That is a sweet block of time, Minty. What are you planning to do with all that time?
Meanwhile, I've been reading 'True History of the Kelly Gang' by Peter Carey. I keep getting 'The Night Pat Murphy Died' running through my head whenever I read this book; which makes no sense considering the Kelly in that song hailed from the Maritimes and not Australia. Granted, they're both Irish but one's a necrophiliac party animal while the other's a legendary criminal.
Probably because the line 'Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street' comes up in the song. Pretty close, eh? Anyway, that's what I'm reading right now. Oh, and I heard 'The Ballroom Blitz' this afternoon while driving home. Great song but I always start coming up with questions relating to the topic. You can find the questions in my blog if you're interested. Unless you really want me to repeat them here.
Good evening.
