And now I hurt in TWO places...

Warning - this is icky, but not otherwise offensive... )

Yeah, my elbow now looks like a false-colour image of a nebula taken by the Hubble. Sticking a plaster on it was A Bad Idea, it transpires.

Elsewhat... That's the AVENGERS BluRay on its way back to Amazon.

Oh, hold on...



I forgot one book on my "buy a book a month" Task list, and therefore yesterday's buying binge took me to the completion point for Task 29
29 Buy one book a month from an actual bookshop.
Okay, I might not have strictly bought "a book a month", but I did for most of the time, and and the end of it I had purchased 33 books, so that's as good as a *SCORE* for me.

That makes it one-third distance, with one full week to go. This weekend, I'll do some wrap-up, deciding which Mission-long Tasks are done, and which aren't. Right now, I'm scoping out some original comic art - maybe, if I win the auctions, I can snatch a victory, and another *SCORE*...

Yay! Part of my Christmas shopping order arrived at last...

...pity it's one of the items I ordered for myself. Ordered on the 3rd, everything was due by the 10th, and this item, posting all on its lonesome, was individually due on the 8th - and now there's all kinds of talk about various online retailers and shipping companies halting deliveries and taking orders for Scotland! No wonder the "Scottish Government" Transport Minsiter quit.

Right now, the roads are clear, the weather is a good deal warmer than it has been of late, and yes, there will be a backlog from "The Big Freeze", but COME ON. I'm sensing a whole lotta shirkin' goin' on. (Uh huh huh...) "Oooh, let's have a day off, and blame it on the snow..."

Add to this the damage done by the hacker scum, who can't seriously get away with not shouldering some of the blame for Amazon tripping over itself, and my, what a wonderful time we're all having!

Meanwhile... Oooh, look - a Mission 101 advancement opportunity! I just won an item that counts as the first sub-*SCORE!* for
33 - Buy at least three pages of original comic art *NEW 21-01-10*
- I just grabbed myself a small slice of Ultraverse!

And then there's...

Development News... I actually have two Chapters of Flight 102 Is Overdue in the works right now, the latter of which includes material written TWO YEARS AGO. That's how long this story has been "in the works".

These things take time, people. Expect the start of Part 2 to post later this week - I'm planning on having the whole thing written and posted by the end of the year!
