WTF . . .

is Ryan Adams playing at? Check out his myspace, where you can listen to four strange rock tunes by one of his alter-egos, 'Sleazy Handshake'. I repeat - WTF?

I don't agree with Robert McKee's outlook on the film industry and the business of writing, but when it comes to self-editing he's both astute and pithy: "No one has to see your failures unless you add vanity to folly and exhibit them."

Indeed.

In other news I managed to fix the "broken" central heating with ease late last night, thus feeling like a complete fool for spending the day wasting electricity on energy-consuming heaters and boiling the kettle repeatedly in order to perform ablutions of some nature.

Water pressure - that's all it was. Let more water in = higher pressure = boiler works.

Idiot.
