It&#8217;s the first time in a while it has really rained and walking in it was nice. It&#8217;s also cold. It&#8217;s been a while since it was cold and it&#8217;s nice. I shall regret both of these statements soon, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The great London blackout did not affect me at all and indeed I didn&#8217;t know about it until it was over. Ah well it seems to have just crippled the tube and that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Speaking of the tube, my Oystercard arrived yesterday. It&#8217;s only now that paper tickets are being replace with electronic cards. It&#8217;s about damn time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;ve mislaid my mobile, I have no idea where I put it down. This is not a good thing and it&#8217;s on silent so ringing it to find out where it is would not be ideal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Autonomy is a good thing and should be actively encouraged. There are times, not often enough for my liking where it&#8217;s really good. Being able to make a decision about something is a damn good thing and it helps a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Music is all over the place this week, I can&#8217;t seem to get right into the mood to listen to something. Came close with some Aerosmith earlier today but didn&#8217;t quite make it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <i>100 Bullets<\/i> is on the comic rereading list right now. It&#8217;s better the second time around, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I got some new <i>West Wing<\/i> yesterday so I&#8217;ve watched three new episodes and they have been great. The debate finally happened in the last one and it was excellent. Made me laugh a lot in places, such a wonderful cast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Something feels like it has changed. It&#8217;s very small and minor but it feels different. I can&#8217;t put my finger on why, I&#8217;m not exactly sure I know the what either. It feels a little like I&#8217;ve just started paying attention again which actually just as I type those words I&#8217;ve not been doing for a little while. Just before anyone runs anywhere with that one, I&#8217;m talking about a specific subject which you&#8217;ll note I&#8217;ve not mentioned. I prefer it this way, 100%, I&#8217;m wondering why it wasn&#8217;t this way for the past few weeks?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I want a quiet weekend, I really want a quiet weekend. But I don&#8217;t want everything that comes with that, the boredom around the flat, the feeling like I have nothing to do, the sitting around in my room or in the lounge in front of a screen. I want to do some reading and I want to do some walking but the latter isn&#8217;t really going to happen unless the music clicks again. Once it does I can put the headphones on and go for it. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; There is more but it&#8217;s going to have to be for another time. I need to shut down and sleep. I&#8217;ll get better at blogging again soon I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Typing time.
