Insert Humour Here

Oh wow, how behind am I?

OK, so I’ve been reading a lot recently. I’ve also been reading ’s (the main writer of Websnark) journal. Both are about webcomics. Y’know, those things I’ve always loved reading? I alos read , the author of my absolute favourite webcomic, Something Positive. There’s a big end of year story arc going on. Cool, says I, the blogging world is quiet, everyone’s doing family stuff except for and let’s face it, no parliament means not so much news. Plus, well, it’s Xmas, I’m trying to contain my normal vitriol.

So, I go to my bookmarks, and go to the last Something Positive comic I read (I always bookmark the one before the index, I tend to read a week or so in a bunch, letting the dial-up dl one while I read the one before). I’ll read from there, and catch up. Shouldn’t take long should it? October. Early October. I’ve barely been reading any webcomics since October, with the exception of Flem, which I’m also behind on. I dread to think how many Megatokyos or Devil’s Panties I need to catch up on. Ah well.

If anyone needs me, I’m loading and reading multiple tabs of a webcomic about a depressive, habitually single 30-something gamer with a vicious sense of humour and lots of smart female friends who aren’t interested in him. Hmmm…

Oh yeah, it’s nearly that time of night. Bah Humbug to the lot of you ;-)

  3. Christmas card? Not that I’m aware of, um, when did I give you my address anyway?

  4. You didn’t, Mark and I did some investigative work (ie: went to http://www.lalgroup.com/default.htm and changed default to index) and snooped around till we found an address in Torbay. It might get forwarded to you by next Christmas, you never know…

  6. hey!! didn’t i agree to marry you? does that mean i’m not counted as a smart single friend?!! humph. and where’s my big shiny diamond?:)

  7. Agreeing to marry isn’t the same as being interested unless in context.

    Of course, if it weren’t for the idea of agreeing with your sister, I’d say she did have a point in many ways.

    But, um, diamond buying is a little out of the question right now. If I sort the finances out, then it could happen. Would you accept an invisible intangible promise instead?

  8. Oh yeah; and yes, it is 5am. I did get to sleep, early, then I got a phone call, and have been wide awaks ever since :-(
    Coherence not perhaps at my best level right now.

  9. what was her point? i forget.. take it this is older sister you don’t want to agree with:)

  10. She was of the drunken opinion that as we act like a couple we ought to be one, and yes, Katherine, she who can’t conceive of having male friends that aren’t boyfriends or boyfriends of a femal friend…
