Private Thoughts Made Public

You know it’s getting bad when you actually have to start reading your own blog to find out if those few random notes you made during your lunch break and emailed to yourself at home actually made it into a post. And since these particular random notes haven’t yet made it into a post, I thought I’d sort them out and promote them to “fully-fledged blog entry” right now. Or tomorrow, if I don’t get this finished tonight. Or indeed yesterday, which it probably will have been by the time you’re reading this. Or was. Technically I’m writing this tomorrow, since it’s past midnight and I’m going to backdate the entry when I post it just to make it look like I wrote something on the first of the month. In my mind it’s still today no matter what the time is. It only turns into tomorrow once I’ve been to bed, slept and woken up again. You can imagine how confused I get if I stay awake all night, something I haven’t done in years and years and years. I’ve probably pulled an all-nighter about three times in my life (all the other times I’ve tried it I’ve dozed off at about six or seven a.m.) so going by my logic I’m still on the 28th of January, since those three days never turned into tomorrow. Or something.
Anyway, the notes I made in my lunch break? Boring drivel, something about how much good quality television there is at the moment, and how it’s all on Channel 4, and what am I paying my TV licence for if I never watch anything on the BBC? Well, almost nothing. I can’t find anything to watch on BBC1 these days, and on BBC2 I only watch Top Gear repeats and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. On channel 4 I’m watching ER, Shameless, Brat Camp, Desperate Housewives, Anatomy For Beginners (excellent but far too short) and a few other bits and pieces.
Now tell me, would you rather have read me waffling on about tv programmes, or trying to unravel the space-time continuum in the early hours of the morning? Or is it the late hours of the evening? Only you can decide – to vote for the early hours of the morning, call 09011 123123, and to vote for the late hours of the evening call 09011 123124. Calls cost 10p, none of which goes to charity.
I think I need to get out more.
