Ramblings

I'm going a little insane... Last - and the first - time I used this blogger thang, it didn't publish... but now, thankfully, it does! Strange... but never mind!

Anyway, I don't really have much to say, I was only really checking if it worked... (Obviously this is re-edited). Another niggle: the clock is on american time, and also takes the time one starts to write, whereas since I write over the course of maybe an hour, whilst playing iSketch and other important things, automatically adding it at the end (pushing for GMT would be too much, I know) might be advantageous... but that is admittedly an irrelevant point, and as you may have guessed, just an excuse to bulk out my entry a bit... :D

Anything else I should ramble about? Oh yes: this tome of wisdom will one day be transferred to my website I hope, when said website is actually up and running... that is, the website I shall make rather than the bizarre little conncoction that is my second personal one to date... If you reeeeeeeeeally want to, you can check it out at ... (It should be obvious from the domain name why I wish to abandon it in the past and not update it... the first page, as you probably weren't wondering, was never even published to the web... it was a masterly creation(for a 10-year old) and was mostly dedicated to Warhammer, a vaguely Middle Earth style war-game(that is, one where you spend pointless hours painting little models then roll dice to 'make them fight'...) but such are the fascinations of childhood...).

Wow... Not only did I demonstrate my powers of waffle and of overusing brackets, but also managed to wax lyrical about something I'd rather forget... "How rare!"

Anyway, this should give you a flavour of what is to come, should you have mistakenly wandered onto this page in a future in which I have remembered to continue updating it...

Ah, the parallel universes(futures) theory, think you (if you read 'Discworld' or watched 'Sliders' that is...)

Speaking of which, A: I should put some links on here, including ones to Discworld sites, and B: what happened to Sliders? Does anyone else remember it? I can't remember the name of the lead guy, but he was the boyfriend in Scream 2! (Useless film trivia: another key feature of my possible future postings...) Also it had John Rhys-Davies as the avuncular figure... for those who don't recognise the name, you'd probably recognise the face as Gimli from the Lord of the Rings trilogy... And to save myself from having to explain Sliders, I'll direct anyone who doesn't know or would like to remind themselves of it to: http://www.brillig.com/sliders/introduction.html (I note from the title that the hosts have good taste in poetry :D)

One last point... While checking my Yahoo mail I noticed at the top of the page an advert for the US Air Force Reserve... that's right, you too can sign up to draft dodger central, which kept George Bush home safe in Texas during the Vietnam War... Other notable achievements to date: while in Afghanistan they bombed the Canadians, and in Iraq they bombed a British convoy... flying a large Union Jack... Clap, clap, clap...
