Thursday Night

Supposed to be out on the piss later but too tired and have a load of work to do for the morning - so had to cry of.

I was so tired, stressed and wobbly by the time I got home I bought a 4 pack of mars bars and 2 scotch eggs. My hands were shaking so much I could hardly open the wrapper.

The cultural regeneration meeting was interesting. It was in the council chamber - which is lovely, and there was good quality coffee. Lots of silly rumblings about battles already lost - but potentially some progress is possible.

I'm getting really run down now - I was trying to teach students to use the gradient rendering tools in Adobe Illustrator but I'm sure I was rambling and making no coherent sense. Had a couple of other meetings and dealt with a lot of other stuff.

Very annoyed because I was offered some specialist picture research work that was right up my street - good money but I would have done it for free - had to turn it down because I have too much teaching and shitty little projects to work on. I've had a budget agreed to run a series of talks public about design in association with the Media Enterprise Center, need to start working on that straight away.

Realised today that my eyesight was worse than I thought - really need to think about getting some new glasses.

Egypt is on the brink of God Knows what - it's on live feed at the moment but it's become white noise.
