| 1:12 am | memememe! Choose a character of mine, and I will respond with five characters from their game that he/she would trust with his/her life, five characters that he/she would throw to the wolves if they had to, and five characters that he/she would hop into bed with for a one-night-stand (no commitment, just a one-nighter), and why. |

| 12:51 pm | I follow the crowd! :o Ask any of my characters, past, present or future, a question of your choosing and they will answer truthfully. And then possibly cry a bit about their answer afterward. |

| 1:10 pm | Tooth-ache I should be getting up and getting ready. I need to get to the hospital as quick as I can - it's just after 1pm on a Friday and I've got tooth-ache. I'm not even sure if the Dentists run on a Saturday. But I'm sitting here feeling nervous because it's very likely I have a hole in one of my teeth and someone's going to start jabbing me with needles and ripping things out. Wish I brushed my teeth more.. o_o |

| 1:00 am | LIVE ACTION AKIRA!!! Oh, my God. I'm so conflicted. Could it be good?! :O |

| 11:28 am | Late Night TV.. When you make a channel dedicated entirely to Anime - even if you only start showing it after 9pm, presumably because people who watch anime do so discretely, when everyone else as gone to bed - and you are reluctant to use subbed programmes - because the 'anime-freaks' you are already targeting are obviously illiterate as well as nocturnal - you have to allow for a generous portion of crap. We're talking a good 50% here. For some reason, all I seem to find is that 50% portion of crap. It's a choice between men who get more powerful as they get angrier - more powerful can even mean, odd as it sounds, more skillful at high-precision things - and an army apparently being waged between tweens who were given giant death machines to play with. Of course, then the adverts come on and I get to have women tell me how the they're waiting desperately for my call. And the anime doesn't seem that bad anymore. |
| 6:40 am | Alcohol; It Will Be The Death Of Me I have once again decided to give up alcohol.. Taking bets on how long it lasts. |

| 11:49 am | Writer's Block ( It was a dead-end little apartment, even he could see that. ) Fawcett grows in my mind. God love him.. cause no one else will. |

| 12:32 am | Why? Sometimes, presumably because I 'looked at it funny', Flash will fail. All those pretty shiny graphics, all those youtube videos and all their bastard children, every single game of questionable morality that New Grounds holds.. they all just go away. Sometimes because I expect youtube to pause while I go and get a cup of tea. Sometimes because I dared to pass my mouse across the pretty picture. It's like there's an angry, wheel-chair-bound paranoiac lurking around Mozilla. For the sake of coherence this man is also a tyrannosaurus rex. And he wheels around the factory floor and, every time he feels like I'm getting too close to 'the truth', occasionally jams a wrench into the machinery. Why is there an angry T-rex living in my internet browser? Why does he hate me using or, sometimes, just looking at Flash? Why?! O_O |

| 12:40 pm | Nostalgia has two 'L's, right? ( When I was a kid my brother and I used to share a bed. ) Sweet dreams, all you dreamers out there.. :D |

| 10:13 am | In Conversation.. I'm trying to get my head around the Giant; a character I'm apping for in Fairy Tales. It's a task to try and get a completely different person's mind-set though - I know next to nothing about the guy, after all - and resorted to a technique a writer-friend recommended to me. It went quite well, I like to think. He seemed to warm up to me in the end, old softy that he is.. ( Once upon a time.. ) I kinda enjoyed it.. :D Current Mood:  cheerful |

| 4:09 am | Sometimes I Try.. I tried turning everything in my house off today. No TV. No Laptop. Just me and a cup of tea and a gas fire. (Yes, gas-fire is something, but it's freezing here so shush. :P) It's kinda nice to just sit and slurp and not have to be entertained. I've already kinda decided my new home won't have an internet connection. Now I'm wondering whether it should have a television.. And that's all. :D |

| 7:54 am | There's Worse Ways To Spend My Time.. .. than posting things that make me laugh, and giving them improbably long Subject Titles. :D This is from Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett. I call it: The Troll And The Pole. It concerns an Igor trying to lead his employers, by Coach, to Lancre Palace. And the Troll guarding the road towards it. And what their meeting involved. 'Evenin',' it said. 'Dis is a bit embarrassin'. You know a pole?' 'Pole?' said Igor suspiciously. 'It are a long wooden fing-' 'Yeth? Well? What about it?' 'I'd like you to imagine, right, dat dere's a black an yellow striped one across dis road, right? Only 'cos we've only got der one, an' it's bein' used up on der Copperhead road tonight.' ... 'I could go an' get it if you like,' said the troll, shifting nervously from one huge foot to the other. 'Only it wouldn't be here till tomorrow, right? Or you could pretend it's here right now, an' then I could pretend to lift it up, and dat'd be okay, right?' 'Do it, then,' said Igor. 'Only firs' I gotta stamp somethin',' said the troll. It held up half a potato and a paint-soaked rag. 'Why?' 'Shows you've bin past me,' said the troll. 'Yeth, but we will have been parthed you,' Igor pointed out. 'I mean, everyone will know we've been parthed you becauthe we are.' 'But it'll show you done it officially,' said the troll. 'What'll happen if we jutht drive on?' said Igor. 'Er.. den I won't lift der pole,' said the troll. Locked in a metaphysical conundrum, they both looked at the patch of road where the virtual pole barred the way... Well. Made me laugh. :D |

| 6:20 am | Why Interzone Rocks 'J.K. Rowling surprised a Carnegie Hall audience with the news that her Hogwarts headmaster was gay, and once in love with his rival Grindelwald. Fans tried hard not to remember the comment by her character Rita Skeeter about Dumbldedore's duel of magic with that rival: 'After they've read my book, people may be forced to conclude that Grindelwald simply conjured a white handkerchief from the end of his wand and came quietly'. Awesome. :D |
