Interested to read that you feel you think too slowly when you’re talking. I struggle to think of things to say when I’m speaking, but always seem to be anyway – usually because I’m making a joke out of something, to the point where I’m sometimes the only person saying anything for ages, marking every little one of life’s splutters and tics with a shit remark, only to review the situation later on and realise I would hate spending time with myself. Yay! Fortunately I’ve stopped drinking – I’m no less a fan of myself when I don’t, but at least I’m less inclined to force myself upon life with a skip and a jig and a terrible pun, which makes things a bit more pleasant. Oh, and you seem to have put “Oblivion” when you meant “Viva Pinata”. Horstachio, Tom. You don’t even need to play it to see the logic here.

Oh, and Bowie as Telsa: Genius.

Well, I now can’t play Red Alert 2 as the Soviets without picturing Bowie as the Troopers…

All that cheerfulness, and here I am saying "de rigeur". Bah humbug.

Nice post. Cheers for that. Personal.
I envy the fact you are not bored of Oblivion. It just got to a point with me where I saw through it, and didn’t want to do the same actions again.

The fact both my charecters levelled themselves off into a dead end may have something to do with it. The first, a jack-of-all-trades, levelled up massively due to alchemy, and got killed by everything.
The second tried to be hand-to-hand. With amazing magic swords and easily obtainable potions about the place, this was a terrible move.

I see you share the trait I have of talking absolute rubbish when drunk. Then not remembering what you said, until someone tells you, or says “you were talking rubbish last night” and you put your head in your hands and go “please don’t tell me”?

I wasn’t a huge fan of The Prestige. Sure, it was quite clever (if you haven’t read the book) and was a fairly entertaining watch, but it did feel in some places like it wasn’t really sure what sort of movie it wanted to be and a little too clever for its own good.

I did like the use of Thom Yorke’s Analyse at the end though.

This was a great read, so thank you.

My mind also loses interest mid-sentence, which is probably why I never manage to hold the attention of the people I’m talking to.

Happy new year.
