Oooh you're a naughty mess

listening edgard varese, arcana/ on visiting my drinking partner and local raging alcoholic v- he informed me he'd given up drinking tho' by the time i left he'd revised his position to 'a few days off'/ ha!/ will he last hours 24 is the question?/ i sincerely hope so/ little else to report/ got an appointment for another similar job demain, one closer and better paid so, if i get it, i'll turn down t'other/ it's funny hearing about my peers, all of whom are in highly paid or highly responsible jobs/ i simply have not the ambition/ as long as i can pay my rent, buy records and booze and have the leisure to read and listen to music i'm content/ and that's not a complacent attitude/ i simply gain far more from my lifestyle than say, working in derivatives or for the treasury/ i think some of them find it a little strange since i was the only one to get a first but i'm much happier now than when i was in pursuit of a doctorate/ in that instance i found the satisfaction somewhat deferred/ that plus it was the first time in my life i'd not been able to breeze through/ i'm a lazy sod/
