My Poor Brain

I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Hello readers. What a relief it is, to be on the threshold of the weekend. This has proved to be a fatiguing week. Today in particular has been one of those days in which I felt completely listless, from the moment I was awoken by my sadistic alarm clock; the inevitable sum of the week’s self-inflicted excess. But the psychical weariness wasn’t the main issue; it was the shortened attention span and inability to think coherently that put a strain on my willpower; which was directed at keeping my thoughts in order so I could concentrate on work. My resolve had all but petered out come mid-afternoon when, bored to distraction; all manner of stray thoughts jumped into bed together and made a complete mess of my head, which I have no doubt led to me making a mess of the case I was working on. (I’ll be triple checking that first thing Monday morning).

Annoyingly the moment I got home and tried to put some of those thoughts down on paper, the little buggers suddenly became self-conscious and shy, and proceeded skulk off to the shadows, having yet to find the confidence re-emerge.

This brought a smile back to my face. It made me laugh so hard I cried, twice. Who doesn’t love Stewie Griffin?

If you read Procrastination - A real life Story, you’ll know I set myself a few goals last weekend but failed miserably in achieving them. The bell sounds for round two. I am determined to complete them all this weekend, as I am going to my parents the train journey will remove all of the usual distractions and allow me time to put my thoughts in order, ready to work with in the afternoon. I’m looking forward to having a full roast dinner. : ) That’s one thing I tend not to cook for myself.

Now for something completely different

I started this blog primarily as a means to get myself back in the habit of writing regularly, hoping to then apply it to the novellas and short stories I want so desperately to write. I had no real intention of exploring the blogosphere, but two months into my little experiment I find myself absorbed in it, by choice. Since stumbling upon a few networking sites for bloggers (20SB in particular), I have discovered so many interesting blogs that there days, my reader is looking pretty full.

A couple of my current favourites:

DailyObsessional – Updated multiple times a day, the latest entry (the time of writing) little people, big world is a pretty cool collection of photos.

Stephandcamera – Largely photo entries, she has a fantastic eye for a photo. If you are interested in photography I would definitely recommend you check out her album onf lickr.

There seems to be a running theme with photography here, I think I may begin to upload some of my own sometime soon. Though I am still smarting over a missed photo opportunity last night - As I was walking through the city in the evening, I looked up to noticed that the sky was clear and a really nice deep turquoise. The North Star was shinning brightly above the moon, which was merely a thin wavering crescent. It would have looked fantastic with the darkened cityscape just creeping to frame along the bottom. That will teach me for not having my camera at hand!
