Jottings of Little Consequence.

Somebody called me a ‘wizard-like being’ tonight. Well, she’s only known me for about eight years, so she has a long way to go yet. Nevertheless, I thought I might start signing myself:

JJ Beazley MA (Hogwarts, failed.)

Back in the real world, I did something tonight that I don’t think I’ve ever done before. When I was putting my shirt on after my shower, I observed the way I fastened the buttons. I’m sure I do it the same way as everybody else, but it’s actually quite clever and well co-ordinated. Seems we humans aren’t so dumb after all.

And I’m in thrall to the dark haired woman in Faun. There’s magic about her. It’s in the eyes. I’m sure she is, to put it simply, a beautiful witch. It’s her voice that makes the chorus of Diese kalte Nacht so powerful, and her eyes that are the main reason why I keep on watching the damn video over and over again.

Tonight’s speciality beer is Harbour IPA, from Cornwall. Cornwall is said to have the highest pagan population of any county in England, and there’s a sad story on the back of the bottle about a giant octopus. This poor creature was renowned for saving people’s lives by guiding seafarers safely into harbour, but was given to eating the local sheep, so they killed it.

I had a door shut firmly in my face today. It didn’t so much sting as produce a dull ache that gathered weight as the day progressed. Zoe and Leila came to the rescue, bless them. I think it’s time I died or something, to save everybody the trouble.

Finally, there was a woman in Ashbourne who looked like Bjork, but she was fully dressed and didn’t wail, so she probably wasn’t.
