Blog. It's been like a week since I last updated you. For this I apologise. My computer's still on the brink, and it's not good as I don't get an awful lot of anything done, because as I have realised my entire creative career pretty much relies on having computers around, for writing, drawing or communicating. I've had to make do with phones and paper and stuff. What a world we live in. I need to send the damn thing off the get fixed, but I only just got my files back yesterday off the guy who spent 4 days doing what was essentially a two hour job. The other reason I haven't blogged is because there isn't an awful lot to blog about. It's the summer and everything's quiet and I actually haven't tried to do anything. I have spent the last few days playing games I haven't played in years, but not the cool asian mystery game or anything, more like Final Fantasy X. I've been planning a lot of this comic (or graphic novel as is the vernaculer) which I plan on doing with Wilson, about a guy who wanders and helps people out. But right now all I really have is a weak story and a lot of drawings involving a man wearing a fedora and a big coat, assuring me that this will in no way have any cliches.

My computer is broken. It's not booting or doing any normal computer things and this isn't good. I have to take it to the shop to get it fixed soon, but those guys are ruthless bastards and I'm going to do the healthiest thing and dread the worst, which is I lose a bunch of files because the last time I updated it all to disc was back in October. So it's not all bad, but I lose the last 7 months of work, which is some of the best I've done. I now realise how great sites like storywrite and deviantart are, cos at least I haven't lost the short stories I've finsihed. I posted a lot of shit up on this blog too, so it's nice to know I have some sort of makeshift internet vault flying around everywhere. I'm typing this on another's laptop, and it's that awkward thing where no one's laptop works very well when you use it because it's not, well, your computer, so the keys are always somehow in the wrong place and the whole things feels very uncomfortable and weird. Like using their toothbrush. I learnt there are softwares that can help recover files after formatting's been done. If worse comes to worse I can always download that (well, the free trial), crack it and see what it can do for a few hundred pounds.
