...This blogging business. Finally got myself set up with a laptop, wireless broadband and all the right software (tracks eraser, file shredder, disk encryption, ISP masking etc.). Then, a good old-fashioned case of writer's block.
Need to get back on the horse I guess. Not heroin! Writing. Plenty of ideas tapped into that old .TXT file but few any good. Not stories, not yet, just stuff swilling about.
How about:
- The Tesco that grew a.k.a the world that shrank
- A man who tried to kill god.
- The exploding - what a party that was. And the characters I met; such strange professions.
- Twenty Flu (and the Moral Council... remember them?)
- Faded, worn toothbrushes, lined up neatly on a beach, exactly one billion years from now.
- Trans-Lit
- Some general Cult of Ocado stuff, not sure where it's going.
- Counting elephants.
Any take ya fancy?
And if you're interested, I've been mainly working, going to nice bars and restaurants, spending far too much money, that kind of thing. The usual OE dissolute-if-energetic - although never, ever glamorous - lifestyle.
Um. How about the fact that Obama sounds like Oh Damn Her?

I am so glad you're back.

Cult of Ocado sounds interesting but I'm pretty happy to read anything you want to write about! I'm just glad you're back!

Ocado? Tesco? You're finding inspiration in groceries! Ideas/execution of posts do not always need to be good. We'll read and come back for more regardless.

is it really you ?

Twenty Flu and the moral whateveritwas, largely because I have even less inkling of what that might be about than I do the other ones.
And aren't new laptops fantastic. I'm just back on the horse meself after what seems like 6 months of really dull IT related nonsense, the stress of which quite frankly was enought to turn a lesser man to getting on that other sort of horse you were on about.
