Bah.

Another long and tiring day working on the competition. This time all three of us (G, U and I) were in the office together, and as last time we were all present for more than a few hours I had to retreat behind my headphones to escape the bitching and nagging and petty scoring of points. (On both sides, be it noted.) Bah. Life's just too short for this crap.

The competition approaches fruition by a circuitous and stony path. I am dismayed to say that we have returned to the previous long, thin form! Inconceivable. I have quite given up having an opinion on this project, I shall just keep my eyes down and my nose clean and do the damned drawings. Bah.

Today's Friday Favourite is going to be a challenge, shall we say, to some of you. Try not to judge or interpret it, just let the music wash over you—and then judge how you feel once it's over. [Updated for clarity: it's neither loud nor brash nor full of rude words nor discordant; on the contrary, the music is very smooth and lovely, to the point where fans of loud & brash will start twitching from withdrawal.]

Shabbat shalom. Enjoy the weekend, my dears.

Nine down, twenty-one to go.
