Sundry Sunday Guff
By pure chance I have noticed that this blog is six months old today. Six months? It only feels like a few weeks since I overhauled the site and installed this blog. Shit.
Right, you had your chance but my NaNoWriMo 2005 novel, Helix, has now been unceremoniously obliterated from the server, never to return.
To those unwise fools who did download it: It's not too late to destroy it before you pollute your brain with such drivel.
In the six months that this blog has existed, I have somehow managed to not mention Doctor Who. This is possibly because I strive to not reveal what a total geek I really am. I realise this is a futile gesture and that I am lying to myself.
I'm a geek and I love Doctor Who.
Having said that, I have never, ever been to a sci-fi convention and I do not possess any costumes (although, with the freezing early morning walks to catch the bus to work at the moment, a long, stripy woolen scarf doesn't sound like a bad idea). But I do own several DVDs... Um, at least one (mostly two) of every incarnation of the Doctor going right back to William Hartnell.
I also like Red Dwarf, Farscape, Blake's 7, Angel and Firefly.
So much for all my flouncing around pretending to be a highbrow cinephile and devotee of serious literature and art. Actually, I am a highbrow cinephile and devotee of serious literature and art... but I just also happen to like cult sci-fi TV.
I suppose you can appreciate both.
I am currently reading Notes From The Underground by Dostoyevsky and wondering how some Russian writer who died 94 years before I was born knew me so well.
