I hate waking up late. I woke up at noon today, and I hate it. I need to be at nine each morning, otherwise I feel I've wasted the day.

I was looking through my writing folder, and it turns out I wrote a song ages ago and I've forgotten about it until now. It's a bit soppy, I'm going to have to re-write it. But hey, it was a nice surprise.

I've written some more of my screenplay today. It's set in Australia during WW1, and follows the story of a young man who is sent off to war, and his fiancee back home and her goings on. I'm quite excited about it. I mean, the possibilities of it ever being sold are nil to impossible, but I can't wait for it to be completed just so I can have a sense of accomplishment.

I watched a fascinating documentary on SBS the other night. A group of people used a synchotron in Arizona to analyse a lock of Ludwig Von Beethoven's hair. I apologise if I've spelt his name incorrectly, I can't be bothered looking it up. For those of you who don't know, a Synchotron enables particles, (protons, I think, I'm not scientifically-savvy), to speed up, and somehow this allows scientists to do a whole bunch of tests. Check wikipedia for more, because that was a crappy explanation. Anyway, one of the tests these people can do is detect trace elements of things, and in Beethoven's hair, they found a substantial amount of lead. It seems that his life-long poor health and deafness was assisted by lead poisining. How fascinating.

I have many more things to write about, but they'll have to wait for a later time. Or at least, later today.
