I&#8217;ve neglected this here blog for a while, mainly due to a few things catching up to me, and a few new things occupying most of my time, all leading up to me having little time to analyse my days enough to write a few hundred words about some inanity here.

It&#8217;s a New Year, and I feel like crap. I&#8217;m in a cold, empty house, I worked today, and I&#8217;ll probably be working tomorrow. I&#8217;ve got the remnants of the flu, which are seeming worse than the flu ever was, and any minute now the stupid birds outside my window (which it now occurs to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poisonedsponge.wordpress.com&blog=4555327&post=317&subd=poisonedsponge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

On the train today, a man walked by me carrying a box of Corn Flakes. They weren&#8217;t Kellogs, just Tescos&#8217; own brand, but it seemed to sum up the past week; there&#8217;s probably a perfectly good explanation for it, but it&#8217;s both confusing and amusing at the same time. You see, like most people do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poisonedsponge.wordpress.com&blog=4555327&post=315&subd=poisonedsponge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

So there are a few deadlines slowly creeping up on me, the usual end of term stuff that happens at University. Except, of course, the fact that I&#8217;m doing some really rather interesting modules this year, including on Creative Writing one. I&#8217;ve got the bones of a story written, but it&#8217;s too short, and I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poisonedsponge.wordpress.com&blog=4555327&post=310&subd=poisonedsponge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

So far, today&#8217;s been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Maybe it&#8217;s the sleep deprivation, but at the moment the glass is looking like it&#8217;s containing 50% water. I&#8217;ll start at the beginning, which will be a bit of an achievement, because I&#8217;m feeling a little confused, deflated and annoyed right now.

I once read that the greatest beauty is in destruction, and that nothing is truly realised until it has been completed and then ravaged. I can understand the appeal of it, the idea of taking away that which makes it beautiful, only to enhance that which remains. A ruined church maintains its potential for beauty; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poisonedsponge.wordpress.com&blog=4555327&post=304&subd=poisonedsponge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There&#8217;s another reason I&#8217;ve been a bit busy this week, and that&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been helping set up a PC gaming blog with a couple of chums made through Rock, Paper, Shotgun called The Reticule. Apparently I thought up the name, and I&#8217;m sure at the time I thought it was something about hitting our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=poisonedsponge.wordpress.com&blog=4555327&post=301&subd=poisonedsponge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Here we are again, after a week of negligable posting I feel kind of bad. Truth is, I&#8217;ve had Fallout 3, Far Cry 2 and the Left 4 Dead demo to keep my occupied.

I didn&#8217;t actually write anything in my Wednesday seminar this week, hence the fact that this is going out on a Friday, not a Wednesday.
