I had a nice Saturday evening. Yesterday, I read a chapter of Jack Kerouac's biography very carefully. It freshened up my recollection that the Kerouac estate removed offensive (offensive to me, not talking about joe bloggs) statements that he made from public view. It was a fashioning of Kerouac to get the hippy and indie types to recognise a soulmate and romantic hero. In any case, anything has another side, and the other side of a coin is often dark and doesn't shimmer with a high currency value, the public side. Still awesome though, just takes your mind into overdrive to think there were massively horrible things that someone fascinating used to do. Who cares, Keouac's gone. Let's hit the next big thing.
Well that said, I have to write a white paper at work by Friday this week to do with agents and the semantic web for an incubated proposition. The language is not academic, far from it. My dad celebrates his 50th birthday tonight! I plan to visit an old French friend (the one I write with a fountain pen) at a house he's staying at owned by a journalist in Notting Hill. I watched Overboard, again, classic!. Nice flurries of snow in London lately. From the 6th to the 18th, I'm on vacation in East Africa, a wedding.
