it's the bygone era
maybe it's getting good sleep, or finally finishing "night and day"* yesterday, or my strange but arguably snazzy outfit, but i actually feel somewhat fresh and motivated today, dreaming up visions of the future casino band and so on. when i have a complete set's worth of material totally done i think i might put an ad in the flagpole. "keyboardist seeks keyboardists, drummer, for new band. sounds like paul mccartney, pixies, kraftwerk. songs already written. no profit involved. must be attractive women aged 19-25. less than three years' exp. a must." it could be big big big.

* "Night and Day" is Virginia Woolf's second novel. I found myself more or less agreeing with the conventional wisdom (and, if I'm not mistaken, Woolf's own opinion): it's a step back from "The Voyage Out," and overlong and occasionally repetitive. (How many times can she use variations on the verb "to exalt"?) BUT - it does have a certain political/social consciousness, more clearly elaborated than TVO's preoccupation with the "unfinished" woman, and it is elevated above being a minor genre piece (it's a "romantic misunderstandings" type of novel...many conversations in drawing rooms) by possessing a fair share of refreshing insight into personality and character.
