yes(i'm writing, and what i usually do when writing is put songs/albums/playlists on repeat, and so the music comes in and out of consciousness but at the same time creates this steady non-disruptive rhythm/tone)

are you gonna play hooky from work to go to the Weds. thing?
― sarahel, Thursday, 24 March 2011 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm guest lecturing Zeena's class on tuesday, so two days of hooky (& three consecutive days of Mills) is probably pushing it. Maybe, though.

having seen them play 'The Backyard' for about 9 years now, including once sitting right next to Ashley, it's been amazing to see Martin begin by interpreting very much in his own voice (with his own occasionally more snarky tone bringing an edge to the more ironic lines) and very gradually move closer and closer and closer to purely inhabiting Ashley's original persona.
