Christ has it really been that long?

Really sorry I've been really sucky with my updates as of late. What can I say? I suck.

Right.  Friday night met Anna in stockton and went to see this thing I can't remember the name of behind the stockton library.  It had guys with buckets of water, nudity, fire, a guy in stilts and bright blinding lights.  It was confusing profound.  It was good, but I admit not understanding it.  Anna and I chatted with her neighbour Jean for a while afterwards.

After that we went to Percy the stabbage and sherrif and threatening and so on events of that night have been documented elsewhere in perfectly eloquent language so I shall not reiterate them here.
Afterwards, we went home.

I Awoke the following day next to a beautiful angel who brought me a coffee.  We got up eventually and wandered into Stockton and looked at more of the riverside festival m'thing.  Not that there was much going on.  
Anna's been stressing a lot about uni work so she had to go buy chocolate and a skirt then got the bus home.

So there I was, left in Stockton on my bill.  I wandered around and had a look.  There's this maze thing that is mainly distinguised by having get lost written on the side and a queue that goes on for days.
I half-heartedly saw a few things on the town hall stage - which I dislike because it disconnects everything from everything.  I preferred the circles of people around seemingly ad-hoc arty stuff of previous years.
I also saw this thing called Caravan of desires which had these 2 people and a caravan, but the caravan lifted itself up into the air and opened up and had this surreal boudoir thing inside.  It was odd-good.  While I was waiting for it to start this kid collapsed cause she'd been drinking & god knows what else and passed out; the first aiders and security people looked after her till an ambulance got there.  Silly girl.

After that I started to feel a bit ill and went home and sat at my pc being antisocial for a while before falling asleep there and waking up about 3:15 this morning in a cold sweat feeling really grotty.  So I went to bed.

Thankfully when i woke up the second time at 10:15 I was feeling a fair bit better.  Didn't get up to much today really.  Ended up wandering into town for a bit and seeing these reasonable acrobat people and not queuing for the maze again.  Wandered towards the fringe but the music annoyed me from a distance, and I needed to get to work anyway so I didn't bother with it.

Saw the festival finale after work on Sunday eve. Well, the bits that weren't cancelled (I was looking forward to this tightrope walking dude). Motorcyclist on a high wire and people dangling from massive sticks though, which was cool.

And now it's the week; things are all back to normal. I decided I'd do you a comic. Hope you like.
