Masquerade

Last night was really quiet. I watched a couple more episodes of The Wire on DVD. It's kind of strange in a way that even though I have seen every episode of that show when it was on over the spring and summer I've still been really enjoying the DVDs, more so, perhaps, than I did when I first saw them. It's a very complex and involved show and it is very confusing until you really get into it. When you watch it again it's easier to get all the references and links to earlier and later episodes. The Wire has been described as a novel for television and it really is, with every episode being another chapter in the ongoing story. Later on I was watching a documentary called The Man Behind the Masquerade which was about the English artist Kit Williams who published an illustrated children's book in 1979 called Masquerade, which contained cryptic clues in it's illustrations which revealed the location of a jewelled golden hare which Williams had buried. The book was a huge sensation, but Williams eventually got sick of all the attention and retired from public view to work on his art in peace.

I was in work today and it was pretty busy so there was plenty to do. It's really hard for me to believe that I've been there for seven and a half years now. I got home at quarter to six.

My life is not wildly exciting.
