Diary of an up and coming sociopath

• What the fuck. New Avengers #50 was a FIVE DOLLAR book. Seriously, I don’t usually feel stupid buying individual issues, but that’s NOT COOL #
• @marcellerby I’m printing up my ELLERBY WAS RIGHT t-shirt as we speak. #
• Did the Tomb Raider DLC. Advertised length: 3-6 hours, actual length: ~2 hours, and that includes many accidental plummets to my death. #
• It had 6 new outfits, including: blue bikini, gold bikini and camo bikini. What better choice for investigating dank, spider-infested tombs? #
• Also, given what I just saw under her house she should probably get the builders in, there *may* be a problem with rising damp. #
• After all, not many people can swim across their basement. #
• BBC headlines to make you double-take: “Veteran attack response fantastic”. Finally those veterans are getting what they deserve! #
• @sarahdobbs As time moves on, Chris Morris looks less like a satirist and more like a futurist. #
• recession update: I have dropped IDW’s Angel comic and will not replace it on my pull list, to compensate for Marvel’s increasing prices. #

• Just back from seeing @Herring1967 do his latest show. Comedy genius. Bought a DVD from the merch stall too! TAKE MY MONEY HERRING, PLEASE. #

• I had a haircut. A whole bunch of ‘em, in fact. (joke on loan from the Museum of Fossilised Humour) #

• Interesting things you discover on Facebook: Someone I went to school with appears to be a British Nationalist. And he’s in the army. #
• I am deadline-free for a few days. First CBR reviews, then MM reviews, then work on one of my many non-paying projects. You know, for fun! #
• @crayman It’s a living! I’ve still got a bunch of L&D side-story to do, and SF4 should/had better arrive tomorrow too. No rest for me! #
• @sarahdobbs I like how the quiz drone couldn’t even admit it was wrong even though NO-ONE got it right. Amazing dedication. #
• STREET FIGHTER IV IS HERE. SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY! #
• @hmobius given that the questioner refers to the large “cannon” of literary characters, I’m going to absolve Moore of that particular gaffe #
• @sarahdobbs Every time Moore speaks he finds some new brilliant insight. Although perhaps because he says so much. I pity the transcriber. #
• Heading out to the post office to collect a package. As per Twitter requirements, please make yourself aware that I have skipped breakfast. #
• @sebpatrick I also do that ;-) Also, as for the bit I don’t agree with, well, if Moore had read All Star Superman he might not be saying it #
• @sebpatrick as for “talk at length”… you got that right. I’m trying to imagine him on Twitter. Economy of language is not his strong point #
• I think gmail needs an east end thug to come and have a chat with it. #
• Seconds after that tweet, I am logged into gmail! The power of the east end thug! Thank you Armando Iannucci! #
• @sarahdobbs I had a few, but that’s because I hadn’t checked it since last night. Now my inbox is empty and life is meaningless again. #

• Trying to slash a “complete” piece down to ~400 words. I rewrote loads to be more succinct, checked word count… I’d lost SIX. FRUSTRATION. #
• On the plus side, using Twitter really encourages concise writing. Every thought I have can be distilled into 140 characters or fewer! #
• Me: “I cannot afford not to use this quote! IT’S VITAL!” Word Count: “Okay, but that means I’m going UP 20 words. HAHAHAHA.” #
• Someone fetch me the editing machete. I’m going to bed in 20 minutes and the “safe” draft is going to be done by then OR ELSE. #
• though precisely no-one cares, a “safe” draft is one I can submit even if my fingers drop off on deadline day. My one nod to professionalism #
• Admittedly I would have to submit it by tapping the keyboard with my nose, or the bloodied stumps on my hands, but you get what I mean. #
• The article’s in. Now I enter the hand-wringing fear of rejection stage. #
• Also, I almost called Andi Watson an American. Boy, that would’ve been stupid. Good job I decided to actually check my facts. #
• Our team, Psychonauts, WON [some crisps] in the quiz. And that’s what matters, not your petty notions of “scores” and “right answers”. #

• @crayman That’s all I could think for the second half of the episode. That guy had a hilarious death scene, too. Ranting to the last. #

• I finished Lost and Damned last night, but SF4 hasn’t arrived yet! How am I supposed to work to my schedule under these conditions?! #

• @swierczy (Sorry if spoiler): Babar also married his cousin. If half of this was in a modern comic, you’d assume @warrenellis wrote it… #
• Crap, Street Fighter 4 just shipped and I’m nowhere near the end of Lost & Damned. Better get to work! Those games won’t play themselves. #
• @RobHunt Luckily the boss has just given me the day off. By which I mean me. I have just given me the day off. #
• Newsarama, I don’t care if you’ve got a video of Alan Moore punching Jesus in the face, I’m not sitting through TV adverts ON MY PC. #

• The Wolverine movie is going to show him with bone claws. Comic fans WIN. Next we’ll make movie-goers accept the idea of a smart Hulk! #

• Sometimes being nocturnal has its disadvantages. The sooner I can get to sleep, the sooner GTA IV’s DLC will be out. #
• Btw, I wrote the Micro Mart cover feature this week, about ISP caps. On shelves til Thursday! Mention me to your vendor and get no discount! #
• Starting to be irritated that sites are doing so much video-only content. I’m too busy to watch it! Give me easily-scannable text, please! #
