put a penguin on it

good morning. today i woke up at 8 and ate porridge. it was the first time i have woken up that early for lots and the first time i have really eaten breakfast in maybe a year or something, except for when we were on holiday in france and we ate in the hotel gardens and i didnt feel sick. 

alice may connolly did 'happiness plans' for people and they were very good and she drew me a picture of a narwhal wearing 'nike dunks' and reading 'erotic narwhal fiction'. 

an american proof came today. grow up has a penguin on it now. they changed the quote on the cover to dennis cooper. a while ago i was drunk and facebookchatted dennis and was weird to him maybe. oh dear. 

also they send me a copy of the manuscript with notes on it. like they changed the word 'bonnet' to 'hood'. there were lists of things like characters names and place names and references. here is a page of them

just saw the word 'hungry horse' on that. it is a pub where they serve food on big plates. in junior school once a boy left because his parents went to open a 'hungry horse' somewhere. he told everyone they could come and get free food and no one did because he was weird.

R.I.P any sandwich you just ate

i read something on the internet about how eating breakfast makes you happier. yesterday in the bath i shampooed my hair twice and read james frey. what if after the rain there is just more rain bb. 

here is the german copy of grow up. title means 'we grow up at night'. not sure if i posted this before. feel tired.
