Real Life(cast)
Hi, I'm Clem. Welcome to my real lifecast. (To clarify: it's not a lifecast that is real, it's a "cast" of real life. Boy, was that sentence inelegant enough for you? It just gets better from here!) Prepare to be bored to death by the minutiae of my life.

Approximately 67% of any train ride is spent wondering if the smears on the windows are hair grease or face grease.

The evening view from my flat makes all manner of crises that little bit easier to bear.

The dudes downstairs just started playing this; thus, I started playing it about 20 seconds later, loud. Thanks for the tip, dudes!

What a GLORIOUS night! Are we going to go sit outside and have a beer somewhere?

I will be writing into the wee-small-hours (attempting to finish all deadlines before the weekend, so I can have a long one). The prospect actually doesn’t bother me as much as you might think. Back in the olden times, when I was a promising young upstart, I used to regularly write until 2am. Perhaps this way I can reconnect with my youth. Alternatively, I might just get a stiff back and sore eyes.

Went to take a photo and this happened. In the spirit of real lifecasting, I didn’t take a second one.
