkness is not a bad thing yet now the path is lit at about 20-30 ft intervals which lets you see the path, but also makes the surrounding landscape seem more spooky, the presence of the lights makes the darkness stand out even more.
So i decided to bring the dog along this path and i brought my camera with me. I should have the film processed and developed within the next week or so. I will see if anything turned out.
While i was walking i went off the path for a little bit and i ended up finding an entrance to the new estate so i walked along.
I had been walking along for a little bit and taking photos and setting up my tripod etc when a man left one of the new buildings a little bit away from me so i froze. I didn’t want to move in case it gave away my position. I wasn’t scared of getting caught but i wanted to see if the man would see me on his own. I watched him walk 15 feet, stop, look around, walk a further 6 feet, lean against the wall and light a cigarette. I stood watching him and suddenly the shutter on my camera released. I had been in the middle of a long exposure when he came out and it ended as he was there. He didn’t hear it, he didn’t see me. He finished his cigarette and went back inside.
I was taken by the fact that i watched him for the space of about 3-4 minutes and he wasn’t aware i was there for a single second.
If i was in his position i would like to think i would have seen me.
I haven’t been to bed yet, and there is one thing you soon learn when watching TV in the early hours of the morning with nothing to do.
Modern children’s tv sucks ass.
As it is as of today xmas eve half the channels had a guy in a red suit ranging from fat and jolly to drug addicted and emaciated. But each had their own version of HO HO HO which made it easy to tell the channels apart.
One thing that stood out from my early morning surfing was a cartoon, obviously funded by some bible thumping gobshite with more money then sense. The story was the whole 3 wise men arrive with gifts deal but the story was being told from the point of view of two ants who happened to live in the manger.
And of course as it was a modern children’s show one ant was male, the other female. Not only that but one ant was a subtle tan colour the other a much darker. I mean fuck, where is the spastic, retarded, lesbian ant in a wheelchair with a lisp?
After a while i ended up watching an old Elvis movie. King Creole. I’m not a huge fan of Elvis but relatively speaking this film was Oscar worthy. A girl danced around wearing bananas, you just don’t see that in films these days.
I was walking my dog today and it was about 22:00. So once again it was pitch black and sight was all but useless. So i was walking through my usual fields and i noticed something.
I stood in the centre of the field with my eyes closed and i listened.
There is a small river that runs along the boarder to one of the fields and i could hear it. I could also hear traffic. But there was something about it that really meant something to me.
I could only hear the river if i was facing it, i would rotate in the middle of the field with my eyes closed and the sound would come and go as i turned to face it and then moved through the rotation. However no matter which direction i was facing i could hear traffic.
The symbolism was not lost on me.
Almost everyone i talk to is going off to have sex somewhere.

The last week or so i have been working on a project as well as doing my Vr duties.
This house thing is going to take alot of work and i just wont have the time to look into it deeply until after next week.
I have a deadline for wed. and its a combined project.
This one deadline is worth 40% of my Digital Imaging and my Photography practice module.
Thats 40% of each, i.e. this project is worth 80% of my marks with the two classes combined.
Just some little things that i wanted to mention about the party night last night and i didn’t want to add to the post below this.
Well several things happened that i am going to mention.
The first of these things involves how i was dressed.
Usually i am just dressed in scruffy clothes and a long sleeved t-shirt or something similar, last night i was wearing black trousers and a black shirt which i buttoned up and i was wearing shiny black shoes.
As i was walking i noticed allot of people were looking at me and i felt like a complete tool, usually i don’t mind people looking at me but when im dressed up as a yuppy/barman its just not me they are looking at. Although my duds did get me asked for directions twice, i guess i looked respectable.
One girl was looking for a street and she was on the wrong side of the river so i told her i would walk with her part of the way as i was heading in that direction as it is and then i would show her where she needed to go.
Another thing was i was waiting to cross the road and a girl on the opposite side was waiting at the lights too and she pointed at me and then started to dance. That was odd.
I also saw a dolled up girl who was speaking Russian into a walky talky. I didn’t know what kind of person would have a walky talky like that, i mean she was dressed like a hooker so she was either a high tech hooker talking to her pimp HQ or she was undercover police or something official.
As for drinks last night i was drinking pretty much anything that was set in front of me.
The girls had made a fruit punch with everything you can think of in it plus a litre of wine and vodka etc.. and i had several helpings of that.
I drank vodka, vodka and coke, vodka and red bull, whiskey, whiskey and coke, wine and some things im not so sure about. But by far the best on offer was in the form of strawberry jelly vodka stuff, i ate about 20 pieces. There was loads of vodka in them but you couldn’t taste it.
This will be a long post so give me some time before you read it.
Ok, well this xmas party was a fancy dress dealy and i decided i was going to get myself a concept costume. That is to say i wasn’t going to wear "missile-toe" or tinsel or anything.
My costume was an idea. I was going to be:
A girl in class today told me i was in her dream last night.
In her dream i was sining a U2 song and apparently i was singing quite well.
Oh well, i will not be on *tomorrow night as i am going to a party. Nicnivian knows who it is. And we are going to play Twister. Drunken! Twister.
*Friday December 9th
I have to hand up an essay tomorrow. It is going to be a long night.
