I'm back!

Hello, dear blog, dear readers, dear Emma.
I’m sorry it’s taken me such a long while to get back to writing here, but life has been happening all around me so I haven’t found the time to do this.
2010 is looking to be an odd year, but a good one. I need to cut some things out of my schedule so I get more time on my hands, because I’ve been really stressed out lately. These last couple of days were downright scary. Every morning I went back to sleep after waking up, and kept sleeping all day! Waking up at four in the afternoon, not quite sure how that happened, is not a pleasant feeling at all, I can tell you guys.

Right now I’m waiting for the wife to get home, she’s had a really rough day today, a big test and absolutely no sleep at all (I should know, I was keeping her company). We’re both absolutely knackered so this night’s activities will probably only be us chowing down on some fast-food before falling into a coma.

I’ll start wrapping things up now because I just acutely ran out of things to say. I promise I’ll be more interesting next time. I’ll finish with recommending you a really awesome book: Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson. It’s witty and fun and manages to create characters that are really exceptional but still feel like real people that you can relate to and understand. It’s warm and welcoming and really draws you in. My only problem with it is that, like many books with teenage main characters, a lot of the plot evolves around people getting caught up in their own lies, and I have a real hard time tackling that kind of plot, but that is just personal preference and I still liked the characters enough to keep reading even when all I wanted was to give all of them a good smack.
So, Suite Scarlett, check it out!

Oh, and here is a little youtube clip that NEVER fails to both crack me up and piss me off at the same time. I mean, when you actually think about the fact that these lines are meant to be taken seriously, and probably were considered to be romantic at the time, then there is nothing funny about it at all, it’s just depressing. But still… I can’t help but laugh at it, because it’s just that stupid.
