There is just way too much prime babeflesh jauncing around. All thin and bony, hence, not quite what I&#8217;m after, since flesh is what I dig, not the marrow. But heck, it&#8217;s good to sit here on a weekday morning feasting the eyes. Cos hey, even if I&#8217;m nowhere near bedding any of these babes, watching is lovely.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not at work cos I know tonight&#8217;s crunch night. I&#8217;ve got to sign off the majority of this week&#8217;s episodes tonight, and it&#8217;s going to be a late one. It&#8217;s Steve&#8217;s last week, and he&#8217;s got a crushing load of programs to edit. I can only go in at lunchtime, once he&#8217;s finished, cos I need to use his edit suite to do my viewing, seeing as I do quite a bit of re-editing to get the stuff into the shape I want it in.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m sitting here reading the last few pages of Rushdie&#8217;s THE GROUND BENEATH HER FEET. A superb book. Highly recommended, though nowhere near the absolute miracle which is MIDNIGHT&#8217;S CHILDREN (one of my top three books, along with Nicholas Moseley&#8217;s HOPEFUL MONSTERS, A.S. Bayatt&#8217;s POSSESSION, and John Irving&#8217;s THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP and HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE. Okay. That&#8217;s five on my top three list. But who&#8217;s counting?).<\/p>\n<p>However,       I can&#8217;t concentrate. I&#8217;m still burning up over Jacqui&#8217;s unbelievable       gutshot of an email.<\/p>\n<p>I send her an sms. &#8220;Please send me the email       you promised to send me ages ago in which you list my good points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She       messages me back that she&#8217;ll do it tonight. Great. I&#8217;ll be waiting.       <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
