I was going to post this yesterday, but events rather diverged from their planned course. Anyway, here goes...
Here's a laugh... Wales assembly debates tighter sun bed laws. People are still freaking out about Fukushima, a genuine disaster that's still a LONG way from being resolved, yet more people will die of cancer caused by sun beds and "a bit of holiday sun" in this country alone in about a week than are ever likely to die from radiation exposure in Japan because of the recent earthquake and tsunami. Fourteen reactors shut down safely and properly when the earthquake hit, but the Fukushima reactors had to face the tsunami as well - a seven metre wall of water, with only a five metre sea-wall standing in its way.
Staying out of the sun is a heck of a lot easier than avoiding an on-coming tsunami...
And another... I can't wait to hear people crying out "human rights violation" when the next protest march comes along, and people are FORCED to show their faces. At the weekend, there was an entirely peaceful, and legal march against the upcoming cuts, but some bunch of commies/anarchists/losers decided to use it as a stepping stone for a rampage off the designated march route, smashing up shops and banks as "direct action against tax evasion", or what most people would call "out and out jealousy". These "activists" KNOW they're breaking the law - why would they hide their faces if that wasn't the case? - and it's time they faced the full force of the law. They should be grateful they're not living in Libya or Bahrain, where protesting gets you shot by the government...
Development News... I may be missing out on early-morning writing sessions, but that isn't slowing things down much. TDD-612 REIGNFALL Chapter 7 is now on the "completed" list, and I almost have an important insert ready for earlier in the story, which I'll complete and deploy later today.
I'm considering posting TDD-611 on the first Saturday of April, so that the way is clear for REIGNFALL when TDD-611 is done. I could arrange things so that the two stories run one after the other, and meet the promised REIGNFALL launch date. I can do that if TDD-611 starts on 21st April...
In Today's Suckage News... Meh. No Sucker Punch this week coming at the local cinema. Disappointed.
