I am a god of banal content. I defend myself by pointing to the success of Secret Santa. My limited involvement in that must surely counteract the bad karma I’m getting from writing such crap recently.

I’m sleeping too much. Not vastly too much, but too much. I can’t seem to wake up in the mornings! This morning I was woken up by my flatmate at 9am. Since I was supposed to get to work by 9.30am I had to skip all pleasantries of breakfast and shower, throw my clothes on and throw myself on to the nearest tube train. This isn’t the first time that this has happened recently.

I’m not just a freelancer… I’m a travelling gun-for-hire.

Can anyone explain this “joke” to me? NO-Acetol Warning – probably need to be good at chemistry…

So who was the famous Tourist Guy after all?

Of course the best thing about the web is that it’s a place where you can find out all kinds of cool information that you didn’t know about before. Like – for example – information on the various hats of the Old West.

In case you’re wondering why I posted so little yesterday, the main reason was getting the TCN Quiz up and running. I spent ages making sure the questions were suitable ridiculous enough – so if you really want to know who’s been brushing their teeth in restaurants recently because they’re obsessed by their bad breath… Well, you know where to go…

And lo from the moistened orifice of ThinkBlank.com did spring fully-formed – Secret Santa!

And lo, in the course of conversation, did J Ko say, “you could call it secret holiday gift-giving robot“…

You know, pretty much everything’s picking up at the moment. I’ve slept properly, had some money, found everything extremely easy to deal with, and – apart from living in a pig-sty – basically I’m pretty content. A year ago, in pretty much the same situation, I would probably have been pretty miserable. It just goes to show how perspectives change with circumstances. All I can do now is hope that I’ll have a job when my stint at TCN comes to an end.
