A lot of my recent posts have been long and involved, so I think it’s time for a nice, short, inconsequential entry!!! 

Wrote 11 pages of the new book, which I was very pleased about, as I had some workmen come early in the morning to do some stuff for me. It’s very easy to get distracted when you’re a writer working at home, so I was glad I didn’t take the easy excuse of saying "I can’t do a full day’s work because I have something else to deal with!"

I’ve started watching season 6 of The Shield -- great TV!! It’s rattling along brilliantly at the moment. Essential viewing.

Finished season 3 of Battlestar Galactica last week. It ended with a superb cliffhanger. My gal on the inside in New York (you know who you are, bee-atch!!!) tells me season 4 has just started there. I’m almost tempted to immigrate, just to steal a jump on the release schedule over here!!!

I began reading Bloodtide by Melvin Burgess a couple of weeks ago. Fascinating stuff, although I haven’t read any of it in the last week -- I’ve been too busy writing!!

Saw National Treasure tonight. It was better than I thought it would be, though it moved too slowly at times -- if the editing had been a bit tighter, it would have flowed much more smoothly. Still, fun overall. I think I’ll check out the sequel in the near future.

Right -- that’s enough prattling! I’m off to watch some TV and take things easy, because sometimes you just have to!!!
