As I said in my last post I want to try and make sure I get at least one blog post up a week. So to adhere to at least the letter if not the spirit of that goal I set up a small blog entry to autopost each Sunday. And I clearly set it up correctly which is why this is going up just over a day late. Yay, technology!<\/p>\n
This week was marred by a fairly vile bout of flu which I still havent recovered from. Though around Friday I could at least think straight. I really need to do something about my general health. It’s annoying losing a week to that. I also ended up getting guilted into putting flatpack furniture together and fucked up my back again. Yes, yes, whinge, whinge, I know. I did get a bit of gaming done at the beginning and ending of the week. I finished off Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (amazing game, one of the best action games I’ve played in years and possibly the only game where it actually feels like you’re wielding a razor sharp lump of death) last Sunday and this Sunday I continued my initial experience with the new SimCity (really great game and I seemed to bypass the infamous server issues entirely).<\/p>\n
So not productive, but at least it was unproductive in a tangentially productive way. This week has been going better. Still feeling wiped out from the flu but I got back to finishing off the initial draft of my novel. As I was reading through it to re-familiarise myself with I could see quite a bit wrong with it. Not sure if its entirely salvageable but I still want to get a complete first draft done and at least give it a once over. At that point I might abandon it and move on but at least then it’ll be properly “complete”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
