How it is.

Productive things to do whilst unemployed:
Clean the flat
Organise bank statements
Look for jobs

Unproductive things to whilst unemployed:
Have an argument with a representative of wonga.com of the ethical implications of offering short term loans (yes, really - twitter is a terrible resource)
Watch Comedy Central all day
Sleep until noon

Guess which list I'm picking from?!

30 Days of Manics - Day 28

Day 28: Your favourite song from Journal for Plague Lovers.
I've been sitting here with this window open for....ages.  I'm listening to Radiohead at the minute as well which probably isn't helping.

JFPL is a funny album in that it seems to utterly resist being broken up - whether that's because the Manics didn't release any singles from it, or because they couldn't have released any singles from it because it is such an impenetrable whole, I don't know - which makes it hard to single out just one track.

Me and Stephen Hawking is probably the one that a) always persuades me to sing along and b) has some of the most appealing lyrics, (including "me and Stephen Hawking we laughed/we missed the sex revolution when we failed the physical" - it's gold!)
