Diary of an up and coming sociopath

TV and comics aside (comics update coming next..) I’ve done plenty.

Went back to Leam today and did a quick rush around visiting everyone. It was something of a whirlwind visit but it’s been weeks since I was last back home. The start of August, perhaps? It’s been a surprisingly hectic and socialised time for me, where my weekends have direction and there’s no chance for respite. And when there is, I want to spend it relaxing in my room because the following week I’ve got something else coming up. Even now many a social event looms. Is a misanthrope supposed to be this active?

Such questions are easily deflected though. On Friday I declined to queue to meet Chris Claremont at Forbidden Planet, since my plan was merely to shiv him and thus save X-Men from any further bad writing, and besides, people were already lining up for that purpose. I stopped into Fopp instead of rewarded myself for getting paid by buying the arcade fire album and EP, and then came home and paid off some of my computer purchases leaving me once again financially ruined for the month. And I’m technically only getting paid today (25th of every month) so it might be another month of bread and margerine. Just kidding. I am financially stable in ways that are previously unheard of for me. At this rate by next september I’ll have a mortgage and cocaine problem.

I have added another Tenerife update to my livejournal. One more to transcribe, then I’ll probably do one more to cover what those don’t. It’s a true rollercoaster ride of mediocrity.

On an unrelated note, does this title seem familiar? Besides Red Dwarf, I mean. I’m starting to get concerned that I’m re-using them. It’s hard enough to come up with something interesting or witty as it is. First person to spot a repeat gets to choose what I change the title of the offending double to. No cash alternative.
