…well I don’t really do a lot for Halloween. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever been to a proper halloween party. Maybe when I was much much younger. I don’t know, usually I just close myself off from the world and watch horror films. It’s all a bit invented though, like Christmas. Its been taken out of context, even though I like ghouls and ghost stories and that sort of thing.

Hohum.

I’m thinking of doing a list of my top 10/20 favourite horror icons. This may or may not appear because I’m trying to concentrate on getting more of my story written right now as opposed to writing long blogs. I did write some tonight, but it’s difficult to get into it with so many other destractions. I’m also very aware that I haven’t been playing my electric violin, it’s dead cool and I really should. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to get stuck into all these creative persuits between work and sleep. Will work something out though (crossed fingers)!

Lordy that Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross thing’s gone on a bit. Basically I think there were some stupid decisions made but I rather like those two - at least they’re characters, overpaid characters maybe, but they have to be more entertaining than a lot of other souless chat hosts, even if you do hate them. Sach seems like a very nice man though, and I’m sure a 78 year old gent doesn’t want to hear those kinds of things left on his answer phone. Also, anyone else would’ve been sacked - if that had been a live show, but that it got past the BBC and then got shot down was crazy. They should never have aired it. These are all humans we’re talking about though, so bugger it. It’s been done to death. Let’s let it lie. Speaking of which, time for some kip…

..but before I go, the MSN website did an interesting little top 10 iconic gaming characters poll as voted by users. I was suprised to see Sonic in the number 1 slot followed by Mario and then Lara. Next was Pacman, Link (from Zelda), Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Crash, Solid Snake and finally Luigi. I’m certainly glad Lara and Snake were up there, Mario and Kong too. Not too bothered about the others, really.

Laters.

(Tried to post this last night but it wouldn’t have it)

Today I’m shirking my blogging and fobbing you off with this post about nothing in particular. I’ve been working on making my site W3C compliant which is a good exercise if you’re a budding web developer. I haven’t really done much writing in the last few days, and once again the weekend flew by. It’s feeling a lot more like winter these days. The clocks went back an hour and confused me, and tonight I got warm and comfy and watched Spooks (ruthless lot!) and Dead Set. I hope to have more updates to the Sandwich Man comic shortly, which is already the favourite of one member (fluke?)! hopefully soon the comic will drive traffic here. What I really need is to populate my website with decent text, Dwardus Prime is a little lacking at present. My two other projects that will appear soon - Love in the Time of Zombies and Sisters Noir will hopefully also generate some interest.
