I'm really fricking tired. I have been sleeping just fine. I just haven't been sleeping much. Once I nod off I'm fine, but it's getting to that stage. Five nights on the trot now I've got to sleep at gone 2am, which when I'm up and working the next day is never a good thing. I am feeling a lot better than I was this time last week, though. I'm still not 100% sure what virus I had - no one I know has been ill - but I do know I was as sick as a dog.
Really looking forward to the Bristol Comics Expo next week. Any other UK bods gonna be in attendance? I have a confession to make, though. I've never been to a comics con before. The only fan con I've ever attended was a Transformers one years ago, which did a lot to convince me that cons could be fun and entertaining social events and not full of scary people at all. Of course, I've also had various meets with the online fandom since, which added to that impression, so I have no doubt I'll have fun and there's a bunch of people I'm looking forward to meeting.
The fact that I know a couple of other people who are attending, and I'm going with friends is no bad thing either.
Speaking of which, I need to make my mind up whether I'm going to drive up or get the train. Not sure I can be bothered to drive. It's not that far, but I don't particularly enjoy driving and I'd still have to mess around worrying about parking and shit when I get there. Ho hum. I suppose I'd better make a decision soon.
THIS IS EXCITING STUFF, FOLKS.
Speaking, in a round-about way, of comics, I just finished the Ultimate Invincible Hardcover Collection #5 and I'm just about to start on the Power Girl trade. I should probably try and review the comics I've been reading, shouldn't I? Short version: Invincible is still one of those impossibly consistent reads, which is always entertaining, even if this collection wasn't spectacular. Some problematic scenes, but still, I don't know why this book isn't shifting Spider-man numbers. Mind you, I don't know why Spider-man is.
Randomly, I also notice that the production company behind The Hurt Locker have taken legal action against 50,000 individuals in the US who downloaded the movie over Bittorrent. So, I guess a lot of us filthy pirates will be watching how that one plays out with interest.
Rehearsals for the play I'm doing are going well. I don't really have a lot of lines - mostly one word answers, but that's sometimes more difficult than learning long speeches. And I have a lot of action to learn, which I always find tricky - the basics of knowing what door to go through, not so much, but just moving about the stage when I've not got anything to say and making sure I'm out the way when some other bugger enters. It sounds straightforward, but it never is. Still a month until the performance, but there's still a lot of tightening up to do.
My country has a new government. I think most people are pretending nothing's happened and hoping it all goes away. Or rather, they all go away. The British people made it pretty clear that we wouldn't trust any of them in sole charge of running the country. Most of us probably wouldn't trust them in sole charge of running a bath.
I'm more interested in the state of play on Great British Menu. Those are the results I'm waiting for.
And if that wasn't all random enough, here's Keanu Reeves brushing a dog:
