It's been a while, hasn't it. But much news!
I've recently found permanent employ, bringing a return to Edinburgh that little bit closer. I've also decided, perhaps foolishly, to take a self-portrait
every day for my 23rd year.
Oh, and I've decided to start memorising things, and to return to a pursuit from my childhood, namely prestidigitation. It's what having nieces does to one. I'm working through
Royal Road To Card Magic,
Expert Card Technique, and a variety of other sources such as the wonderful work of Peter Duffie.
As for memorisation, I decided last night to memorise the top 73 of the
100 Greatest Stand-Ups show on Channel 4. The joy here is that you can do it while you watch the show, and once it's in, it's in. Of course, such knowledge is fantastically pointless, but the exercise is good. Imagine that! A use for list shows!
