In high school in my economics class we had to do a project on current events. The teacher didn’t tell us a due date, just that we had to keep working on it throughout the trimester and he’d ask for it when he was good a ready.

I never did any homework until I had to. Most of it was done in bed last thing before I fell asleep… and yet I managed a 3.2 GPA or higher throughout my high school career. Go me.

Anyway, I was ill one week and missed a day of school, it turned out that was the day he asked for it. So when I got back he asked for mine and I claimed I’d left it at home – oops. So he said he wanted it the next day.

So that afternoon I got all the old newspapers out of the garage and sat down at the dining room table with PJ Harvey’s Is this Desire? and did the whole project. It was autumn turning into winter out the window.

Now, every time it gets autumn-y outside, I want to listening to Is this Desire?. The last few days have been rainy, windy and generally miserable – and frankly so have I. This illness is getting to me. I’ve tried to stay ahead of it and not let it get me down, but I think I’m losing. I just want to sleep all the time. Here’s hoping that PJ can cheer me up.
