20th February 2:05am

Got a call from Tom. He seemed in good spirits. He’s not too keen on Jodie’s suggestion: “you wouldn’t do that if you were telling a mate about it”. After I read it to him he told me to re-write it as if I was telling it to Phoneboy. Ironically I have told these stories to Phoneboy before, they all went down well. “Don’t worry too much about it being funny, just try and make it more conversational” … I didn’t ask if that was because it already was funny. I’m trying to master this think positive lark. Next thing I plan to do is get cracking on recording some stuff onto MD so I can memorise it. I’m going to try this auto-suggestion thing. It sounds good, only I’m a bit late on the timing, he reckons it takes around two months or so.

Watched a Woody Allen film with Jodie and drank a bottle and a half of wine. Can’t sleep. Don’t feel drunk either. I think I might go without drink soon for a month or so. It’s not much fun really.

Going to do some more work on the set. Tom was quite positive on the phone.

Perhaps I am a bit drun.
