Everything I need to know about life I learned from Sci-Fi...

Part One - Blake's Seven

  1. If you're a genocidal megalomaniac, over act.
  2. Abandoned, drifting space vehicles several hundred years old are bad for your health.
  3. The telepath, far from being the detector of the first sign of trouble is the nearly always the first point of trouble.
  4. Idealists never win, they get shot.
  5. Pacifists never win, they get crushed.
  6. Mystic women on dead planets spell trouble.
  7. Shoot your enemy when you get the chance, you may not get another.
  8. Perfectly functioning super space cruisers that have been abandoned usually have a catch.
  9. Prophecies from super computers will come true, just not in the way you expect.
  10. If it looks like a trap and smells like a trap and has trap written on it in neon letters ten feet high and is too good to be true anyway then it must be a trap. Trust your first impression.

Poser...

That's me, I'm a poser! Today I became a male model, modeling Amy-Clare Design fashions. Go, look at the website and buy stuff. If I wear it, it must be good!

Slightly shop soiled year's resolutions...

According to my clock it's Monday 05-02-2007 but I'm sure that it's still Sunday. Ah well, that's the arbitrary nature of time and dates. It marches on even though we're settled in the past...

Anyway, if the clock is right then I'm 33 years and 1week old. Go me. According to hobbit law I have now come of age and it's now time to put my irresponsible 'tweens' behind me. That's a nuisance, I hadn't planned on being responsible. There was a wake for my 33rd year given last Saturday. From what I observed about myself on that night there's precious little responsibility left in me. Two cocktails at once? Dear, oh dear...

So, it's now over a twelfth of the way into 2007 and I thought I should write down a few things that I should do this year in a kind of bloke-y Bridget Jones way. I believe that's the premise of that film, I haven't seen it...

1 Update this thing at least once a week. I have it, I should use it for more than just a handy homepage and link provider.

2 Buy a flat. I'm fed up paying landlord's for no return. I may as well pay the bank instead and have something to show for it.

3 Write something! I have ideas but never put pen to paper or at least finger to keyboard. How hard can it be?

4 Run Spacemaster. I've been threatening it for years. This September, I promise...

5 Visit everyone. I'm an awful friend. I should have been in the Shetlands at the start to this week but I f***ed up. This year, I promise...

6 The big one. Find someone. Without pretending to be something I'm not. Apparently this is tricky. I've never been actively looking before but this year I think it's about damned time.

I'm sure there are other things I should be up to but these seem to be the most pressing half dozen.
